Der nationalkonservative Karol Nawrocki hat die denkbar knappe Präsidentschaftswahl in Polen knapp für sich entscheiden können. Sein Sieg könnte den Startschuss für die nächste Wahl in Polen gegeben haben - die um das Amt des Ministerpräsidenten.

On 26 March, the Commission and the European External Action Service (EEAS) jointly launched the new EU Preparedness Union Strategy, which will be presented in a joint meeting of the SEDE, ENVI, and LIBE committees, on 3 June. The strategy outlines how the EU aims to better anticipate, prevent and respond to risks such as cyberattacks, disinformation, and climate impacts.
The EU Preparedness Union Strategy is a direct follow-up to the Niinistö Report's recommendations on strengthening the EU's preparedness. It proposes 30 key actions and an Action Plan to improve Europe's ability to manage risks ranging from cyber threats and disinformation to climate change. The strategy calls for a shared European approach, recognising preparedness as not just a national but a Union-wide responsibility. It promotes a "preparedness by design" culture across all EU policies. The initiative is led by Commissioner Hadja Lahbib, responsible for equality, preparedness, and crisis management, including civil preparedness and international cooperation on disaster risk management. The strategy highlights the need for stronger coordination and resilience mechanisms across the EU in response to growing and complex threats.
