Tomorrow and after a Council of Europe … that will not care about the “Recovery Fund” or the EU budget

Today and tomorrow the Council of the European Union will be held, the third organ of the Union's trimurti and which brings together the individual states

Do you think he will talk about the Recovery Fund? Aid to companies? Of the misery brought by COVI-19? ABSOLUTELY NOT. Also because on the Recovery Fund and on the EU budget there is no agreement neither with the European parliament nor with the national parliaments. In the end, the Council will be of normal administration, apart from a self-congratulatory point on Covid-19, because the Union has almost no say in the rest.

The themes are as follows:

  • the situation of the Covid-19 pandemic in Europe and the work underway in the EU for its containment and distribution of a vaccine;
  • relations between the EU and the United Kingdom, with reference to the state of implementation of the Withdrawal Agreement and the negotiations on the future partnership between the EU and the United Kingdom;
  • climate change, in particular progress towards the EU's climate neutrality goal by 2050;
  • external relations, in particular relations between the EU and Africa and any other specific EU foreign policy issues

The first point is simply self-congratulatory: they will tell each other how good they were at stopping covid-19, how much they invested in research, how they managed to stop the infection…. which is destroying Europe. They won't decide anything serious. On the second point, the knife is in the hands of the United Kingdom, and the Union can mess around a bit, stamp its feet, but in the end Johnson will make the main decisions. And the union will only have to lick the wounds. Climate change will be the usual celebration of the "Ambitious goals" that will destroy many Italian industrial sectors and impoverish the pockets of citizens with taxes and levies. then some European foreign policy, which in the end does not exist.

However, if you want to hear a serious presentation of the event, I invite you to listen to this young deputy. We thank Inreverent
