Drugs: No to ‘shooting galleries’ in France
13 August 2010PresseuropLibération
Norway, a a member of the European Economic Area, but not the EU, is the dream country for British eurosceptics. But could it work for countries that want to jump the European ship? 
Triumphant a decade ago, today social democrats have been voted out office in most European countries — a change that is due to a lack of new proposals, but also and more importantly to the right’s appropriation of the language and ideas of social democracy. 
Located in a former factory in Cluj, the Transylvanian capital, a contemporary art centre managed by several galleries and artists' collectives is trying to break into the European art scene. 
In the run-up to the opening of the trial of extreme right terrorist Anders Breivik, which is set to begin in Oslo on 16 April, a Norwegian journalist contests the myth of Norway’s “lost innocence”, which has been a feature of international press coverage of the aftermath of the Utøya massacre. 
Fleeing unemployment, hundreds of Spanish are migrating to idealised Norway in search of work. Few have had much luck. Many have found only unemployment, cold and despair. Another chapter in the great crisis afflicting Spain. 
In a time of crisis with high unemployment, young Lithuanians are following in the footsteps of their emigrant ancestors. Tens of thousands have left the country in search of a better life, mainly in the British Isles and Scandinavia. The weekly Veidas reports: 
Can the radical manifesto of the killer of Oslo and Utøya really be staged? A theatre project in Copenhagen has raised strong protests in Norway and Denmark. But hearing the words of Breivik’s Manifesto 2083 is vital for understanding our times, responds its director, Christian Lollike. 
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. 
The attacks in Oslo and on Utøya came as a shock to the Norwegians. For the EU, they are a call to finally take up a real policy of diversity, writes a columnist in Romania. 
Beyond the political delusions that pushed Anders Breivik to assassinate more than 70 people, it is evil in it most imbecile form that was revealed by his actions, says Italian writer Claudio Magris.
The murderous attacks by Anders Behring Breivik on July 22 have shocked a nation that prided itself on its collectivist model based on tolerance and egalitarianism. A New York Times report. 
Although Anders Breivik was solely responsible for the atrocities in Norway, his far-fetched ideas clearly owe much to a culture of populism. A Dutch historian argues that the events which took place on 22 July ought to be considered in the context of political trends in Europe.
In the wake of the Oslo bomb attack and massacre on Utøya island, attention is focused on far-right extremist groups proliferating on the web. But their members have little in common with traditional neo-nazis and extremist conservative movements. 
There is nothing in the mind of Norway’s mass killer that needs studying. Instead of rationalising his deeds, we'd do better to ignore his narcissism and puerile ideology, writes columnist and London's mayor Boris Johnson. 
Right up to the slaughter of 22 July, Norway was considered immunised against extremism. Lacking real political connections, a radical movement has nonetheless organised. And its extent remains unknown. 
At least 93 dead and 97 wounded: the dual attack perpetrated on 22 July by right-wing fundamentalist Anders Behring Breivik has shocked the people of Norway. In an editorial published in the wake of the carnage, the daily Dagbladet calls on the citizens of the country not to give in to fear or the temptation to impose a police state. 
From the eastern Baltic to the western straits, Scandinavians are building everything underground: roads, tunnels, and even huge shopping malls. Polish weekly Polityka reports. 
Italy has requested financial assistance from the EU to cope with the wave of migrants from north Africa. Instead of increasing the budget of Frontex, the border security agency, the EU should rather reform its asylum policy to foster economic integration of immigrants. 
In one corner - Germany, in search of skilled workers to feed its recovery. In the other, a Spain in crisis, where young graduates have no future. As in the sixties, a new flow of economic migrants might be making their way north. 
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. - 1 of 2
