EU Official Plotted To ‘Organise Resistance’ Against Hungary’s Orban

January 12, 2026 Kit Klarenberg, The Grayzone. , , , , ,
A senior European Union official has been secretly seeking to remove Hungarian President Viktor Orban since at least 2019, according to leaked documents reviewed by The Grayzone. The files show in January 2019, the EU’s International Coordinator for the Directorate-General for Migration and Home Affairs, Marton Benedek, authored a “project proposal” aimed at “developing a permanent coordination forum to organise resistance against the Orban regime.” In addition to his role at the European border control agency, Benedek currently heads Brussels’ “cooperation” with Libya.

EU Bankrolls Israeli Arms Makers Via Civilian Research Programs

January 7, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
The EU has diverted millions in funding meant for civilian research programs over to Israeli arms manufacturers, according to public data cited by Middle East Eye (MEE).  The data shows that Israeli firms crucial to Tel Aviv’s military industry have repeatedly taken part in EU-supported research, including as part of the Horizon Europe and Horizon 2020 programs. Horizon Europe is a major EU research and innovation funding program that builds on its predecessor Horizon 2020. Both aim to boost science and address issues such as climate change.

Europe Rallies For Venezuela As Governments Fail To Denounce Attacks

January 5, 2026 People's Dispatch. , , ,
Demonstrations have taken place across Europe since the United States bombed Venezuela and abducted President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores on January 3, as people across the region mobilize in defense of sovereignty and international law. European leaders, meanwhile, once again failed to even minimally echo such demands. EU officials including Kaja Kallas, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and several other heads of government more or less explicitly supported the US assault on Caracas, which killed dozens.

What Goes Around: The EU’s Extralegal Sanctions Regime

January 2, 2026 Pascal Lottaz, Substack. , , ,
It has come as a shock to many of us in the alternative media sphere when, on December 15, the EU put the esteemed analyst, political commentator, and former Swiss Army colonel Jacques Baud, on its Russia-Sanctions list. He was one of several newly sanctioned individuals (alongside, for instance, the popular French journalist, Xavier Moreau). Baud is already the second Swiss to be sanctioned. In June 2025, the EU announced that Nathalie Yamb, a Swiss-Cameroonian activist against neocolonialism, would be sanctioned. Being on the EU sanctions list is a devastating event for the people concerned, especially if they reside in an EU country or a closely associated state like Switzerland, Norway, or the UK.

Farmers Mobilise At Liège Airport Against The EU-Mercosur Agreement

December 18, 2025 La Via Campesina. , , , ,
Farmers’ organisations from the European Milk Board (EMB) and European Coordination Via Campesina (ECVC) descended on Liège Airport together with civil society this Wednesday 17 December to express their anger at EU policies that jeopardize European agriculture. Farmers from Mig, AbL, FUGEA, Boerenforum, and La Confédération Paysanne gathered at this key hub for international trade with a common message that firmly rejects the EU-Mercosur treaty and calls for a strong CAP with a strong budget to guarantee farmers a decent income.

Pro-Trump Heartland Institute’s European Network

December 10, 2025 Adam Barnett, DeSmog. , , ,
A year ago, as the world convulsed from Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election, his allies were already identifying their next frontier. In December, the Heartland Institute hosted a private event in Mayfair, one of London’s wealthiest areas, to announce the launch of its new UK-Europe branch. The launch was attended by former Conservative prime minister Liz Truss and current shadow trade and business secretary Andrew Griffith, with Reform UK leader Nigel Farage as the star speaker. The Heartland Institute is proudly one of the world’s foremost climate science denial groups, with extensive ties to the Trump administration. It contributed to Project 2025 – the blueprint for Trump’s second term, drafted by the Heritage Foundation.

Europe In Panic Over US Strategy For Stability With Russia

December 9, 2025 Alastair Crooke, Consortium News. , , , ,
A National Security Strategy (NSS) is produced periodically by U.S. administrations (President Donald Trump authored one during his first term). Mostly these documents lay out an idealised version of an administration’s foreign and security policy, and do not have great practical import — because of what is left out — i.e. entrenched U.S. political and economic interests; the deep foreign policy consensus overseen by the curator class of the deep security state; and the policies espoused by the mega donor collective. Nonetheless, this recently-released NSS reads rather differently by putting a distinctive “America First” gloss to U.S. foreign policy

Kremlin Slams NATO Call For Pre-Emptive Attack On Russia

December 2, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
Moscow condemned on 1 December comments made by NATO's most senior military officer, threatening that Brussels might conduct a possible “pre-emptive strike” against Russia. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova called the remarks “an extremely irresponsible step, indicating the alliance's readiness to continue moving towards escalation.” “We see in it a deliberate attempt to undermine efforts to overcome the Ukrainian crisis,” Zakharova said. “The people making such statements should be aware of the risks and possible consequences, including for the alliance members themselves.”

The Neocon-Realist War Over Ukraine

November 29, 2025 Ray McGovern, Consortium News. , , , , , ,
Donald Trump made some revealing remarks to the media as he flew to Florida for Thanksgiving on Wednesday. Asked if he thought Ukraine is being asked to give too much land to Russia in his proposal to end the war, Trump responded: “It’s clearly up to the Russians. It’s moving in one direction. … That’s land that over the next couple of months might be gotten by Russia anyway. So, do you want to fight and loose another 50,000 or 60,000 people? Or do something now? They are negotiating; they are trying to get it done.” That’s the same realistic approach Trump’s new special envoy to Ukraine, U.S. Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll, took with the Ukrainians and Europe’s so-called “coalition of the willing” during a visit to Kiev earlier this week.

European Politicians Urge US To Stop Threatening Venezuela

November 23, 2025 Ultimate Noticias, Orinoco Tribune. , , , ,
Parliamentarians and political leaders from across Europe called on the United States to cease its threats against Venezuela and demanded the withdrawal of US troops stationed in the Caribbean. “The prelude to the invasion is already underway. A US naval armada—at least eight warships, strategic bombers, fighter jets, and 10,000 troops—is now patrolling the Caribbean,” 62 European political leaders wrote in a statement issued on Friday, November 21. Among the US warships deployed off the Venezuelan coast is the aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford, the most advanced aircraft carrier in the US fleet, which was used against Yemen during the latest Zionist genocide in Gaza.

The Consequences Of Imperialist Arrogance

November 17, 2025 Stephen Sefton, Tortilla con Sal. , , , , , ,
In almost all the tragedies of ancient Greek theater, the protagonist has committed a fatal moral offense which leads them to a deadly outcome, almost always facilitated by their overweening arrogance. In the case of the progressive collapse of the collective West, one is dealing with five centuries of countless crimes of genocidal conquest and slavery. But their hateful culture of arrogance does not allow Western leaders to admit that they owe the wealth and political-military power of their countries to this genocidal criminality. This arrogance in the face of the collective West’s decline gets expressed in diplomatic bad faith and unilateral aggression, exacerbating the lack of cooperation and trust that characterizes the current international crisis.

Europe Is Regulating AI Hiring; Why Isn’t The United States?

November 15, 2025 Ryan Zhang, On Labor. , , ,
In 2018, Amazon unveiled a groundbreaking AI hiring tool. But what began as a promise to revolutionize how the company identified talent devolved into an algorithm that “did not like women.” The model, trained on a decade of old resumes mostly from men, penalized references to women’s organizations and graduates of women’s colleges. Although Amazon abandoned the tool, the incident revealed a more fundamental problem: In automating hiring, employers are also automating bias. Today, AI plays a major role in hiring, yet the U.S. has failed to establish coherent guardrails even as jurisdictions like the European Union have acted decisively.

CELAC-EU Declaration Plagued By Objections From US Allies

November 11, 2025 Orinoco Tribune. , , , ,
On Sunday, the Fourth Summit between the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) and the European Union (EU) issued a joint declaration. The 52-paragraph document was signed by 32 of the 33 CELAC countries. Venezuela was the only country that decided not to sign it. At the end of the document, seven countries—Argentina, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Panama, Paraguay, and Trinidad and Tobago—presented formal objections to critical paragraphs. They distanced themselves from positions reaffirming the region as a Zone of Peace, condemning the genocide in Gaza, and demanding an end to the economic blockade against Cuba, among others. The declaration also includes paragraph number 14 regarding the Ukrainian conflict, which appears to respond more to the interests of the European Union than to those of the Latin American countries. It was not questioned by any of the signatories.

EU Movement Strengthens Call To Boycott Israeli Pharmaceutical Company

November 8, 2025 Ana Vracar, People's Dispatch. , , ,
Israeli pharmaceutical giant Teva is facing mounting pressure from Palestine solidarity groups across Europe. One of Israel’s largest drugs manufacturers and a major global producer of generic medicines, Teva has actively supported the genocide in the Gaza Strip since October 2023 and contributed to the erosion of Palestinian healthcare long before that, Giorgia Gusciglio, Europe Coordinator for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Campaigns at the Palestinian BDS National Committee, told People’s Health Dispatch.

Leaks Expose Collapse Of EU/US-Backed Belarusian ‘Opposition’

November 3, 2025 Kit Klarenberg, The Grayzone. , , , , , ,
When Belarusian opposition figure Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya declared herself “President” of an alternative government in 2020, she was enthusiastically embraced – and showered with funding – by the Western governments which yearned to depose the longtime leader of her country, Alexander Lukashenko, and remove Russia’s closest regional ally from the geopolitical chessboard. The New York Times set the tone by lionizing Tsikhanouskaya as a modern-day Joan of Arc. However, a wave of public scandals have prompted Tsikhanouskaya’s foreign sponsors to gradually abandon her unpopular crusade to topple the government of Lukashenko. In August, it was revealed she had secretly taken thousands of euros from Minsk’s KGB in August 2020, a payoff for publicly pleading with protesters to stop their action in the streets, before she fled the country.
