    Politics and Governance (ISSN: 2183–2463) 2020, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 217–225 DOI: 10.17645/pag.v8i1.2539 Article Veridiction and Leadership in Transnational Populism: The Case of DiEM25 Evangelos Fanoulis 1 and Simona Guerra 2,* 1 Department of International Relations, Xi’an Jiaotong–Liverpool University, 215123 Suzhou, China; E-Mail: [email protected] 2 School of History, Politics and International Relations, University of Leicester, Leicester, LE1 7RH, UK; E-Mail: [email protected] * Corresponding author Submitted: 3 October 2019 | Accepted: 16 January 2020 | Published: 5 March 2020 Abstract While research tends to explore questions of power and leadership at the national level, populism in Europe has moved be- yond national borders, with an increasing number of transnational movements and organizations. This article investigates the Democracy in Europe Movement 2025 (DiEM25) and its leadership’s main speeches. Informed by both discourse theory and Michel Foucault’s work on parrhesia (veridiction), the analysis draws on readings of transnational Euroalternativism and populism, pointing out the conflicting logic of bringing them together at the transnational level. Our findings thus stress the increasing politicization of European integration as an opportunity to mobilize transnational activities, which are based on the populist ‘people vs. the elites’ dichotomy and against Brussels’ unaccountable elites (see FitzGibbon & Guerra, 2019), while indicating the limits of leadership in a populist transnational movement (de Cleen, Moffitt, Panayotu, & Stavrakakis, 2019; Marzolini & Souvlis, 2016). Keywords discourse analysis; Euroalternativism; leadership; parrhesia; power relations; transnational populism Issue This article is part of the issue “Leadership, Populism and Power” edited by Cristine de Clercy (Western University, Canada).

  • 2019 European Elections the Weight of the Electorates Compared to the Electoral Weight of the Parliamentary Groups
    2019 European Elections The weight of the electorates compared to the electoral weight of the parliamentary groups Guillemette Lano Raphaël Grelon With the assistance of Victor Delage and Dominique Reynié July 2019 2019 European Elections. The weight of the electorates | Fondation pour l’innovation politique I. DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN THE WEIGHT OF ELECTORATES AND THE ELECTORAL WEIGHT OF PARLIAMENTARY GROUPS The Fondation pour l’innovation politique wished to reflect on the European elections in May 2019 by assessing the weight of electorates across the European constituency independently of the electoral weight represented by the parliamentary groups comprised post-election. For example, we have reconstructed a right-wing Eurosceptic electorate by aggregating the votes in favour of right-wing national lists whose discourses are hostile to the European Union. In this case, for instance, this methodology has led us to assign those who voted for Fidesz not to the European People’s Party (EPP) group but rather to an electorate which we describe as the “populist right and extreme right” in which we also include those who voted for the Italian Lega, the French National Rally, the Austrian FPÖ and the Sweden Democrats. Likewise, Slovak SMER voters were detached from the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats (S&D) Group and instead categorised as part of an electorate which we describe as the “populist left and extreme left”. A. The data collected The electoral results were collected list by list, country by country 1, from the websites of the national parliaments and governments of each of the States of the Union. We then aggregated these data at the European level, thus obtaining: – the number of individuals registered on the electoral lists on the date of the elections, or the registered voters; – the number of votes, or the voters; – the number of valid votes in favour of each of the lists, or the votes cast; – the number of invalid votes, or the blank or invalid votes.

In each of these countries an online panel will be carried out just before and just after the legislative elections. This report pertains to the pre-election panel of Greece legislative elections 2019 to be held on 7 July. Our questionnaire seeks to model the political context of political choices, and to understand the importance which European attitudes may have in voting behaviour. In Greece, we have partnered with Metron Analysis. We present in this report a number of political attitudes according to stated partisanship in Greece. We are interested in the way in which partisan preferences are related to political attitudes, including national issues as well as those pertaining to the EU.

  • Statement by OSCE Chairperson-In-Office Dora
    Statement by the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office Foreign Minister of Greece H.E. Mrs. Dora Bakoyannis 18th Annual Session of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly Vilnius, 30 June 2009 Mr President, Excellencies Ladies and Gentlemen, I thank the Lithuanian authorities for hosting the 18th Annual Session of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly. This initiative highlights the leadership role that Lithuania already plays in the OSCE, and the excellent preparations this country, its leaders and its society are taking to lead the Organization in 2011. It is a pleasure to be here. The OSCE has always benefitted from the ideas that the Parliamentary Assembly generates. Especially when times are challenging, the exchange of fresh ideas is vital for the good health of the Organization and for stimulating the participating States to act in new directions. Being myself a Parliamentarian, I have a great appreciation for the Parliamentary Assembly’s role and added value it brings to our Organization. I maintain close links with all the members of the Greek delegation to the PA and I cooperate closely with Panayiotis Skandalakis my Personal Representative for election-related issues, and with Petros Efthymiou who is the Chairman of the Second Committee of the Parliamentary Assembly, as well as with the Finnish Vice-President of the Parliamentary Assembly Kimmo Kiljunen, whom I have appointed as the CiO Representative for election- observation mechanisms and who reports personally to me. The Reports presented to this Annual Session and the topics covered by the Supplementary Items highlight the collective ingenuity of the Parliamentary Assembly. The reports on food security and the economic crisis, the items on energy security, Afghanistan and the freedom of expression propose new angles to important subjects.

    GENERAL ELECTIONS IN GREECE 6th May 2012 European Elections monitor Great Uncertainty just one Month before the next Greek General Elections Corinne Deloy (with Stellina Galitopoulou) On 31st October last Prime Minister George Papandreou (Panhellenic Socialist Movement, PASOK) announced the organisation of a referendum on the rescue plan for Greece approved by the Euro- Analysis pean Union on 27th October in Brussels. The latter aimed to help Greece pay off its debts but obliged 1 month before the country to submit to economic supervision and to implement a stricter austerity regime. The the poll announcement was the source of stupor and indignation in Greece and across all of Europe – it sent the European, American and Asian stock exchanges into disarray and surprised the financial markets. “It’s suicide”, declared Michalis Matsourakis, chief economist at the Greek Alpha Bank, who perceived an attempt on the part of George Papandreou to break out of his solitude and the political crisis that was undermining the country as he pushed the opposition parties, which until now had categorically refused to support the strict austerity measures taken by the government, to adopt a position on the European plan, in order to calm the social protest movement that went together with a sharp decline in living standards. The Prime Minister, who was finding it increasingly difficult to find support within his own socialist party and the ministers of his government, had already suggested to the opposition that they create an alliance in the shape of a government coalition in June 2011. The right however, rejected this proposal.

We submit the confirmatory application on the following grounds that the ECB has a legal obligation to disclose documents based on Article 2 (1) ECB/2004/3 in conjunction with Article 15 (3) TFEU. Presumption of the exceptions set out in Article 4 (2) ECB/2004/3 (undermining of the protection of court proceedings and legal advice) and Article 4 (3) ECB/2004/3 (undermining of the deliberation process) is unlawful. 1. Protection of legal advice, no undermining of legitimate interests – irrelevance of intentions, future deliberations and ‘erga omnes’ effects In your letter you state, “In the case at hand, public release of the legal opinion – which was sought by the ECB’s decision-making bodies and intended exclusively for their information and consideration – would undermine the ECB’s legitimate interest in receiving frank, objective and comprehensive legal advice.

I identify three types of dynamics of party systems: different patterns of coalition and opposition, different patterns of expression of social cleavages through parties, and redefinitions of the meaning attached to the main axis of competition. These dynamics provide partisan actors with the ideational resources to make sense of changes in the international system, contribute to the creation of new (domestic and foreign) policy preferences and bring about political incentives for the promotion of new foreign policies.

  • Albania After Kosovo Independence and the Nato Decision – Some Perspectives
    Advanced Research and Assessment Group Balkans 08/30 Defence Academy of the United Kingdom Albania After Kosovo Independence and the Nato Decision – Some Perspectives James Pettifer Key Points * The Kosovo independence decision is likely to increase the general standing of Albania in the Balkans somewhat. * This trend will be augmented by the decision to progress Albanian full membership of NATO taken at the 2008 summit. * The Berisha government is facing many serious problems, and the economy is beginning to show signs of serious stress. * The reforms required to progress Albania towards the EU have slowed, and rapid progress in that direction is unlikely. * Parliamentary elections are to be held by July 2009, and some increase in social and political tension should be expected. It is possible the elections may be delayed by administrative problems. * Perversely, some protection from the effects of the international banking crisis may result from the size of the informal/black economy, and overall stability is likely to be maintained. Albania After Kosovo Independence and the Nato Decision – Some Perspectives James Pettifer Introduction The government of Prime Minister Sali Berisha in Tirana is approaching the end of its term, with parliamentary elections due in mid-summer 2009. There are recent indications that the government may wish to delay the elections, as a result of problems with renewing the electoral register and identity proof requirements. This is likely to be opposed by the Opposition. The early period of this government was dominated by external pressures to advance reform programmes to prepare Albania for future EU and NATO membership.

Launched in September 2000, the Keele European Parties Research Unit (KEPRU) was the first research grouping of its kind in the UK. It brings together the hitherto largely independent work of Keele researchers focusing on European political parties, and aims: • to facilitate its members' engagement in high-quality academic research, individually, collectively in the Unit and in collaboration with cognate research groups and individuals in the UK and abroad; • to hold regular conferences, workshops, seminars and guest lectures on topics related to European political parties; • to publish a series of parties-related research papers by scholars from Keele and elsewhere; • to expand postgraduate training in the study of political parties, principally through Keele's MA in Parties and Elections and the multinational PhD summer school, with which its members are closely involved; • to constitute a source of expertise on European parties and party politics for media and other interests. The Unit shares the broader aims of the Keele European Research Centre, of which it is a part. KERC comprises staff and postgraduates at Keele who are actively conducting research into the politics of remaking and integrating Europe.
