Watch the second episode of the Voices of Visegrad series: Czechia Goes to Polls, Slovakia Polarises, Hungary Leads V4.

Key questions we ask in this episode:

• What is at stake in the Czech parliamentary elections?
• How does Polish President Karol Nawrocki shape politics one month into office with sharpening anti-Ukraine rhetoric?
• Why is Slovakia facing rising societal divisions and radicalisation?
• What direction will Hungary take as it assumes the Visegrad Group presidency?

This year marks the 25th Anniversary of the Visegard Fund. On this occasion, Visegrad Insight - Res Publica Foundation, with its partners Slovak Bratislava Policy Institute, Czech EUROPEUM, as well as Hungarian Europe Society, bring you videos and texts on current events in the Visegrad Group. 

The Visegrad Group holds a unique position at the heart of Europe, shaped by its geographical location, intertwined histories and shared values. Comprising countries that have undergone similar transitions on their path to democracy, and united in a common effort to join the European Union and NATO, the V4 is bound by a shared experience that sets it apart. This common past not only reinforces solidarity among the member states but also positions them as credible voices in shaping the future of European integration and security. United by core democratic ideals, the V4 can offer valuable insights into navigating contemporary challenges, making it a vital contributor to the broader European dialogue. 

This project is co-funded by the Visegrad Fund.
