World Without Liberal Democracy

Piotr Beniuszys and Liberte/November 25, 2019 /Leave a comment

This article shall serve as a cautionary tale about the fact that if liberal democracy collapses, even liberally-minded people may dismiss democracy and promote liberty-oriented meritocracy, which would cut off numerous citizens from politics – sometimes, for their own good.

30 Years after Velvet Revolution: “When – If Not Now? Who – If Not Us?”

Detmar Doering and Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom/November 19, 2019 /Leave a comment

PM Orbán’s Move Towards Putin 

Toni Skoric and Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom/November 8, 2019November 8, 2019 /Leave a comment

PM Orbán has already met the Russian head of state seven times since the Ukrainian crisis began. The more Orbán foments the conflict with the EU, the greater the chance for Russia under Vladimir Putin to influence the diplomatic balance within the EU in his favor.

Brussels-Style Grilling

Martin Panek and Liberalni Institute/November 5, 2019 /Leave a comment

Hearings, even outside the grilling season, are done in a similar fashion. When a committee invites a guest for an “exchange of views”, the way it is handled in the committee is by and large the same. MEPs are lectured by the Committee Chair how to use their five-minute slot and how to ask a question.

Self-Reflecting Helps Citizens Become Better People [Interview with Francesca Grippa]

Olga Labendowicz, Francesca Grippa and Liberte/October 15, 2019October 15, 2019 /Leave a comment

Overall, the incentive system for citizens needs to change deeply. If you reward people for the wrong reasons, there will be no way out. Which is why the rise of social enterprise, which cares about different stakeholders (including societies and environment), is such a positive phenomenon.

Projekt Polska/August 2, 2019August 8, 2019 /Leave a comment

Poland, Latvia, and Estonia started their rainbow revolutions much later than the West – when Stonewell riots happened in NYC, all three countries were still deep in the communist regime with no hope for emancipation.
