Emmanuel is a Master’s student in European Geopolitics, Security and Defence and the founder of PromethEUs. He is particularly interested in European affairs, with a focus on security and defence, geopolitics, and emerging technologies.
Six months after last spring’s parliamentary elections in Hungary, which aimed to renew the 199 seats of the National Assembly and appoint the new head of government, PromethEUs revisits this political turning point through the eyes of Attila K., an economics student. With hindsight, this interview offers a balanced look at the post-election landscape and the defeat of Viktor Orbán by the pro-European Péter Magyar.
PromethEUs offers a discussion on the driving forces behind this political shift: the impact of inflation on daily life, fatigue with corruption, and the choice of re-anchoring within Europe rather than growing closer to Moscow. In a context where nearly €20 billion in EU funds had been frozen by Brussels over rule-of-law breaches, and where Budapest until recently blocked an aid package of €60 to €70 billion for Ukraine, this exchange sheds light on the expectations of young people, the reshaping of the media landscape, and the necessary institutional safeguards within the European Union.
Dieci anni dopo il fatidico referendum del giugno 2016, il dibattito sul futuro europeo du Regno Unito non è più una semplice speculazione per teorici. Mentre i costi strutturali della Brexit si sono definitivamente consolidati e gli equilibri geopolitici mondiali richiedono blocchi continentali fortemente integrati, la questione del Rejoin si impone con rinnovata forza.
Il ritorno di Londra all'interno del progetto europeo non deve essere pensato come un semplice correttivo transazionale. Attraverso il prisma del federalismo europeo, questo ritorno costituisce una necessità reciproca per superare l'inefficacia delle sovranità frammentate e consolidare l'autonomia strategica del nostro continente. Questo cammino verso l'unificazione si scontra nondimeno con dinamiche elettorali complesse, illustrate dal terremoto politico del maggio 2026.
Confronted with the military escalation in the Middle East and Washington's strategic decoupling, the European Union finds itself at a critical turning point. In this interview with PromethEUs, Lieutenant Commander Guillaume Bucherer, desk officer at the Joint Staff of the Armed Forces (Military International Relations Division - EU Bureau), analyzes the internal fault lines among the 27, the realistic risks of the conflict expanding, and the urgent need for Europe to break free from its dependencies to build its own industrial and military sovereignty.
As the European Parliament prepares to vote on the digital euro regulation and the European Central Bank targets a first issuance by 2029, Europe stands at a monetary crossroads whose full significance it has yet to grasp. The creation of a public digital currency, complementary to euro cash, is not a technical adjustment. It engages the very nature of the European project: will the Union be able to guarantee its citizens sovereign access to central bank money in a world where payments have become the terrain of geopolitical competition between great powers?
La crisi diplomatica aperta tra Washington e Copenaghen sullo status della Groenlandia, il cui picco si colloca tra gennaio 2025 e gennaio 2026, non costituisce un semplice episodio di turbolenza in una relazione transatlantica ritenuta per natura resiliente. Essa è, per l'Europa, un fatto geopolitico fondante. Sotto la pressione ripetuta di un presidente americano che rifiuta di escludere il ricorso alla forza armata contro un territorio appartenente a uno Stato membro dell'Unione Europea e dell'Alleanza atlantica, il consenso che fungeva da bussola strategica per l'Europa occidentale dal 1949 si è incrinato in modo irreversibile.
An unexpected shift, almost counter-intuitive for superficial observers of the Eurozone. Italy, often described in previous decades as the "sick man of Europe," mired in massive public debt and chronic political instability, has officially surpassed Japan to become the world's fourth-largest exporting power.
As the SAFE program mobilizes 150 billion euros for European rearmament, the question of the Union’s strategic autonomy is becoming increasingly pressing. Since the 2022 Versailles Summit, the Twenty-Seven have asserted their willingness to "take their destiny into their own hands" in the face of American uncertainties and Russian threats.
