Where does Angela Merkel come from? How has she formed her political ideas? The Germans, like other Europeans, often ask these questions. As the September elections approach, a biography sets out to find the key to her success in her childhood in the GDR.
Ever since Latvia gained independence with the dissolution of the USSR, the status of the Russian minority has remained a divisive issue. Following a referendum on the use of the Russian language, today the focus of debate is on the question of citizenship.
The President of the European Parliament has tried to raise the profile of his institution and played the go-between between EU leaders. The next step for him? Heading the European Commission after the 2014 elections. But that will not be so easy.
Prime Minister David Cameron thought his pledge to hold a referendum on British EU membership would calm his party’s divisions. He’s now facing a rebellion backing a withdrawal from Europe and has lost the trust of the public, writes a British journalist.
The European Union may have problems such as a low population growth and internal divisions, but it is still a dynamic power capable of choosing its own destiny, argue Mark Leonard and Hans Kundnani.
Pessimists around the world repeat that the European Union is doomed because of structural weaknesses and the economic crisis. But in many fields, the EU holds its own against world powers like the United States and China, argue Mark Leonard and Hans Kundnani.
In the campaign for the legislative elections coming up on May 12, Europe is the big absentee. Unless it’s about calling for an exit from the EU – as the extreme right is – or promising that European funds will continue to pour into the coffers of the country, as the two major parties are doing.
The day after he started work, Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta went to Berlin, Paris and Brussels to pledge his commitment to Europe and voice his belief that austerity must be eased. But he may not be able to make himself heard, according to the European press.
With what will likely be the automatic appointment of the next European Commission President, the result of May 2014 European elections should endow the Brussels executive with greater legitimacy. But is this desirable, wonders a Swedish columnist.
