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

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:21:19 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.

Europe needs to think bigger to build its capital markets union

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:21:19 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 Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:21:19 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...

Tory green wars are about to heat up

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:21:19 GMT

LONDON — It’s been a summer of civil war inside Britain’s main political parties over all things green — and with the nights drawing in, the real battles are about to begin.The fallout from the U.K. Conservatives’ successful by-election campaign in Uxbridge, west London, in July, which targeted Labour Mayor Sadiq Khan’s plan to tax heavily-polluting vehicles, reverberated through an unusually quiet August break. And as recess draws to a close, both major parties now face internal pressure to scale back environmental commitments which could hit household budgets during an ongoing cost-of-living squeeze, as they enter what will effectively be an extended general election campaign.Tensions will move up a notch when the U.K. parliament returns next week from its summer recess, with MPs set to debate the final stages of the Energy Bill as one of the first main items of business. It’s the last chance to influence a huge array of policy decisions arising from a major piece...

Health officials celebrate new FDA rules allowing many gay and bisexual men to give blood

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:21:19 GMT

Health officials rolled up their sleeves in Dedham to give blood Tuesday at an event aimed at bringing awareness to recently updated rules enabling many gay and bisexual men to donate their blood.Massachusetts Commissioner of Public Health Robbie Goldstein and former Centers for Disease Control Director Rochelle Walensky spoke at the event, saying changing the policy for blood donation eligibility was a personal mission. “I remember the morning after the Pulse nightclub attack and just tears coming to my eyes and crying and knowing that I wanted to do so much and there was actually very little that I could do in that moment,” Goldstein said. “I couldn’t donate blood and I couldn’t give back in that way and it was something that was so necessary.”Many gay and bisexual men had previously been unable to donate blood. The FDA issued new rules in May, though. This month, the American Red Cross began accepting blood donations from newly eligible donors. Before the change, Goldstein a...
