Description:

EU countries and its Eastern partners are being challenged by cuts of individual and collective rights in the last years, by a rise of ultra-nationalist and social and political anti-EU movements. The threats to human rights and the populist ultra-nationalist uprising differ on its intensity from country to country but are happening nowadays at an increasing speed. Most of the EU countries that have partly recovered from the economic crisis in the last years didn’t amend the social cuts, endangering the access to basic rights, such as housing, public health services and higher education.
