How to Stay Informed (5/5)

On 16 December 2024, German chancellor Olaf Scholz lost a vote of confidence in the Bundestag, the German parliament. Since then, parliament has been dissolved and new federal elections have been organised, initially planned for September 2025. The voting system will be majority and proportional and will almost systematically lead to the formation of a coalition, which is necessary to elect the future chancellor.

On 23 February 2025, the German federal elections are due to take place. The voting system will be both majority and proportional.

More and more European countries are embracing shorter working hours, and some are even trialling the four-day week. 

Do Europeans want to “work less, live better”?

All work and no play makes for a dull Europe – and many countries are trying out a shorter working week.

The breakout success of Chinese DeepSeek has shaken the US’s position as a global leader in artificial intelligence. But although it might seem like a two-horse race between the US and China, the EU was the first region in the world to have created a legal framework for AI and is starting to massively invest in supercomputing and innovation. As the European Commission said, “The race for AI is far from over.”

Is Europe still in the AI race?

Europe may be lagging behind in AI technology, but DeepSeek’s rise is a sign it could catch up.

Developed over 80 years ago for their indestructible qualities, PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are now inescapable. From kitchenware to drinking water, and even in the entire food chain, these synthetic chemicals with variants in their tens of thousands, are piling up in our environment and posing a serious health threat. With over 2,300 contamination ‘hot spots’ across Europe, the risk to our bodies is real. For the last decade, the EU has been trying to regulate their use, but the industrial sector is pushing back, using economic arguments to maintain the status quo.
