Victor Negrescu, the Social Democratic vice president of the European Parliament from Romania, was ranked as the fourth most influential MEP in the 2026 edition of a yearly analysis published by EU Matrix . The analysis measures the influence that members of the European Parliament have exerted over EU policy since the start of the current parliamentary term (2024–present). Specifically, influence is measured through a combination of criteria clustered into formal and informal leadership positions, actual legislative work, committee membership, political network, and voting behaviour.

PoliticalUpdate🇹🇷Turkey 🇨🇿Czech Republic31d ago

The latest escalation between the two political opponents has ended up in the country’s constitutional court, which is expected to take up the matter on Wednesday. Czech President Petr Pavel on Tuesday said that he had filed a lawsuit against the government, challenging Prime Minister Andrej Babiš’s decision to not include him in the government delegation attending the NATO summit in Ankara in July. The competency suit, which was lodged with Czechia’s Constitutional Court, asks for clarity on who has the authority to decide whether the head of state may attend the NATO summit.

Eleven European nations—including Poland, Latvia, Estonia, and Scandinavia—pressed the European Commission to tighten and harmonize visa restrictions for Russian citizens, citing inconsistent enforcement across the Schengen zone.

France, Italy, and Spain continue issuing the majority of permits (collectively ~440,000 in 2025), drawing criticism for lax implementation despite recommendations to prioritize essential travel only.

European Union diplomats have begun developing sanctions measures against Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir following a video showing him waving an Israeli flag over detained international activists with bound hands. The discussions, initiated in early June, face significant hurdles as unanimous EU approval is required; Czechia has repeatedly blocked sanctions against specific Israeli officials, while France has already banned Ben-Gvir from entry and pledged to push for sanctions alongside Italy.
