Editorial: New editor at BIEN NewsFlash With this issue, I am taking over as the third editor of BIEN’s NewsFlash. What is now the NewsFlash began in 1988 as Basic Income: Newsletter of the Basic Income European Network. It was a hardcopy newsletter, meaning that copies of it were actually printed out on paper and put into an envelope, to which postage was fixed so that it could be physically carried to its recipients. The original editor was Philippe Van Parijs. In January 2000, after editing 33 issues of the newsletter, Van Parijs oversaw the transition from print to fully electronic format, along with this change came the name change to, The BIEN NewsFlash. Van Parijs edited 28 more issues after the newsletter became the NewsFlash.

Methodologically, a combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches was adopted: Content Analysis, to pinpoint recurrent thematic patterns that are relevant to the research purpose; as well as approaches of Multiple Correspondence Analysis, to verify whether the combination of the chosen variables is recurrent within the Twitter corpus purposely built for the analysis.

  • Italian Catholicism in the Face of Contemporary Socio-Political Challenges. an Attempt to Analyse
    DOI : 10.14746/pp.2019.24.1.9 Rafał DuDała The Jan Kochanowski university in Kielce ORCID: 0000-0002-9942-3470 Italian Catholicism in the Face of Contemporary Socio-political Challenges. an attempt to analyse Abstract: The analysis of the attitude of Italian citizens to social challenges – political and economic, assessed from the point of view of their own (non)religiousness, is the purpose of this study. Two meth- ods were used during the study. The comparative one, which allows indicating the diversity of views of socio-religious groups, and the statistical one, including the quantitative and qualitative approach. The implementation of the chosen goal was based on the adoption of research hypotheses confirmed by the collected material. First of all: on many issues, the views of believers are consistent with the opinions of non-believers and distant in relation to the official position of the Church and hierarchy. Secondly, the views of people declaring themselves as believers differ, which proves that religion is not the primary reference for assessing changes within the political system. In the field of research, the change and collapse of the image of a culturally homogenous state can be noticed. The religious homo- geneity of Italy does not confirm the growing number of people declaring themselves as non-believers and non-Catholic religionists. This is also not confirmed by the diversity within the group of Catholics who, in the assessment of social phenomena and political events, are inclined to follow non-religious reasons, mainly programs of right-wing parties, often populist and anti-system, which many Italian Catholics support.

  • Report 2021, No. 4
    News Agency on Conservative Europe Report 2021, No. 4. Report on conservative and right wing Europe 20th February 2021 GERMANY 1. jungefreiheit.de (translated, original by jungefreiheit.de, 19.02.2021) One year after Hanau's bloody act: SPD politicians attack AfD BERLIN. A year after the bloody act in Hanau, leading SPD politicians made the AfD jointly responsible for this and called for consequences. The leader of the SPD parliamentary group in the Bundestag, Rolf Mützenich, told Spiegel : "The enemies of our democracy are purposefully poisoning the social climate in order to stir up discord and specifically turn people into objects of hatred." With the AfD, “these intellectual arsonists would also sit in our parliaments. With the words of Höcke, Gauland and Co., perpetrators like the Hanau murderer feel confirmed and proceed to the unspeakable act. We have to counter this, also legally ”. He referred to the law against right-wing extremism and hate crime , which must now be implemented, as well as to the Democracy Promotion Act , which primarily supports left-wing organizations. 2 A year ago, 43-year-old Tobias R. shot nine people with foreign roots in Hanau, Hesse , after which he judged his mother and himself. Before that, the man had published several videos and pamphlets with conspiracy-theoretical and sometimes racist content on the Internet. According to an expert opinion, Tobias R. suffered from a paranoid schizophrenic and was shaped by a racist ideology. Habeck calls for "right-wing extremism task force" Several politicians had already spoken of a “right-wing extremist attack” shortly after the crime and made the AfD jointly responsible for it.
