Žebříček vlivu europoslanců Institutu EUROPEUM

May 27, 2024

Institut EUROPEUM uspořádal anketu mezi vybranými experty a stakeholdery na evropskou politiku, která měla za cíl zhodnotit působení současných českých europoslanců. Činnost europoslanců je obtížné hodnotit, protože neexistuje zcela objektivní sada kritérií, která by to jasně ukazovala.

ČT24 | V debatě Spitzenkandidátů chyběli zástupci dvou frakcí

May 24, 2024

V debatě Spitzenkandidátů, tedy kandidátů na post předsedy Evropská komise, se proti sobě postavilo pět adeptů na tuto pozici. Dvě frakce svého zástupce vůbec nevyslaly. Navíc jsou to ty, které by mohly v evropských volbách oproti minulému období značně posílit. Chyběli tak zástupci krajně pravicové Identity a demokracie, jejímž členem je za Česko SPD, ale i Evropští konzervativci a reformisté, ve kterých sedí ODS. O tom, zda v debatě výrazně chyběli, mluvil ve vysílání ČT24 zástupce ředitele Institutu EUROPEUM Viktor Daněk.
