Overview of Patriots for Europe

The Patriots for Europe (PfE) group was established in June 2024 as a right-wing to far-right political force in the European Parliament, emerging primarily from the Identity and Democracy (ID) group and incorporating members from other political factions. Founded on the principles of the Vienna Manifesto, the group advocates for national sovereignty, secure borders, economic stability, and the protection of free speech. It opposes the further centralization of

power within the European Union and seeks to prioritize the interests of individual member states over supranational governance.

Since its formation, Patriots for Europe has rapidly grown to become the third-largest political group in the European Parliament, with 86 Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) representing 14 EU member states. The group’s political agenda includes strict immigration controls, economic policies aimed at protecting European businesses from high energy costs, and a firm stance against ideological pressures that could restrict freedom of speech.

Het is tijd voor een Noodplan Woningbouw en Sterke Leiders

_________________________________________________________________________________ Een crisis van bijna 400.000 woningen Het woningtekort in Nederland is groter dan ooit.  In 2025 komen we ruim 396.000 woningen tekort – dat is 4,8% van de totale voorraad. Dat tekort vertaalt zich in te hoge huren, te weinig betaalbare koopwoningen en een generatie starters die nergens terecht kan. De regering wil tot 2030 900.000 woningen bouwen. Een prachtig streven, maar de realiteit is dat de bouw pas vanaf 2027 echt op tempo komt. Intussen blijven de tekorten torenhoog. _________________________________________________________________________________ Het huidige pad: langzaam herstel Volgens de officiële prognoses (ABF Research) krimpt het tekort met het huidige beleid: • 3,9% in 2031 • 2,2% in 2040 Met andere woorden: pas tegen 2040 zitten we in de buurt van een “normale” woningmarkt.  Voor honderdduizenden huishoudens is dat veel te laat. ______________________________________________...

Classifying EU Voter Groups: Core, Doubters, and Contrarians. Results by Country. Implications..

Image
  Summary This report classifies EU member states into three voter groups— "core" supporters , "doubters" , and "contrarians" —based on attitudes toward European integration, using data from Eurobarometer surveys, national election results, and academic research. The analysis quantifies the size of each group by country and assesses volatility in public opinion, identifying patterns linked to age, urban/rural divides, and economic conditions. Key findings include: "Core" supporters range from 25% to 60% across member states, with the highest concentrations in founding members (e.g., Germany, Ireland) and the lowest in Central and Eastern Europe (e.g., Poland, Hungary). "Contrarians" (hard Eurosceptics) now represent 10–55% of the electorate, with the highest shares in Poland, Hungary, and Italy. Volatility is low in Western Europe, medium in Southern Europe, and high in Central and Easter...

250.000 NOODPLAN WONINGEN - HEBBEN WE DE RUIMTE WEL?

Image
  Inleiding Wanneer we naast het bestaande natuurbeleid ook de opgave meenemen om in de periode tot 2035 circa 250.000 extra woningen te realiseren — een globale inschatting van de feitelijke behoefte, niet van de huidige overheidsplannen — betekent dit een substantiële ruimtevraag binnen Nederland. Hoe groot is deze ruimteclaim, inclusief de benodigde infrastructuur? Welk deel hiervan zal terechtkomen binnen natuurgebieden? En hoe verhoudt deze opgave zich tot de stikstofproblematiek die het ruimtelijke en ecologische beleid sterk beïnvloedt?   1. Verkenning Ruimteclaim van 250.000 woningen (inclusief infrastructuur) Bepalende basisfactoren: ·      gemiddelde woningdichtheden (woningen per hectare, varieert van stedelijk tot landelijk), ·      aanvullende ruimte voor infrastructuur , groen en voorzieningen (wegen, parkeerplaatsen, scholen, energie-infrastructuur). Typische dichtheden ( referentiewaarden, CBS/RVO/Planburea...
