Ukraine’s fresh existential threat – from the polling booths of the European Parliament elections
Ukraine faces a new threat from the rise of hard-Right parties in Europe, which are expected to perform well in the upcoming European Parliament elections. These parties, including Germany's AfD, Hungary's Fidesz, and Austria's Freedom Party, could form a significant bloc capable of influencing EU foreign policy. Many advocate for ending aid to Ukraine, appeasing Putin, and pushing for peace talks. Viktor Orban of Hungary and other right-wing leaders have expressed reluctance to continue supporting Ukraine financially and militarily. Eurosceptic parties are predicted to win in several EU member states, potentially impacting the EU's stance on the Ukraine crisis. The article highlights the division within the European right-wing parties regarding foreign policy, particularly towards Ukraine and Russia.

Minorities in Belgium: From the margins to the mainstream
Minorities in Belgium have made significant strides in various sectors, including politics, sports, and culture, becoming more visible and influential. Despite this progress, they face a resurgence of racism and nativism, particularly from the radical right. Trailblazers like Meyrem Almaci, the first minority leader of a Flemish political party, have overcome discrimination and societal expectations to achieve success. High-profile figures like footballer Romelu Lukaku and musician Stromae have become symbols of Belgium's diversity. However, the political landscape is shifting, with the far right gaining ground and centrist parties adopting more conservative stances on immigration and minority issues. The upcoming 2024 elections are a source of concern for minorities, who fear the potential rise of extremist right-wing parties.

Tear gas fired as anti-migration protesters clash with police outside EU in Brussels
Belgian riot police used tear gas and water cannon to disperse thousands of protesters in Brussels demonstrating against a UN migration pact. The protest, organized by Flemish Right-wing parties, turned violent when some demonstrators clashed with police. A counter-demonstration by Left-wing groups in favor of the pact took place peacefully. The New Flemish Alliance withdrew from the ruling coalition over the pact, leaving Prime Minister Charles Michel leading a minority government. The UN migration pact, supported by Pope Francis, aims to address global migration issues but has faced criticism and withdrawal from several countries.

Far-right separatist party in Belgium promises Flanders' secession
A far-right separatist party, Vlaams Belang, leads the polls in Belgium ahead of the June elections, aiming to make Flanders an independent state. The party's success is attributed to its anti-immigration stance and the belief among many Flemish people that they would fare better independently from the French-speaking Wallonia. Vlaams Belang plans to collaborate with the New Flemish Alliance to achieve a majority in the Flemish parliament and declare Flanders a sovereign state. However, public opinion in Flanders is divided, with some residents preferring to remain part of Belgium. The party also aims to keep the new Flemish state within the EU and NATO while advocating for EU reforms.
