Despite the relentless anti-government and pro-European demonstrations in Georgia, the government is consolidating its grip on independent journalists. Reporters Without Borders reported on the detention of two French journalists by Georgian authorities. At the same time, civil servants across professions, including “public service” broadcasters, are also being laid off.

Together with Slovakia, the Czech Republic is one of the last two countries in Europe that have not legislated against corporal punishment. Last year, the government adopted a declaration that calls physical punishment of children unacceptable, but it does not impose any sanctions on parents. An amendment to the Civil Code that addresses such a ban on physical punishment is now in its third reading in the Chamber of Deputies and awaiting approval.

But crises triggered by US tariffs or ceasefire negotiations in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict have both delayed the whole and made Meloni's position more difficult.
