Thursday was a day of tables and summits across Europe. France’s president hosted Italy’s prime minister for their first one-to-one summit, two old rivals finding common ground a year before elections in both their countries.
In Poland, leaders gathered to plan the rebuilding of a war-torn neighbour, and in Spain a former prime minister was called before a court. From Antibes to Gdansk to Madrid, Europe spent the day in conversation with its rivals, its partners, and its own past.
Today’s Europe Intelligence Brief covers the region’s economy and politics, country by country. We pulled it together from major European outlets in German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Polish, and English.
