Interview with Russian Zevzda (Star) media (English)

European totalitarianism is on the rise, following the model of Orwell's dystopian world: censorship, protests and terrorism. What will Brussels' dystopia lead to?
Europe is at a crossroads: a forced reset and the Brussels elite's "salvation war"—all in the latest episode of Dynamic Spectrum: Talks with Anna Shafran and Yuri Linde.
Guest: independent journalist and political scientist from the Netherlands, Sonja van den Ende.

The European Union, once a symbol of progress and economic power, is experiencing one of the deepest crises in its history. Rapid growth has been replaced by stagnation, and ambitious projects have turned into failures burdened with multibillion-dollar debts. Industry is on the brink of collapse, while social tensions are escalating at an alarming rate.
Eurostat reports that industrial production in the Eurozone fell by 2.2% in 2024, with energy-intensive sectors contracting by up to 15%. Europe's largest economies are struggling to stay afloat. The automobile and chemical industries are fighting for survival, factories are shutting down one after another, and entire regions are left without jobs.
