Το ευρωπαϊκό όνειρο είναι νεκρό. Απόψε ξεκινά ένα νέο όνειρο – Εθνικό Θέατρο Βρυξελλών, DiEM25 7-3-2025

, 25/03/2025

Κάποτε είχαμε ένα όνειρο. Ένα όνειρο για το πώς θα μπορούσε να είναι η Ευρώπη. Μια Ευρώπη της κοινής ευημερίας, της αξιοπρέπειας, της ελευθερίας – μια Ευρώπη της Ειρήνης και της Ελπίδας. Αυτό το όνειρο εξαϋλώθηκε, διαλύθηκε, είναι νεκρό. Γιατί; Τι στα κομμάτια συνέβη στην Ευρώπη; Ξέρουμε τι συνέβη στην Ευρώπη! Ξέρουμε γιατί πολιτικοί καταφθάνουν από παντού […]

The Case Against European Rearmament – Project Syndicate op-ed

, 25/03/2025

If we truly want to strengthen Europe, the first step is not to rearm. It is to forge the democratic union without which stagnation will continue to erode Europe’s capacities, rendering it unable to rebuild what is left of Ukraine once Vladimir Putin is finished with it. ATHENS – Inducting Ukraine into NATO after forcing […]

Goodbye, LINKE!

, 22/03/2025

In its quest to become a ‘normal’, ‘acceptable’ party, Die Linke has joined the warmongering radical centrists in their rearmament folly This past week was one for the history books. The German parliament  amended the constitutional debt brake so as to enable unlimited military spending, irrespectively of how deeply into the red it will push […]

WTF happened to Europe? Speech at DiEM25’s Brussels Event (National Theatre, 7th March 2025)

, 10/03/2025

Good evening Brussels! We once had a dream. It was a dream of what Europe could have been. A Europe of shared prosperity, dignity, freedom – a Europe of Peace and Hope. That dream is now dead, lost, gone, kaput. Why? What the hell happened to Europe? We know what happened to Europe! We know […]

Το απεχθές παράδοξο των γερμανικών ομοσπονδιακών εκλογών του 2025 – Euronews

, 24/02/2025

Αυτές οι γερμανικές ομοσπονδιακές εκλογές μόνο ως ένα αρνητικό παράδοξο μπορούν να χαρακτηριστούν: Ταυτόχρονα ασήμαντες – με την έννοια ότι θα καταλήξουν σε μια άλλη παραλλαγή του ίδιου, σχεδόν μόνιμου, συνασπισμού Χριστιανοδημοκρατών και Σοσιαλδημοκρατών, ίσως με μια μικρή δόση ψευδο-Πράσινων – τον ίδιο δηλαδή συνασπισμό που έβαλε τη Γερμανία στο δρόμο προς την συνεχόμενη αποτελμάτωση. […]

The sordid paradox that was the 2025 German federal election – Euronews

, 24/02/2025

This German federal election is a paradox: Simultaneously irrelevant – in the sense that it will result into another variant of the same, quasi permanent, coalition of Christian & Social Democrats, perhaps with a splattering of the pseudo-Greens – the same coalition that put Germany on the road to a secular slump, will continue to […]

Europe in the Post-Atlanticist Era – The Guardian

, 21/02/2025

JD Vance, the US Vice President, told Europeans that their values are no longer America’s values. Pete Hegseth, the US Defence Secretary, added that Europeans “can’t make an assumption that America’s presence will last forever.” Keith Kellog, Trump’s special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, confirmed that Europe will not have a seat at the table […]

How Europe succumbed to the US & the financial sector and now fights their wars

, 21/02/2025

Jakob de Jonge sits down with Yanis Varoufakis to discuss the structural flaws of the European Union, the rise of warmongering, and the complicity of Europe’s political mindset in the genocide in Gaza. What is the path forward? Varoufakis argues that resistance is not only necessary—it is both meaningful and, as he puts it, “fun […]

Η αυτοπροδοσία της Ευρώπης: Πόλεμος, Λιτότητα, Παλαιστίνη κι ο Αγώνας για Ειρήνη – Ομιλία στο Μόναχο, 15-2-2025

, 21/02/2025

Φίλες και φίλοι, πολίτες απ’ όλο τον κόσμο, συνοδοιπόροι. Είχαμε, κάποτε, ένα όνειρο. Ήταν το όνειρο του τι θα μπορούσε να είναι η Ευρώπη. Δεν ονειρευτήκαμε την ενιαία αγορά, τον κοινοτικό προϋπολογισμό, το κοινό νόμισμα. Όχι, ονειρευτήκαμε την Ευρώπη ως ένα Πρότζεκτ Ειρήνης με Δικαιοσύνη. Εκείνο το όνειρο χάθηκε, εξατμίστηκε, διαλύθηκε υπό το κρύο και […]

Europe’s Self-Betrayal: War, Austerity, Palestine and the Struggle for Peace – Munich Speech, 15-2-2025

, 21/02/2025

Friends, Germans, citizens from all over, sisters and brothers. We once had a dream. It was the dream of what Europe could have been: Not a single market, a single currency or a common budget. No, we dreamt of Europe as a Peace with Justice Project. That dream has gone, it evaporated in the cold […]

What to expect from Sunday’s German election – video

, 21/02/2025

On Sunday, Germany goes to the polls. The least significant result is that we shall have a new Chancellor: Mr Friedrich Mertz, the leader of the Christian Democrats, who will most likely receive double the votes of the unpopular incumbent social democratic Chancellor Mr Olaf Scholz, a politician destined either to return to a new […]

Justice for Palestinians will also emancipate Israelis and Europeans – My remarks at the Hague Group’s inaugural meeting reception

, 02/02/2025

Nine governments just signed the new Hague Group’s Declaration. Hailing from Africa, Asia and Latin America, they represent the collective voice of the Global South but also a majority of the peoples of the Global North whose governments have been so shamelessly complicit in our generation’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people. We salute these […]

Η απελευθέρωση των Παλαιστίνιων ως προαπαιτούμενο για την απελευθέρωση Ισραηλινών & Ευρωπαίων: Δήλωση Γ. Βαρουφάκη στην έναρξη της Ομάδας της Χάγης 31-1-2025

, 02/02/2025

Εννέα κυβερνήσεις υπέγραψαν πριν λίγο, στη διπλανή αίθουσα, την Διακήρυξη της Ομάδας της Χάγης με την οποία δεσμεύονται για κυρώσεις κατά του Ισραήλ έως ότου πάψει τη γενοκτονία, καταργήσει το Απαρτχάιντ και τηρήσει το Διεθνές Δίκαιο. Εκπροσωπώντας χώρες της Αφρικής, της Ασίας και της Λατινικής Αμερικής, αντιπροσωπεύουν τόσο την κοινή γνώμη του Παγκόσμιου Νότου όσο […]

Yanis Varoufakis in conversation with Francesca Albanese

, 30/01/2025

Shortly after the Gaza ceasefire deal was signed, I had the pleasure of a conversation with Francesca Albanese, the UN Rapporteur on Palestine. The occasion was MeRA25’s National Convention (Jan 2025) where this video was screened. Enjoy our conversation and, in particular, Francesca’s inimitable capacity to talk like a dispassionate lawyer and, at once, a […]

Cloud Capital vs AI: What DeepSeek means for technofeudalism & the New Cold War

, 28/01/2025

DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) company, this week changed the global AI landscape, not to mention caused $1 trillion losses in the New York stock exchange and the NASDAC. In the process, it demonstrated the difference between cloud capital, which drives technofeudalism onward and upward, and AI-services, which were always a bubble waiting to […]

Rachel Reeves’ unbearable acquiescence to the City bankers – UNHERD

, 16/01/2025

The curse of finance ministers whose country’s business model is broken is that they are powerless to transform the economy, yet too powerful not to take the blame. But when the economy is merely stagnating, not yet in free-fall, preventing the descent into a financial crisis should require no more than average competence. Sadly, the […]

What to watch out for in the unfolding Palestinian genocide – a video briefing on 9th Jan 2025

, 09/01/2025

Watching, on the one hand, the Israeli soldiers’ video confessions of their genocidal intent and acts and, on the other hand, the Palestinians’ livestreaming of their own deaths and devastation, it is ever so easy to throw one’s hands up in the air, to despair, to want to shut the cruelty out, to find solace […]

Trump, the Dollar and China: What to watch for in 2025

, 31/12/2024

Trump wants to boost exports, bring back American jobs from overseas and reduce the trade deficit. To achieve this he needs a weaker dollar. Trump also wants a strong dollar and will not brook any challenges to its near monopoly of international payments. Can he possibly have both? Trump’s Problem No.1: His announced tariffs will […]

A Message for 2025: DiEM25 predicted Europe’s fall – plus what we must do next 

, 30/12/2024

Hello everyone. This is a message on behalf of DiEM25, the paneuropean movement that came together in Berlin when it was still possible to dream of reversing the degeneration of the European Union into an austerity union that drags the peoples of Europe down into a quagmire of naked exploitation of People and Nature, rampant […]

My reply to Chris Giles celebration of the eurozone bailouts in the Financial Times

, 13/12/2024

@ChrisGiles (Financial Times) decided to have some fun by celebrating “The astonishing success of Eurozone bailouts”, using Greece as the poster girl/boy of that exercise in futility, the EU’s most spectacular failure. With such friendly scribblers, Europe has no need for sworn enemies! His evidence? That Greece, the basket case of the euro crisis, reported […]

Brian Eno’s & Yanis Varoufakis’ Open Letter to the Judges of the ICC, on the anniversary of 7th October: Act now or International Law withers forever

, 07/10/2024

OPEN LETTER TO THE JUDGES OF THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT 7th October 2024 Dear Judges of the International Criminal Court, When we heard in January that the Court on which you sit had decided to hear the case concerning the situation in Israel-Palestine, we were encouraged. Humanity needs an International Criminal Court that upholds the […]

A European War Union? – Project Syndicate op-ed

, 22/04/2024

Advocates of European unity used to celebrate the European Union as a peace project. But well before Russia invaded Ukraine, the European vision of a peaceful road to shared prosperity had begun to frazzle, and now the invasion has facilitated the EU’s mutation into something much uglier. ATHENS – Europe has become unrecognizable. Advocates of […]

My Berlin speech on Palestine that German police entered the venue to ban – and whose publication here led to my being banned from Germany!

, 13/04/2024

Watch/read the speech that I could not deliver because German police burst into our Berlin venue to disband our Palestine Congress (1930s style) before I could address the meeting. Today, because I dared publish this speech here, the Ministry of Interior issued a “Betätigungsverbot” against me, a ban on any political activity. Not just a […]

Greece, EU elections, Palestine & the International Order – JACOBIN interview with David Broder

, 01/04/2024

Yanis Varoufakis’s new film series explains how elites used the financial crisis to terrorize Europe’s populations into submission. In this interview, he tells Jacobin why the anti-austerity movement failed and why the center is converging with the far right. Debt is to capitalism what hell is to Christianity: unpleasant, and essential.” Speaking in his new documentary […]
