‘Italy will not be an accomplice of human trafficking,’ argued Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini.

What we can say is that in America, lockdowns are unpopular, wokeness won’t win elections, election integrity cannot be dismissed as ‘racist’, and the future of the Republican Party is DeSantis.

The right-wing bloc, led by former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his national-liberal Likud party, came out as the clear winner of the Israeli election. While Netanyahu’s main religious Zionist allies gained an impressive number of seats, Israel’s ‘old left’ literally shrank to the brink of nonexistence.

Was Stepan Bandera a Nazi collaborator or a martyr of Ukrainian independence? Selective Ukrainian collective memory can hardly provide an answer.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has been re-elected by an unusually large margin, performing especially well among the traditionally left-leaning Hispanics. His victory shows that standing up to wokeness and corporate interests pays off and may also pave the way for his nomination in the 2024 presidential race.

Part of the Republican Party is growing increasingly sceptical of supporting Ukraine with military and financial aid. If the GOP wins the midterm elections in November, the channelling of American funds to Ukraine might slow down.

On Monday, Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán gave an extensive interview to Budapester Zeitung. He detailed how the government is complying with the European Commission’s requests, and how the Hungarian opposition weaponizes EU institutions.

In its latest stand against Ottawa’s overreach, Alberta seeks to limit the power of federal jurisdiction within the province by passing the Alberta Sovereignty Act.

For years, nuclear energy has received the same treatment as nuclear weapons: green movements and climate fundamentalists have been trying to prevent its proliferation.

With the victory of Giorgia Meloni and the rise of the centre-right in Italy, Warsaw and Budapest have gained another important ally in their pursuit of a European conservative renaissance.

While Abe has become the face of Japan in the 2010s thanks to his unprecedently long tenure as PM, his state funeral stirred controversy and debate at home, which shows that his legacy is divided at home.

Reclaiming Europe’s medieval history will be an essential task for those of us seeking to preserve the foundations of Judeo-Christian civilization and culture.

Brazil is facing presidential elections on Sunday. The outcome of the clash of the titans, Bolsonaro and Lula, who seem to be complete political opposites, will have a huge impact on the country, yet holds few consequences for the world.

Giorgia Meloni’s stunning victory was branded as the ‘return of fascism’ by pundits across Europe. While FdI’s connection with historical fascism is a complicated issue, calling the party fascist today speaks only of short-sighted ignorance.

What works well in painting does not necessarily work well in politics, law and international relations. It’s time to make the details count instead of vague ‘impressions’ and the elusive ‘overall picture.’

A Hungarian model does exist, and is worth presenting to other conservative communities out there as an example to learn from.

Fidesz’s series of local government victories continued this weekend as two of the three by-elections held on Sunday were won by the ruling party’s candidates.

In a recent speech Ursula von der Leyen named Ukraine, Moldova, and Georgia as countries without whom the EU is not complete. She, on the other hand, only referred to the Western Balkans as a bloc, despite the fact that the accession of Albania, Kosovo, Montenegro and Serbia should be a priority considering the EU’s security interests.

The prolongation of the war in Ukraine and the challenges to Russia’s military strength may lead to more armed conflicts all over the post-Soviet sphere, as countries in the region try to capitalise on Russia’s weakness.

The EC president would punish voters should the left not win the election in Italy this Sunday. How utterly democratic of her.

On Sunday, by-elections were held in Budapest. The Fidesz candidates defeated their left-wing opponents in two of the three constituencies.

Being unsuccessful at overthrowing Orbán, the EU has shifted its strategy to attacking the prime minister’s immigration policy and the libel laws. 

The Soviet leader became a historical figure by fulfilling most everything that originally was not on his political agenda. And for which he is still admired in much of the world, but not in his own country.

Although Putin was the first world leader Xi Jinping met with outside China since the outbreak of the pandemic, Beijing is probably more interested in a West divided over Ukraine than in Russia itself.

It has become fashionable to portray Member States’ right of veto as a prehistorical tool, which prevents the EU from functioning efficiently. In reality, unanimous decision-making is a key condition for joint EU action in the most sensitive areas, which should be valued rather than defeated.

After Brussels’ deception, Warsaw seems to be siding with Budapest again, and also seeking to revitalise the regional V4 cooperation.

Russia is turning to Iran and North Korea due to Western sanctions preventing its access to cutting-edge technology. Rapprochement between these countries, however, does certainly not serve the interest of the West.

When we think of the scale of suffering the war in Ukraine has been causing worldwide, it is hard to believe that Kyiv all but finalised a peace agreement with Moscow as early as April, less than two months into the war, only to be pressured by the West to drop it. Recent revelations strongly suggest that this might be the case.

Although Israel is stronger than ever, the permanent existential threat the Jewish State has had to endure is still present. The stakes are particularly high, both for Israel and its allies in the wider world. Benjamin Netanyahu offers known solutions to current challenges, answers that proved to be right in the past thirteen years. This November might well be the month of the return of Israel’s longest serving prime minister.

Liz Truss has been announced as the new Prime Minister of Britain after two months of political uncertainty which saw a spike in energy costs and protests and walkouts by tens of thousands of workers.
