WADA again seems to be a toothless tiger with people in top positions who often act like puppets on the string of interested parties who pay them (like IOC). Poor PR (e.g. childish Play True Day 😉) cannot mask the fundamental structural deficiencies. Worthwhile to read this:

After four Germans were arrested this week for allegedly spying for Chinese secret services, I was summoned to the MFA today. A quite telling move – but, after all, a good opportunity to explain a few things: 1) We do not tolerate espionage in Germany, regardless of (1/2)

Net positive sentiment towards Poland among Ukrainians has collapsed from 92 a year ago to 26 now. The same polling indicates that blockades of the border by Polish truckers and farmers are the primary cause of the decline. For more, see our full report: bit.ly/3Ucxo7V
Today, it's 5 months ago that we had parliamentary elections in the Netherlands. 23.5% of the voters made Wilders' far-right PVV the largest party. Since then, 3 parties have tried to help him to a coalition, with no apparent progress. He keeps sending aggressive tweets.

The House has voted to approve unconstitutional, warrantless searches of Americans' communications. Now the Senate has too—late on Friday, after the media had gone home. Only the President can stop it from becoming law, and he won't—because he's the one that asked for it. 🦅🇺🇸
😮💨 That pass from Mats Hummels. Have a look at the centre-back’s assist for Julian Brandt’s opening goal on Tuesday. 🤩
YOU can stop the NSA from taking over the internet—Senators are now afraid to vote for the "Everyone is a spy" RISAA Bill due to the overwhelming public opposition, but the White House is fighting HARD to whip them into line. If you haven't yet, PLEASE call your Senator NOW!

WADA again seems to be a toothless tiger with people in top positions who often act like puppets on the string of interested parties who pay them (like IOC). Poor PR (e.g. childish Play True Day 😉) cannot mask the fundamental structural deficiencies. Worthwhile to read this:
The alleged Chinese #doping scheme uncovered this week-end is a strong reminder of the large gap between global norms & local enforcement in #antidoping. #WADA talks a lot about a global level playing field, but in practice is largely incapable to secure it. 🧵🧵🧵 #Sportslaw
Die heutige @derspiegel -Titelstory zeichnet ein erschreckendes Bild der engen Kontakte zwischen führenden AfD-Politikern und russischen sowie chinesischen Stellen. Viele Details sind schon länger bekannt, einige aber sind neu und noch dazu explosiv 🧵 1/ spiegel.de/politik/deutsc…
1/ First, what @GeorginaEWright says: It might not have been a new vision for the EU but it was an ambitious and comprehensive speech that set a tone of urgency, also with a view to the upcoming EU elections (“Our Europe is mortal. It can die, and it all depends on our choices.“)
9. Ultimately, it felt more like an endorsement of Macron’s EU vision and a plea to go faster, rather than a new vision. But in today’s EU, it feels like Macron is the only leader capable of giving a speech that is, yes long, but also ambitious and comprehensive. END.
2/ Second, that being said, the speech was comprehensive on policy but not on institutions. In fact, Macron barely mentions institutions or institutional reform at all. The EU institutions are mentioned the most comprehensively in the salutations.
3/ He briefly lists citizens participation (ECI, referenda), transnational lists and QMV on foreign policy and taxation as elements of the reforms needed but then quickly concludes that while we have to go much further on this subject he won’t overwhelm us in the speech.
4/ Very notably, he also does not speak about enlargement. Only says that’s Ukraine, Moldovan and Western Balkan are destined to join the EU “when the time comes“ and that the EU can only be enlarged if it is thoroughly reformed and simplified, but does not elaborate.
8/ And the cherry on top was of course to be there together with @prof_mayer, even though we very much missed @NvOndarza, @D_Schwarzer and @FundaTekin17.
7/ Lastly, on a more personal note: The speech was objectively very long but did not feel that long at all in the hall. The combination of the atmosphere at Sorbonne and the way Macron delivered the speech really made it one of the highlights of my think tanking career so far.
6/ I‘ll try to analyse the implications of the speech a little more over the next few days but in the meantime have a look at @niredeker‘s analysis of the economic policy takeaways of the speech (of which there are many more than of the institutional ones):
Emmanuel Macron just delivered his much-anticipated Sorbonne 2.0 speech about the EU's future. Here's a first attempt to sift through the main economic policy takeaways.
