This year, ‘pride’ activists in Italy have focused more on attacking Meloni’s government than on celebrating the LGBT community.

Should Germany follow through with its censorship policies, a legal clash will be inevitable. But for now, the right to pray and gather peacefully has been affirmed.

For all its talk of rule of law and democracy, the EU appears determined to ‘fix’ its broken migration system by politically punishing the very countries that have done the most to prevent the problem. Later this week, we’ll find out how European leaders who disagree with this process intend to push back.

Colombia’s business class used to believe that workers had dignity, that not every action should be cost efficient and paid for, and that, while being profitable was indeed a constant concern and priority, it was not the sole mission of a corporation.

The conservative tendency to leave the public square and the realm of art—the mural—blank for someone else to paint on has done society no favours.

The populist Right in charge of Austria for the first time ever? Communists in parliament? It’s not just a hypothetical: it’s currently the most likely scenario for 2024.

Christians, conservatives, and all those who do not fall into line with the dominant lines of culture should seize this moment and make works of art that are informed by tradition.

Poland very much feels like a country that’s accelerating towards the awful competition of ideologies that has engulfed the rest of the West.

Time may yet tell what Prigozhin was thinking when he launched his insurrection. But he probably did not expect it to end with his flight from the country, the loss of his militia, and extreme personal vulnerability to Putin’s vindictive hand.

Despite differences in their aesthetic grooves, the ‘Ultra MAGA’ Trumpist Republicans of CPAC and the DeSantis-leaning National Conservatives have plenty in common in terms of what they oppose, and what they would prefer to see supplant the current order.
The letter’s vision of universality tries to argue for the nation as an important element of a universal moral and ethical vision, but by skipping over the nation entirely when it describes the common good rising from families to the international realm, it reveals its bias against it.
The Greek government has the cost of its current debt under control. However, what gives cause to worry is its soon-to-come need to build up new debt.
Today, the unitary ideal is dead, and factionalism is baked into any serious understanding of British politics.
The defenders of human dignity are clenching their teeth at the implacable scenario unfolding before their eyes. It is written, euthanasia will pass. For the moment, the vast majority of the French political class is silent on the matter.
In an analysis of the Ukrainian army’s counterattack, I discuss its use of an ancient eastern battle tactic in a way never seen in Europe before—and its strategic use of mistakes made by a careless Russian leadership.
When a currency depreciates, it can lead to a self-reinforcing outflow of capital—especially when the depreciation is unprecedented. The euro has never been this weak against the dollar.
Patriotism and the attachment to national products are not the only reason American giants have failed in Italy. The local offer persists, because it is genuinely superior in every way to the foreign offer, and marketing snobbery is not enough to overcome this obstacle.
Conservatives have tended to mistake politicians touting ‘individualism’ and ‘economic liberalism’ for champions against ‘wokism.’ Madrid’s Díaz Ayuso is a clear example.
