The incoming Dutch government led by Geert Wilders' far-right PVV party has reaffirmed support for Ukraine "politically, militarily, financially, and morally against Russian aggression," it said in a statement on May 16. The Netherlands held an election in November 2023, which saw the PVV emerge as the largest force in parliament with 37 seats. Not enough to take power alone, weeks of negotiations were finally resolved this week with the announcement of an uneasy four-party coalition described as a "business government" arrangement. The four parties – PVV, the center-right VVD and NSC, and the...

I first watched the Eurovision Song Contest when I was 11 years old. It was the year Moldova participated for the first time, and Zdob si Zdub's “Grandma” managed to secure 6th place. Since then, I have become one of the competition’s biggest fans. Today, Eurovision continues to be the most exciting European event of the year for hundreds of millions who tune in to watch the show in May, uniting people on the European continent and beyond through music. However, Eurovision left a bitter taste for me and my friends this year, tarnishing what should have been a joyous occasion. Amidst the mishap...

EU ambassadors have agreed on an EU-wide ban on four key Russian propaganda outlets, said Rikard Jozwiak, the Europe Editor for Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), on May 15. The move would reportedly impact Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Voice of Europe, RIA Novosti, and Izvestiya, Jozwiak said. Czechia's government announced in March that it uncovered a Moscow-financed propaganda network linked to Ukrainian oligarch Viktor Medvedchuk, which used Voice of Europe to spread disinformation. Rossiyskaya Gazeta and RIA Novosti are both Russian state-owned outlets, and Izvestiya is state-controlled. The...

In recent months, tractors have rolled through European cities as farmers protested against the EU’s agricultural policy. The EU's rapid response, which involved rolling back environmental regulations on agricultural subsidies, misses the mark. This approach is a superficial fix that fails to address the underlying problems: aggressive lobbying by extreme right groups manipulating the narrative and the misuse of EU agricultural funds by member states. A new WWF report highlights an uncomfortable truth amidst the growing cost-of-living crisis: EU member states allocate between €34 billion and €...

Scientists are urging European governments to take action as climate change takes hold, increasing heat-related deaths across the continent. Europe is the fastest-warming continent with temperatures rising roughly twice the global average, according to recently published reports from the World Meteorological Organisation and the EU's climate agency Copernicus. A group of public health experts and statisticians from institutions across Europe have created models to analyse how temperature extremes can change the risk of mortality based on the effects of climate change over the past two decades....

For the past five years Nicholas Schmit has held the Jobs and Social Rights portfolio in the Ursula von der Leyen-led European Commission. Why has he decided to run for presidency of the EU's executive body? "I think that after the five years where we tried to put social [agenda] at the centre, I thought that there was still more to be done. I think this is the right moment for social democracy to get the Commission [presidency] after such a long period, because we had for 30 years, well for 25 years, conservative presidents of the commission. It's time for change. A time of uncertainty for EU...
