Macron’s abaya ban nods to the right, splits the left

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:19:55 GMT

PARIS — With the ban on abayas in schools, French President Emmanuel Macron is killing two birds with one stone: He sends a signal to the right and divides the left.But he also risks opening a Pandora’s box.The decision to forbid the long, flowing robes worn by some Muslim women has ended a period of hesitation at the top levels of government over its approach to the sacrosanct principle of secularism in France.The message sent out this week by Macron’s Cabinet was one of resolve and steadfastness. Freshly appointed Education Minister Gabriel Attal said that French schools “were being tested,” while Olivier Véran, the government spokesperson, described the wearing of abayas as “a political attack.” Attal has argued the government is acting to stem a growing trend of students wearing Muslim dress in spite of a 2004 ban on religious symbols, including the Islamic hijab or headscarf, in public schools. Bruno Jeanbart, vice president of the polling ag...

Europe needs to think bigger to build its capital markets union

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:19:55 GMT

Fabio Panetta has been serving as a member of the executive board of the European Central Bank since 2020.With rising geopolitical tensions and urgent global challenges such as the climate and digital transitions, Europe needs to bolster its resilience to shocks and invest strategically. In order to achieve this, we need to work together, as a more integrated Europe is better positioned to realize shared goals in a fragmented global economy.Central to this strategy is the creation of an integrated European capital market — a vision set out by the European Commission in 2015, and commonly known as the capital markets union (CMU).A fully functioning CMU would both enhance Europe’s economic structure and benefit the euro area. It would do this in three main ways:It would allow us to reap the benefits of euro area-wide capital markets, and facilitate greater risk-sharing across member countries. At present, barriers between national markets are deterring cross-border investment, leaving...

How Italy’s far-right leader learned to stop worrying and love migration 

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:19:55 GMT

Before becoming Italian prime minister, Giorgia Meloni was one of the most strident voices on migration in the European Union. As an opposition politician, she warned darkly of efforts to substitute native Italians with ethnic minorities and promised to put in place a naval blockade to stop migrants crossing the Mediterranean. During her time in office, she has taken a markedly different tack — presiding over a sharp spike in irregular arrivals and introducing legislation that could see as many as 1.5 million new migrants arrive through legal channels. Coming at a time when the right and far right are in ascendance ahead of the European Parliament election next spring, Meloni’s policies represent an important course correction for the Continent’s conservative bloc, as fiery rhetoric yields to the cold practicalities of governing. “Once in government, you need to find solutions, instead of scapegoats,” said Claudio Cerasa, the editor of th...
