No matter how, why, or when the protests sweeping Europe began, they have morphed into coordinated violence stoked by the radical activists who are accused of exploiting legitimate grievances. This is a test of the will of European governments. Can they preserve the right to peaceful protest while clarifying that political violence can never be t…

European nations must take this opportunity to build direct relationships with American leaders because “transatlantic partnership” should not be code for European dependence nor solely focused on NATO.

Europe’s history is not without stain. It has witnessed extraordinary achievements and unspeakable horrors. Yet the values that have shaped the West like ordered liberty, the rule of law, human dignity, representative government, and the pursuit of truth first took root in the civilizations of ancient Greece and Rome before maturing across the nations of Europe and, ultimately, influencing much of the world.

Today, Europe is in crisis.

Economic growth has stalled. Birth rates have fallen well below replacement levels. Violent crime and attacks against women have increased in many countries. Islamist terrorism has become recurring features of Europe’s security landscape. Political institutions struggle to command public confidence, while many of the continent’s most important debates are clouded by ideological conformity rather than open inquiry.

If these trends continue unchecked, Europe’s decline may become impossible to reverse.

Meeting this moment requires more than slogans or partisan talking points. It requires intellectual honesty, historical perspective, and the willingness to confront uncomfortable facts. Serious problems cannot be solved if they cannot first be discussed openly.

That is why I created Europe Uncensored.

This publication exists for readers who value truth, clarity, and transparency over political orthodoxy. The mainstream media filters Europe’s most important stories through predetermined narratives that obscure rather than illuminate the challenges facing our civilization. Europe Uncensored seeks to do the opposite.

Each week, you’ll receive analysis that explains the institutions of the European Union without the jargon, provides historical and political context often missing from today’s headlines, and examines the social, cultural, and political forces reshaping Europe. You’ll also gain a deeper understanding of Sweden and Swedish politics—developments that increasingly foreshadow broader trends across the continent.

Europe Uncensored is built on three commitments.

First, expertise.

Every article is grounded in firsthand experience. For nearly two decades, I have worked in European politics at both the national and EU levels. I have served in local government, worked as a senior advisor in the European Parliament, and now represent Sweden as a Member of the European Parliament, where I serve as Vice Chairman of the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) Group. Europe Uncensored helps readers understand not only what is happening in Europe, but why.

Second, intellectual independence.

Europe Uncensored offers a distinctly conservative perspective, but is not driven by partisan loyalty. It is driven by a commitment to follow the evidence wherever it leads. Dissenting viewpoints are dismissed too often not because they are false, but because they challenge prevailing orthodoxies. This publication welcomes rigorous debate and refuses to sacrifice truth for ideological conformity.

Third, a civilizational perspective.

Europe’s challenges cannot be understood in isolation. They are the product of centuries of history, culture, religion, politics, and ideas. Every major story is part of a much larger narrative about the future of Western civilization. Europe Uncensored helps readers understand not only today’s headlines, but the deeper historical forces that produced them and the consequences they hold for the future.

If you believe Europe’s future deserves honest analysis, serious debate, and a willingness to confront reality without illusion, then you’ve found your community.

Welcome to Europe Uncensored.

For years, Sweden was celebrated as a model of openness and prosperity. Today, it has become a cautionary tale in Europe’s debate over migration, grappling with rising gang violence, organized crime, and growing concerns about social cohesion. Weimers has been among the Parliament’s most persistent critics of the policies he argues produced those outcomes, making him a leading advocate for stronger borders, national sovereignty, and a renewed confidence in Europe’s cultural inheritance.

His willingness to confront authoritarianism has extended well beyond Europe’s borders. An outspoken supporter of Israel and one of the European Parliament’s fiercest critics of the Iranian regime, Weimers was personally sanctioned by Tehran in 2022, a distinction he called “a badge of honor.”

After beginning in Sweden’s youth political movement, Weimers served in municipal government before earning a degree in political science from Karlstad University. He also studied in the United States, gaining a firsthand appreciation for American political institutions and the transatlantic alliance. Before entering the European Parliament, he served as political adviser and later chief of staff to Swedish MEP Lars Adaktusson.

In 2018, convinced that Sweden’s political establishment had failed to confront the country’s mounting challenges, Weimers left the Christian Democrats to join the Sweden Democrats. His first campaign for the European Parliament captured his political philosophy in four words: “More Sweden. Less Brussels.”

Inside Parliament, Weimers has combined legislative work with an aggressive campaign to expose Islamist influence within European institutions. He commissioned Network of Networks: The Muslim Brotherhood in Europe, a landmark investigation mapping the Brotherhood’s extensive network across the continent and examining European Union funding streams connected to Islamist organizations. That work was followed by Unmasking the Muslim Brotherhood: Brotherism, Islamophobia, and the EU, a second major report examining the movement’s influence on European policymaking and public discourse, released in 2025.

Weimers has served on the European Parliament’s Committee on Foreign Affairs, worked extensively on religious freedom and transatlantic relations, and represented Parliament in its delegation for relations with the United States. Today, as Vice Chairman of the European Conservatives and Reformists Group, he is at the center of many of the defining debates over Europe’s security, identity, sovereignty, and future.

Europe is burning. Literally. There are uncontrolled riots on the streets of France and Italy. There are groups poised to wreak the same havoc in other nations around Europe, yet the European ruling class still issues press releases full of naive platitudes. National elections in the coming months will shape Europe’s future for decades. American mid-terms are scheduled within the next week. Now is the time when the West needs a voice like Charlie Weimers.

As debates over migration, national sovereignty, energy, security, free speech, and Europe’s cultural identity intensify, Weimers argues that much of the English-language coverage of the European Union reflects a narrow, progressive political perspective that leaves readers without the context needed to understand what is happening in Brussels and Europe’s national capitals. Drawing on his experience inside the European Parliament, Europe Uncensored seeks to bridge that gap with rigorous reporting, original commentary, and firsthand analysis from one of Europe’s leading conservative voices.

Subscribers will receive exclusive interviews, commentary, Q&As with Weimers, and a weekly roundup of recommended articles, podcasts, and reports. Regular features include:

Strasbourg Notes: Dispatches from the European Parliament, highlighting the legislation, debates, and political dynamics shaping the European Union.

European Reckoning: Weimers’ analysis of the defining political and cultural questions confronting Europe.

Postcards from Sweden: Lessons from Sweden’s experience with immigration, integration, public safety, and national sovereignty.

Brussels Reads: a list of the week’s most sightful articles, podcasts, and commentary from across Europe and beyond curated by Charlie.

"For too long, the defining questions confronting Europe have been filtered through a political and media establishment unwilling to challenge its own assumptions," said Weimers. "Europe Uncensored will provide readers with clear, independent analysis of the issues that matter most from Brussels bureaucracy and migration policy to the future of national sovereignty and Western civilization. The stakes are too high for readers to settle for narratives that obscure more than they reveal."
