Editorial: Liberation

• Europe has flaws, including a citable technocracy and complex institutional functioning.
• Some perceive it as too liberal, while others wish for more environmental urgency.
• It is criticized for being weak on the diplomatic stage.
• Far-right parties threaten the European project, and there is fear of them emerging victorious or strengthened from the elections.
• Above alarming polls, Europe is threatened by a strong surge of national-populism already evident in Italy and Hungary.

Conclusion: Liberation conducts a deep critique of Europe, highlighting its flaws and the worrying advance of far-right extremist forces.
