#Issue 25

The recent European elections have emboldened the far right, the centre-right looks like the real winner and Social Democrats have held their ground. Our Special Coverage, EU 2024: the unpredictable well-known, analyses the results and attempts to predict what to expect from this new, more right-leaning, European Parliament. Elections are also at the centre of the Dossier on Protecting democracy from digital disinformation about the threats of AI and ever-more sophisticated digital manipulations to democratic processes. 

Our Focus on A single market with a social face departs from former Italian prime minister Enrico Letta’s report on the EU’s internal market, its weaknesses and possible reforms and the second Dossier, Housing is a human right, we delve into a crisis that hits not just the most vulnerable sectors of society but – increasingly – the middle classes: adequate housing.
