BILDERBERG 2015 63Ème Conférence Bilderberg 11-14 Juin 2015 Telfs-Buchen Autriche BILDERBERG 2015 63ème conférence Bilderberg 11-14 Juin 2015 Telfs-Buchen Autriche 1 km Littéralement « montagne d’image », le Groupe Bilderberg tient son nom de l’hôtel ayant accueilli la première édition en 1954. Depuis trois ans, je documente les périphéries de ce congrès hermétique. 4 5 Réunion annuelle sur invitation, le Bilderberg héberge officieusement 130 participants provenant principalement du monde occidental. 6 7 Chaque année, un hôtel au décor impénétrable est réservé pour permettre ce rassemblement d’acteurs majeurs du monde politique, monarchique, diplomatique, économique et médiatique. 8 9 Une zone intérdite est définie. Un déploiement massif de forces de sécurité est mis en place à l’intérieur de la propriété privée, débordant également sur les lieux publics. 10 11 Des milliers de policiers, des militaires et d’avions de surveillance oeuvrent à l’opacité de ces rencontres. Aucune conférence de presse à l’agenda ni aucun bilan rendu public. 12 13 Mon intérêt se focalise sur la limite territoriale établie pendant la conférence. Une frontière tantôt floue, tantôt rigoureuse, évoluant jour aprés jour. 14 15 Muni d’une chambre photographique, cantonné sur le sol public, j’ai malgré tout subi onze contrôles de police et trois menaces d’arrestation. 16 17 La prochaine réunion se tiendra quelque part à Dresde, en Allemagne, du 9 au 12 juin 2016. 18 19 Austria: Werner Faymann (2009, 2011, 2012) Chancellor 2008–present; Heinz Fischer (2010, 2015) Federal President 2004–present; Alfred Gusenbauer (2007, 2015) Chancellor national and current United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees; Ferro Rodrigues, former Minister of Labour and Social Solidarity and Minister of Public Works, Transport and 2007–2008; Andreas Treichl (2009), CEO of Erste Bank; Rudolf Scholten (2010), Member of the Board of Executive Directors, Oesterreichische Kontrollbank AG; Walter Rothenstei- Communications; Jorge Sampaio, former President of Portugal; Luís Mira Amaral (1995), former Minister of Labour and Social Solidarity, chairman of Caixa Geral de Depósitos and ner (2011) CEO of Raiffeisen Zentralbank; Oscar Bronner (2008 2010, 2013), 2009, 2010, 2011) Publisher and Editor, Der Standard; René Benko (2015), Founder, SIGNA Holding CEO of Banco Português de Investimento; Vítor Constâncio (1988), governor of the Banco de Portugal, Vice President of the ECB; Fernando Teixeira dos Santos (2010), former GmbH; Oscar Bronner (2015), Publisher, Standard Verlagsgesellschaft; Heinz Fischer (2015), Federal President; Alfred Gusenbauer (2015), Former Chancellor of the Republic of Minister of Finance; José Medeiros Ferreira (1977, 1980), former Minister of Foreign Affairs; Joaquim Ferreira do Amaral (1999), former Minister of Public Works, Transport and Com- Austria; Erich Hampel (2015), Chairman UniCredit Bank Austria AG; Wolfgang Hesoun (2015), CEO, Siemens Austria; Gerhard Roiss (2015), CEO, OMW Austria; Rudolf Scholten munications; António Miguel Morais Barreto (1992), former Minister of Agriculture, Rural Development and Fisheries; João Cravinho, former Minister for Environment, Spatial Plan- (2015), CEO Oesterreichische Kontrollbank AG; Karl Sevelda (2015), CEO, Raiffeisen Bank international AG.

    U N I T E D N A T I O N S N A T I O N S U N I E S THE SECRETARY-GENERAL -- ADDRESS TO INAUGURAL GLOBAL FORUM ON MIGRATION AND DEVELOPMENT Brussels, 10 July 2007 Monseigneur [Prince Philippe of Belgium] Prime Minister, Excellencies, Delegates I am honoured to welcome you to the launch of this Global Forum -- a milestone in our work to understand the connection between international migration and development, and to harness the power of one to advance the other. Let me express my deep appreciation to His Majesty King Albert of Belgium, who is recovering from a minor procedure and could not join us today. I wish him a speedy recovery. I am grateful to Prince Philippe for honouring this event with his presence, and to His Excellency Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt, and the Government of Belgium for their gracious support and hospitality. This event would not have taken place without you. The road that brought all of us to Brussels was long. It may not have been as tortuous, nor as solitary, as the road travelled by some of the world’s 200 million migrants. But in its own way, ours was a road full of detours and obstacles. I am heartened that we have reached this stage at last. For many years, Member States of our United Nations found it hard to discuss the sensitive issue of migration in the international arena. So the topic was never high on the UN agenda -- until the High-Level Dialogue at UN Headquarters in New York last September.

  • 2016 Greece Country Report | SGI Sustainable Governance Indicators
    Greece Report Dimitri A. Sotiropoulos, Kevin Featherstone, Roy Karadag (Coordinator) m o c . a i l o t o F – Sustainable Governance g i n n a v Indicators 2016 o j © Sustainable Governance SGI Indicators SGI 2016 | 2 Greece Report Executive Summary In the period under review, the progress which Greece had made up until mid- 2014 – fiscal consolidation and structural reforms – gave way to government volatility. This instability began with the parliamentary elections of January 2015, but was exacerbated by the 5 July 2015 national referendum, on the European Commission’s second-to-last proposal of reforms for Greece, called by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, leader of the new governing party Syriza. Just two months later (September 2015), political stability was further shaken when Tsipras was forced to call snap parliamentary elections as the radical left-wing faction of his left-wing party broke away, leaving the government coalition (between Syriza and the nationalist right-wing party ANEL) in danger of collapse. Prolonged negotiations between the Syriza-ANEL coalition government and the country’s creditors in the first half of 2015, combined with the previously mentioned political turmoil, brought economic activity to a standstill. As a consequence, the country’s economy, which had started growing in 2014, albeit by less than 1%, fell into depression. Capital controls were imposed on the banks when the government announced the aforementioned referendum. The Greek banking system was in dire need of recapitalization to a larger extent than previously understood. Even so, Greece’s democracy has been able to withstand long-term economic deterioration and acute political conflict.
