Beware of those who would betray the proud Gascon. Obviously, Joe Wright, the American director who embarked on the highly questionable adventure of adapting Cyrano to the wokish style, must not have been aware of the risks involved.
A better strategy for the EU could be to clean up its own house first. The enormous amounts the EU spends on agriculture, a few hundred billion over seven years, heavily subsidize intensive agriculture, with 80% of EU cash going to 20% of the recipients.
Proponents of unity based on imperial and religious ties must remind their opponents of the tremendous pluralism that existed within that imperial administration under which much of their continent was once united.

Only bottom-up demands for accountability can strengthen Dutch liberal democracy.
Shaping public opinion is very hard without social media—and it is made worse when one is in conflict with social media. And because of such tendencies, which tend to dominate on the big platforms, public opinion eventually morphs into one single mold or mindset. It is ‘groupthink’ par excellence.
Today in France, taking a sovereignist line is unfortunately understood as Putinolatry, and it is extremely difficult to hear a balanced point of view on what the positioning of a strong France in the international game should be.
The Hungarian elections, which will be closely watched by the international public, will be held in the spring of 2022. The situation—just before the start of the official campaign period—at a glance.
Conservatives, if they still go by that name, should not be bashful about re-asserting the university as a place of free thought and academic inquiry. If the prime minister wants to be taken seriously, he must guarantee that the bill immediately resumes its journey to the Queen’s desk.
The value-anchor idea is abstract in its nature, but that is necessary: the purpose here is not to develop a plug-and-play ready constitutional reform, but rather to establish a model by means of which such reforms can be developed.
The patronymic is primarily a symbol of continuity and transmission. With this new law, the idea of transmission of a symbolic heritage, that of the name, leaves the realm of designation to become the object of a choice subject to personal convenience.
Given the strategic dimension of the companies concerned, some former European leaders believe that remaining on their governing bodies indirectly supports Putin’s policies. Others are still working for Russian firms.
Russia has sensed opportunity, and will not let go easily now. The noose it has placed on Ukraine’s neck, which has been tightened as a result of Western actions, has now made it very difficult for that country to free itself.
Although articles in the French press have highlighted the scandalous nature of these appointments to the Constitutional Council, there has been no reaction at the European level.
It looks like the Chinese are beginning to suffer the consequences of their own central economic planning model.

It is time to discuss a conservative replacement for liberal democracy.
The purpose of the center-Right in Spain is to flank the Left’s agenda, but the regional elections in Castilla y Leon have revealed that its electorate is no longer willing to go along with this.
Protesting to assert our rights might give us a solution Achilles didn’t have when he contested Agamemnon’s authority. But we also lack something Achilles had—heroism—and so we find ourselves powerless.
“I am, under your criteria, considered to be anti-gender. Should I dis-activate myself, be eliminated from this hearing? I don’t think it seems to be very democratic in nature. Those who respect natural law are part of this society as well. We are pro-human dignity, pro-human beings, pro-human rights,” VOX MEP Margarita de la Pisa Carrión said at last week’s FEMM hearing.
The meeting between Olaf Scholz and Vladimir Putin made it clear that the West is no longer in the position to make demands to other world powers. The time has come to look inwards and protect our own values, rather than try to export them.
The consulting firm of the 21st century could well be the new face of the Soviet control commission—a machine with fixed codes and pre-formatted processes designed to mask facts and the banality of postmodern sovereignty.
Populism is a term often used to criticize conservatives. But when we take a closer look, those who use it don’t bother to define it. In fact, a closer look suggests that the term has no meaning of its own. All it means is—democracy.
Italy, it seems, has for some time abandoned politics and sanity and given full power to non-elected technocrats and politicians. Giorgia Meloni offers a way back to normalcy.
These attacks on the rights of the unborn child are not isolated initiatives. They are well thought out and coordinated. A survey by the European Centre for Law and Justice reveals the existence of a real pro-abortion lobby within the European institutions.
There is nothing dramatic per se about a new party in the Riksdag. What is unique about the new party Nyans emerging in the 2022 election cycle is that it springs from the Islamist environment in Sweden.
More than any other ideological current in the political landscape, libertarianism exhibits a phenomenal penchant for splinter-grouping. Today, they pitch a big tent shared by abortion advocates, drug legalizers, Rothbard-inspired anarcho-capitalists, and Ayn Rand objectivists.
