An Italian assistant to MEP Fulvio Martusciello faces extradition to Belgium over Huawei-linked corruption charges, including money laundering and criminal association. Luciana Simeone is accused of distributing funds for MEPs to sign letters supporting 5G deployment, avoiding direct mention of Huawei. The investigation implicates several MEPs and intermediaries in a cash-for-influence scheme, with payments allegedly funneled through fake invoices.
Thierry Breton, the former EU commissioner, resigned amid tensions with Ursula von der Leyen and sought clearance for a non-executive advisory role at Bank of America, promising to adhere to anti-lobbying rules during a two-year cooling-off period. The commission's ethics committee approved his role, emphasizing the importance of confidentiality from his previous position.
Elon Musk and several Republican lawmakers have expressed support for the U.S. withdrawal from NATO and the United Nations, citing concerns over America's contributions versus benefits. However, legal hurdles exist, as a 2023 law requires Senate approval for such a move. The repercussions of withdrawal could destabilize Europe, diminish U.S. global influence, and empower adversaries like China.
Control of the EU's single market and industrial briefs has predominantly been held by larger member states like France, Germany, Italy, and Poland since 2004, reflecting their influence in EU lawmaking. France, in particular, has strategically positioned itself to dominate these roles, raising concerns among other nations about potential protectionism. Smaller countries often receive less influential portfolios, leading to frustrations over perceived imbalances in power within the European Commission.
