23. – 24. května 2016 se uskuteční 2. mezinárodní konference „Populismus v Evropě: Dopady na politické prostředí“. V těchto dnech se v Praze setká přes 50 badatelů z více než 20 evropských zemí a někteří přední myslitelé z oblasti politických a sociálních věd, aby společně diskutovali nad příčinami nárůstu a úspěchu současného populismu v Evropě.

No parliamentary elections in Slovakia have ever caused so much surprise, consternation and dismay as those held on 5 March 2016. The results can be readily characterised as shocking.

On 13 February, tens of thousands of people demonstrated in front of the Hungarian Parliament Building in Budapest. The protest was organised by school teachers, but a number of other unions joined the initiative to express their solidarity.

The Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung commissioned a study by Political Capital entitled “Focus on Hungary: Refugees, Asylum and Migration”. The authors of the study analyse the Orbán Government’s rhetoric and policy measures with regard to refugee, asylum and migration issues. 

The Heinrich Böll Foundation is organizing the 2nd International Populism Conference in Prague, in cooperation with the Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Social Science and the Goethe-Institut Prag. The conference will take place 23 - 24 May 2016 at Goethe-Insitut Prag. More information about the Call for Papers can be found here. You can apply until 29 Febuary 2016. 

The Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung has commissioned the second volume of the study to further examine existing and new tendencies of Hungarian youth regarding their political choices and the reasons behind them. While previously only students who reside in the country were in the focus, the scope of this recent study has been extended to include the political involvement and attitudes of that part of the Hungarian youth who already are emigrating or are planning to soon move abroad.
