Geert Wilders is the EU’s worst nightmare

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:49:44 GMT

THE HAGUE — One line in Geert Wilders’ inflammatory pitch to Dutch voters will haunt Brussels more than any other: a referendum on leaving the EU. Seven years after the British voted for Brexit, a so-called Nexit ballot was a core plank of the far-right leader’s ultimately successful offer in the Netherlands. And while Wilders softened his anti-Islam rhetoric in recent weeks, there are no signs he wants to water down his Euroskepticism after his shock election victory. Even if Dutch voters are not persuaded to follow the Brits out of the EU — polling suggests it’s unlikely — there’s every indication that a Wilders-led government in The Hague will still be a nightmare for Brussels.A seat for Wilders around the EU summit table would transform the dynamic, alongside other far-right and nationalist leaders already in post. Suddenly, policies ranging from climate action, to EU reform and even weapons for Ukraine will be up for debate, and even reversal. Since the ex...

Trump looms over EU-Canada summit

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:49:44 GMT

When the EU and Canada meet for talks this week, their encounter will be calm, pleasant and even, in the words of one EU diplomat, “just plain boring.” But both sides will be contending with a looming problem — Donald J. Trump.  The prospect of another Trump presidency in the U.S. is spooking both Brussels and Ottawa as leaders plan to meet in St. John’s, a remote Canadian harbor city symbolic of their bilateral relationship: historically rooted, pleasant and friendly.The U.S. is key to the economies of both sides. As the EU, especially, struggles to cope with the trade legacy of the previous Trump term, the unpredictability of another Trump presidency is sending shivers through Brussels. POLITICO spoke to several officials briefed on the summit who said next year’s U.S. elections will overshadow the talks. After the recent visit of EU leaders to the White House, the bloc’s relationship with the U.S. will be discussed with Canadian Prime Minister Jus...

It’s the moment of truth for EU fiscal reform

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:49:44 GMT

Mujtaba Rahmanis the head of Eurasia Group’s Europe practice. He tweets at @Mij_Europe. The moment of truth is almost upon us, as we will soon learn whether the European Union will be able to agree to a new, more sensible set of fiscal rules.  Doom and gloom have surrounded the prospect of a deal on this matter for some time, and Germany’s opposition to the European Commission’s proposed far-reaching changes has been the biggest reason for pessimism. It’s possible, however, that the tide may finally be turning. A two-day retreat between the French and German governments last month in Hamburg has been key in unleashing some of the positive momentum that can currently be found behind negotiations. Senior French and German officials said the bilateral between President Emmanuel Macron and Chancellor Olaf Scholz was a particularly “huge atmospheric success”  — which, given the current state of the two countries’ relationship, is important. According to...

David Cameron downplayed Chinese role in controversial $1.4B port project

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:49:44 GMT

LONDON — U.K. Foreign Secretary David Cameron will be grilled in parliament over new footage showing he sought to downplay China’s role in a controversial port development in Sri Lanka. The newly-unearthed video shows Cameron — who unexpectedly returned to the U.K. Cabinet last week — telling would-be-investors he wanted to correct “misapprehensions” about China’s role in the Port City Colombo scheme.POLITICO previously reported how on September 26 — less than two months before becoming U.K. foreign secretary — Cameron was paid thousands of pounds to fly to the UAE to drum up investment in the project, which critics say is part of a global power grab by Beijing and could one day become a permanent Chinese outpost. The opposition Labour Party said the case now raises serious questions for Cameron. Peers plan to grill him on the issue in the House of Lords next month.The extended video footage — uploaded to YouTube last month by the Sri Lankan channel Newsfirst — shows Cameron strivin...
