We think that this solutions-based series can do something positive for the world. That is, if we can raise the funds to make it. Can you help us out?

🇳🇱 govt. wants to strip antisemitic rioters of citizenship. This is a dreadful idea Citizenship is an absolute right, which politicians should not have power to take away If you have a Dutch passport, then you’re Dutch - even if you kill the King and use his head as a hat stand.

Georgia: On top of the electoral integrity violations reported by observers, the widespread tampering in favour of the government is visible also in the detailed official results counts. Europe Elects was independently able to reproduce the markings of fraud. #gevote2024

Green parties in Europe are calling for Jill Stein to withdraw. The race for the White House is too close for comfort. We call on her to withdraw from the race & endorse Kamala Harris for President of the United States. Read the full statement here ⬇️ https://t.co/Rbk6Znwg3F

This week, we're joined by @AnnaGvarishvili in Tbilisi, diving into the latest on Georgia’s contested election and the pro-Russian ruling party’s grip on power. Though Georgia faces an uncertain future, we'll be sure to keep covering its European journey.

I served as US Ambassador in Hungary during Viktor Orbán’s crackdown on freedom of the press. But the independence of the Hungarian press was only truly extinguished when news outlets began “self-censorship” to avoid political reprisal. Democracy dies in darkness.

I was trying to think of something sparky to say about this but it’s just very sad. My generation came of age in a Europe where most of us could travel freely, live and work where we wanted. That expansive idea of Europe is fading now. Our children’s lives will be very different.
The Netherlands is planning to reinstate border checks from the end of November as part of a deal to impose the "strictest asylum policy ever." The cabinet will also scrap permanent residency status and require asylum seekers to reapply every three years.

Thank you @dwnews @dw_europe @KateLaycock for having us on Inside Europe! We had a lot of fun discussing The Europeans' origin story, what being European means to us, and that time Katy tried to make Dominic sing in front of a full European Parliament. https://t.co/6jUCU8B0D2

“High speed” trains running at 80 km/hour. Direct services from Amsterdam to London now impossible. And Eurostar in the Netherlands at risk of being scrapped altogether A national embarrassment Instead of obsessing over Schiphol maybe we could fix this? https://t.co/kqxaOIbLec

Could it really be that the dutch government meant the opposite of what they publicly told the EU because no-one proofread the letter? Are they actually that incompetent?
This is so clumsily worded that I have to wonder if it was checked by someone with an adequate grasp of English before sending. Did she mean to write "by means of treaty amendment"? That's a very different thing and it matters, because this is an official letter from a minister.

Just your standard array of topics up for discussion on The Europeans this week: Mussolini, the Schengen Zone, testicles
We've got a rollercoaster of an episode for you today. We start with a political decision by Mussolini's granddaughter in 🇮🇹, we then move onto discussing 🇩🇪's border crackdown and then move onto the main course: testicles 🍒. https://t.co/3LCV3vOLkQ
