This is a wonderful article on left-wing visions of austerity in the 1970s - anyone with an interest in the subject should read it.

“Defending democracy is different than defending the status quo [..] we defend democracy best by trying to improve it and not simply by calling any critic an enemy.[..] In my view, unhappy are the lands that need an enemy to know who they are. Europe is not simply the anti-Russia and should not be.”

20 out of the 27 EU countries today signed a declaration condemning Viktor Orban's ban on pride parades in Hungary. The map very much resembles the old iron curtain divide, with the glaring exception of 🇮🇹Italy which has joined with Hungary and 5 other Eastern European countries in refusing to sign.
