Nikolas Blome argues that Europhobes, though incapable of governing, still possess the ability to disrupt government functionality. Pro-European parties must transcend traditional left-right divides on issues like climate, social welfare, and the economy to navigate parliamentary challenges, exacerbated by the AfD's strategy of exploiting voter frustration to erode support for European Parliament elections, potentially leading to apathetic majorities devoid of historical consciousness, a tragic scenario that could undermine the very essence of the electoral process.

Greece maintains its high ranking in support for populist and authoritarian parties, despite a notable 11-percentage-point decrease in such support from 2015 to 2023, according to the Authoritarian Populism Index published ahead of the 2024 European elections by the Swedish research institute Timbro, with support from the pan-European Network EPICENTER and the ATLAS Network, and presented in Greece by the Center for Liberal Studies.

Despite a notable 11-percentage-point decrease in support for populist and authoritarian parties in Greece from 2015 to 2023, the country still ranks fourth among 31 European nations in the Authoritarian Populism Index, with 44.3% electoral backing for such parties; left-wing populist and authoritarian parties lead in Greece with 31.5% support, while right-wing counterparts stand at 12.8%, reflecting a broader trend across Europe where one in three citizens supports such parties, with slight increases in northern European countries and slight declines in left-wing parties across the EU.

According to a study by Nicolas Marques of IEM, the underdevelopment of retirement savings leads to an annual loss of €1,540 per worker and retiree in Belgium. This amounts to a total annual cost of €11 billion and significantly impacts future pensions.

A recent article in Sudinfo leaned heavily on research conducted by Institut économique Molinari. The report found that the undercapitalisation of retirement savings is causing an annual loss of €1,540 per employee and retiree in Belgium. Nicolas Marques, Associate Researcher at IEM discussed how this is an issue for workers too, and how current employees are certain to be affected so long as this trend of under-funding and short-termism continues.

A recent national radio show featured a discussion with Juan José Toral, Research Manager at Fundalib discussing their new books proposing several significant changes to improve economic freedom.
