EU busts the Orbán myth with historic decision on Ukraine accession 

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:47:13 GMT

Viktor Orbán both relented unexpectedly and refused to budge on Day One of the European Council summit.EU leaders on Thursday agreed to open accession talks with Kyiv, taking a definitive step toward Ukraine’s integration into the European project by bypassing Moscow’s closest ally in the bloc: the Hungarian prime minister.But they failed to agree on a €50 billion aid package for Ukraine and on a renegotiation of the shared EU budget. That decision was postponed to an extraordinary leaders’ meeting in January, European Council President Charles Michel told reporters at the end of the first day of the summit. “Two concessions in one summit was too much to sell back home in Hungary,” said one official briefed on the negotiations. Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte told reporters early Friday morning he was optimistic a budget deal could be reached in January. The decision on enlargement, to open talks with Ukraine and Moldova, was key. So important that Michel took the un...

Migration is derailing leaders from Biden to Macron. Who’s next?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:47:13 GMT

BRUSSELS — Western leaders are grappling with how to handle two era-defining wars in the Middle East and in Ukraine. But there’s another issue, one far closer to home, that’s derailing governments in Europe and America: migration. In recent days, U.S. President Joe Biden, his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron, and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak all hit trouble amid intense domestic pressure to tackle immigration; all three emerged weakened as a result. The stakes are high as American, British and European voters head to the polls in 2024. “There is a temptation to hunt for quick fixes,” said Rashmin Sagoo, director of the international law program at the Chatham House think tank in London. “But irregular migration is a hugely challenging issue. And solving it requires long-term policy thinking beyond national boundaries.”With election campaigning already under way, long-term plans may be hard to find. Far-right, anti-migrant populists promising sharp answers are...
