The latest issue of @Weltwoche , Switzerland’s long-established conservative weekly, puts the question of “Brussels tyranny” at the center of its coverage. Ursula von der Leyen appears on the cover, while inside, alongside contributions by Thomas Fazi and Jerzy Kwaśniewski, the magazine also features my article on Europe’s future and the historic mission of the European right. The timing of this issue is no coincidence. Switzerland is currently debating a new package of agreements with the European Union, known as Bilaterals III. For the Swiss, this raises a particularly important question: what kind of European Union do they want to build closer ties with? One that respects national sovereignty and self-determination, or one that seeks to concentrate ever more power in Brussels? Recent developments in Poland clearly demonstrate why this is far more than a theoretical debate. In his interview with the magazine, Jerzy Kwaśniewski describes the constitutional conflict of October 30 as a serious abuse of constitutional power. At the heart of the dispute lies the same fundamental question Hungary has faced for years: who has the final say over a nation’s constitutional order, its democratically mandated national institutions or the institutions of the European Union? In my article, I argue that the European right stands before a historic opportunity. Patriotic, conservative, and sovereigntist forces may differ on many issues, but today they share a political objective capable of uniting them: we must halt the concentration of power in Brussels and return decision-making powers to the nations of Europe. Resistance by individual member states, however, is not enough. We must build a political majority at the European level, bringing together patriotic forces from Northern, Southern, and Central Europe, capable of rebuilding European cooperation on new foundations. There can be no comprehensive reform of Europe without France and Germany. Cooperation between the right-wing forces of these two countries will therefore be crucial. The European People’s Party once understood that winning elections alone was not enough to shape European politics. It was necessary to build a lasting political alliance around a common program. Today’s European right must learn the same organizational and strategic lesson, but pursue precisely the opposite political objective. Our goal is not to dismantle the European Union, but to transform it. We want a Europe where the single market, infrastructure development, and the protection of external borders serve genuine common interests, while nations retain the freedom to decide for themselves on all matters that do not require action at the EU level. This requires a fundamental review of existing EU competences, the elimination of unnecessary regulation, and a stronger role for national parliaments. Article 48 of the Treaty on European Union explicitly allows for the reduction of EU competences. In other words, the obstacle to change is not legal, it is political. Hungary’s experience has also taught us that no single nation can reverse the direction of European integration on its own. This requires international cooperation, a common strategy, and political strength capable of making itself felt within the European institutions. The previous political generation built its majority around the vision of an “ever closer Union.” The task of our generation is to build a political majority for an “ever freer Union.” Because Europe’s future does not lie in a Brussels empire, but in a community of free, sovereign, and cooperating European nations. ✍️ weltwoche.de/story/europas-r…

Zatímco u nás bojujeme za poplatky, v Německu maji návrh zákona, podle kterého by algoritmy platforem a vyhledavacu měly nabízet minimálně 20 procent zpráv z vládou schválených zdrojů, predevsim tech verejnopravne "nezávislých." Podobný zakon by rádi prosadili i labouriste v UK
