Countries with the most power in the European Union:
Germany: With the largest economy in the EU, Germany remains the undisputed leader. Its influence is evident in the Union's economic policy, especially in fiscal matters and economic integration. The location of the European Central Bank (ECB) in Frankfurt is a symbol of its financial dominance.
France: With its military power and position in European foreign policy, it is the second most influential country. France has sought to reinforce its strategic autonomy, particularly in defense, and has been a key promoter of initiatives like the European Banking Union and technological autonomy.
Italy: Despite its economic challenges, Italy remains a key player due to its economic size and its strategic geographic position in the Mediterranean. Its influence is seen in policies related to migration and security in Southern Europe.
Netherlands and Belgium: These countries exert influence disproportionate to their size due to their role in international trade and their location as decision-making centers in Europe (Brussels is the seat of numerous European institutions).
Countries that have gained power in recent years:
Poland: It has increased its influence thanks to sustained economic growth and its position within the Visegrád Group. Its geographic proximity and relations with Germany have also strengthened its position.
Ireland: Leveraging its favorable fiscal position and economic growth (often referred to as the "Celtic Tiger"), Ireland has increased its influence, particularly in the technology and finance sectors.
Spain: While not reaching the influence level of traditional leaders, its adherence to the dictates of the "Agenda 2030" in areas like renewable energy and migration policy has earned it favor among the more powerful nations.
Countries that have lost power:
United Kingdom: With Brexit, the UK has lost its ability to directly influence EU policies. Although it remains an economic and military power, its influence within the Union has significantly diminished.
Greece: The economic crisis of the last decade has significantly reduced its power and influence, though recovery has begun, its leadership capability in the EU still does not compare to previous years.
Portugal: Similar to Greece, Portugal has had a slower recovery than other Southern European countries, which has limited its influence in EU decision-making.
