Meloni condemns Trump’s ‘begged for a photo’ claim at G7

Italian PM Giorgia Meloni rejected Donald Trump’s claim that she begged him for a photo at the G7, calling the remarks “completely made up.” Meloni said she and Italy never beg allies, and her foreign minister canceled a planned US trip in response. The clash adds to tense transatlantic dynamics as EU leaders convene on other topics like defence spending and offshore return hubs; coverage also notes reactions from Meloni allies and ongoing EU summit discussions.

Swiss voters reject bid to cap population at 10 million

Swiss voters rejected the far-right SVP’s plan to cap the population at 10 million by 2050 (54.79% against, 45.21% in favour) with a 58.86% turnout. The proposal would have forced limits on family reunification and residency and risked withdrawal from the EU free-movement agreement if the cap was approached, prompting warnings from the government and business groups about harm to the economy and EU ties.

Swiss voters reject plan to cap population at 10 million by 2050

Swiss voters rejected a right-wing proposal to cap the population at 10 million by 2050, with about 54% voting against and 59% turnout, in 25 of 26 cantons reporting. The result preserves Switzerland’s bilateral path with the EU and keeps immigration concerns on the political agenda, avoiding a potential clash over free movement as the population nears 10 million.

Switzerland Faces Narrow Verdict on 10 Million Population Cap

Switzerland Faces Narrow Verdict on 10 Million Population Cap

Swiss voters will decide on a right-wing initiative to cap population growth at 10 million by 2050. Polls point to a narrow rejection; supporters say it would ease housing, public services and environmental strain, while opponents warn it would damage the economy and jeopardise EU ties by ending free movement if the cap is reached. The measure could trigger limits on asylum and family reunification if the population nears 9.5 million, and at 10 million could threaten major EU trade agreements, with critics warning it could hurt exports and worsen labor shortages across sectors reliant on foreign workers.

Hungary starts a new era as Péter Magyar takes office, ending the Orbán era

Pro‑European reformist Péter Magyar was sworn in as Hungary’s prime minister, marking the end of Viktor Orbán’s 16‑year rule after a landslide victory for Magyar’s Tisza party. He vows to roll back Orbán‑era systems, suspend state media broadcasts, and rebuild Hungary’s ties with the EU to unlock billions in frozen funds, while overseeing a parliament with a historic share of women and new leadership that signals a shift in Hungary’s political landscape.

Hungary's new PM faces voter push for climate action and LGBTQ+ rights, poll finds

A post-election poll shows Hungary’s voters, including many who backed Péter Magyar, want ambitious climate action (77%) and protections for LGBTQ+ rights (71%), signaling a more progressive lean despite Magyar’s conservative background and Fidesz media influence. They also expect closer EU ties and access to frozen recovery funds (79% and 73%), while opinions on Ukraine aid and continued Russian energy imports remain mixed, and Orbán loyalists still loom in state institutions.

Hungary’s new era begins as Peter Magyar trounces Orban in a landslide

Peter Magyar, a former Orban loyalist, led the center-right Tisza Party to a landslide victory, winning 138 of 199 seats (53.6%) and ending Viktor Orban’s 16-year rule; the 45-year-old politician—whose career includes government roles and a controversial 2024 scandal involving his ex-wife—promises to revive Hungary’s economy, cut Russian energy dependence by 2035, improve EU relations, and take a cautious stance on Ukraine’s EU accession.

Hungary’s Opposition Ousts Orbán, Stakes High for EU Ties

Hungary’s Opposition Ousts Orbán, Stakes High for EU Ties

Hungary’s opposition Tisza party, led by Péter Magyar, won a parliamentary majority (projected 138 of 199 seats), ending Viktor Orbán’s 16-year rule and giving the new government power to amend the constitution and reverse key policies. Orbán conceded after a high-turnout vote, while Magyar pledged to repair ties with the EU, fight corruption, and invest in public services. Analysts warned reform will be gradual given Fidesz’s long control of state institutions. The result elicited swift reaction from EU leaders and could reshape Hungary’s stance toward the EU and Kyiv, signaling a potential turning point for Europe’s populist dynamics.

Hungary votes in high-stakes bid to end Orbán era

Hungary is voting in a tightly watched parliamentary election that could end Viktor Orbán’s 16-year rule, led by Péter Magyar of the Tisza party who casts the ballot as a choice between East and West; turnout is surging and polls are mixed, with broad support for EU membership despite years of Brussels-bashing. The result could reshape Hungary’s stance toward the EU and Ukraine, with early results expected after polls close and overseas ballots later in the week.
