 Mars 2026, Bruxelles. Les rues vibrent au rythme de mobilisations antiracistes. Parmi elles, un festival de cinéma engagé propose une programmation riche et accessible, pensée pour toucher une diversité de publics. C’est dans ce contexte que s’impose presque naturellement le choix de L’Histoire de Souleymane, projeté au centre culturel Senghor à Etterbeek. La séance se prolonge par un débat. Un intervenant clé, « La Maison des Livreurs », syndicat défendant ces livreurs de nourriture arpentant nos rues, souvent à vélo, apporte un éclairage sur la réalité du terrain. Très vite, une question s’impose néanmoins : pourquoi le droit semble-t-il incapable de réguler pleinement les situations liées a ces livreurs, dits “travailleurs de plateforme” ? 5 min social Maé Kindoki EUROPE’S FREE PRESS ON TRIAL: SLAPPS AND THE FIGHT FOR MEDIA FREEDOM April 2026 Read more Press freedom is one of the founding pillars of democracy: when it is threatened, democratic life suffers. Across Europe, journalistic freedom is under pressure, not only from political actors but also from economic and legal mechanisms that limit what the media can investigate and say. Non‑governmental organisations such as Reporters Without Borders and Freedom House, which regularly monitor these threats and advocate for journalistic freedom, have highlighted the spread of SLAPPs (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation) across the EU, especially in countries like Italy. 7 min Media independence Ludovica Avalle FAST FASHION : COMPRENDRE LA STRATÉGIE DE L’UE POUR METTRE FIN À LA MODE JETABLE.

 Un Européen consomme en moyenne chaque année plus de 25 kg de textiles, dont quasiment la moitié est jetée. Les déchets textiles sont très peu recyclés et la grande majorité est incinérée. En plus de l’impact qu’a la production de vêtements sur la consommation d’eau, leur recyclage est peu courant. Ce phénomène peut être qualifié de production de déchets textiles, notamment en raison de l’accélération des cycles de fabrication de géants de l’industrie vestimentaire. Face à ce modèle industriel destructeur de l’environnement, l’Union européenne (UE) a présenté différentes stratégies afin de freiner la fast fashion ,voire l’ultra-fast fashion. 6 min Climat Florya De Decker BRITAIN OUTSIDE THE UNION, INSIDE EUROPE’S ORBIT April 2026 Read more
 5 years after Brexit, the United Kingdom is once again looking towards Europe. From renewed cooperation on defence to a recent British push to be included in “Made in Europe” initiatives, London’s evolving strategy makes us question if the UK has really distanced itself from Europe. 5 min International Tatiana Pires HOW EUROPE’S DIVISIONS SUSTAIN DEPENDENCE ON THE UNITED STATES April 2026 Read more
 Europe’s relationship with the United States is often discussed in terms of dependence and autonomy, although this distinction does not play out in the same way across the continent. For the countries on NATO’s eastern flank, the American presence is still seen as the main guarantee of security. France and Germany, by contrast, speak more often of European autonomy, but their policies rarely match that ambition. In southern Europe, meanwhile, the costs of Atlantic alignment are often felt more clearly than its benefits. The result is a divided political landscape in which different parts of Europe experience dependence on the United States in different ways and for different reasons.

 Europe’s divided response to Washington’s initiative reveals a deeper problem: a diplomatic framework that strengthens the US control while narrowing Europe’s strategic influence. The dispute over participation shows how a US-led diplomatic strategy can work against European interests, weakening both individual member states and the European Union (EU) as a political union. 4 min International Antonio Cardone L’HYDROGÈNE VERT, VECTEUR ÉNERGÉTIQUE POUR L’AVENIR DE LA TRANSITION ÉCOLOGIQUE DE L’UE 9 mars 2026

 L’hydrogène vert est au cœur des politiques climatiques européennes pour accompagner l’UE dans sa transition énergétique et réduire sa dépendance aux énergies fossiles. Bien qu’il offre des opportunités économiques, le développement de l’hydrogène vert reste minime dans le mix énergétique européen tant il est complexe à généraliser à l’échelle du continent. 4min transition énergétique Hippolyte Vaneecloo THE EUROPEAN DRONE DEFENCE INITIATIVE: BUILDING A 360° SHIELD AGAINST HYBRID THREATS 16 February 2026 Read more
 In October 2025, the European Commission and the High Representative proposed the “Preserving Peace – Defence Readiness Roadmap 2030” in Brussels. The aim is to ensure all EU Member States can deter aggression by the end of the decade. This strategic plan identifies drones as a critical capability gap that must be filled to protect every citizen and square centimeter of European territory. By setting clear milestones for 2030, the EU aims to respond to escalating threats with unity and determination. 4min Security Camille Houyoux BETWEEN WASHINGTON AND MOSCOW: EU’S MARGINALIZATION IN THE UKRAINE PEACE TALKS

 As the peace talks for Ukraine restart and seem to gain new momentum over the last months of 2025, the EU tries to assert its presence as a central and fundamental actor for the peace process. Brussels insists that its absence would hinder every possibility of a just and lasting peace, undermining not only Ukraine’s future, but also the EU’s security. The EU is willing to pass from a role of financial supporter (and possible post-conflict stabilizer) to an actual co-architect of peace. Nevertheless, the Union continues to be excluded from formal peace talks, while the US President Donald Trump continues to seek direct negotiations with Putin’s Russia, hardly considering Ukraine’s will. 5 min russia invasion of Ukraine Antonio cardone

Gen Z takes to the streets across Europe: Why are young people angry?

27 October 2026 Youth 6 min

From deteriorating schools in France to housing protests in Spain and Portugal, young Europeans are taking to the streets over rising living costs, limited opportunities and a growing sense that governments are failing to address their concerns. These protests do not form a single Europe-wide movement, nor do they share exactly the same causes. Yet they raise a common question: can young Europeans still see a realistic path from education to decent work, and from financial dependence to an independent life?
