‘Not a done deal’: Dutch pick for EU climate job faces tough Parliament grilling

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:08:03 GMT

Wopke Hoekstra’s bid to run Europe’s climate policy is running into resistance. The Dutch choice to replace Frans Timmermans as commissioner is set to face a difficult grilling in the European Parliament, where key lawmakers greeted his nomination with skepticism on Friday. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will interview Hoekstra on Tuesday, spokeswoman Dana Spinant said. If she approves, he’ll have to convince MEPs in a parliamentary hearing. Left-leaning MEPs, however, have major reservations. “It’s not guaranteed that Parliament will back him,” said Mohammed Chahim, vice president of the center-left Socialists & Democrats (S&D), the assembly’s second-largest group. “The probability of us supporting him depends on whether he surprises us at the hearing. But we’re not very keen on him,” he added.Timmermans, an S&D member, resigned as executive vice president responsible for the European Green Deal this week to run for prime min...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:08:03 GMT

Spain’s deputy prime minister said Friday the government will use any means necessary to force out belligerent football chief Luis Rubiales, who has refused to resign amid a sexual harassment furor. In a combative speech to football bigwigs on Friday afternoon, a defiant Rubiales — president of the Spanish football federation — said he would not resign despite widespread criticism after he kissed footballer Jenni Hermoso on the lips on Sunday. Speaking to POLITICO, Spanish Deputy Prime Minister Teresa Ribera called Rubiales’ actions and later comments “shameful” and “unacceptable.”“No one doing & saying this can be in a position to represent any institution,” Ribera said in a text message. “No women can be used in such a way. No one can accept an invitation to his male mates to take this as the ‘normal’ way to behave. [Rubiales] should not stay in office any longer and the government will take any actions to step him down.”Spain has been roiled for days by the snowball...

Latvia PM: Let EU countries with no colonial past lead diplomacy with BRICS+

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:08:03 GMT

Outgoing Latvian Prime Minister Krišjānis Kariņš called on Europe to let member countries without a history as colonial overlords handle the crucial but often tense diplomatic relations with countries across Africa, Asia and South America.“The countries that were formerly colonized may not necessarily care for the advice of the former colonies. Certainly in Latvia, we can understand this,” he said during a video interview from Riga. During a recent EU summit with Latin American countries “I realised that, actually, their perception of Europe was often a little bit like the Baltics’ perception of Russia,” he said. In the same vein, Kariņš also compared the view that former French colonies can have of Paris, to the perception Latvians have of Moscow. “I suppose to … an old French colony, those people listening to what the French president has to say, may seem similar to a Latvian listening to what Putin has to say,” he argued.In a sign of a potential shift in the coord...

UAW members approve possible strikes at GM, Ford and Stellantis

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:08:03 GMT

New York (CNN) — Members of the United Auto Workers union overwhelmingly approved possible strikes at the nation’s three unionized automakers next month, as the union tries to win back many of the concessions it lost more than 15 years ago and protect members during the transition to electric vehicles in the years ahead.The union said 97% of those participating in the strike authorization voted in favor of possible strikes at General Motors, Ford and Stellantis, the company that sells vehicles under the Ram, Dodge, Jeep and Chrysler names. There are 145,000 UAW members at the three companies.“Our union’s membership is clearly fed up with living paycheck to paycheck while the corporate elite and billionaire class continue to make out like bandits,” said UAW President Shawn Fain.However, the vote does not mean there will be a strike at any of the three automakers. It just empowers union leadership to call a strike if they can’t reach a deal with management before a contract ...
