In Russia’s Hybrid War on Europe, Moldova’s Critical Next 15 Months

How can partners help a young democracy contain conflicts amid key elections?

A rising risk in southeast Europe is Russia’s sharpening of conflicts to block Moldova’s effort to join the European Union. The Kremlin is escalating a hybrid campaign to manipulate three Moldovan elections over the next 15 months. Moscow last week hosted the formation of a political bloc around its primary Moldovan ally, a fugitive billionaire convicted of the country’s worst-ever bank fraud — and sent a startling flood of pre-election cash that police seized at Moldova’s main airport. This is a critical season for Moldova’s democratic allies to help it defeat Russian disinformation and election subversion.

20 Years in the EU: Poland Pulls Up Chair at the Top Table

Despite a slow start and tussles over the rule of law, a war next door and a newly formed liberal-democratic government are encouraging Polish ambitions of a leadership role in the bloc.
Standing alongside Germany’s Olaf Scholz and France’s Emmanuel Macron at a meeting of the Weimar Triangle in mid-March in Berlin, Poland’s new prime minister, Donald Tusk, spoke determinedly about the war in Ukraine, how to ensure continued US support and what to do in the event the US cannot deliver. Yet behind the words the message was clear: Poland is ready to assume a leading role in the EU at this critical juncture in European history.

On The State Of Play Of Multilateralism And New, Comprehensive Terminology – Analysis

Bottom-line-up-front

Current concepts and terminology on multilateralism are confusing and inconsistent. Moreover, multilateralism in practice is in one of its biggest crises in (at least) decades.

This blog is the thirteenth in a series in which CEP highlights some of the key actors, and analyzes their extremist ideology, modus operandi, and transnational role.

Science as a Return to Truth

(thesis to the New Science Program)
Exhaustion of modern science

The program of the new science is necessary, because the old science of the New time has exhausted itself, it is simply immoral and completely unfounded delusion, which has no relation at all to the truth and being of the world around us with all its contents. Modern scientific institutions have become purely economic corporations because even a hint of the search for the truth about the world in them is abolished.
