Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
Elections in Austria: How dangerous is the FPÖ?
On September 29, Austria will hold its national elections, with the far-right Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) leading the polls with 30% support.

Our investigation explores the many ties of Petrovsky to the Nordic and Russian neo-Nazi community.
Spain after the June elections: will blocking the right be enough?
For the moment, it seems that the extreme right is not gaining that many institutional positions at the state level. But it has achieved a lot of institutional power in municipalities and regions. In a state where the autonomous regions have important powers, it is conceivable that four years of regressive public policies will follow in many autonomous communities.
However, at state level, the progressive block is holding.
It remains to be seen how the balance of power will develop in the coming months.
