Swedish migration minister ‘shocked and horrified’ by teenage son’s far-right links
STOCKHOLM — Sweden’s Migration Minister Johan Forssell has said he is “shocked and horrified” after learning that his teenage son had been involved with violent far-right extremist groups, according to domestic media reports.The revelation comes after the Swedish security service, Säpo, contacted Forssell several weeks ago to alert him to the activities of his 16-year-old son.Forssell, a member of the centre-right Moderate Party who formerly served as foreign trade minister, is part of a governing coalition that relies on support from the far-right Sweden Democrats.The minister went public following an exposé by the anti-racism magazine Expo, which revealed that a “close relative of a Swedish minister” had ties to the extremist far-right.According to the magazine, the son is...

France's new Lady Liberty artwork goes viral
France's Lady Liberty artwork goes viral as a new Statue of Liberty could be in the works
PARIS — A mural titled "The Statue of Liberty's Silent Protest" - featuring Lady Liberty covering her face with her hands and her torch now lying on her chest – has been unveiled in France.The artwork by Dutch artist Judith de Leeuw reportedly took six days to complete. It is located on a building in the northern city of Roubaix, and was unveiled just in time for this year’s 4 July celebrations.No coincidence as to the timing, considering the artwork was designed to illustrate the shame felt by many regarding the Trump administration’s immigration policies and ICE detainments of American citizens.The French location is no fluke either, as de Leeuw stated that Roublaix was chosen due to its “large migrant population.”"The values that the statue once stood for...

Armenia and Azerbaijan move closer to peace, pushing Russia out from the South Caucasus
YEREVAN — Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev are meeting on Thursday in Abu Dhabi to discuss next steps in finalising the peace agreement, their offices confirmed.This is the first formal bilateral meeting between the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan since they agreed on the draft text of the peace agreement, following nearly four decades of conflict.The results of this meeting will ultimately shape the future of the South Caucasus not only because of what the two leaders agree upon, but also because of Russia being for the first time absent from the Armenia-Azerbaijan equation.Richard Giragosian, Founding Director of the Regional Studies Centre (RSC), an independent think tank in Yerevan, told Euronews, “with Russia overwhelmed by its...

Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, delivers her speech during a session at the European Parliament, Wednesday, Jan. 22, 2025
Von der Leyen's EU Commission survives Parliament confidence vote
BRUSSELS — Ursula von der Leyen and the European Commission have survived a no-confidence vote in the European Parliament, with 175 MEPs voting in favour of the motion of censure, 360 against and 18 abstentions.Votes in favor were well below the two-thirds majority of all votes cast required for the motion to be successful.Von der Leyen, who was not present in the hemicycle during the vote, is safe for now. But the vote has undoubtedly weakened her and left questions over support for her agenda in the Parliament.The Socialists and Democrats group extracted a pledge on the next long term budget in exchange for their support, a promise that will be put to the test next week when the Commission proposal is due to be published.The right-wing groups Patriots for Europe and Europe of Sovereign...

Climate change tripled death toll of latest European heatwave, says study
BRUSSELS — An estimated 1,500 people across 12 European cities were killed by human-caused climate change during the latest heatwave, a quickfire study has found.Burning fossil fuels has made heatwaves up to 4°C hotter in Europe, tripling the number of heat-related deaths that occurred between 23 June and 2 July, according to scientists at Imperial College London and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.It is the first time that a rapid analysis - a type of study that measures the influence of climate change on an extreme weather event - has been carried out for a heatwave. Since the analysis covers only a dozen cities, researchers estimate that the true death toll across Europe stretched into the tens of thousands.“It shows that climate change is an absolute game changer...
