With all eyes on this evening's closing ceremony of the very successful Winter Olympics in Sochi, one might easily miss another Russian festivity today. For 23 February is a public holiday in Russia and families across the country take time to give a little extra attention to their menfolk. For our friend Alexey, who lives with his wife and two children in Smolensk, the Russian variant of Father's Day means that he spends much of the day with his male friends doing whatever Russian men do in garages.
Tres manifiestos, de los que se salivean, proponen una revolución para esta UE, un cambio de paradigma radical en su construcción. Los tres postulan, con distintos acentos (y títulos) la edificación de una “Unión del Euro” o “Comunidad del Euro”, que eleve de rango a la actual eurozona, los 18 socios de la moneda única. ¿Cómo? Con un Ejecutivo propio y reducido, una Cámara propia (destilada desde el Parlamento de Estrasburgo) y un presupuesto como Dios manda... incluso con un Tribunal de capacidad sancionadora reforzada.

Today, banks like Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs own oil tankers, run airports and control huge quantities of coal, natural gas, heating oil, electric power and precious metals. They likewise can now be found exerting direct control over the supply of a whole galaxy of raw materials crucial to world industry and to society in general, including everything from food products to metals like zinc, copper, tin, nickel and, most infamously thanks to a recent high-profile scandal, aluminum. And they're doing it not just here but abroad as well: In Denmark, thousands took to the streets in protest in recent weeks,...

Opporre l'Europa a tali sviluppi significa tuttavia cambiarla alle radici: rinvigorire la sua rappresentanza democratica, darle più risorse (un bilancio in crescita, dunque poteri impositivi) per vincere la depressione con un New Deal dell'Unione
Il faut changer l’Europe de fond en comble pour contrecarrer de telles dérives : revigorer sa démocratie représentative, lui conférer plus de ressources (un budget en hausse, donc le droit de lever des impôts) pour vaincre la dépression par un New Deal à l’échelle de l’Union.
the EU needs to concentrate on the main issues and overcome its tendency to put a lot of energy into numerous side issues, into the extension of its own powers or into further enlargement.

Dans un discours donné à Rotterdam hier, Frans Timmermans, le ministre néerlandais des Affaires étrangères, a déclaré que l'UE devrait « se concentrer sur les problèmes les plus importants et surmonter sa tendance à mettre beaucoup d’énergie dans de multiples enjeux secondaires, sur l’extension de ses propres pouvoirs ou de son élargissement ».
De l’autre côté, les leaders de l’opposition, Messieurs Klitschko, Iatseniouk et Tiahnibok (Svoboda, extrême droite) apparaissent divisés et incapables de fédérer les manifestants en vue d’une sortie de crise négociée et pacifique. Il semble que la diversité des citoyens descendus dans la rue est représentative du malaise général de la société ukrainienne mais c’est aussi un élément de blocage du fait de l’incapacité à coordonner les demandes de cette foule aux demandes multiples.
La contribution annuelle nette moyenne des ménages issus de l'immigration en Belgique est toujours positive selon un rapport de l'OCDE dont Le Soir fait écho mercredi. Ce n'est pas le cas dans d'autres pays comme l'Allemagne, la France ou la Pologne.
