The tumultuous start to 2026 should force a reckoning in Brussels and European capitals, and a recognition of the power the EU can exert Another week, another set of dilemmas for Europe’s beleaguered political class to deal with. On Wednesday Brussels is due to outline the terms of the €90bn loan it has promised to Ukraine, amid internal tensions over whether Kyiv can use the money to buy US as well as EU weapons. On the same day, the US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, is due to meet ministers from Denmark and Greenland, as Donald Trump continues to insist that the US will take ownership of the latter “one way or another”. And as the body count of protesters rises in Iran, the EU is under mounting pressure to do more than merely “monitor” the situation, as the European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, somewhat feebly put it over the weekend. Beyond the crisis management, a deeper reckoning is overdue after a tumultuous beginning to 2026. It has long been a truism that there is a profound mismatch between the EU’s economic heft and its geopolitical clout. But only a year into Mr Trump’s second term, the disjunction looks unsustainable in the “America first” era. Do you have an opinion on the issues raised in this article?

"Hundreds of residents of the megatoma (informal settlement) in San Antonio province in the Valparaiso region of Chile confronted riot police on Monday to prevent the eviction of land owned by Inmobiliaria San Antonio S.A., which for years has been occupied by hundreds of families without legal permission. Footage filmed on January 12 shows a confrontation between San Antonio residents and Chilean National Police riot officers. Using stones, wood, and firecrackers, the residents managed to push back the security forces. An estimated 2,000 families are facing eviction. According to residents, occupying the land is a desperate measure due to the lack of access to dignified housing. 'We have to have housing. Just as the State does not give us housing, we have to take it (the land). But the rich have everything fenced in this country,' said Marco Aurelio Gonzalez, a San Antonio resident. The government and the owners tried to negotiate a solution so that part of the land could be sold and developed for formal housing through cooperatives. However, these negotiations were not successful, and it was decided to expropriate 100 hectares for a housing project, while the remaining 115 hectares will be subject to eviction. Residents insist that their struggle is not about illegality, but about necessity. 'We are fighting for land since the State does not give it, does not give a plot, does not give us a dignified house. Because here the rich are the ones who rule this country,' argued Marco Aurelio Gonzalez. The housing deficit in Chile and the high cost of buying or renting pushes low-income citizens to seek irregular housing alternatives through the occupation of public or private land. In Chile, these are known as tomas or camps, mainly located on surrounding hills, which develop improvisationally and over time become large residential areas without public services and outside State control. According to data from the organization Techo Chile in 2024, there are 1,428 settlements of this type in the country where 120,584 families live, almost half a million people. "
