It's Not a Revolt, Sire, It's a Secession
At the beginning of July, we witnessed further rioting and looting across France. Although President Macron, with the nerve and arrogance only he is capable of, pretended to find this event surprising, everyone had been expecting it, at least since 2005 and the last large-scale riots in the suburbs.

China and the Prigozhin campaign
How the uprising of Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin must be evaluated is a chapter in itself. On the day of the alleged mutiny, events rolled over so quickly that one hardly noticed who did not speak out. While Putin was on the phone with Kazakhstan and Turkey, and the Belarusian Security Council as well as Iran reacted quickly, it was noticeable that one of the Russians' partners remained silent: namely, the People's Republic of China.

Country Report: Germany, June 2023: The “Ampel”-Coalition wants the heat pump at any price - and is causing political instability
The German government is increasingly slipping the reins. For months it has been arguing about its latest project: the "heat turnaround" (“Heizungswende”). The project is modelled on the “energy turnaround” (“Energiewende”) that forced Germany to phase-out of nuclear power and scooped up "renewable energies" with the watering-can principle.

'Don't just criticise, create!': Interview with Wolfgang Fenske, Director of the "Library of Conservatism"
This is the twelfth instalment of our new interview series called, "Don't just criticise, create!" David Engels speaks with European artists, philosophers, priests, intellectuals, activists, and artisans who have each decided not only to lament 'the decline of the West' but also to endeavour to help reverse it. They have done this by making something new, and also perhaps something beautiful, true, and good.

Tanja Brkić: 'The woke agenda, which hides behind a »benevolent« mask, represents evil. An evil that must be destroyed'
When I look at the current situation in Slovenia in the political space, I can definitely say that cultural Marxism is not just a myth.

The Trap of Legal Immigration
Since 2015, immigration has become a major issue in Central Europe where, since the fall of Soviet communism, it was rather emigration that was the main social phenomenon. However, since the famous "migrant crisis" along the Balkan route, a lot has changed. And the faces you see in the streets of Warsaw, Budapest, Prague and Bratislava are changing too.
