DOGE blocked a $52 million payment from going to the World Economic Forum.

​In a bold move reflecting its commitment to fiscal responsibility, the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by tech mogul Elon Musk, has blocked a $52 million payment intended for the World Economic Forum (WEF). This decision underscores DOGE’s mission to scrutinize and eliminate federal expenditures deemed unnecessary or misaligned with taxpayer interests.

Established under President Donald Trump’s administration, DOGE has been tasked with streamlining government operations and reducing wasteful spending. Since its inception, the department has terminated numerous federal contracts and implemented significant budgetary reforms. The recent action to halt the $52 million payment to the WEF aligns with DOGE’s ongoing efforts to ensure that public funds are allocated effectively and transparently.​

The blocked payment has sparked discussions among policymakers and the public alike. Supporters of the decision argue that it reflects a necessary reevaluation of international commitments, especially those lacking direct benefits to American citizens. Critics, however, express concerns over potential diplomatic repercussions and the message it sends regarding the U.S.’s role in global economic dialogues.

Elon Musk’s leadership at DOGE has been characterized by assertive measures aimed at overhauling federal spending practices. In a recent interview, Musk highlighted the challenges faced in combating entrenched inefficiencies, stating, “It turns out when you take away the money they’re receiving fraudulently they get very upset. They basically want to kill me because I’m stopping their fraud.” ​

This move to block the WEF payment is part of a broader strategy by DOGE to reassess and prioritize government expenditures. By scrutinizing allocations to international organizations, DOGE aims to redirect resources toward domestic initiatives that directly benefit the American populace.​

As the conversation around this decision unfolds, it highlights the ongoing debate between fiscal conservatism and international collaboration. The long-term implications of DOGE’s actions will likely influence future policies on government spending and international engagement.​

Breaking: Judge Rules Marine Le Pen Ineligible to Run For President in 2027 in Latest Blow to Democracy in Europe

A judge has ruled Marine Le Pen is ineligible to run for office, along with eight MEPs from her National Rally party, after they were found guilty of misappropriation of EU funds. The move is the latest attack on democracy in the EU, with judges increasingly deciding elections in Europe. Le Pen has also been sentenced to four years in prison, with two years suspended.

Notably, the news comes right as Le Pen leads the polling for French presidential elections in 2027, as Remix News reported earlier today.

The court estimated that the total losses amounted to €2.9 million, as a result of “paying by the European Parliament people who actually worked for the far-right party.” Le Pen was found to be responsible for €1.8 million in damages herself. The judgment also concerns 12 assistants. The prosecutor’s office initially alleged that €7 million had been used in this way.

Investigators accused Le Pen of managing the illegal use of European subsidies between 2004 and 2016, when she served as an MEP. They stated that instead of working in Strasbourg, assistants were to work for Le Pen’s National Rally party in a domestic capacity.

“It was found that all these people actually worked for the party, that their deputy did not commission them any tasks,” said the judge. Assistants then “passed from one deputy to another.”

“It was not about combining the work of assistants, but about combining the budgets of MPs,” said the judge.

Le Pen said before the trial that the matter is entirely political and that her opponents wished for her “political death.”

Other commentators have expressed surprise at not only the verdict but also the decision to exclude her from elections.

Pierre Lellouche, a lawyer and former Deputy of the French National Assembly, appeared on CNEWS to point out that the current prime minister, François Bayrou, faced the same charge and suffered no consequences. 

“Then, last but not least, there is the case of (François) Bayrou, the current prime minister, who has been prosecuted for exactly the same thing, i.e., for abuses of party funding declared as parliamentary assistants in Europe, at the EU parliament. Bayrou emerged from this affair without being in the least concerned. In fact, the public prosecutor’s office has once again referred the matter to the courts, but even so, we’re dealing with a double standard here. It’s a bit surprising.”

He noted that the “separation of powers” is increasingly shifting towards judges, and noted that in many previous elections, these judges have tipped the scales in favor of certain candidates.

“We’re finding that more and more, everything is getting mixed up, everywhere. Look at Trump, who had seven judges behind him, and that didn’t stop him from winning. Finally, Strauss-Kahn was eliminated, Fillon was eliminated by a somewhat untimely and rapid indictment at the time of the presidential election, which allowed Mr. Macron to govern the country for seven years after all, which is no mean feat. Especially since, in the Fillon affair, the public prosecutor subsequently indicated that this was not entirely neutral and that the Élysée was particularly interested in this case. So you see, there is a separation of powers, but at the moment, power is shifting to the judges, and that can have a huge impact.”

Another attorney, Maxime Thiebaut, also brought up the case of Bayrou, saying:

“At the very least, you know, it comes as a surprise that Marine Le Pen has been found guilty. I would point out that Mr. (François) Bayrou was acquitted on a similar charge, because it was considered that he had not acted with intent. So I wasn’t in Mr. Bayrou’s file and I wasn’t in Ms. Le Pen’s file, but I note that there was also an expectation that Madame Le Pen would be guilty. We all know very well that when you’re the leader of a political party, you’re pretty far removed from the actual running of the party. Mr. Bayrou was recognized by Ms. Le Pen. Is it political or not? I don’t know and I won’t give my opinion on that.”

This is not the only such case either, with Romania banning the presidential frontrunner, Călin Georgescu, from running for president as well as arresting him.

“Riconversione auto verso la difesa”: Stellantis come Volkswagen?/ Urso: “pronti a incentivare le aziende”

Attesa audizione Elkann in Parlamento sul futuro di Stellantis: ipotesi riconversione settore auto verso riarmo-difesa, il possibile piano (come Volkswagen)

“LA DISCESA A ROMA” DI ELKANN: ATTESA MERCOLEDÌ L’AUDIZIONE ALLA CAMERA

Dopo le polemiche e lo scontro istituzionale con Palazzo Chigi, la pace sembra tornata tra Stellantis di John Elkann e il Governo Meloni che attende ora per mercoledì 19 marzo 2025 l’audizione alla Camera (ore 14.30) davanti alle commissioni Attività Produttive e Industria (del Senato). Al centro il futuro di investimenti, impianti, posti di lavoro e linea produttiva del comparto automotive di Stellantis: di per sé sarebbe un tema importante ma “ristretto” nelle normali dinamiche tra Stato e aziende-multinazionali, ma l’evoluzione dei scenari internazionali impone un riflettore in più su quanto potrà dire John Elkann davanti ai parlamentari.

Mentre dalla Germania arrivano le prime avvisaglie e conseguenze del maxi-piano di riarmo presentato dalla Commissione Europea di Ursula Von der Leyen – con Volkswagen che ha lasciato intendere di poter considerare l’ipotesi di riconversione di parte del settore automotive per l’industria della difesa – l’eventuale interessamento di Stellantis amplierebbe il dossier “riarmo” tra le forti resistenze di sindacati e lavoratori, e i piani politici che proseguono da Bruxelles con il “placet” (per ora) del Governo Meloni.

Se dunque parte dell’audizione sarà dedicata giocoforza al futuro della produzione dell’ex Fca-Fiat in Italia, non va nascosto l’interessa spasmodico che non solo il Governo italiano ma anche i vertici UE ripongono nelle scelte che potrebbe fare il ceo Elkann per aderire (oppure no) al progetto di riconversione di parte dell’industria automobilistica. Il semi-flop del percorso di transizione “green” che ha portato al collasso di quasi tutti i colossi dell’auto europei impone una soluzione diversa per il prossimo futuro: invece però di tornare sui propri passi, al momento l’Unione Europea sembra puntare tutto sul piano da 800 miliardi di euro per investire a spron battuto sulla difesa.

LE STRATEGIE DI STELLANTIS, IL PIANO DI “RICONVERSIONE” AUTO-DIFESA E L’INCENTIVO DEL GOVERNO MELONI

Finora né Volkswagen né Stellantis hanno confermato le “voci” sulla possibilità di attuare un piano di riconversione verso l’industria pesante bellica, ma tra gli analisi e gli esperti del settore non sono pochi i “rumors” in merito. Da Roma il progetto del Governo Meloni è quello di contrastare il più possibile gli effetti di una ulteriore crisi dell’auto, provando a trovare alternative per salvaguardare l’occupazione e la produzione degli stabilimenti.

Sebbene per nulla convinti della bontà del piano Von der Leyen, in queste ore a Palazzo Chigi e presso il Ministero del Made in Italy (ex MISE), secondo il “Corriere della Sera” si starebbe provando a ipotizzare un piano che coinvolga Stellantis nel convertire parte della linea auto in materiali e investimenti per la difesa. Sempre secondo le fonti riportate in questi giorni da “Corriere”, “Milano Finanza” e “Sole 24 ore”, i piani di intervento per il riarmo potrebbero essere due: o un’effettiva adesione alla riconversione in alcuni stabilimenti (quelli più in sofferenza, come Cassino ad esempio), oppure una partecipazione più “light” con servizi di consulenza e lato ingegneristico.

Nel frattempo le parole dette oggi dal Ministro delle Imprese Adolfo Urso svelano parte di questo indirizzo preso dal Governo di Centrodestra alla vigilia dell’audizione dell’amministratore delegato di Stellantis in Parlamento: sarebbero già pronti gli incentivi per convincere l’industria dell’auto ad avviare alcuni dei propri comparti verso la difesa, ma anche l’aerospazio e la blue economy, con anche progetti per la cybersicurezza.

In poche parole, per provare ad ovviare alla crisi del settore, si prova una riconversione a 360° gradi: «il nostro obiettivo è mettere in sicurezza le imprese e tutelare i lavoratori», ha spiegato lo scorso 14 marzo dopo il tavolo del MIMIT sul problema dell’automotive. Niente più Ecobonus per i veicoli elettrici, bensì possibilità di incentivi per componentistica in modo da aiutare le imprese in una maggiore «diversificazione produttiva».
