As Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court (STF) grows in power, its role has become an increasingly divisive topic. Confrontations with former President Jair Bolsonaro, as well as several of his allies, have kept the Court at the forefront of public discourse. While supporters view the STF as safeguarding a democracy under attack, critics argue that the Court has overstepped its mandate and amassed too much authority.
Donald Tusk has been sworn in as Poland’s latest Prime Minister. While he is personally pro-EU, Law and Justice may derail his progress towards fulfilling his campaign promises.
While people have been focusing on the potential changes in Poland due to the election, Hungary will be impacted as well. The two member states have rebelled against the EU together for years yet Hungary may now find itself alone.
Poland has found itself in hot water not only with the European Union yet its own citizens over reforms considered to be undemocratic. This may lead to a competitive parliamentary election later this year.
