🇪🇺 Monday’s Continental Catch‑Up: Water Wars, War Crimes & Arctic Alliances

It’s a spicy start to the week across the EU: in Spain, fed-up locals in Barcelona and Mallorca are blasting tourists with water guns to protest mass tourism’s impact on housing and public space; in Germany, a landmark trial saw a Syrian doctor sentenced to life for war crimes under Assad’s regime—marking a major win for justice via universal jurisdiction; and in the icy north, President Macron made a rare visit to Greenland to show EU solidarity in the Arctic, quietly swatting away old U.S. ambitions over the island.
