Ein Plebiszit über die Zukunft des Landes“
Ungarn steht vor einer Richtungswahl. Wird Viktor Orbán seinen antiliberalen und souveränistischen Kurs fortsetzen können, oder wird das Land unter Péter Magyar einen neuen Weg einschlagen? Orbán und seine Partei führten den Wahlkampf wie stets mit harten Bandagen. Doch der Herausforderer schlug sich gut. Wechselseitige Vorwürfe um ausländische Einmischung prägten die Endphase des Wahlkampfs. Der Ausgang der Wahlen ist offen. Fest steht: Egal wer…
Politisches Beben
Es geht auch um die Delegitimierung der Dritten Republik“
The Polish government has created the legal foundations for the establishment of a special commission to investigate “Russian interference” in Polish politics. The executive body was supposed to have far-reaching powers and exclude politicians from political office. In the 2023 election year, the commission is an instrument for discrediting opposition leader Donald Tusk and driving polarisation further. Several hundred thousand people have taken …
Umbruch an den Urnen
In Poland’s parliamentary elections in mid-October 2023, the national-conservative government was voted out of office. The broad opposition alliance was able to mobilize many voters, which led to a high voter turnout. The defeated PiS, whose supporters are found mainly among older people and in rural areas, failed to do so. Demographic trends also played a role, by contrast voter migration almost none. The new government now wants to reverse the …
In Turbulenzen
For several years, Poland and Hungary have been at odds with the European Commission over issues concerning the rule of law. To fend off demands and pressure, Warsaw and Budapest acted in concert. Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine has changed things. Poland has improved relations with Brussels and sees itself at the forefront of those states helping Ukraine by taking in refugees and supplying weapons. Hungary wants to maintain good bilat…
Frust und Entfremdung
Disagreements over European policy, differences over the appropriate response to Russia’s war against Ukraine, and now demands from Warsaw for reparations stemming from the Second World War. All of this is straining German-Polish relations. Poland’s governing coalition accuses Germany of instrumentalizing the EU in order to assert German hegemony and destroy Polish sovereignty. These shrill tones are not only due to the election campaign. They ar…
Migranten und Soldaten
Poland reacted quickly and cruelly to the growing number of migrants on its border with Belarus. The national government in Warsaw saw in this an attempt by the regime in Minsk to destabilize Poland and responded by sealing the green border with barriers and deploying a massive contingent of border guards and soldiers to the region. Laws were also tightened. Polish and international human rights organizations have criticized the violation of inte…
Konflikt statt Kampf
The Czech Republic is considered a stable country in East Central Europe. Attacks on the separation of powers and the rule of law, as they are known in Hungary and Poland, do not exist in the Czech Republic. This has to do with the country’s political culture, a high degree of pragmatism, and less-pronounced social antagonisms. But the Czech Republic is also no bulwark of democracy, pluralism, and the rule of law. The EU authorities have Prime Mi…
Nachbarn in Alarm
Poland and Lithuania are following events in Belarus with a high level of interest. Many people are sympathetic towards the protest movement against the fraudulent election. They see the uprising against the Lukashenka autocracy as a continuation of their own fight against authoritarian Soviet rule. Poland and Lithuania are standard bearers of solidarity with the Belarusian civic movement. The governments of the two countries have opened their bo…

Die slowakischen Parlamentswahlen und die Folgen
Parties of the Right in East Central Europe
When the repressive welfare states of ‘‘really existing socialism’’ collapsed more than a decade ago, it seemed that a new era was about to begin in the eastern part of Europe for parties of the right. The programmatic offerings of the left had little that was attractive for people between the Baltic, the Adriatic and the Black Sea. Inefficient economic dirigisme and monocentric political rule had just about discredited everything associated with…
