The Middle East and North Africa have become the testing ground of the multipolar order. Here intersect the new forms of power: economic, energetic, technological, and informational.

The analysis of digital sovereignty challenges demonstrates that twenty-first-century foreign policy is shifting away from traditional diplomacy toward a more complex architecture in which technological infrastructures, global standards, data flows, and regulatory capacities are deeply interconnected.

The partial withdrawal of American troops from Romania is a test of geopolitical clarity. It is not a loss of protection, but an opportunity for reflection. It shows that Romania needs, more than ever, its own strategic compass — an integrated vision of defense, economy, and diplomacy.

A Karan victory would signify the continuation of the existing policy of destabilisation and confrontation with state institutions and the international community. By contrast, a victory for Branko Blanuša would open the way for institutional reconfiguration, easing tensions and strengthening trust in state mechanisms, both in the RS and in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and would herald a decisive effort to tackle crime and corruption.

Democracy is not a definitive form of organization, but a state of collective lucidity. It does not belong to the institutions, but to the people who decide, every day, not to abdicate reason and decency.

If peace in Ukraine is ultimately decided—one way or another—through Washington and Moscow, via Budapest, at least two legitimate questions remain for Romania: Where does Bucharest stand?
