Serbian prosecutors have opened an investigation claiming that students planned to simulate the use of a “sonic cannon” during the huge Belgrade protest of 15 March 2025. This is outrageous: instead of identifying who ordered and used that banned acoustic weapon, the authorities are now targeting its victims.
The videos and testimonies show that something very real happened: peaceful students and citizens were suddenly thrown into panic during a silent tribute, with many reporting nausea, dizziness and headaches. That weapon did not fall from the sky. Someone used it, and someone covered it up.
Vučić and those responsible bear a grave political and moral responsibility. A system that still has no real accountability for the Novi Sad canopy collapse, and now investigates the victims of the sonic cannon, shows how rotten Serbia’s institutions remain. Serbia deserves truth and justice, not intimidation.

European justice works. EPPO is proving it case after case: from Prague, where prosecutors indicted two people and a company over an alleged €4.1m EU subsidy fraud, to Poland, where senior officials face corruption charges linked to EU-funded tram modernisation. When EU money is stolen, Europe can investigate, prosecute and act across borders. Our answer is clear: this success must become the rule. Every Member State should join EPPO. No loopholes, no blind spots, no fraud beyond Europe’s reach.

Andrej Babiš is not just blocking Petr Pavel from NATO’s Ankara summit. He is attacking the balance of powers written into Czechia’s Constitution: the President represents the state externally, while the government’s countersignature ensures accountability. That is the point of checks and balances. Bypassing it for partisan theatre weakens Prague, helps Moscow and insults Ukraine. Czechia needs a serious European voice. That voice is Pavel.

Europe is sweating through another “normal” week: red alerts, 40°C days, sleepless nights. But sure, climate change is a woke fairy tale, says Donald Trump — and Europe’s far right happily repeats the script, usually with fossil-fuel money applauding offstage. The joke is burning around us. Europe must defend its economies, not sacrifice them; but denial will not save a single job, farm or family. The green transition must be pragmatic, fair and relentless. Reality votes too.

Ten years after the Brexit vote, the bill is brutal. Britain has paid for Nigel Farage’s lie with two million fewer jobs, £27bn in lost trade, an economy up to 8% smaller and costs estimated at £90bn every year. This is what happens when nationalism sells slogans and citizens get the invoice. Europe is not a prison. It is protection, opportunity and power shared. Brexit broke promises; Europe builds futures.

Yesterday’s massive demonstration sent a clear message: Albanians want a European future, not private deals for oligarchs. Edi Rama must choose transparency, rule of law and protected nature over backroom agreements and privilege for the powerful. Albania is not for sale.

Tbilisi has sentenced eight more protesters from the 4 October peaceful demonstration to five years in prison each. This is not justice; it is intimidation dressed as law. Georgia’s European future cannot be built with courtrooms turned into weapons against citizens. As European Democrats, we stand with those defending democracy, free expression and the rule of law. Europe must be clear: repression has a price, freedom has allies, and the Georgian people deserve ballots, not prison cells.

Parastoo Ahmadi’s voice is pure beauty: fragile, powerful, unforgettable.
And for that voice — for singing without a veil — Iran’s regime wants to punish her with 74 lashes.
A song should never be a crime. A woman’s voice should never be feared. Stand with Parastoo. Stand with freedom. Stand with free Iran.

Europe has drawn a red line: AI must never become a weapon against people’s dignity. The last week Parliament’s ban on nudifier apps and AI-generated intimate content without consent is a victory we had been demanding for a long time. Many EDP MEPs pushed for action, including through parliamentary questions. Innovation, yes. Humiliation, abuse and child sexual exploitation, never. Europe protects freedom by protecting people. This is responsible digital Europe in action.

Our President François Bayrou is right: the far right and the far left are two serious threats to democracy. History is clear: extremes have never brought freedom, prosperity or happiness. In France, as across the world, those who reject fanaticism must respect each other, listen to each other and come together. The central river of democracy must become a force: open, serious, courageous and ready to govern.
