VIENNA — The top brass of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe huddled in the Austrian capital this weekend to celebrate ALDE’s 50th anniversary — and debate how to face the far-right surge. The gathering in Vienna served as an opportunity for national parties — including Austria’s NEOS, the Netherlands’ D66, Belgium’s Reformist Movement, Romania’s USR and Germany’s FDP — to schmooze and scheme in the grand ballrooms of the Habsburg’s Hofburg Imperial Palace while debating current topics like social media restrictions, EU institutional reform, and the single market’s competitiveness. So who’s up in the liberals’ world, and…

Published on 05/07/2026 – 10:32 GMT+2 The Vikings were apparently not only a warlike people: In Søften, a small village in the Mid Jutland region north of Aarhus, archaeologists have uncovered the remains of an exceptionally large craft settlement. The complex dates from the 7th to 10th centuries and covers 100,000 square metres. In total, the archaeologists excavated 82 pit houses. The area seems to have served as a specialised craft zone, with numerous workplaces operating in parallel. The large number of identical workshops suggests that division of labour, and possibly centralised control, played a role. The excavations brought to…
Serbia will host EXPO 2027, which already has 140 countries signed up to take part. Preparations – but above all the Serbian economy and EU accession talks – were the main topics of a conference held in Brussels. It was attended by Serbia’s foreign minister, Marko Djurić, deputy prime minister and finance minister, Sinisa Mali, and the speaker of the National Assembly, former Serbian prime minister Ana Brnabić. ‘Constant contact’ Euronews poke to Serbia’s former prime minister Ana Brnabić about relations with Ukraine and Russia.

The Museum of Innocence was published as a novel in 2008, became a physical museum in 2012, and reached a much wider audience with this year’s Netflix series. Euronews Turkish team was personally welcomed at the museum by Nobel Prize-winning author Orhan Pamuk who discussed the philosophy behind the novel, the memorial power of objects and his thoughts on the museum’s legacy. The sentence ‘I didn’t know it was the happiest moment of my life’ is now recognised as one of the most striking openings in world literature. What do you think makes this sentence so powerful? The novel also…
It was part of a broader redirection of far-right resentments away from race and ethnicity to class and status, embodied by the yellow-vest protests that began months after that World Cup victory. Le Pen began to speak of France’s most famous athletes the way her father once dismissed Paris’ detached elites — “technocratic robots, graduates of the École Nationale d’Administration, and bourgeois bohemians,” he said in a 2006 address to a party convention — rather than as ungrateful immigrants representing the country’s restive suburbs. The populist shift was evident in 2024, when several of the team’s top strikers all joined a swift counterattack against…
