  • Hungarian elections: Lessons for European progressives Key takeaways with Klára Dobrev & Anikó Gregor 28 April 2022 | Florian Ranft et al.

    Viktor Orbán successfully held on to power in Hungary. The aspired regime change did not come to fruition. Nonetheless, the united opposition’s campaign was not in vain.

  • The Majority is Convinced: New German Administration is Future-Oriented 24 March 2022 | Benjamin Lamoureux et al.

    How did the new German administration fare during its first 100 days in office? An Allensbach opinion poll commissioned by Das Progressive Zentrum shows that the coalition of the Social Democrats, the Greens, and the Liberals is clearly perceived as a coalition for the future that stands for reform.
