European Union

The SDS party led by conservative opposition leader and ex-prime minister Janez Janša has won Slovenia's parliamentary elections with 25 percent of the vote. Janša wants to follow Hungary's example and seal the country off for migrants. Commentators discuss whether Janša will be able to emulate Orbán and turn Slovenia into another European state under a right-wing populist government.

On 4 June 1920 Hungary reluctantly signed the Treaty of Trianon, one of the treaties that formally ended the First World War, and lost more than sixty percent of its territory. For some this is still an open wound, for others it's a closed chapter.

In the aftermath of Arkady Babchenko's staged killing the Russian journalist and Ukraine's intelligence agencies and political leadership are still under fire. Kiev argues that the operation was necessary to prevent a real murder. Europe's journalists remain divided about the episode and recall a similar case in France in 1982.

The US has now imposed tariffs on steel and aluminium imports from the EU, Mexico and Canada. Several of the countries affected by the measure have already made it clear that they plan to take concerted action against the measures. In Canada too, journalists are calling for a tough stance against Trump. But one European country is particularly concerned about the situation.
