Framing reintegration as a form of social protection can catalyze comprehensive cooperation. This paper underscores the need for a holistic multi-agency effort to drive migrant reintegration forward.

New Impulses for Stagnant Relationships - German-French Ministerial Council Meets in a New Format

Against the backdrop of the current relationship between Germany and France and a multitude of differences in various areas such as defense, industry, and energy policies, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz invited French President Emmanuel Macron and a portion of his cabinet to a German-French retreat in Hamburg on October 9th and 10th. The informal working discussions were aimed at mitigating existing tensions rather than making high-profile public declarations.

Victory for Democracy in Poland

The fateful elections in Poland on 15 October marked a historic turning point. The long queues in front of the polling stations showed that the citizens longed for change. The national-conservative PiS suffered heavy losses and the pro-European opposition gained force. A new government coalition of KO, Third Way and the left-wing party Nowa Lewica could put the country back on a European course. Despite the challenges, there is hope for a new, democratic and united Poland.

Election Campaign in Poland: The Desired Turning Point at Reach

This Sunday, the parliamentary election will take place in Poland. The topics of the election campaign range from women's rights to inflation and security. The ruling PiS party's anti-campaign targets Donald Tusk and tries to portray him as a vassal of Germany and Brussels. A referendum parallel to the elections is intended to strengthen the PiS's influence. Poland is facing a crucial election that will influence its political fate and its role in the EU.

Tambghrabit ("Solidarity"): A One Foundation Transformative Journey in Morocco

In the framework of the FNF One Foundation exchange program, I dedicated three weeks to gaining firsthand insight into the work carried out by the FNF Morocco office. Morocco is pivotal in the FNF Madrid office's Mediterranean Dialogue project. This exchange experience has been instrumental in fortifying the connections between both offices (FNF Madrid and Morocco offices) and advancing the shared goals of the project, which aims to establish and strengthen the dialogue between Germany, the European Union, and the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean countries.

Displacement of Ethnic Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh and New Wave of Tensions between Armenia and Russia

The recent fierce escalation in Nagorno-Karabakh resulted in a great exodus. During the last few days, more than 100,000 ethnic Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh have been fleeing their homes, as they hardly see any security guarantees for their families and children. The delayed UN Mission to Nagorno-Karabakh reports “as few as 50 to 1,000 ethnic Armenians” in the region. Meanwhile, Armenia's Parliament ratifies the ICC's founding statute, subjecting itself to the Court's jurisdiction and frustrating Russia.

No Liberal Miracle in Slovakia: Prorussian Smer Party Wins the Election

The last polls just before the election gave reason for hope. According to the polls, the Liberals could look forward to strong gains and, even more, the chance to take first place. The polls on the election day itself, published after the polling stations closed last Saturday shortly before 11 pm, also predicted a victory for the ALDE member party Progresívne Slovensko (Progressive Slovakia, abbreviated PS). On Sunday morning, however, disappointment prevailed: The left-wing populist Robert Fico, an outspoken sympathiser of Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, won the election with just under 23 percent. Who is Robert Fico?
