With the Paris Olympics almost crossing its finishing line, most will return to work with no more than a hangover caused by too much spectating over the summer. For some lawmakers the transition from the thrill of the Olympics podium to the slog of the EU policy schedule came with an added twist, since they actually competed in an Olympic Games. It’s not uncommon for political parties to leverage the fame of former athletes to gain votes, and several lawmakers have had impressive sports backgrounds. MEPs belonging to this select band of former Olympians hail from Hungary, Italy, and Slovakia, ...

The situation is even more concerning in the new European Parliament, which not only has fewer women than any...

Last week all the committees in the European Parliament held their respective constitutive meetings, electing a chair and four vice-chairs to lead the 20 committees and subcommittees that make up the institution. This was the first challenge for Patriots of Europe, the group founded by Viktor Orbán, which counts 84 MEPs, making it the third-largest group in the hemicycle. The centre-right coalition groups that supported von der Leyen's reappointment, the European People’s Party (EPP), Socialists and Democrats (S&D) and Renew Europe, maintained its cordon sanitaire, resulting in Orban's group l...
