No mentioning of the reform and a bit of securitization of democracy. The new Commissioners will hardly be busy with a democratic reform in the EU. More details in the commentary of our Observatory experts.
How does democracy feature in the plans of the new Commission? Our experts @J_Greubel and @javierccll discuss how the new Commission understands democracy and how its take might affect future actions. Read more: Papers – Conference Observatory ( https://t.co/azab9emnIy)

The situation has quite some potential to stress enormously state-society relations in Russia. So far, Putin has only promised every victim a lump sum of 10.000 roubles (100 USD). But the social contract can be cracking. 5/5

Plus, the citizens criticise the local authorities for corruption and not doing anything. Also traditional Russian power relations template: the tsar is good, hears and saves, but the bureaucrats and locals steal and sabotage. 4/5

We did our part, now you do yours because there are NATO foreign troops on our lands. The term ‚land‘ is very telling here: in Russian, it gives away how Putin and these people talk to each other. They talk about ‚land‘, not state but land 3/5

So far their speeches have rather been ‚pleas for help‘, not an angry request to defend them or (perhaps) even negotiate and stop the war. But what’s interesting is that they say: we did our part, we supported the war and the army (read - you). 2/5

A short thread on the situation in Russia, in Kursk - a brief reflection on what Russian citizens ask from Putin. Now citizens who lost their houses and belongings because of the fighting record their video messages to Putin, the content is interesting. 1/5

Reading through UvdL's just published political guidelines: '... the Treaty change where it can improve our Union'. Hardly any serious political committment to EU reform. #EUreform

The EU faces a 'democracy catch-22', magnified by the far-right challenge. My new article suggests a way to approach this that goes beyond the standard engage-versus-isolate binary. @eudemocracyhub @Carnegie_Europe

The political debate in Europe is increasingly focused on whether to engage or isolate radical-right parties. A European democracy pact could help the EU mitigate the growing risk to liberal plural...

Important and timely poll from our colleagues at @eupinions Could that mean that we will witness a high voter turnover at #EuropeanElections in a month? Check the results!
60% der Eurpäer:innen möchten im Juni an der #Europawahl teilnehmen - das zeigen die neuen Zahlen aus unseren @eupinions. Die Umfrage zeigt auch, dass 75% Kommissionspräsidentin #vonDerLeyen kennen. Damit ist sie bekannter als ihre Vorgänger.(vvw)

Financing the acquisition of @euronews, the major EU news outlet, and turning it into own propaganda tool is the ‚Putin level‘ move in terms of the scale of consequences.
Orbán’s meddling in European politics and media has reached a new level: @direkt36 with @lemondefr and @expresso reveals that Hungary’s government secretly financed the 2022 acquisition of @euronews with a clear plan to turn it into right-wing propaganda.

Such news has recently been more frequent. It’s reassuring to see that the European governments are actually delivering on the promise of fighting the foreign (Russian) disinformation.
