Thank you so much, Cas! We cannot imagine beginning a new year without your take on what is ahead. Last time, you were pretty accurate!
It's time to start thinking about my annual "looking-ahead" piece for @voxeurop.bsky.social - it's going to be a crucial year for (U.S.) democracy and will EUrope finally move on?

This is what I wrote when looking ahead to 2025...
Cas Mudde: In 2025, Europe must learn to stand on its own two feet
The EU faces a turbulent 2025 as internal divisions, weakened leadership in France and Germany, and Trump’s return strain its unity, says the far-right expert.

A selection of what we've published lately on Georgia to better understand what has been happening since last year and where it is heading, despite the people's protests.

My latest take on online child protection in Europe, in collaboration with my brilliant fellows from the #Pulse network:
The continent is torn between banning certain content, implementing age verification and addressing privacy risks, while also holding platforms accountable. Amid rising harm and political pressure, experts insist that digital literacy and shared responsibility must prevail.

✏️ The "peace plan" for ending the war in #Ukraine 🇺🇦 presented by the White House might very well have been inspired by the Kremlin. Will president #Zelensky bite the forbidden fruit?

Is masculinity really experiencing a “crisis”, as we so often hear? Has feminism gone too far? Behind such ideas lie prejudices – not just misogyny and anti-feminism, but also misplaced masculinism and even violence.

#Gastronationalism
There is a form of "banal nationalism" lurking behind the defence of culinary traditions, which can even deploy the language of Sovereigntism. The phenomenon is also fueled by European food policies.

Gastronationalisme : derrière la fierté de la cuisine traditionnelle
Derrière la défense des traditions alimentaires se cache une forme de “nationalisme ordinaire”, qui culmine parfois avec l’emploi d’un langage souverainiste.
