A viral video showed George Simion, leader of the AUR party, cutting a Greenland-shaped cake decorated with an American flag at a Republican civil organization event in Washington, which he framed as Romania’s interest given America is its key security ally. This caused controversy in Romanian domestic politics, with European Parliament Vice President Nicu Stefanuta criticizing him for ignoring Romania’s potential issues similar to Denmark’s situation. Lidia Vadim responded by posting an image of Hungary being sliced instead of Greenland. Vadim, who previously worked on Simion’s campaign and is associated with the intellectual and political legacy of Corneliu Vadim Tudor, has shifted focus from Greenland to Hungarian themes in her posts. While Simion had previously shown support for Viktor Orbán, Vadim’s new post features a smiling politician cutting a national cake while an image of Viktor Orbán appears tearful in the background, garnering reactions mostly from far-right and pro-Hungarian users who congratulated her on slicing the “Hungary cake,” though some found the message too harsh.

PULSE is an initiative for cross-border collaborative journalism in Europe co-funded by the European Commission under Grant Agreement n. PO 4500158093.

PULSE is an initiative coordinated by OBCT that has been promoting intensive journalistic cross-border collaborations in Europe since 2024. Its main aim is to help strengthen the European public sphere by reporting on and telling stories from new and diverse perspectives.

At the heart of PULSE are 10 leading national news outlets (Delfi – Lithuania, Deník Referendum – Czechia, Der Standard – Austria, EfSyn – Greece, El Confidencial – Spain, Gazeta Wyborcza – Poland, HotNews – Romania, HVG – Hungary, Il Sole 24 Ore – Italy, Mediapool – Bulgaria) and three transnational organisations, including OBCT , n-ost and Voxeurop .

Additional outlets and journalists are involved as associate partners, including EUobserver , Føljeton (Denmark), H-Alter (Croatia), Levila (Estonia), Rubryka (Ukraine), and The Journal Investigates (Ireland).

PULSE is driven by a sort of virtual transnational newsroom made up of journalists from all the publications involved. It collaboratively produces new journalistic content on European issues on a daily basis, coming in many different languages. The editorial output amounts to over a thousand publications per year, mostly in article form.

PULSE also runs 4 thematic networks open to any European journalist interested in crucial issues such as EU enlargement, relations between the EU and other global powers, the EU’s green transition, or media and the information society. These networks function as online communities and periodically publish calls for pitches.
