"Asking European Commission to Punish Countries That Fail to Pull Their Weight"... Ask #Ashton


Last September, Sweden became the only European Union country to offer permanent residence to Syrians fleeing their devastated homeland. Now, strained by its own generosity, it is losing patience with what is calls a lack of solidarity from its European brethren.

"Crimea is a not question for Nato," Bildt told Sveriges Radio (SR). "Of course I am worried, but I am more worried about the financial situation and the corruption."


"I remember discussions with him not that long ago about the economic reform that will be necessary but also the political risks these can entail," Bildt wrote. He concluded that reform was possible, but "it will demand both political clout and financial support". "The EU will be the deciding factor in the first matter, and the IMF in the latter," he said.

Britain had lost an empire but not yet found a role, British policy seemed as weak as its military power. #brexit


It is now over sixty years since Dean Acheson (former US Secretary of State) made the immortal comment that Britain had “lost an empire but not yet found a role”. Although made in a Cold War context, as Britain made faltering attempts to enter Europe, the question can still legitimately be asked today, contemplating Britain’s fractured and fractious political scene.

Now, in a cultural centre built from the rubble of this road, there’s again talk of revolution, with the revival of a discredited socialist phenomenon – the plenum – in a form a world away from the secretive party gatherings of yesteryear. Each day for weeks now, residents – mainly Bosniaks but some Croats too – have gathered here in what they call a plenum, or citizens’ forum, to vent anger at their elected leaders and at factory closures, lost jobs and unpaid wages.

Depuis le 5 février, la Bosnie-Herzégovine connaît un soulèvement social et démocratique majeur, parti des travailleurs de Tuzla au chômage et privés de droits sociaux suite à deux décennies de « privatisations criminelles ». Le mouvement s’auto-organise en « plenums citoyens » et s’étend dans plusieurs villes du pays, remettant en cause les élites nationalistes rivales et enrichies quand la population connaît près de 50 % de chômeurs.

Le vote eurosceptique absorbé par d'autres partis


À l'heure actuelle, les sondages d'opinion montrent que, sans être un tsunami électoral, les partis d’extrême droite, eurosceptiques et d'extrême gauche, ainsi que les partis antisystème devraient gagner des sièges au futur Parlement européen. Cette montée de la droite dure devrait entamer la part électorale du centre droit, des socialistes, des verts et des libéraux.

Seuls les citoyens qui se seront abstenus auront délégitimé l'union. Leur acte ouvrira un espace sans précédent aux luttes populaires.


ir de tout citoyen, lorsqu'une élection est organisée démocratiquement, et que son résultat peut avoir un effet politique sur les institutions, est d'utiliser son droit de vote conquis de haute lutte. Ce n'est pas le cas de l'élection au Parlement européen.
