  • State of Populism in Europe
    2018 State of Populism in Europe The past few years have seen a surge in the public support of populist, Eurosceptical and radical parties throughout almost the entire European Union. In several countries, their popularity matches or even exceeds the level of public support of the centre-left. Even though the centre-left parties, think tanks and researchers are aware of this challenge, there is still more OF POPULISM IN EUROPE – 2018 STATE that could be done in this fi eld. There is occasional research on individual populist parties in some countries, but there is no regular overview – updated every year – how the popularity of populist parties changes in the EU Member States, where new parties appear and old ones disappear. That is the reason why FEPS and Policy Solutions have launched this series of yearbooks, entitled “State of Populism in Europe”. *** FEPS is the fi rst progressive political foundation established at the European level. Created in 2007 and co-fi nanced by the European Parliament, it aims at establishing an intellectual crossroad between social democracy and the European project. Policy Solutions is a progressive political research institute based in Budapest. Among the pre-eminent areas of its research are the investigation of how the quality of democracy evolves, the analysis of factors driving populism, and election research.

[email protected] Szerkesztésért felelős személy: Chen Xin Kiadásért felelős személy: Huang Ping china-cee.eu Further tensions on the political scene The political turmoil seems to continue even after the installation of the third Government from the part of the actual coalition, which holds the majority in the Romanian Parliament. Moreover, the tensions between the President and the Government escalated in the last period. While protests related to the Government measures took place again in the month of May, the coalition parties announce a large political rally for the support of the actual Government. The lately changes of the political membership of some of the Members of the Parliament started to put some pressure on the Government, but the success of a censure motion against it is still reduced. At the end of April, the President demanded the resignation of Viorica Dăncilă from the post of Prime Minister, on the presumption that she cannot deal with such a position. The announcement was made after the Prime-Minister refused to meet the invitation received for participating to a meeting in which the President intended to mediate the tensioned conflict between the Government and the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and the National Bank of Romania (NBR). At that point, the two institutions accused each other for conducting or supporting vicious monetary policies.

  • A Look at the New European Parliament Page 1 INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMITTEE (INTA)
    THE NEW EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT KEY COMMITTEE COMPOSITION 31 JULY 2019 INTRODUCTION After several marathon sessions, the European Council agreed on the line-up for the EU “top jobs” on 2 July 2019. The deal, which notably saw German Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen (CDU, EPP) surprisingly designated as the next European Commission (EC) President, meant that the European Parliament (EP) could proceed with the election of its own leadership on 3 July. The EPP and Renew Europe (formerly ALDE) groups, in line with the agreement, did not present candidates for the EP President. As such, the vote pitted the S&D’s David-Maria Sassoli (IT) against two former Spitzenkandidaten – Ska Keller (DE) of the Greens and Jan Zahradil (CZ) of the ACRE/ECR, alongside placeholder candidate Sira Rego (ES) of GUE. Sassoli was elected President for the first half of the 2019 – 2024 mandate, while the EPP (presumably EPP Spitzenkandidat Manfred Weber) would take the reins from January 2022. The vote was largely seen as a formality and a demonstration of the three largest Groups’ capacity to govern. However, Zahradil received almost 100 votes (more than the total votes of the ECR group), and Keller received almost twice as many votes as there are Greens/EFA MEPs. This forced a second round in which Sassoli was narrowly elected with just 11 more than the necessary simple majority. Close to 12% of MEPs did not cast a ballot. MEPs also elected 14 Vice-Presidents (VPs): Mairead McGuinness (EPP, IE), Pedro Silva Pereira (S&D, PT), Rainer Wieland (EPP, DE), Katarina Barley (S&D, DE), Othmar Karas (EPP, AT), Ewa Kopacz (EPP, PL), Klara Dobrev (S&D, HU), Dita Charanzová (RE, CZ), Nicola Beer (RE, DE), Lívia Járóka (EPP, HU) and Heidi Hautala (Greens/EFA, FI) were elected in the first ballot, while Marcel Kolaja (Greens/EFA, CZ), Dimitrios Papadimoulis (GUE/NGL, EL) and Fabio Massimo Castaldo (NI, IT) needed the second round.

  • Volodymyr Zelensky President Ukraine CC
    Volodymyr Zelensky President Ukraine CC: Federica Mogherini High Representative of the Union Brussels, 04 september 2019 Dear President, It has come to our attention that the Russian Federation has requested that Mr Vladimir Borisovich Tsemakh be handed over as part of a prisoner exchange negotiated between the Russian Federation and Ukraine. Mr Tsemakh is a former commander of pro-Russian air defence forces in the non-government controlled territory of the so-called "Donetsk People's Republic" and is a key suspect in the tragedy of passenger flight MH17, shot down in eastern Ukraine on 17 July 2014 by a Russian BUK missile. All 298 people on board, including 196 Dutch, were killed. While we understand the context within which such negotiations are taking place and the diplomatic efforts by the Ukrainian authorities to this end, Mr Tsemakh is a suspect in the criminal investigation related to the downing of flight MH17 and his availability and testimony before the Joint Investigation Team is thus of the utmost importance for an effective prosecution by the countries involved. Mr Tsemakh is a Ukrainian citizen and is under Ukrainian custody. UNSC resolution 2166 demands that those directly or indirectly responsible for the downing of MH17 must be held accountable and must be brought to justice. The European Parliament and the European Council have reiterated on numerous occasions their full support to the work of the Joint Investigation Team and the ongoing efforts. All States that are in a position to assist with the investigation and prosecution of those responsible must fully cooperate with the ongoing criminal investigation.

  • Facebook in the 2019 Romanian EP Elections
    ORIGINAL ARTICLE European Elections, National Agenda: Facebook in the 2019 Romanian EP Elections Flavia Ţăran ORCID: 0000-0002-7107-5582 BABEȘ-BOLYAI UNIVERSITY, CLUJ-NAPOCA, ROMANIA Flavia Ţăran, Alexandra Catalina Ormenișan ORCID: 0000-0002-7454-2385 BABEȘ-BOLYAI UNIVERSITY, CLUJ-NAPOCA, ROMANIA https://doi.org/10.19195/1899-5101.13.1(25).5 ABSTRACT: Politicians and political campaigns are not inadvertent to the development of social media platforms as environments that allow access to a larger audience. Not relying solely on the traditional media as a mouthpiece for their messages and taking matters into their own hands off ers new segues for analyzing political communication. However, not all elections are of equal interest, both for the electorate and for the candidates, as second-order election theory suggests (Reif & Schmitt, 1980; Hix & Marsh, 2004). Th is paper investigates the area situated at the intersection of these two research directions. Th is quantitative study aims to analyze how Romanian political par- ties and candidates used Facebook in the electoral campaign for the European Parliament, in May 2019. Th e study follows the correlation between Facebook metrics, like frequency of posts and the popularity of the pages, and the political agendas refl ected in each party’s Facebook posts. Th e con- clusions are consistent with second-order elections theory, but raise questions about the dependable nature of Facebook metrics. KEYWORDS: European Parliament, elections, Romania, Facebook. INTRODUCTION Th e spread of the World Wide Web has indisputably left a mark on the way com- munication is carried out, challenging the established paradigms. Unlike trad- itional media, which enables a more passive consumption of information, the digital media, especially social network sites, impose a multidirectional fl ow, al- lowing users to interact with each other (Himelboim et al., 2012).

Trubceac A key social driver in The Republic of Moldova, following the collapse of the Soviet Union, has been the establishment of a state education system that emphasizes cultural pluralism and interculturalism. Educational research about the Republic of Moldova shows an increased motivation among contemporary secondary education social studies teachers to incorporate multicultural education and to enhance their professional skills in helping students to deal with violence, conflicts, and interethnic, linguistic, and cultural tensions. In the Republic of Moldova, secondary education social studies are required by the state education system to teach civic and citizenship education for the purpose of developing a harmonious society. However, there are no formal or required multicultural and peace education dimensions in Moldova’s system of education. In order for Moldovan youth to successfully understand the historic and contemporary ethnic

  • Clean Romania! the Monitoring of Candidates' Integrity for The
    Clean Romania! The Monitoring of Candidates’ Integrity for the European Elections 2019 Romanian Academic Society (Secretariat) -www.romaniacurata.ro Bucharest, May 20, 2019 How do Romanian candidates for European Parliament elections fair on integrity? This is a legitimate question in a country where corruption has been the sole campaign topic and even a referendum is organized simultaneously with elections for EP asking the voters to declare themselves against amnesty for corrupt acts and government ordinances on criminal policy. The referendum has been proposed and promoted by President Klaus Iohannis, ex head of National Liberal Party (PNL), whose electoral rally he also attended in the current campaign. The voting is organized by the government, who is in bitter opposition to Mr. Iohannis and is shared between Social Democrats (PSD) and the liberal splinter ALDE. A new anti-system party, 2020 USR+ (Alliance 2020 Save Romania Plus) has also called for a referendum to ban from running in elections candidates with prior criminal convictions and rally for a renewed political class with top integrity credentials. And now the fact checking. Since 2004, the Coalition for a Clean Parliament (CPC), part of the Alliance for a Clean Romania Alliance (www.romaniacurata.ro), has monitored all elections on the integrity of candidates. The criteria were established with political parties and occasionally integrity contracts were signed. Historical monitoring can be seen here http://www.romaniacurata.ro/liste-negre/ and was covered by the national and international media. For the 2019 elections a total of 86 integrity candidates were monitored as follows: ➢ 11 (the first placed on lists) from parties credited with chances to exceed the electoral threshold according to opinion polls (PSD, Alliance 2020 USR PLUS, PNL, ALDE, PMP (party of former President Traian Basescu), Pro Romania and UDMR (Hungarian Alliance)) - a total of 77 candidates.
