Keen to localize production & reduce dependence from China, Europe’s EV industry is becoming increasingly exposed to a local autocrat. I wrote about Viktor Orban’s startling bid to make Hungary a “battery superpower” Just out in @phenomenalworld phenomenalworld.org/analysis…

Striking data from @Bloomberg — that dense cluster of large grey circles in Hungary highlights Europe’s growing dependence on batteries produced by Chinese firms in an autocratic member state. EU strategic autonomy? Not quite. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Today, I swore in as Member of Parliament. I pledge to amplify the voices of all those who are overlooked and oppressed by Orban’s regime. As a liberal woman, this space feels like another planet — but the more they try to silence us, the louder we will become.

Check out this website that my dear friend and colleague @leek_lauren set up together with @simeonbischl ! Central banks produce a lot of textual output these days but it's often overwhelming. The data dashboards on offer here are neat and accessible.
It’s live! The past few days @simeonbischl and I have had some intense coding sessions and we are happy to share the result: centralbanktalk.eu/ this website includes various tools to explore central bank communication. (1/

The Iowa Selzer poll is probably a bit of an outlier (time will tell), but Iowa -- with its peerless bean and corn land -- does have reason to worry about a new trade war with China. 1/
Seems plausible that the biggest relative shift towards Republicans could be in New York, the biggest relative shift towards Democrats could be somewhere in the Iowa/Nebraska/Kansas area, with Pennsylvania being pulled in both directions.

Some parts of the global south have even outpaced China. Latin America hit the same share of renewable generation as China, but got there four years *faster*: on.ft.com/3A3UxTT

Yesterday, for the first time, @motyo6 & I voted at the Brussels local elections. Because coming from Hungary, what we REALLY needed was another space to read headlines about our chosen side's "catastrophic defeat"😅 Thx, car people! You made air pollution great again😤
