Friends, Germans, citizens from all over, sisters and brothers. We once had a dream. It was the dream of what Europe could have been: Not a single market, a single currency or a common budget. No, we dreamt of Europe as a Peace with Justice Project. That dream has gone, it evaporated in the cold […]

Φίλες και φίλοι, πολίτες απ’ όλο τον κόσμο, συνοδοιπόροι. Είχαμε, κάποτε, ένα όνειρο. Ήταν το όνειρο του τι θα μπορούσε να είναι η Ευρώπη. Δεν ονειρευτήκαμε την ενιαία αγορά, τον κοινοτικό προϋπολογισμό, το κοινό νόμισμα. Όχι, ονειρευτήκαμε την Ευρώπη ως ένα Πρότζεκτ Ειρήνης με Δικαιοσύνη. Εκείνο το όνειρο χάθηκε, εξατμίστηκε, διαλύθηκε υπό το κρύο και […]

JD Vance, the US Vice President, told Europeans that their values are no longer America’s values. Pete Hegseth, the US Defence Secretary, added that Europeans “can’t make an assumption that America’s presence will last forever.” Keith Kellog, Trump’s special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, confirmed that Europe will not have a seat at the table […]

Εννέα κυβερνήσεις υπέγραψαν πριν λίγο, στη διπλανή αίθουσα, την Διακήρυξη της Ομάδας της Χάγης με την οποία δεσμεύονται για κυρώσεις κατά του Ισραήλ έως ότου πάψει τη γενοκτονία, καταργήσει το Απαρτχάιντ και τηρήσει το Διεθνές Δίκαιο. Εκπροσωπώντας χώρες της Αφρικής, της Ασίας και της Λατινικής Αμερικής, αντιπροσωπεύουν τόσο την κοινή γνώμη του Παγκόσμιου Νότου όσο […]

Nine governments just signed the new Hague Group’s Declaration. Hailing from Africa, Asia and Latin America, they represent the collective voice of the Global South but also a majority of the peoples of the Global North whose governments have been so shamelessly complicit in our generation’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people. We salute these […]

Shortly after the Gaza ceasefire deal was signed, I had the pleasure of a conversation with Francesca Albanese, the UN Rapporteur on Palestine. The occasion was MeRA25’s National Convention (Jan 2025) where this video was screened. Enjoy our conversation and, in particular, Francesca’s inimitable capacity to talk like a dispassionate lawyer and, at once, a […]

DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) company, this week changed the global AI landscape, not to mention caused $1 trillion losses in the New York stock exchange and the NASDAC. In the process, it demonstrated the difference between cloud capital, which drives technofeudalism onward and upward, and AI-services, which were always a bubble waiting to […]

Hello everyone. This is a message on behalf of DiEM25, the paneuropean movement that came together in Berlin when it was still possible to dream of reversing the degeneration of the European Union into an austerity union that drags the peoples of Europe down into a quagmire of naked exploitation of People and Nature, rampant […]

Watching, on the one hand, the Israeli soldiers’ video confessions of their genocidal intent and acts and, on the other hand, the Palestinians’ livestreaming of their own deaths and devastation, it is ever so easy to throw one’s hands up in the air, to despair, to want to shut the cruelty out, to find solace […]

Trump wants to boost exports, bring back American jobs from overseas and reduce the trade deficit. To achieve this he needs a weaker dollar. Trump also wants a strong dollar and will not brook any challenges to its near monopoly of international payments. Can he possibly have both? Trump’s Problem No.1: His announced tariffs will […]
