Europe's platitudes in the face of Donald Trump's racist and anti-democratic rhetoric about Europe are worrying. Is this complacency, or a political unwillingness to confront our neighbour from the other side of the Atlantic?

Asylum applications in the EU+ countries continued to decrease in 2025, continuing a downward trend from 2024. A changing political situation in Syria as well as more restrictive policies in the EU contributed to the fall in numbers, but a persisting displacement crisis in Sudan, instability in the Sahel, and a lack of economic perspectives for young populations in South Asian countries have meant that large numbers of people continue to flee, including to the EU. read more

The CSU (Christian Social Union) party in Bavaria, which is closely tied to the Christian Democrats — the single biggest party in the coalition government — has published a draft resolution ahead of an upcoming meeting of its parliamentary group, calling for a further tightening of Germany’s migration policy, including a return of most Syrian refugees. However, many of the demands would face significant practical hurdles in being set in motion. read more
