Minor stumbles can lead to big falls in Germany. Ministers are tumbling like lemmings over scandals around plagiarised theses and invitations to travel abroad. What gets the Germans so worked up? 
The switching of horsemeat for beef is a spectacular signal that a limit has been reached, says columnist John Gapper. 
The horsemeat scandal has taken on European proportions. While European countries seek to blame each other, they are ignoring the underlying problem, which is that the economic crisis has meant that low income families are increasingly dependent on cheap meat. 
People have grown used to thinking of Poland as a country of emigrants — just ask the British, the Irish or the Germans. Yet more and more foreigners are now applying for Polish citizenship. Warsaw’s Rzeczpospolita daily reports.
Amid controversy about a possible “influx” of Eastern European workers, a young Bulgarian woman named Ralitsa wrote an open letter to British Eurosceptic leader Nigel Farage that was widely reproduced in the Bulgarian press. Here is the MEP’s reply. 
The comments of UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage regarding the "influx" of foreign workers who would arrive in the Britain following the opening up of the UK labour market to Bulgarians and Romanians in 2014 has provoked angry reactions from Sofia. One young Edinburgh-educated Bulgarian woman wrote an open letter to the Eurosceptic MEP. 
Ice dancer Deividas Stagniunas’ American partner has recently had her application for a Lithuanian passport turned down. The decision has reignited the debate on the identity of a country that is opening up to the rest of the world.

But the eurozone crisis makes this prospect less likely. 
One out of four Portuguese young people is unemployed. To find work, these youngsters are ready to become expatriates, and the languages they learn before leaving - German, Russian, Chinese or Arabic - draw a map of their new promised lands. 
Victims of the crisis and its consequences, non-European migrants have started to head home. In a centre in Athens, they talk bitterly of the setback that repatriation represents for them. 
For a month and a half Catholic Republicans and Protestants loyal to the crown have clashed over the issue of the flying of the British union flag over Belfast City Hall. But this hostility is latent throughout daily life, as a Spanish journalist discovered in... Madrid Street. 
Twenty years ago, Czechoslovakia split in two new countries. If the Czech Republic and Slovakia had stayed together and transformed the impoverished former nation into a multi-ethnic country, both societies would be more democratic today, argues a dual-nationality columnist. 
In the Internet age, anyone can be an author, journalist, publisher, and anyone can earn money from it: So went the mantra. But the democratisation of information never happened.
