🇪🇺 Do heatwaves at home make MEPs talk climate? @buzogany.bsky.social, @mihailchiru.bsky.social & @vladsurdea.bsky.social match 2 decades of district weather to 130,000+ EP questions. More hazards go with more climate questions, but the link mostly runs between countries. 🔗 doi.org/10.1080/0140...

Description of the article "Climate-related hazards and issue attention to climate policy in the European Parliament" by Aron Buzogány, Mihail Chiru and Vlad Surdea-Hernea, published online first in West European Politics.

Three-panel plot from the interaction models, showing predicted climate attention across hazard levels for three party positions: environmentally friendly (solid green), neutral or centrist (dashed grey) and environmental sceptic (dotted orange). The green line sits above the other two in every panel and the three run broadly parallel — party position sets the level of climate attention rather than conditioning how MEPs respond to hazards. Predicted attention rises with wet-spell exposure but declines across the observed range of heat episodes and temperature anomalies in these models.

Three-panel line plot showing the predicted share of an MEP's written questions that concern climate change as district heat episodes, wet spells and temperature anomalies increase. All three panels slope upward, with shaded confidence bands widening at higher hazard levels. These are the baseline models without country fixed effects; the paper reports that the associations disappear once country fixed effects are added.

Voting patterns in the European Parliament suggest mainstream parties remain firmly supportive of Ukraine. But divisions over Russia are increasingly pronounced among the populist radical right. ✍ Holesch Adam @ibei.org @pzag.bsky.social & @buzogany.bsky.social blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2...

Europe’s Ukraine consensus still holds – but the far right is splitting over Russia

Europe's mainstream parties remain firmly supportive of Ukraine, but divisions over Russia are becoming increasingly prominent among the populist radical right.

New article! Differences within global movements: insights from FFF climate protests in Western and Eastern Europe by Aron Buzogány, Dániel Mikecz & Piotr Kocyba. @buzogany.bsky.social @piotrkocyba.bsky.social doi.org/10.1080/09644016.2026.2623726

Research on the global climate movement underlines the importance of learning and diffusion processes for adopting similar master frames and movement tactics. At the same time, participation research suggests regionally different patterns of mobilisation and protest behaviour. Due to different historical socialisation processes, Western and Eastern European citizens show differences in political activity despite some signs of convergence. This article examines the sociodemographic characteristics and attitudes of climate activists from Eastern and Western Europe. Using protest surveys of Fridays for Future participants in 15 Western and Eastern European countries, we show significant differences between them. Western European climate activists tend to have stronger leftist attitudes, while in Eastern Europe apolitical stances are more common along with higher confidence in market solutions to solve environmental problems. Such differences are likely to affect the cohesion and success of the global climate movement.
