Europapolitik im Wohnzimmer. Auf Einladung von Peter Altmaier kamen Brüssel-Alumni und Persönlichkeiten aus der Europapolitik zusammen. Bei Kürbissuppe und Sekt ging es um EU-Erweiterung, Demokratie und Parteienlandschaft. Dazu gab es persönliche Einblicke in Altmaiers Regierungsarbeit.

With Israel going to the polls this Tuesday, I can't imagine the news cycle out of Brazil and Serbia is particularly cheering for one Binyamin Netanyahu.

😮 Orbán as UN SecGen? “The State Department official counted eight Security Council votes “comfortably” for Mr. Orbán, and 10 within reach from the 15 council members. Would Britain and France then stand in the majority’s way? Those two are typically cautious in their use of the veto power.”

The timeline from “Trump International approved in Belgrade” to “Serbian govt faces protests” to “strongman loses election” suggests Trump/Kushner et al may face some reluctance towards future investments www.bbc.com/news/article...

bbc.comSerbia's veteran ruler Vučić concedes election to student-led protest movementThe populist right-wing leader of 12 years says it is "clear" his party has lost the vote billed as a referendum on the country's future.

Serbia snap parliamentary elections: Vučić just conceded defeat on a TV broadcast. In his words, only the Student Ticket and his list will enter the new parliament, aside from minority parties.

Vucic has announced defeat

We’ll see what transpires but one thing important to note: in Belgrade, in front of the electoral commission, and around parliament, broadcaster RTS and other places nearby in the centre, a significant police presence has been put in place - along with a suspiciously large number of masked hooligans

🇵🇱 Polish range of answers to "How are you?" ("Fine, thanks, how are you?" is not an option) - somehow it's flying (jakoś leci) - dickish but stable (chujowo ale stabilnie) - old poverty (stara bieda) - could be worse (mogło być gorzej, peak expression of Polish happiness)

The great Oleksandra Matviichuk is absolutely right to draw attention to the horrible humanitarian crisis in Oleshky. All Putin, Witkoff, and Kushner can do is invert and traduce the meaning of “humanitarianism,” in the best traditions of Russian propaganda.

Oleksandra Matviichuk@avalaina.bsky.social

I have read dozens of outraged posts because the US special envoy Witkoff called Putin a "humanist." But no one is writing about the fact that the American negotiators are simply not doing their job. Let me explain.

🇪🇺 Demokratie ist kompliziert. Und sie muss es sein. Unterschiedliche Interessen zusammenzubringen und Konsens herzustellen braucht Arbeit, Mut und Empathie. Im Ausschnitt unseres EBD-Dokumentationsfilms erklärt #EBDGenSek @huettemann.eu, warum die #EBD diese Arbeit nicht scheut. #EUSky

When Ukraine does not stop fighting Russia then Trump will turn around and blame Europeans and Canadians for supposedly sabotaging his party's chances of winning the mid-terms. The word of the US government is not worth a bowl of spit for the foreseeable future

Alexander Clarkson@aphclarkson.bsky.social

I doubt Starlink limitations will severely hamper Ukraine's mid-strike campaign as planners in Kyiv have not trusted the US for a while. From an EU/UK angle I'd worry more about how unreliable US leaders could tamper with basic intel and air defence systems Europe and Canada use

"Switzerland plus" is even more autosuggestion then the other "passive EU membership"... Norway... cake having it eating #BrexitReality

Peter Stefanovic@peterstefanovic.bsky.social

The UK could re-enter the EU in a “Switzerland plus” package that could be negotiated within months of any decision to deepen ties with the bloc, the head of a European parliament committee has said www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Selenskyj positioniert sich nicht nur gegen Putin, sondern jetzt auch offensiv gegen Trump, mit hohem Risiko für sich und sein Land, den Rachedurst des amerikanischen Nero noch weiter anzuregen. Es wäre angebracht, wenn sich die europäische Politik auch dabei schützend vor ihn stellen würde.

Always an intellectually interesting task to participate in @carnegieendowment.org 'Taking the Pulse', this week on whether the EU has a 'France Problem'. My take is that the problem goes deeper. With far-right parties on the rise across Europe, we have entered a time of 'democratic mistrust'.

Nothing in the #EUCO conclusions on #EUenlargement and reforms indicates any shift in the approach to internal preparations for an enlarged Union. The rhetoric remains unchanged, with no commitments on further accessions – not even on #Montenegro newunionpost.eu/2026/10/16/e...

Currently, a diagram is making the rounds that is claimed to show a significant reduction in Russian disinformation bot activity after Ukrainian drones hit Yandex data centers. There is no evidence that this plot shows real data. I suspect that this image is AI-generated.

President Zelensky at #WSF2026: President Putin obviously doesn‘t read Truth Social. From the moment Trump announced the energy ceasefire (that was not discussed with Ukraine but would be very welcome) to this morning, Russia continued to target Ukrainian energy infrastructure.

Reading compelling posts from @samfr.bsky.social @robfordmancs.bsky.social & others about how a rejoin the EU pledge makes sense for Labour. I don’t disagree And politically this is fine, EU side But in terms of *how* to proceed, no one has a clue, EU side. No one has head space
