L'aula dell'europarlamento
28.09.2006 Il primo gennaio 2007 avremo una Unione europea a 27: vi entreranno infatti anche Romania e Bulgaria. Ma il presidente della Commissione europea José Barroso ha affermato che dopo di loro sia meglio chiudere la porta. Dal 2000, quando iniziarono i negoziati per l’adesione, la Romania si sforza di mantenere gli impegni assunti: i funzionari di Strasburgo hanno riconosciuto gli sforzi compiuti da Bucarest, soprattutto nella lotta alla corruzione e nella riforma del sistema giudiziario. Romania e la Bulgaria saranno i paesi più poveri dell’Ue: malgrado la crescita economica sostenuta, gli stipendi sono aumentati di poco. Tra i ventisette paesi membri che conterà l’UE dal prossimo gennaio, la Romania occupa il settimo posto in base al numero degli abitanti. Nel parlamento europeo avrà trentacinque parlamentari che verranno eletti nelle elezioni europee del 31 dicembre del 2007 - riporta Mihaela Iordache per Osservatorio sui Balcani.

Shiia-mielenosoitus Irakissa
25.09.2006 Yhdysvaltain hallitus on kuukausia valittanut, että Iranin sekaantuminen Irakin asioihin uhkaa maan vakautta ja amerikkalaisjoukkoja siellä. Tosiasiassa Iran saattaa pidätellä Irakin shiioja hyökkäämästä täydellä voimalla amerikkalaisten kimppuun. Presidentti George W. Bushin hallitus ei näytä täysin oivaltaneen, että Yhdysvaltain miehityksen jatkuminen Irakissa riippuu nyt Iranin ja sen irakilaisten shiia-liittolaisten sietokyvystä.

Presidentti Mwanawasa
21.09.2006 Sambian vaalit, jotka on määrä pitää 28. syyskuuta, lähestyvät. Vaalit ovat maan neljännet monipuoluevaalit vuoden 1991 jälkeen, jolloin maassa 27 vuotta jatkunut yhden puolueen valta päättyi. Politiikan analyytikot uskovat, että maan istuva presidentti Levy Mwanawasa tulee taistelemaan tiukasti vaalivoitosta, joka veisi hänet toiselle ja viimeiselle kaudelle.

'No one can say that Al Gore's speech at New York University's School of Law was anything short of bold and politically courageous. Gore went places that few politicians would dare, and brought the concept of the carbon tax into the political mainstream.'
