The EU at 30: Looking forward and back

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:18:30 GMT

Dermot Hodson is author of “Circle of Stars: A History of the EU and the People Who Made It,” published by Yale University Press.The European Union turns 30 today.The Maastricht Treaty, which entered into force on November 1, 1993, envisioned nothing less than “a new stage in the process of European integration,” which would help end “the division of the European continent.” For all its faults, the EU has honored these aspirations, admitting 16 new members over the last three decades and fostering a spirit of cooperation that no other international organization has matched.But for all its achievements, the EU still struggles to defend the ideals of unity, solidarity and harmony symbolized by the circle of stars on its flag.Today, the mood in Brussels is somber, just as it was in 1993, when the EU was established on the edifice of the older European Community. Then, as now, the bloc faced sluggish economic growth, a political agenda partly shaped by right-wing populists, and bloody ...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:18:30 GMT

BRUSSELS — Egypt’s envoy to Brussels slammed the West’s stance on the Israel-Hamas war, accusing it of having a pro-Israel bias that he says is damaging its reputation in the Middle East.In an interview in his Brussels residence, Cairo’s top diplomat in the EU capital, Badr Abdelatty, also stressed his country will not accept Palestinian refugees fleeing from Gaza.“We will not allow the liquidation of the Palestinian cause and to have another Nakba [or “catastrophe” in Arabic, referring to the mass uprooting of Palestinians in the war over Israel’s creation in 1948] at the expense of the neighboring countries, whether it’s Jordan or Egypt,” Abdelatty told POLITICO.After Hamas killed more than 1,400 people on October 7, Israel launched airstrikes and, recently, ground operations across Gaza, killing more than 8,500 people, including thousands of children, according to the Hamas-run Ministry of Health.

From WWE wrestling to global AI summit: The unlikely rise of Michelle Donelan

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:18:30 GMT

LONDON — Britain’s tech chief is no stranger to dealing with big egos. She used to promote superstar wrestlers.U.K. Science and Technology Secretary Michelle Donelan’s past career as a marketeer for WWE wrestling may stand her in good stead at Bletchley Park on Wednesday, as she hosts representatives from more than 100 tech companies, countries and academic institutions on the first day of a U.K.-hosted summit which aims to grapple with one of the biggest challenges of our time — the rise of artificial intelligence. Working at the fast-paced WWE was “very much like” being at her busy Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), Donelan tells POLITICO — somewhat improbably — in an eve-of-summit interview at her sparsely-decorated office on Whitehall.The oddball world of commercial wrestling was also good training for politics. “It was an eye-opener to different personalities, and how to deal with those different personalities,” she says — ideal for “deal...

Ravens stand pat at NFL trade deadline: ‘We have an excellent roster’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:18:30 GMT

The Ravens are standing pat.The NFL trade deadline came and went Tuesday without Baltimore making a move. Coach John Harbaugh said the day before that he thinks the team has everything it needs in terms of players to be successful, and the lack of adding to the roster seems to indicate general manager Eric DeCosta feels the same.DeCosta, who typically does not speak to the media during the season, was unavailable for comment.“Do we have a specific overarching have-to-have guy? No,” Harbaugh said Monday. “We have an excellent roster.”Though the NFL trade deadline doesn’t produce the same flurry of activity that is seen in other sports such as the NBA and MLB, there were deals to be made.The San Francisco 49ers strengthened their already elite defense by reportedly trading a 2024 third-round pick for Commanders star defensive end Chase Young. Washington also unloaded their other defensive end, Montez Sweat, to the Chicago Bears for a second-round draft pi...

Depeche Mode goes big at TD Garden

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:18:30 GMT

Depeche Mode stood in front of a 40-foot, ultra-high def video screen with a 35-foot, twitching neon “M” at its center. Lights strobed, lasers beamed, images flashed on the screen with impossible brightness. None of it distracted from David Gahan.DM frontman Gahan captured everyone’s attention at the packed TD Garden on Tuesday. The singer, in perfect impassioned and overwrought voice, moved around the stage like a flamenco dancer, a ballerina, a stripper, a devilish imp, and a kindly guide across the void and into a throbbing discotheque.The band’s first Boston concert in more than half a decade had the makings of a goth prom  — Depeche Mode on Halloween, c’mon, sublime! But Depeche Mode’s art is both too monolithic and personal, too absolutely connected to the broken parts of the world, the broken parts in us, to have even a whiff of kitsch.Gahan and Martin Gore started the show by chanting to the crowd, to the world, into that void: “No rain, no clouds, no pain, no shrouds, no fi...
