From Trotsky to Brexit to Orbán’s attack dog: The man leading Hungary’s fightback against the EU

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 21:16:59 GMT

Viktor Orbán’s man in Brussels is a former Trotskyite who made his name backing leftist causes.In the 1980s, Frank Furedi was one of the U.K.’s most hardcore communists. By 2016, he was a Brexit-supporting contrarian fulminating against so-called cancel culture. Today, he’s pushing the Hungarian leader’s right-wing populist agenda in the heart of European politics.Furedi — born in Budapest but based for most of his life in England — leads the Brussels branch of Hungarian government-backed college Mathias Corvinus Collegium (MCC). His mission? Needling the EU establishment with which Budapest has often clashed over the rule of law.Since its launch last November, MCC Brussels has held events and published reports on topics ranging from EU technology regulation to history teaching to the Ukrainian war. The general tone is exactly what you’d expect from a college linked to Orbán: startups would be better far from the Berlaymont’s reach; history teachers are woke; the EU’...

Ode to (no) Joy! Is it time for a new EU anthem?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 21:16:59 GMT

It’s Europe Day, the one day of the year when all Europeans are “drunk with fire.”That’s not (necessarily) a reference to flaming sambucas but to “Ode to Joy,” the official anthem of the European Union, which begins:Joy, beautiful spark of Divinity,Daughter of Elysium,We enter, drunk with fire,Heavenly one, thy sanctuary!At this point, EU nerds are screaming, “There are no words to the EU anthem!” Fear not, we’ll get to that. But as Europe lurches from crisis to crisis and the bloc continues to grow, is it also time to reassess “Ode to Joy” as the appropriate musical rallying cry? Is there a better option?First, a history lesson.The poem “Ode to Joy” — “An die Freude” — was written by German poet Friedrich Schiller in 1785. Incidentally, Schiller’s play “Mary Stuart” features the line “The voice of the majority is no proof of justice,” variations of which we will undoubtedly hea...

EU targets Central Asia in drive to stop sanctioned goods reaching Russia  

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 21:16:59 GMT

Central Asian countries such as Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan are the most likely first targets of a radical new EU proposal to stop Russia busting sanctions by importing the high-tech components required to wage war through its neighbors. The EU is moving toward its 11th package of sanctions against Russia to try to sap President Vladimir Putin’s military machine and, for the first time, its proposal will include counter-measures against countries helping Moscow dodge Brussels’ trade embargo. China and Turkey are the nations most often credited with throwing Russia an economic lifeline — but EU diplomats cautioned that Ankara and Beijing were not their immediate targets, and that measures against such significant geostrategic trade partners risked backfiring. Instead, three EU diplomats said the hope was that the EU’s impending proposals on sanctions circumvention would encourage Central Asian states to fall into line. The full 11th sanctions package could be unveiled...
