Visegrad/Insight | Traktory v trendu: Populisté z V4 si před volbami do EP přivlastnili protesty zemědělců

Populistické tábory v zemích Visegrádské čtyřky využily protesty zemědělců ve svých kampaních k červnovým volbám do Evropského parlamentu. Zásadní změna oproti posledním eurovolbám v roce 2019 je patrná ve formě sdělení politiků směrem k lidem. Sociální sítě přebírají důležitost klasických platforem, jako je televize, tisk nebo rozhlas.

Deník N | Will the rotation in NATO leadership involve the Czech Republic and Eastern Europe?

The countries of Eastern and Central Europe have so far, even after years of membership, still been overlooked. Poland is the only country from the region to have been awarded one of the bloc’s senior positions in the past with Donald Tusk and Jerzy Buzek leading the European Council and European Parliament respectively. Viktor Daněk, deputy director of the EUROPEUM Institute, spoke about the selections of candidates for Deník N.
