The article compares the political stances of far-right groups in France and Poland, noting that France’s National Union is currently a dominant force with strong anti-NATO sentiment and support for Putin’s narrative. In Poland, several right-wing factions are observed to align with pro-Russian viewpoints. Specific Polish figures and parties, such as those associated with the Confederation, are highlighted for their rhetoric supporting normalization of relations with Russia and criticizing Ukraine’s involvement in conflict. These groups are accused of disseminating Kremlin propaganda, while experts caution that the overt alignment of both Western and Polish far-right politics with pro-Kremlin narratives is risky due to persistent anti-Russian sentiment among Polish voters.

PULSE – Europe beyond the beat is an initiative coordinated by OBCT which has been promoting intense journalistic cross-border collaborations in Europe since 2024. The main aim is to help strengthen the European public sphere by reporting and telling stories from new and diverse perspectives.

PULSE’s offering also includes the distribution of free content to third-party outlets and the animation of four thematic networks open to any European journalist interested in crucial issues such as EU enlargement, Europe and other global powers, the green transition, or media and information society.

PULSE is driven by a sort of virtual transnational newsroom made up of journalists from all the publications involved, which produces new journalistic content on European issues in a collaborative way on a daily basis, coming in many languages. A further layer of associated partners and journalists enriches PULSE’s editorial output, which amounts to over a thousand publications per year.
