EU wurde angesichts von uns zu „Irrelevanz“ verurteilt, chinesischer Wettbewerb, warnt Meloni

She is right. We need cooperation and communication. Alone we have no chance of being relevant in a world of giants. The EU needs to build one voice towards the outside.

US innovates, China duplicates, EU regulates

Is this true, empirically? It seems to me that this continent has the highest quality of life and the happiest citizens. What exactly are we trying to achieve?

We shouldn’t chase „relevance“ and try to copy others. We should see what’s important to us and reach these goals.

This should be a wake up call

I really don’t like a lot of her politics, but she is making a lot of valid points in terms of identifying the economic stumbling blocks, and she’s correct about Europe needing to play to its strengths and being much more dynamic.

I think in some ways what concerns me about aspects of the EU is that it often feels like the core establishment tends to ignore the more dynamic parts – often places that have developed very quickly and are much more likely to be ducking, diving and innovating, yet the older, often very slow moving larger members tend to dominate policy. It sometimes means you end up with policy that reflects conservative economic instincts and large national lobbies – “Diesel Gate” is an excellent example, a large industry lobby distorted policy away from EVs to protect its status quo. Then when the market moved fast elsewhere they were left trying to scramble to catch up.

I also think the way we handled the post 2008 crash still haunts a lot of places, with a lot of “you must take your austerity medicine” policies that have in many regions just prolonged the illness.

Europe needs to also be very careful that the loudest voices bring acted upon can tend to be the ones taking court cases and exerting themselves through expanding regulatory and legal systems. You can end up with a system driven by complaints and legal cases, rather than by innovative and active policy making.

We’re also facing into a world where the U.S. and China will just bend, ignore or change rules to suit their national interests, assuming that everyone’s going to play by the rules in fair trade isn’t really something you can take granted since Trump.

Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made A Great Point

Stating the obvious after repeatedly genuflecting to Trump and never daring to go anywhere further the stale „unacceptable“ comment of the genocide going on in Gaza.

She’s a joke of a leader, but she’s good at communication, which sadly brings a lot more points these days.

“Irrelevance” is putting it very mildly

YEA THATS YOUR FAULT. right wingers are dooming us

Europe has the talent and resources, it just needs the political will to compete globally

The EU should not have caved in to Trump. Next time around China will bully them into a bad deal.

>The real challenge is a Europe that does less, but does it better

>After decades in which we outsourced European security to the United States — at the cost of an inevitable political dependency — we must be willing to pay the price of our freedom and our independence

At least she is fully open to the bullshit and complete hypocrisy that her politics are. When it comes to boiling things down even she cannot acknowledge the contradiction.

How can the EU do less but at the same time do much more in defence? And beware, Meloni’s bullshit is the same in any kind of political matter. Always against more European integration yet the first to cry about united efforts when she is unwilling to take national responsibility for something. This is nothing more than election propaganda guys.

It’s so weird that the far right populist , fascist adjacent Italian is turning out to be one of the strongest speakers for EU unified power.
