Viktor Orbán Hungary will not be a colony. Krisztina Morvai, member of the European Parliament Introduction1 The study examines Hungary’s “illiberal turn” and the new-old geopolitical imaginaries which its rulers have been constructing. Since its landslide victory in 2010, the Fidesz – Hungarian Civic Alliance, led by the charismatic prime minister Viktor Orbán have been transforming Hungary’s political system in ways that have drawn significant international criticism.

  • Gender Equality and Turkey's 2023 Goals
    GENDER EQUALITY AND TURKEY’S 2023 GOALS This article provides an overview of Turkey’s recent developments in combating violence against women, as well as in gender equality in education, labor force participation, and politics. The author presents a set of suggestions related to legislation and implementation for each topic addressed. She also argues that, as important as legislation is for improving women’s rights, on its own it is not sufficient for achieving gender equality. Gender equality requires Turkey’s transformation from a male-oriented mentality towards an egalitarian mentality. Emine Bozkurt* Summer 2013 * Emine Bozkurt has been a Member of the European Parliament from the Netherlands since 2004. She is the European Parliament’s rapporteur on women’s rights in Turkey and also contributes to the European Commission’s Turkey Progress Reports in the area of women’s rights. 27 VOLUME 12 NUMBER 2 EMİNE BOZKURT he year 2023 will mark the 100th anniversary of the proclamation of the Turkish Republic. The symbolism of this date has led to 2023 be- ing set as the “deadline” of many financial, political, and social targets. In the meantime, the European Union is also busy realizing the targets T 1 of “Europe 2020”: its strategy for smart, sustainable, and inclusive growth. The Europe 2020 Strategy depicts the transformation Europe is to undergo in order to return to the growth trajectory pursued prior to the financial crisis, and to raise its potential to extend beyond it. The 2023 targets of Turkey, a candidate country for EU membership, cannot be seen as completely detached from the Europe 2020 Strategy.

Dit beleidsverslag is een verantwoording van het gevoerde beleid van het partijbestuur. Twee gebeurtenissen waren van grote invloed op de partij zoals die thans (medio april 2008) functio­ neert. Ten eerste de vervroegde Tweede Kamerverkiezingen van november 2006, weliswaar met het zetelver­ lies, maar toch met als resultaat dat de PvdA op 22 februari 2007 zijn rol als oppositiepartij verwissel­ de voor die van regeringspartij. Per genoemde datum vormt de PvdA samen met het CDA en de Christen Unie het kabinet-Balkenende IV. Ten tweede de tussentijdse partijbestuurswisseling. Het in december 2005 gekozen partijbestuur trad in april 2007 vervroegd af. Op voorwerk van een interim-bestuur koos het PvdA-congres op 6 oktober 2007 een nieuw partijbestuur.

  • 20130626 Prime Minister Letter USTR
    H.E. Petr Ne čas Prime Minister of the Czech Republic Úřad vlády České republiky náb ř. Edvarda Beneše 4 118 01 Praha 1 e-mail: [email protected] Brussels, 24 April 2013 Dear Prime Minister Ne čas, It is with great alarm that we are following the situation in the Czech Republic, where incomprehensible developments are taking place related to the outstanding Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes and its subordinate, the Security Services Archive. In only 5 years of their existence, both institutions have gained impressive international recognition for their pioneering work and high standards both on the domestic and European level - as frontrunners among similar institutions working on coming to terms with the terrible legacy of totalitarianism in Europe. The Institutions have earned their international reputation for producing high quality publications, exhibitions and for organizing high profile conferences. The access provided to the files of the former totalitarian secret services is the most liberal worldwide and the digitalization of archival documents proceeds at an unsurpassed speed. Moreover, the Institute has been the promoter of a unique process of uniting over twenty partner institutions from 13 EU Member States in the Platform of European Memory and Conscience, which was endorsed by an overwhelming majority of the European Parliament in its Resolution on European Conscience and Totalitarianism of 2 April 2009 as well as by the EU Council in 2009 and 2011 and the European Commission in 2010. We have stood in close and mutually enriching cooperation with the Institute for the past five years. We have now learned that, on 10 April 2013, the newly elected Institute Council dismissed acting Director Daniel Herman from office in the middle of his five-year term and that the entire 15-member Scientific Council of the Institute, consisting of domestic and international academic experts, resigned within two days thereupon.
