On 27 November, Turkish journalist Fatih Altayli was sentenced to 4 years in prison—for criticising President Erdoğan. This isn’t justice. It’s a show of force by a regime terrified of dissent.
As European Democrats, we denounce this latest attack on free speech in Turkey.

Why hasn’t the attacker of the N1 crew been arrested yet?

Most Americans now perceive that prices have risen in nearly every major spending category—food, energy, housing, healthcare. And that perception is no accident. It’s the result of one single year of Trump’s populist policies:

In Serbia, Jelena Kleut—a brilliant and internationally recognised professor—was denied promotion to full professorship. Why? Because she dared to criticise the government’s grip on media and institutions. This is not an isolated case—it’s a warning.

Peace isn’t a bargaining chip—it’s the cost of war. And that cost must never be paid by Ukraine alone.
