Nuclear Energy: The great atomic bluff
13 April 20101785 Internazionale Rome
Thousands of tonnes of chemical weapons sunk in the Baltic Sea after WWII pose a lethal hazard to humans and the environment. After 70 years at the bottom of the sea, the corroded containers risk leaking deadly poisons, warns a Polish journalist. 
The big winner in the Italian elections, Beppe Grillo, is often described as populist. But in Europe, this political category is somewhat blurred, covering quite a cross-section of movements, argues a Belgian historian. 
Once dependent on Nokia’s world success in telecoms, Finland has diversified its economy and put new business start-ups at the heart of its future. The next challenge will be to keep this new generation of entrepreneurs at home. 
Despite warnings that the European electorate, frustrated by economic decline and austerity, would fall into the arms of EU-phobic, immigrant bashing extremists, it still continues to plump for the moderate mainstream. 
Twenty years ago, the explosion of the property bubble put the state deep into the red. But instead of imposing a radical austerity cure, the Swedes took on a heavy public spending deficit to mop up private debt. 
On a continent where linguistic issues can still cause national strife, minority media play an under-publicised but important role. 
The arrival of technocratic governments in Greece and Italy may well calm jittery markets, but could also help boost populist political parties who point to the democratic deficit at the heart of the EU, argues Gideon Rachman. 
The crisis has accelerated the emergence of a new social class in Europe. Dubbed "the precariat" by sociologists, it is made up of young people with no prospect of a decent job or a reasonable standard of living. 
Finland set a dangerous precedent for Europe by requiring, for purely political reasons, that Greece guarantees the loan to redress its finances. 
The mobile phone manufacturer is a source of national pride, but it's struggling to keep pace with the competition. This highlights a technology gap that that has become a handicap for the entire country. 
Forget the nation-state: Europe would be much better off if it were fundamentally reorganised – into powerful regions in the north and the Alps and picturesque bankrupts in the south 
The rise of populist parties on the Old Continent seems to echo the success of the Tea Party in the United States. But the two movements have different histories, writes the Boston correspondent for De Morgen. The result, though, is the same: governments threatened with paralysis. 
What is the source of the obnoxious atmosphere sweeping across Europe? At a time when populations are more and more inward looking and political leaders irresponsible, Europe is increasingly a cause for scandal. A Belgian columnist sets the record straight. 
The success of the True Finns party in the Finnish general elections is further proof that eurosceptics are making themselves increasingly heard on a European as well as a national scale. 
The 19 percent won by the True Finns on April 17 is a political earthquake for the Finns and a worry for the rest of Europe. But the party of Timo Soini will have to negotiate to impose its ideas, and stay united through the inevitable compromises. This will not happen all by itself, observes the daily Aamulehti. 
From the eastern Baltic to the western straits, Scandinavians are building everything underground: roads, tunnels, and even huge shopping malls. Polish weekly Polityka reports. 
With two months left to run before general elections, the anti-immigration, eurosceptic populist leader is moving ahead in the polls. Taking advantage of a nice-guy image, Timo Soini could undermine Finland’s political establishment. 
With the adoption of the euro on 1st January, Estonia, now a member of NATO, the EU and the Eurozone, became the most "Western" of the Nordic countries. However, the country’s drive to join Europe has been marked by political reflexes reminiscent of the Soviet past that it would prefer to set aside.
As the world gets bigger, and the rush for the resources beneath the Artic sea intensifies, the countries of Europe’s far North are seeking common cause. 
The Sweden Democrats’ breakthrough at the polls on 19 September is no anomaly: throughout northern European, in societies hitherto admired for their tolerance and cohesion, overtly xenophobic parties are now riding a wave of anti-immigrant sentiment. 
Constant hold-ups, skyrocketing costs, faulty construction…Finland’s new Olkiluoto reactor, touted as the great white hope for Europe’s nuclear sector, is looking more and more like a great white elephant – and casting a fat black shadow over the whole industry. - 1 of 2
