We are currently engaging with think tanks and political parties across the continent to collaboratively develop a detailed counter-proposal to the centralist, anti-national, and anti-democratic vision of the European Union promoted by the European Parliament and President Macron.
In September last year, in collaboration with the Heritage Foundation, the Ordo Iuris Institute organized a conference in Warsaw, bringing together think tanks from across Europe to discuss the potential impact on transatlantic relations of the deep treaty reform proposed by the European Parliament, strongly supported by Germany and France. The need for an alternative EU reform project was also highlighted.
This has resulted in an initial report prepared by Poland’s Ordo Iuris Institute and Hungary’s Mathias Corvinus Collegium.

Today, the EU faces an existential crisis. Some advocate for deeper integration, accelerating the trend toward federalization. However, decades of increased centralization have not resolved Europe's challenges but have instead exacerbated them. The solution lies in returning to the EU's founding principles.
Wednesday's presentation in Brussels of the European Union reform plan developed by Poland’s Ordo Iuris Institute and Hungary’s Mathias Corvinus Collegium garnered significant interest. Nearly a hundred MEPs and their staff from many countries came to the presentation of this proposal.

Presidential elections, which have just taken place in Poland, were won by the candidate supported by the opposition. According to the law, the validity of the elections should be decided by the Extraordinary Review and Public Affairs Chamber of the Supreme Court. However, the government is questioning the competence of this chamber, which could be interpreted as an attempt to obstruct the transfer of power to the newly elected president.
