Foreign ministers are to discuss Israel trade sanctions in Luxembourg next week, as EU waits for details of Hungary's new approach.
When Europeans open a streaming app tonight, they do not simply choose entertainment. They enter an attention system that decides what is surfaced, what is sidelined, and what becomes 'normal' through rankings, recommendations, and autoplay. As the EU prepares for the 2026 review of the Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMSD), this is no longer just a cultural debate.

Hungary is waking up to a new leader this morning — one who is almost 20 years younger than Viktor Orbán, but not an outsider (nor someone entirely politically opposed to the previous leadership.)
The European Parliament has set out its mandate. We stand ready to negotiate constructively with the Council, with a clear goal: agreement by the end of 2026, so new programmes can be launched on schedule in January 2028.

It is just one of the many historical lessons of warfare that US president Donald Trump and Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu have ignored over the past 40 days. The result is that they have lost the war against Iran and failed to achieve any of their objectives.
“He didn't fall into Viktor Orbán's culture war trap — like the opposition always did.” Hungarian political scientist Eszter Kováts explains the rise of Péter Magyar. The liberals and the mainstream rightwing European parties expect much more from him than he is ready to give, in her opinion. “But he will not be Orbán,” she says.
