Challenging Euroscepticism in Central and Eastern Europe – The Case of the Czech Pirate Party

The 2010s in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) were characterized by a rise of populism and Euroscepticsm. Yet in a country which has a strong tradition of Euroscepticism in the political sphere, which has experienced a notable surge of populism and whose citizens tend to be rather unenthusiastic about the European Union, a new party challenging those trends emerged. The Czech Pirate Party (Pirates) is a party firmly committed to upholding and bolstering democratic standards, as well as to affirming their country’s place in the European Union. In order to better explain how such a party came to be and how it positions itself, this conference paper explored party manifestos and selected examples from political practice.
