☢️Germany does not have the right to possess its own nuclear weapons, and this will not change even under the new government of the country, stated CDU leader and likely future Chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Merz, in an interview with the radio station Deutschlandfunk.

🔽The Greens’ freefall in the EU explained

Rising public concerns over inflation, energy costs, and migration have overshadowed the once-popular green agenda, leading to a decline in support for Green parties across Europe.

🔴In the 2024 European Parliament elections, the Greens lost support in most EU countries where they govern, dropping 8.6% in Germany, 7.97% in France, 7.15% in Luxembourg, 6.01% in Ireland, 4.7% in Finland, 3% in Austria, and 1.25% in Belgium compared to 2019.

🔴In Germany’s recent elections, the Greens fell to 11.61% (down from 14.8% in 2021) and lost their place in the CDU-SPD coalition. Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock is set to step down and reportedly won’t lead the Green Party’s parliamentary group.

It’s not just the public losing interest in climate policies—EU leaders are also shifting priorities.

1️⃣The EU leadership acknowledges the bloc is falling behind in production growth, with energy prices far higher than in competing regions, as noted in the 2025 Competitiveness Compass report.

2️⃣Former ECB President Mario Draghi called for a shift in focus toward economic competitiveness while still pursuing decarbonization objectives.

3️⃣Despite the European Green Deal being central to Ursula von der Leyen’s first term, she is now focusing more on industry and business. On March 3, she proposed amending the CO2 emissions standards for the automotive industry, shifting the review cycle from annually to every three years.

4️⃣Friedrich Merz, Germany's likely candidate for chancellor, largely avoided climate issues during his campaign. He stated he would govern for the sane majority and “not for any green and left-wing nutcases.”

5️⃣Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has repeatedly lambasted the “IDEOLOGICAL MADNESS” of the green transition, warning it could lead to Europe's deindustrialization.

Ukrainians continue to surrender in Kursk.

🇺🇦🇸🇦 Zelensky arrived in Saudi Arabia.

He will meet with Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Looks like he wants to participate at the USA-Ukraine talks, but the US does not want him there, for the first round.

Will see if he just pops in or not.
