United States of Europe

Sebastià Portell — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 06:45:35 +0000

It's not a new idea, but today it makes more sense than ever: has the time come for a United States of Europe? In a context of constant geopolitical friction, with the United States unleashed in its neocolonial offensive, a militarily weak Russia yet ready to undermine all the non-aggression pacts established at the end of the Cold War, and a China that is quietly growing and expanding both within and beyond its borders, the global context is complex, and I can think of few solutions more surprisingly feasible and appropriate today than this one.

Europe sets the limit for bottom trawling in the Mediterranean: 143 days a year

ARA Balears — Sat, 13 Dec 2025 10:23:03 +0000

The European Union's fisheries ministers finalized an agreement in the early hours of the morning on fishing opportunities for 2026 in EU waters of the Atlantic and on fishing days in the Mediterranean, which will ultimately be set at 143 days. The agreement concludes two intense days of negotiations among the member states. Spanish Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Luis Planas, celebrated the outcome, calling it a "clear success," especially considering that the European Commission's initial proposal offered only 9.7 days of annual fishing for the trawler fleet. "We have secured 143 days for our Mediterranean vessels," he stated in a message posted on social media.

I want a time change

Cristina Ros — Fri, 24 Oct 2025 17:18:55 +0000

I'll say it clearly: I want a time change. I say this with the calmness of someone who knows perfectly well that their opinion won't change anything, that no ordinary minister will be heading to Brussels for me to speak out, but I'm aware that, nevertheless, the sum of these small, useless declarations is precisely what gives joy to democratic life. We're here to debate everything, even what the EU will ultimately decide for us.

Militarization versus democracy

Ferran Navinés, Bernat Riutord i Josep Valero — Fri, 04 Jul 2025 17:50:43 +0000

It is evident that we are entering a spiral of militarization in crescendo A very dangerous approach that imposes itself on democratic debate, with disastrous effects for the populations suffering from war, whose opinions have not been directly asked, and the extension to other contexts and populations that, without being consulted, enter the area of militarization and war, as is now happening with Iran.
