The corruption investigation in the European Union has expanded beyond the Qatar scandal, with Bank of France official Sylvie Goulard stepping down amid bribery and influence-peddling allegations. Simultaneously, Russian media reports have highlighted controversial comments by former Chancellor Angela Merkel regarding the Minsk agreements. Some analysts suggest these unfolding scandals indicate the EU is currently under significant political and economic pressure.

The Yellow Vest protests in France entered their tenth weekend, with some activists proposing a coordinated bank run to destabilize the financial system. The current unrest is compared to the Revolutions of 1848, a period of widespread political upheaval across Europe. President Emmanuel Macron has criticized the protesters for demanding benefits without effort.
