>From May 13th until May 19th Zagreb will be the center of the critical and
progressive thought. Some of the most influential contemporary thinkers will
gathered in the Croatian capital and address this year Subversive Festival's
central theme "The Future of Europe".

Although the accession of Croatia to the European Union is a political act with
numerous consequences, there was no serious discussion about accession either
before the referendum nor afterwards. But it is not news that the European Union
is facing its biggest crisis since it was created. It is at the same time an
economic, financial, social and ideological crisis of the project. Across the
continent, instead of solidarity we are witnessing the dictatorship of the
financial sector, new austerity measures and the rise of the extreme right.
Within the last few months, new austerity measures and structural adjustments,
changes to labor laws and privatizations have been the cause of mass protests on
the streets of Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Romania and Hungary. The European
Union’s internal turmoil as well as the economic, financial, social and
ideological crisis of the European project are the main topics of this year’s
Subversive Forum.
