Sixteen years of authoritarian rule by Viktor Orbán have come to an end in Hungary, after his Fidesz party lost parliamentary elections to the opposition Tisza party. This is a seismic result for Hungary, but it also has huge implications for Europe more broadly. Orbán’s efforts to build an “illiberal state” in Europe have involved regularly flouting European Union laws and norms.

Péter Magyar, Tisza’s leader and Hungary’s incoming prime minister, has promised to rebuild relations with the EU. But as Michael Toomey, Lecturer in Politics and International Relations at the University of Glasgow, explains, this may be easier said than done. He lays out how Magyar might achieve some of the necessary reforms, and where Hungarians could see a continuation of some of Orbán’s policies.

Alexander Bor is a researcher of democracy at Central European University, which was forced to move from Budapest to Vienna under Orbán’s laws targeting foreign universities. This makes him uniquely positioned to explain the propaganda machine that Orbán constructed over his years in power, and why it ultimately failed.

Get to know Péter Magyar and how he beat Orbán in the latest episode of The Conversation Weekly podcast.

Europe’s digital future is well on its way, with the launch of European Digital Identity Wallets and the European Central Bank now working towards a digital euro. Both are likely to be part of Europeans’ everyday lives soon, but many people are concerned about the privacy implications of keeping personal data and money stored digitally. Our experts explain the benefits and risks of this tech.

And while men on scooters deliver food across Paris, around half of them who responded to a survey reported having spent at least a full day without eating in the last year. The results add eye-opening detail to ongoing debates about gig worker rights in Europe.

EU digital ID wallets will make it easier for citizens and residents to prove their identity, and safely store, share and sign important digital documents within the EU. But digital applications aren’t totally risk-free.

Cure flore intime

35,00 €

JE DÉCOUVRE

Bonjour,

La semaine dernière, on vous parlait de mycoses, de vaginoses, de ces inconforts intimes qu'on gère souvent seules et en silence.

Aujourd'hui, on vous présente la réponse :

Notre toute nouvelle cure flore intime, et pourquoi elle va changer la donne.
😉 🙌

La flore vaginale, c'est un écosystème fragile.

Cycles, stress, rapports sexuels, traitements antibiotiques, variations hormonales… autant de raisons qui peuvent la dérégler.
Et quand elle se dérègle, c'est l'inconfort, les récidives, ce sentiment d'être coincée dans un cercle sans fin.
♾️

Alors on a travaillé des mois pour formuler quelque chose de vraiment efficace :

20 milliards de probiotiques par dose
4 souches documentées et reconnues, dont le Lactobacillus crispatus — la souche dominante d'une flore vaginale saine
Une gélule gastrorésistante pour que les probiotiques arrivent là où ils doivent aller
De la vitamine B2 pour soutenir la santé des muqueuses

Préventive. Apaisante. Pensée pour la vraie vie.

Profitez-en, elle est désormais vôtre.
❤️

Bisous,

Lola

PS. And don’t forget, eat, drink, masturbate ! 😘
