The EU can break a member state if it chooses to

The EU can inflict murderous financial punishment on states who don’t implement rulings of the European Court of Justice. This instrument has never been used to really hurt a member state – but legally, it can. Poland may soon become the first country to feel the pain. The political consequences could be disastrous for all concerned, including the EU itself.

"Hungarians in Transylvania could use a megaphone"

Current fellows of the Budapest Fellowship Program visited Transylvania between 13-17 June, 2021. During their stay, they had the chance to learn about the historical, political and cultural aspects of the past and present of Hungarians in Transylvania. We spoke with Nicole Nemeth, who has been conducting research on the rights of Hungarian minorities for the past ten months, focusing primarily on Transylvania. We were curious to know how she, as a researcher, lawyer and American citizen, sees issues such as autonomy, language and minority rights.

Cancel culture, the new European value

The European Council of 24-25 June 2021 was historical but not for the reasons you might think. Where some saw a vocal defence of “common values” against the umpteenth attack from the Hungarian government, others saw a worrying evolution amid the one-sided media noise: the official advent at the highest political level of cancel culture in the EU.

Broken Identity: The Realities of the Spanish Immigration Policy

Since 2015, the migration crisis has remained one of Europe’s most pressing challenges, sparking intense debate and diverging policy responses across the continent. While a few countries, such as Hungary, swiftly adopted a closed-border approach, most European nations initially embraced an open-door policy, driven by principles of solidarity, inclusion, and humanitarian responsibility. This divide in strategy has shaped political discourse, influenced public opinion, and continued to redefine Europe’s approach to migration.
