Quick Glance: Increase in UK defence spending by 2030
  • Prime Minister Rishi Sunak commits to raising spending to 2.5% of GDP, putting the defence industry on a 'war footing'.

  • Sunak emphasized the need for deeper stockpiles of munitions and quicker replenishment due to the events in the Ukraine conflict.

  • The planned increase in defence spending would require significant financial reshuffling, partly through announced measures to reduce the size of the civil service.

  • Shortly after announcing the pledge to send weapons worth 500 million pounds to Ukraine, this commitment followed.

EU recovery money reaches Poland as Tusk delivers on key promise
Quick Glance: Poland's Strategy for EU Recovery Grants and Law Change to Boost Investments
  • With a little over two years left to spend European Union recovery money, Poland is firmly focusing on maximizing the smaller grants portion of the program, while viewing cheap loans as a secondary component.

  • Poland is expected to receive 6 billion euros from recovery funds on Monday, and Prime Minister Donald Tusk's government is revising the national reconstruction plan to list projects and reforms aimed for approval by Brussels this month.

  • To expedite investments, the Polish government is also working on amending existing laws to avoid converting all incoming euro-denominated funds into Polish zlotys, with a decision expected either this month or next.

  • However, some economists caution that investor optimism regarding the inflow of funds may be excessive, especially with the upcoming Polish presidential elections next year potentially impacting the implementation of necessary reforms to ensure the continuous flow of funds.

Quick Glance: AfD-Russia Money Affair: Party Leadership Backs Bystron
  • AfD MP Petr Bystron is questioned by the party's federal board regarding allegations of receiving money from the Putin circle. Bystron denies the accusations and receives support from the party leadership.

  • Bystron is suspected of receiving money in cash in Prague or through cryptocurrencies. The Bundestag administration and the Munich Public Prosecutor's Office are investigating the allegations. Bystron has denied the reports in contradictory wordings.

  • Despite the accusations, the federal board emphasizes Bystron's innocence and requests evidence. Internal discussions on sanctions do not lead to immediate actions, as the list for the European elections cannot be changed.

  • While some party colleagues trust Bystron, others find his behavior untrustworthy. Bystron himself feels validated by the support of the federal board and accuses the Czech government of a conspiracy.
