  • Ihre Afd-Delegation Informiert Über Die Arbeit Im EU-Parlament
    Ihre AfD-Delegation informiert über die Arbeit im EU-Parlament Ausgabe #2 / September 2020 2 Liebe Leser, in den vergangenen Wochen ist in Brüssel trotz – oder gerade wegen? - der parlamentari- schen Sommerpause viel passiert. Mitten in der Urlaubszeit leitete die EU-Kommission ei- nen neuen Migrationspakt in die Wege. Um demokratischen Anschein zu wahren, konnten die Bürger auf einer gut versteckten Webseite der Kommission vier Wochen lang ihre Mei- nung hierzu kundtun. Davon machten bis vier Tage vor Einsendeschluss europaweit noch nicht einmal einhundert Menschen Gebrauch. Alles geschah weitestgehend unter Aus- schluss der Öffentlichkeit, bis wir auf diese Pläne aufmerksam wurden, eine kleine Kam- pagne starteten, und auch die anderen patriotischen Parteien hierfür sensibilisierten. In kürzester Zeit erreichten wir hunderttausende Menschen, knapp 2.000 überwiegend ablehnende Bürgerzuschriften gingen bei der Kommission ein – die Eurokraten haben nun viel Lesestoff. Was es mit dem neuen Migrationspakt auf sich hat, lesen Sie in dieser zwei- ten Ausgabe unseres „Blicks auf Brüssel“. Weitere Themen sind die Rede zur „Lage der Europäischen Union“ von Kommissionspräsi- dentin Ursula von der Leyen, die unser Delegationsleiter Prof. Dr. Jörg Meuthen ordentlich zerpflückt hat. Außerdem geht es um die Brandstiftungen in Moria, um Nord Stream 2, um Guido Reils neues Buch über Obdachlosigkeit und um vieles mehr. Wir wünschen Ihnen viel Lesevergnügen!

  • Question for Written Answer E-003824/2019/Rev.1 to the Commission Rule 138 Christine Anderson (ID), Charlie Weimers (ECR)
    Question for written answer E-003824/2019/rev.1 to the Commission Rule 138 Christine Anderson (ID), Charlie Weimers (ECR) Subject: Commission programme ‘Sport as a means of integration and social inclusion for migrants’ The Commission has set up a programme to promote, among other things, the ‘exchange of successful methods for integrating migrants’ through sporting activities. This encompasses various projects such as SFR-2287CF34 in Germany (EUR 240 000) and SFR-A72056BB in Italy (EUR 200 740). How many so-called migrants (broken down by age, gender, country of origin and project supported) are taking part in the programme? EUR 2 million have been set aside for the programme in the 2016-2018 funding period. What results are known to the Commission (with an indication of the survey and evaluation methods) in terms of successful integration? German football is seeing an increase in violent incidents. A whole team (BV Altenessen 06 II) was recently suspended after players and the coach attacked the referee. The names of players would indicate a migrant background (due to EU-data protection rules their names can not be published) Does the Commission programme include measures to prevent similar outbreaks of violence in sport from happening in the context of the projects? If no such measures have been put in place yet, how might the Commission support the Member States in the fight against acts of violence in sport carried out by migrants? Supporters1 1 This question is supported by Members other than the authors: Guido Reil (ID), Lars Patrick Berg (ID), Markus Buchheit (ID), Maximilian Krah (ID), Bernhard Zimniok (ID), Catherine Griset (ID), Gunnar Beck (ID), Sylvia Limmer (ID), Joachim Kuhs (ID), Nicolaus Fest (ID), Jörg Meuthen (ID) PE644.443v02-00.

  • LSE European Politics and Policy (EUROPP) Blog: Karas Vs Kurz
    LSE European Politics and Policy (EUROPP) Blog: Karas vs Kurz: Why Austria’s Chancellor faces some difficult choices ahead of the 2019 European Page 1 of 3 Parliament elections Karas vs Kurz: Why Austria’s Chancellor faces some difficult choices ahead of the 2019 European Parliament elections Othmar Karas, the leader of the Austrian People’s Party’s (ÖVP) delegation to the European Parliament, is widely viewed as one of the most influential Austrian MEPs. However, as Michael Burri explains, Karas is now posing some difficult questions for the ÖVP and its Chancellor Sebastian Kurz ahead of the next European Parliament elections in May 2019. The European Parliament (EP) recently passed a modest electoral reform package designed to address worries about another low turnout in the next EP elections in May 2019. But the bigger worry for many is that voters across Europe who rewarded anti-EU sentiment in national elections in 2017 will do the same again. A European Parliament tailored to the agenda of Eurosceptic members would make the EP a much different institution than it is today. But the latest tumult over the European Parliament elections in Austria, a country where national political sentiment turned against the EU in 2017, suggests some of the risks that such a shift can bring for ruling parties, and the situation is exposing fractures between national and European party leaders. Situated along this fracture line is Othmar Karas, the leader of the Austrian People’s Party’s (ÖVP) delegation to the European Parliament. First elected to the European Parliament in 1999, Karas has worked his way through various leadership positions, including a term as an EP Vice President (2012-2014).
