EU conservatives vote with far right to approve cuts to green rules The outcome highlights the EPP’s willingness to abandon its traditional centrist coalition allies.

A vote against the environment today, maybe a vote against civil rights tomorrow, and then what? Do conservatives know they’re taking us on the very same path that brought fascists and Nazis to power?

Italy’s colonial amnesia Ninety years after its invasion of Ethiopia, Italy continues to honour the perpetrators of crimes it should instead confront

On Oct. 3, 1935, Italian troops invaded Ethiopia. Just a few days before this anniversary, the Italian Parliament even reinstated Oct. 4 as a national holiday in honour of Saint Francis, while near-total amnesia persists over the country’s colonial past.

The #WPPh2025 Photo of the Year is ‘Mahmoud Ajjour, Aged Nine’ by Samar Abu Elouf, for @nytimes.com. The jury was moved by this portrait of a Palestinian boy which speaks to the devastating long-term costs of war on civilians. worldpressphoto.org/collection/photo-contest/2025/Samar-Abu-Elouf/1

Remembrance or revisionism? By omitting the context of Italian war crimes, the Giorno del Ricordo commemoration fuels a revisionist narrative that downplays Italy’s fascist past

Today marks 20 years since Italy first commemorated the Giorno del Ricordo, honouring the victims of the #foibe killings. Yet by omitting the context of Italian crimes in Yugoslavia, the event fuels a revisionist narrative that downplays Italy’s fascist past. My take for @fesonline.bsky.social’s IPS
