Hi, and welcome to the latest news and tools produced by EDJNet!

Today we present you episode 8 of the Uncharted Europe podcast. This is a special episode, as it is a preview of an investigation that we will publish next week. The investigation deals with an issue that has touched almost every working person in the past three years: the ways in which the covid-19 pandemic has changed the world of work in Europe.

In other news, Il Sole 24 Ore 🇮🇹  published a country-focused follow-up of our investigation on femicides. EUrologus 🇭🇺 wrote a detailed story on the downfall of the WTO and the role of the EU in this context. MIIR 🇬🇷 reports on a situation that is not new to us: the difficulty of access to assisted reproduction techniques for LGBTI people. Finally, we hosted contributions from Texty 🇺🇦 and G7 🇭🇺 respectively on how Kyiv's street names are being de-russified and on how Hungary has spent billions of EU funds to build heavily underused motorways.

Enjoy the reading!

Episode #8 - Why Europeans no longer want to work as before

The Covid-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the labour market: the so-called “platform economy” rapidly developed during the pandemic, while lockdowns and travel restrictions changed the way we work and think about work.

In episode 8 of Uncharted Europe, we offer a preview of the results of an investigation that lasted three months and involved six EDJNet partners. You’ll hear from Catherine André (Alternatives Economiques 🇫🇷), coordinator of the investigation, Adrian Burtin (Voxeurop 🇫🇷) and Michela Finizio (Il Sole 24 Ore 🇮🇹).

Stories

Kyiv's street names are being heavily de-russified

Yevheniia Drozdova | Texty

About 500 streets in Kyiv have been renamed since 2014 – many of them changed their name after the military agression by Russia in 2022. Ukrainian and Western history and figures have now taken the place of Soviet or Russian ones.

Should the EU be blamed for the downfall of the WTO?

Kata Moravecz | EUrologus

The answer is no, but why has the EU moved towards one-to-one trade agreements instead of relying on the WTO in recent years? The reasons lie in the immobility of the latter and the efficiency of the former.

Greece: IVF for all, but not for LGBTI people

Elvira Krithari | MIIR

Greece's assisted-reproduction industry has been actively promoting its services domestically and internationally, and offers hope to thousands of infertile people – as long as they are not lesbian couples, gay men or intersex people.

Hungary spent 1 billion euros mostly from EU funds on empty motorways

Péter Bucsky | G7

Between 2010 and 2020, the Hungarian government spent almost 1 billion euros, mainly coming from the EU, to build motorways where traffic is now less than 10 per cent of capacity. Why did they do it?

In Italy, femicides are not decreasing like homicides

Michela Finizio | Il Sole 24 Ore

Compared to the rest of Europe, the number of homicides in Italy is low and the number of male victims has decreased sharply over the years. But the same cannot be said of women. Meanwhile, at the European level, the heterogeneity of homicide classifications makes counting femicides difficult.
