  • 2009: First Internet Election Year in Slovakia Case Study of Presidential, European and Regional Elections
    2009: First Internet Election Year in Slovakia Case study of Presidential, European and Regional Elections Branislav Ondrášik Faculty of Media Bratislava School of Law ABSTRACT With the rising professionalization in Slovak election campaigning the Internet (as Web 1.0), user-generated content, and Web 2.0 social networking play ever-increasing roles. The rising relevance of this multimedium as a campaign and news tool is closely connected to the rising penetration of the Internet. By 2005 11,5 percent of Slovak households were connected to the Internet while in 2007 the number jumped to 34,5 percent and in early 2008 it was reaching almost 60 percent. In 2009, three elections have taken place in Slovakia. First in March and April there were two rounds of presidential elections. It was the first Election campaign in the history of the country where Web has played a major role. All major presidential hopefuls discovered that Internet is a useful tool. Not limited to regular Web, social networking and the blogosphere were also important. For example: opposition candidate Iveta Radičová had more than 17.000 Facebook supporters. The web was a major campaign medium two months later – during the European Election Campaign. This part of the paper is expected to be the most explanatory. All the major parties have created special websites, as did many MEP candidates. However Web 2.0 was lesser factor than in the presidential election. CENMEP project data will be used for the analysis of European Election in Slovakia and will be empirically rich in its analysis. Regional Elections took place in Slovakia in November and Web campaigning started as early as September.

  • Fredrik Reinfeldt
    2014 Press release 03 June 2014 Prime Minister's Office REMINDER: German Chancellor Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister David Cameron and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte to Harpsund On Monday and Tuesday 9-10 June, Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt will host a high-level meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister David Cameron and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte at Harpsund. The European Union needs to improve job creation and growth now that the EU is gradually recovering from the economic crisis. At the same time, the EU is facing institutional changes with a new European Parliament and a new European Commission taking office in the autumn. Sweden, Germany, the UK and the Netherlands are all reform and growth-oriented countries. As far as Sweden is concerned, it will be important to emphasise structural reforms to boost EU competitiveness, strengthen the Single Market, increase trade relations and promote free movement. These issues will be at the centre of the discussions at Harpsund. Germany, the UK and the Netherlands, like Sweden, are on the World Economic Forum's list of the world's ten most competitive countries. It is natural, therefore, for these countries to come together to compare experiences and discuss EU reform. Programme points: Monday 9 June 18.30 Chancellor Merkel, PM Cameron and PM Rutte arrive at Harpsund; outdoor photo opportunity/door step. Tuesday 10 June 10.30 Joint concluding press conference.

    Country Reports on Human Rights Practices in the Slovak Republic Page 1 of 14 Slovak Republic Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2006 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor March 6, 2007 The Slovak Republic, with a population of approximately 5.4 million, is a multiparty parliamentary democracy led by a prime minister and a 150 member Narodna Rada (National Council). The head of government, Prime Minister Robert Fico of the Smer (Direction-Social Democracy) Party, was elected for a four year term in June. President Ivan Gasparovic serves as head of state and was elected for a five year term in 2004. Both elections were free and fair. Six political parties, three of which comprise the governing coalition, sit in the National Council. Civilian authorities generally maintained effective control of the security forces. The government generally respected the human rights of its citizens; however, there were problems in some areas. Notable human rights problems included lengthy pretrial detention; restrictions on freedom of religion; corruption in the judiciary, local government, and the health sector; violence against women and children; trafficking in persons; and societal discrimination and violence against Roma. The overall human rights situation did not significantly change during the year; however, a report was released that noted mistreatment of persons, particularly Roma, by police that occurred in recent years. RESPECT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS Section 1 Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom From: a. Arbitrary or Unlawful Deprivation of Life There were no reports that the government or its agents committed arbitrary or unlawful killings.

  • The Account of the Early State Parliament Elections in Saarland, Schleswig-Holstein and North Rhine-Westphalia
    The account of the early state parliament elections in Saarland, Schleswig-Holstein and North Rhine-Westphalia State parliament elections are very carefully observed by the commentators of the German political scene. They also constitute an important trial and a social popularity barometer for the leaders of the German political parties while waiting for the Bundestag or European Parliament elections. Their results bear influence on the shape of the political scene of the federal state in which they are taking place, as well as on the level of the whole Federation - the composition of the Bundesrat. The winning coalitions delegate the federal state’s No. 88 / 2012 representatives (mainly members of the local governments and high 12’07’12 officials) to the Bundesrat. No important elections will be taking place in Germany in 2012 - neither for the Bundestag, the European Institute for Western Affairs Poznań Parliament nor the state parliaments. For the majority of political parties it was supposed to be a time of consolidation before the Author: Bundestag election planned for September 2013. In the mean time, Piotr Kubiak the German public opinion focused on the scandal around President Christian Wulff during the first months of 2012. With these events in Editorial Board: Marta Götz the background, three federal states - Saarland, Schleswig-Holstein Radosław Grodzki and North Rhine-Westphalia - dissolved their parliaments and Krzysztof Malinowski scheduled early elections. Could the dissolution of those three federal state coalitions in such a short time be a first symptom of a parliamentary crisis in Germany? This undoubtedly was a precedent in the history of unified Germany and the first months of 2012 turned out to be very heated on the German political scene.
