The right-wing populist alliance around post-fascist Giorgia Meloni has won the parliamentary elections in Italy. The new government faces enormous economic challenges and will be a difficult and complicated cooperation partner for the EU and Germany, writes Paweł Tokarski.
France’s President Macron has lost his majority in parliament. He must now seek support from other camps for his economic policy in order to contain social discontent and halt the rise of Eurosceptic forces, say Paweł Tokarski and Jonas Kaiser.
In parallel with the competition for new leadership, the European Stability Mechanism is trying to remodel itself. The latest idea of the ESM economists to create an additional aid instrument within the institution is worth considering, say Jonas Kaiser and Paweł Tokarski.
The euro currency was introduced as cash on 1 January 2002. The single currency has mitigated the impact of external shocks on the euro area economies and led to deeper integration. But many problems remain unresolved, writes Paweł Tokarski.
