Bart Nijman wrote that the stuck plastic cap, in his view, symbolized the emptiness of European innovation. He stated that large technology companies and innovations in transport, logistics, and energy were mostly located in the United States and China. Nijman criticized the EU bureaucracy in Brussels and wrote that, in his opinion, it imposed new rules on workers and entrepreneurs while European companies weakened due to a lack of innovation and high energy prices. He mentioned companies in the steel and defense sector and German, French, and Italian car manufacturers. In contrast to Europe, he highlighted a man in the United States who, according to him, made cars drive with rocket boosters and thereby set an acceleration record of 0 to 100 in less than a second. Nijman concluded with the question of whether Europe would emerge from its own malaise and referenced images from several French cities that day. #innovatie #EU #technologie (translated)

Lucian Mîndruță questioned the value of the strategic partnership with the USA, arguing that MAGA leaders chose to get closer to Russia while commercial vessels were being hit in Romanian territorial waters without a response from allies. He said he feared that Romania could also be abandoned in turn. Mîndruță stated that getting close to the Trump family would have been a way to stay close to Russia without it being obvious. He described it as a form of indirect submission and argued that the Romanian state system aimed to preserve itself, regardless of whom it had to submit to. In his opinion, what ensured the endurance of a country was its moral fiber, not just military capability. #politică #diplomație #relatiiInternaționale (translated)

Actu Foot reported that José Mourinho denounced a lack of respect towards Real Madrid and criticized Spanish authorities. He deemed it inconsistent that his team would play in Athens on a Wednesday night, likely return to Madrid around 5 a.m., and then face Valencia on Saturday, just before a week of international matches. With 25 years in football, he said he did not believe the explanations related to television scheduling and felt that the situation did not appear innocent. He also criticized the fact that Vinicius learned two hours before a match that he was suspended for four games, adding that he would do his best to alert the public. Actu Foot also stated that Mourinho suspected a conspiracy in Spain against his club. #JoséMourinho #RealMadrid #Football (translated)

He thanked Elon Musk. #Vérité #Économie #France (translated)
