POLITICAL NOTE No. 1 - January 28, 2024

  EUROPE – POLITICAL NOTE No. 1, 2024 FINLAND: Presidential elections are held today, Sunday 28 January, in Finland. The incumbent president, Sauli Niinistö, cannot continue as he has served two terms. The favorite for the post is my old friend and colleague in the Commission, Alex Stubb. He is a former prime minister and finance minister. And years ago he was employed in Delors’ cabinet here in Brussels. He is very pro-European and very pro-NATO. He has argued for Finland's membership of both organizations for many years. And that is the country as you know now. Alex is from the conservative Samlingsparty.

Before that, he was for several years in Brussels as an employee at the Hungarian representation at the EU. The government tries to overlook and trivialize him. But it doesn't seem to work. Hi...

POLITICAL NOTE No. 3, 2024 - March 12, 2024

SWEDEN FINALLY IN NATO Now Sweden finally joined NATO. After a year of waiting, the last NATO country, Hungary, decided to say YES to Swedish membership. The alliance has never been stronger, as US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, said the other day. NATO now includes a total of 32 member states, including virtually all countries around the Baltic Sea. And Sweden's role in the alliance will be very important. Partly, with support from the other NATO countries, it can secure the entire Baltic Sea area, not least also from the large, centrally located island, Gotland. In part, the country, with its total of 9,300 km of coastline towards the Kattegat and the Baltic Sea in particular, can play a central role for the security of all of Northern Europe. And partly, Gothenburg and its large port will be a hub for NATO reinforcements both in peacetime and in wartime. In the near future, Sweden will also actively participate in NATO's multinational brigade, located in Latvia. ...
