Slovenia’s Janša launches Trump-style pivot with pro‑US stance and Jerusalem embassy plan

Slovenia’s Prime Minister Janez Janša, in a fourth term after assembling a coalition, signals a Trump-style realignment: reversing the Golob government’s policies, pushing pro-business reforms, privatization moves in health and education, pension reform, downsizing government, and big-infrastructure bets including a second Krško reactor; he leans on stronger U.S. ties, backs Ukraine with more aid and Russia sanctions, and has promoted hardline anti-immigrant policies, drawing criticism as a potential threat to Slovenia’s sovereignty.

Musk vs. The Economist: he says the public hates the media more than him

Musk defended his influence in Europe and his pro-border, pro-spending stance, noting past endorsements like Germany’s AfD and citing Gallup data showing low trust in the media.

Hungary’s Szijjártó Moves to BYD, Spotlighting Europe-China Business Ties

Former Hungarian foreign minister Péter Szijjártó resigns from parliament to lead external relations and new business lines at BYD, as Prime Minister Péter Magyar attacks the move as lobbying for subsidies and foreign interests. The transfer underscores BYD’s European push, with Hungary slated to host a major production hub, and illustrates a broader trend of ex-politicians entering the automotive/tech sector in Europe (e.g., Christian Lindner’s upcoming role at Autoland AG).

Populist firebrands turn scandals into campaign fuel, echoing Trump playbook

Marine Le Pen, after being found guilty of embezzling EU funds and ordered to wear an ankle tag, and Nigel Farage, resigning as an MP amid scrutiny, have both embraced a Trump-style playbook—deny wrongdoing, blame the establishment, and frame themselves as champions of the people—to push their campaigns in France and the U.K. Analysts warn the tactic could energize their bases or backfire if opponents boycott elections or voters doubt the narrative, even as Le Pen shows a lead in some French polls.

Meloni vs Trump: Italy's delicate balancing act with Washington

Meloni publicly pushed back at Trump after a personal jab, a clash that tightens the spotlight on Italy’s fragile transatlantic ties as she campaigns for re-election. The dispute underscores Rome’s dependence on the U.S. security umbrella and trade links, while the Iran war and shifting U.S. politics tempt Meloni to rebalance toward Europe, even as the broader alliance remains central.

Germany backs centralized EU financial oversight, signaling CMU push

Germany has signaled a shift toward centralized EU financial supervision by backing Esma expansion, arguing a stronger, more coordinated EU capital markets is worth sacrificing some national control.

Slovenia ready for fourth term as Janša gains coalition backing for PM bid

Slovenia’s parliament is set to vote on Janez Janša’s bid to become prime minister, backed by enough coalition MPs to form a government, potentially giving Janša his fourth term after last March’s elections left a fragile majority; Janša is a nationalist and anti-immigration figure seen as an admirer of Trump, and his return could shift EU populist dynamics.

Hungary vows to arrest Netanyahu on ICC warrant if he enters

Hungary's prime minister-elect Péter Magyar said the country would detain Benjamin Netanyahu if he enters Hungarian soil while the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant for war crimes remains active, reversing the Orbán-era stance that protected Netanyahu by withdrawing from the ICC; Magyar also plans to halt Hungary's ICC withdrawal to preserve membership, arguing that ICC member states must detain those subject to warrants, though some allies cite immunities and other diplomatic considerations.

Orbán’s defeat reshapes Netanyahu’s European alliance

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s election loss undermines Israel’s closest European ally, a relationship that Netanyahu publicly endorsed and nurtured for years. The outcome could energize Israel’s opposition and signal that even entrenched illiberal leadership can be voted out, while Orbán’s approach of blocking EU condemnations of Israel shows alliances outside the bloc can shift as political tides change.
