Italian prosecutors have opened an investigation into Brian Molko of the British band Placebo, after the singer insulted the Italian prime minister during a concert near Turin.Molko was performing on July 11 at the Sonic Park music festival, when he thanked concertgoers and launched into a rant against far-right PM Giorgia Meloni. Shouting in Italian from the stage in front of a 5,000-strong audience, Molko called Meloni a “racist,” a “piece of shit,” and a “fascist,” an outburst that ended up with the local authorities reporting him to prosecutors, according to Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera.Earlier that night, Molko asked the audience to refrain from using their phones to better enjoy the concert. However, videos of the incident found its way onto social media.

Macron slams EU Commission for hiring American economist

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:35:50 GMT

French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday questioned the European Commission’s decision to appoint U.S. professor Fiona Scott Morton as chief economist of its competition department. Macron told reporters that he was “skeptical” of Scott Morton’s appointment and said the move was not “coherent” with Brussels’ strategic autonomy goals. “Strategic autonomy [also means] you need to have autonomy of thought,” he said as he left the EU-CELAC summit in Brussels, noting that “this is not necessarily the most coherent decision in this respect.”Over the past days France has been the fiercest opponent of Scott Morton’s appointment, calling on the Commission to retract the job offer. Macron said he was waiting for more clarification from the Commission and regretted that Brussels derogated on the requirement that Commission officials should be EU citizens. The French President stressed that neither the U.S. nor China wo...

Belgian and French railway operators SNCB and SNCF are planning a slower — but presumably cheaper — train connection between Brussels and Paris to “complement” the existing high-speed train link.The rail companies announced on Tuesday that they’re considering a regular train service between the two capitals from late 2024, which would connect Brussels’ Midi station with Paris’ Gare du Nord, potentially making stops along the way.The trip would take about three hours, and while it’s too soon to indicate a price range for tickets, they’d in any case be offered at a “competitive” rate, said SNCB spokesperson Bart Crols.A trip between Brussels and Paris takes less than an hour and a half on the existing high-speed Thalys connection, but while some tickets are offered at €29, a last-minute ticket costs over €100.The companies are pitching the plans as a “new alternative to road transport,” with a journey time that would fall between a drive — which takes about fou...
