1/4 The AfD does not need to enter government to change Germany.
Political volatility, economic stagnation and the party’s growing influence are already pushing Berlin towards a more inward-looking politics. 🧵

To remain competitive on their own terms, mainstream parties will have to demonstrate that they, too, have a vision for giving vulnerable citizens control over their future 👇️

Polling suggests the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party could well become the largest party in the Bundestag in 2029.
ECFR's new policy brief analyses how domestic political travails – a more fragmented and volatile party system, rise of the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) and economic stagnation – can shape Germany’s foreign and EU policy in the upcoming years. ecfr.eu/publication/deutschl…
It is imperative to restore the public legitimacy of the Constitutional Tribunal. Ultimately, it must mean phasing out the current tribunal and establishing a new one, based on new, commonly agreed rules, writes @PiotrBuras1.

1/4 The EU-Canada relationship is becoming a test case for something bigger.
Rather than getting stuck on the label of “associate membership”, Europe should use the partnership to build a new kind of global community. 🧵

1/4 Europe will not outspend the US on AI data centres.
But it can compete in a different way: by building the market that prices and finances AI compute — the computing power on which AI runs. 🧵

Replacing the court based on new, commonly agreed rules is the only way to secure support from across a divided Polish society, writes @PiotrBuras1 @ecfr.eu

1/4 Europe’s green transition is facing a geopolitical blizzard.
To stay competitive, secure and on track, the EU needs a green team of trusted partners that can supply the materials, technology and components Europe lacks. 🧵

1/4 China is steadily removing European technology from parts of its critical infrastructure on security grounds.
At the same time, Chinese suppliers are still expanding across Europe.
That asymmetry should matter for European policy. 🧵

2/4 Beijing’s approach follows a clear pattern: identify foreign dependencies, build domestic alternatives, then replace technologies it considers risky, writes @oertel_janka.
Europe can use that process as a guide to the vulnerabilities China itself takes seriously.

1/4 Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal is in crisis.
Years of politicisation under PiS badly damaged its legitimacy. Now, the latest confrontation risks deepening distrust on both sides of Poland’s political divide. 🧵

2/4 The problem is no longer only who controls the court.
One part of society sees the tribunal as a product of PiS rule; another may now reject the way the current authorities tried to restore its functioning.
That makes legitimacy the central challenge, writes @PiotrBuras1

1/4 Europe’s diesel dependence is not only a climate problem, it is also a geopolitical one.
The EU refines most of its own diesel, but imports almost all the crude oil needed to make it. That leaves it exposed to supply shocks. 🧵

2/4 Vans are a big part of the problem, writes @noah_gordon_.
Europe has around 31 million of them. They make up about 10% of the vehicle fleet, but consume roughly 16% of its diesel and the average van is almost 13 years old.

1/4 Serbia’s student movement has ended Vučić’s 14-year rule, winning around 53% of the vote against his SNS-led camp.
The harder part starts now: turning electoral victory into a democratic reset. 🧵 @ECFREuropeanSec @EngjellusheM
