Along with my colleagues @francesca-b.bsky.social and Adrian Burtin, we had some interesting conversations lately with prominent European experts on young voters' political behaviour. Their findings were sometimes suprising.

Very grateful to @avalaina.bsky.social and the CCL for trusting me with this powerful text. Publishing it alongside our partners and continuing to amplify the voices of Ukrainians is a tiny contribution to their struggle, but it's the least we can do.
See you tomorrow! A special conversation for a special anniversary.

🇺🇦 💪 This Sunday, Brussels' Ukrainian community and its friends were honouring the fourth anniversary of Ukraine's resistance to the Russian full-scale invasion. "Victory in #Ukraine, Peace in #Europe!"
Oh now I see why the French call soaked coffee "jus de chaussette".
An enlighting conversation between two great thinkers – and a no less brilliant matchmaker – touching upon the major issues of our times:

The 33rd @eurozine.bsky.social conference gave the opportunity to get to know these twin cities born out of a line drawn by the Allies on a map after WW2. They lived parallel lives until just a few years ago. Things have now changed, but some borders remain in the people's minds.

Worth reading. The nice photo is Your Truly's.
🇬🇪Georgian Dream is Europe’s most un-democratic and human rights-violating force currently in power.

🏴: 'Migrants steal our jobs'
🇪🇸 Left govt. grants legal status to 500K irregular migrants: 'Economic growth drives the labour market. A large part of this acceleration is due to migration: foreign workers accounted for 43% of the 605K jobs created in #Spain in 2025.'

Georgian Dream has announced new amendments to the Russian-style laws on foreign grants and so-called “foreign agents.” What they’ve presented goes beyond legal absurdity, so I’m trying to fully understand it before reporting in detail. But it doesn’t look good at all.
🇬🇪 #Georgia's pro-Russia govt. goes deeper into its role model:
A journey into one of the many suburbs of "soo romantic Paris" that people – including Parisians and sometimes the very people who live there – never get to know, by my great colleague Francesca.
#Belarus Prominent journalist, poet and political prisoner Andrei Aliaksandrau marks his 6th birthday behind bars. Outrageously unfair - he was sentenced to 14 years just for being a journalist. Free press and free speech are what Lukashenka truly fears.
