As Europe stands at a crossroads, Central and Eastern Europe’s role remains too undervalued in policy discussions. Young liberals bring valuable perspectives and solutions, and want to be included in shaping the response to the current challenges affecting this strategic region.

Right-wing populism has been on the rise in Europe, and despite some exceptions, it doesn’t seem to be backing out. The group of people that seems to be most convinced by radical right-wing ideas is the youth - people aged 18 to 29. In the US, however, an unexpected change in this regard was initiated by Zohran Mamdani, currently mayor-elect of NYC. In the recent mayoral election 78% of people aged 18-29 voted for Mamdani, a democratic socialist.  

Poland stands at a critical juncture in its energy transformation. While the country has made significant strides in promoting renewable energy adoption through EU-funded subsidy programs, a recent policy analysis reveals that deep-rooted barriers continue to prevent many Polish households from going green.

EUROPEUM and JustGreen project invite you to join us for a dynamic discussion bringing together researchers from across the V4 region to explore one of today’s most pressing questions: How do national housing renovation plans match up with reality—and what must change for them to succeed?

By virtue of the fact that I chair the Children and Youth Affairs Committee in the Polish Sejm, the most acute problem for me is the living conditions and development of the youngest social group. Children and young people are an integral part of society.

The new Trump administration’s recent political offensive targeted at the European Union, as well as its fairly ambiguous approach towards the question of the Russo-Ukrainian war, have led Brussels to initiate a desperate search for EU-based solutions within the sphere of security and defense. Decision-making processes stretching over the past few months have undergone a sudden acceleration.

Twenty years ago, politics was the domain of debate, analysis, and long-form interviews. But today, in an era of short-form content and the dominance of TikTok in particular, has it become a spectacle? Algorithms favor viral content, politicians adapt to trends, and voters make decisions based on catchy messages rather than in-depth arguments.

Deregulation has been a loaded word among many European politicians and experts lately, with growing discussions on reducing bureaucracy and easing the burden on citizens and businesses. However, is this often-used term and concept actually feasible? And how has progress been made on this so far? It has undoubtedly become a European trend, discussed not only by EU leaders but also within EU institutions.

Who will be the next president of Poland, one of the largest European nations? The presidential election in Poland has not yet been scheduled but is expected to take place in May 2025. However, it is already making headlines across the country. The Polish president, who serves a 5-year term, has a largely representative role but is also responsible for signing and vetoing legislation and exercising legislative initiative.
