1. 🇫🇷 FRANCE NEEDS ELECTIONS, NOT CHAOS

Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella are demanding immediate dissolution of the French parliament.

Macron’s approval rating has hit a six-year low, and he has yet another Prime Minister facing imminent collapse. Instead of letting voters decide, we’re getting more establishment-backed deals.

Bardella and Le Pen are right, France must dissolve parliament quickly in order to build a budget and keep the government functioning.Why endure months more of governmental paralysis when fresh elections could provide a real mandate?

The National Rally has consistently championed national sovereignty and policies that put French families first. Recent polling indicates snap elections would likely strengthen the National Rally.

The only question is whether dissolution will come quickly enough to keep the government afloat.

2. 🍃 ROMANIA PUSHES BACK ON GREEN IDEOLOGY

Romania is taking a new approach to energy policy, negotiating with the European Union to extend the operation of its coal-fired power plants beyond current phase-out timelines.

While EU leadership pushes aggressive decarbonization targets, Romania’s energy minister is engaging in discussions that actually consider economic realities and national energy independence. The Romanian government recognizes what many European leaders refuse to acknowledge: reliable energy infrastructure matters more than virtue signaling.

This pragmatic stance becomes even more important given the broader European energy landscape. The country is simultaneously investing in offshore gas projects like Neptun Deep, which could begin production in 2027 and reduce dependence on Russian energy, a strategic win for both Romania and European security.

Energy security isn’t just an economic issue—it’s a matter of national security. Romania understands this reality, even if EU climate activists don’t.

3. 🌐 SCARED TO SEARCH

A recently completed survey of 5,000 Europeans found that the Digital Markets Act has had devastating consequences for consumers.

Europeans surveyed reported a substantial decline in online map & search engine functions due to complications traceable to the DMA. This includes a 50% longer search-time compared with the pre-DMA duration, among other troubling findings.

Other top findings include:

• A majority of Europeans would like services to be restored to their pre-DMA state, with some consumers saying they would be willing to pay a premium to have them restored.
• Most Europeans’ online experience is worse today than before early 2024. Two-thirds feel they now have to search longer for relevant online content than pre-DMA.
• 42% of Europeans that travel at least once a month say that search results for flights and hotels are less helpful today than before the DMA.
• Majorities of Europeans, and over 70% in Southern Europe, would like to restore pre-DMA services. And they would even be willing to pay a premium to get them back.

Luckily, President Trump has continued to have the back of American Tech companies against this heavy-handed regulation, and may soon have most of Europe on his side as well with how poorly the regulation has been received.

🇪🇺 BRUSSELS BACKROOM DEALING

The European Union is once again demonstrating bureaucratic maneuvering, crafting an “internal safeguard measure” to ram through the massive EU-Mercosur trade deal despite legitimate concerns from member states.

Rather than addressing the French farmers’ objections to flooding European markets with inexpensive South American beef and poultry, Brussels has decided to work around the problem. The EU has split the agreement into separate trade and political sections, allowing the trade provisions to pass with just a qualified majority while sidelining concerns about fair competition and food standards.

The deal with Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay will create what Brussels touts as the “world’s largest free-trade area.” European farmers are left to pay the price.

European farmers deserve better than political leaders putting their own elitist needs above those of the working class.
