Plans for new Selmayr Controversial
European Commission
Secretary-General Martin
Selmayr, whose sudden
promotion angered
MEPs last year and earned
a rebuke from the
European Ombudsman,
will step
down from his post
next week.
Selmayr’s departure was
one of the conditions
set by France and other
countries for Ursula von
der Leyen to become the
next EU Commission
President, something
that she confirmed at an
EPP group meeting on 15
July. Several countries
said they would not
accept a German head of
the Commission together
with a German
secretary-general.
EURACTIV France reports
that his departure opens
the way for a French
candidate to take over
this post. Selmayr has
already suggested his
replacement: Olivier
Guersent, who is
currently head of the
Directorate-General for
Financial Stability.
But Selmayr’s support
could play against
Guersent.
“The fact that Selmayr
appointed him is to his
disadvantage, even if he
is a candidate I would
be pleased to support”,
said François-Xavier
Bellamy, head of the
French EPP delegation at
the European Parliament.
The head of DG Research,
Jean-Eric Paquet, is
another potential
candidate.

BERLIN
Ursula’s legacy. CDU
boss Annegret
Kramp-Karrenbauer’s
surprise appointment as
defence minister to
replace von der Leyen,
has not been warmly
welcomed in Berlin.
Opposition parties,
liberal Free Democratic
Party (FDP) and leftist
Die Linke, have
complained about
Kramp-Karrenbauer’s lack
of expertise in the
field. Leading the
bureaucracy-driven Bundeswehr with
its past scandals is
seen by many as a tough
challenge, and has
broken many political
careers.
Rumour has it that also
Kramp-Karrenbauer isn’t
planning on staying in
the job for long and is
instead getting ready
for early parliamentary
elections. Her stint as
defence minister could
strengthen her bid to
become Germany’s next
chancellor – or wreck it,
if she follows the
inglorious path of some
of her predecessors.
Mandatory
vaccination. In
an effort to halt the
resurgence of the
disease, the German
government has decided
to make measles
vaccinations for
children mandatory from
March 2020. Parents will
have to prove that their
children are vaccinated
before they can be
admitted to
kindergartens or school.
Violations will be fined
with up to €2,500.

dovremo prepararci alle
audizioni dei commissari
designati, che, come saprŕ,

parte dei componenti di questo
parlamento. Ci
aspettiamo che i temi di cui
oggi ha parlato davanti all’Aula
saranno approfonditi e seguiti
anche dai componenti del suo
collegio, durante le audizioni
preso le commissioni
competenti”.
“I prossimi anni saranno molto
importanti per il futuro
dell'Unione e possiamo
affrontarli con successo solo se
ci sarŕ una stretta cooperazione

concluso.
Il Parlamento europeo č composto
attualmente da 747 eurodeputati,
in base alle notifiche ufficiali
ricevute dalle autoritŕ degli
Stati membri, per cui la soglia

audizioni dei commissari
designati si svolgeranno nelle
commissioni parlamentari
competenti, dal 30 settembre

Italia e spese per la difesa,
Visegrád, Ue e clima, caso Darroch,
dinastia Gandhi |
|
  |
|
|
|
Il Gruppo di Visegrád ha rivendicato
il proprio ruolo centrale nella
definizione del pacchetto delle
euro-nomine, tra cui quella a
presidente della Commissione europea
di Ursula von der Leyen, oggi
all'esame del Parlamento europeo. Ma
l'asse dell'Europa centro-orientale
tra Ungheria, Polonia, Slovacchia e
Rep. Ceca puň ancora fare valere una
voce comune nel dibattito sul futuro
dell'Unione?
L'ambiziosa costruzione della difesa
Ue č fra le prioritŕ di azione che
la presidente in pectore della
Commissione ha illustrato questa
mattina nell'Aula di Strasburgo:
l'Italia, perň, arranca ancora sul
fronte delle spese per la difesa (e
rispetto dell'obiettivo Nato), anche
alla luce del Documento
programmatico pluriennale 2019-2021
presentato dalla ministra Elisabetta
Trenta. E l’Ue rimanda l’Italia
all’autunno pure sul Pniec, il Piano
nazionale integrato energia e clima.
Il ‘caso Darroch’ agita le relazioni
tra Stati Uniti e Gran Bretagna. E,
in India, intanto, l'uscita di scena
di Rahul Gandhi dopo la disastrosa
sconfitta alle elezioni potrebbe
segnare la chiusura del ciclo
politico dominato dalla potente
dinastia dei Nerhu-Gandhi. |

Former German defence minister
Ursula von der Leyen (VDL) faces a
crucial vote on Tuesday (16 July),
as she seeks to convince at least
374 lawmakers in the European
Parliament to back her to become the
next European Commission president.
The opposition mainly comes from the
so-called progressive camp: the
socialists (S&D), leftists and
greens. These groups wanted one of
the EU elections spitzenkandidats to
lead the EU executive but are also
unconvinced about VDL’s commitment
on climate policy, migration and
social issues.
Read more:
German socialists (SPD) in the
European Parliament have said they
will vote against von der Leyen. But
over the weekend, two SPD
heavyweights spoke out in favour of
her in Berlin. In
an interview with Bild am Sonntag,
former SPD chief Sigmar Gabriel said
she could become a good Commission
president but he expressed
disapproval at the way she was
nominated.
Similarly, in an interview with Welt
am Sonntag, former interior minister
Otto Schily praised VDL’s ability
and criticised the 16 SPD MEPs who
will vote against VDL on Tuesday.
The centre-right CSU and CDU have
also criticised SPD MEPs for their
stance and have called on them to
show responsibility.
In Rome, the
coalition government is divided over
VDL and the co-ruling parties will
vote differently. While at first the
right-wing Lega seemed to back her,
the VDL has rejected support from
Salvini’s party. In an attempt to
reassure other progressive groups,
VDL cancelled a meeting she was
supposed to hold with Marco Zanni,
president of the far-right Identity
and Democracy (ID), the EU political
group Lega belongs to. On the other
hand, the anti-establishment Five
Star Movement will vote in favour,
after having had a “positive
meeting” with her last Wednesday.
Group leader Tiziana Beghin said
they have the same priorities,
referring to measures such as a
European minimum wage.
In Paris, although
French President Emmanuel Macron
pushed for VDL’s candidacy, she
cannot count on the support of
French MEPs.
The far left and the Greens have
already indicated that they will
vote against VDL. The small
delegation of the 5 French
socialists insists that the next
5-year EU Commission must put more
emphasis on the environment and
social rights. Marine Le Pen’s MEPs
have not shown any clear signals on
how they will vote.
The 8 centre-right MEPs and the
Macronists of Renew Europe are
expected to vote for the German
candidate. EURACTIV France says the
vote will also be a test for the
unity of the 21 so-called Macronist
MEPs: will they respect the
delegation’s voting instructions en
masse?
In Warsaw, Polish
Foreign Affairs Minister Jacek
Czaputowicz told Reuters that VDL
was “conciliatory,
non-confrontational, accepting of
many points of view”.
“She has this sensitivity, something
that in Poland is well-liked,” he
added. However, EURACTIV has learnt
that the ruling PiS party, which
belongs to the EU Conservatives and
Reformists (ECR), will make its
final decision today.
In Athens, EURACTIV
Greece reports that New Democracy
(EPP) MEPs are not “so hot” about
VDL, considering that Prime Minister
Kyriakos Mitsotakis was one of the
biggest supporters of Manfred Weber,
but they will ultimately follow the
EPP line and support her. Leftist
Syriza MEPs will vote against unless
they are really pressured by EU
socialists based on a specific deal.
In Sofia, Bulgaria’s
MEPs are supportive but have doubts.
Bulgaria has one of the most
“mainstream” national delegations in
the Parliament, as 15 out of 17 MEPs
are in centrist groups: Seven from
the EPP, five from S&D, and three
from liberal RE. The remaining two
are from ECR.
However, MEP Radan Kanev said in an
interview with the website EUelectionsBulgaria.com,
that the vote for VDL should not be
taken for granted, and even in the
EPP, there were divisions. Read more.
In Bratislava, MEP
Martin Hojsík, from the centrist
Progressive Slovakia-Renew Europe, said VDL’s
views on the climate and
biodiversity were optimistic. He
also welcomed her plan to reform the
bloc’s agricultural policy towards
more climate and biodiversity
protection. “Slovakia must be on the
forefront of efforts to prevent
climate threat and not fall behind
the regional line dictated by Orban
or Kaczyński,“ he added.
In Prague, Czech PM
Andrej Babiš supports VDL, and spoke
by phone with her on Friday about
the possible composition of her
Commission cabinet. His ANO party
has six MEPs in the centrist
Renew-Europe group, which will back
VDL. On the other hand, the main
Czech opposition party, Pirates, is
not convinced and its three
representatives in the Greens/EFA
will likely not support her. The
rest of the Czech MEPs are divided
as well.
In Vilnius,
politicians have not expressed a
clear view on VDL but Lithuania’s
President Nauseda spoke with her on
the phone on Sunday, and then
tweeted that he supports her. The
Lithuanian MEPs will vote according
to the their political groups’ line.
VDL is known in Lithuania for her
support for increasing the defence
capabilities of the Baltic country.
In Zagreb, the
majority of Croatian MEPs are
sceptical about VDL. Unlike the 4
EPP MEPs who have openly supported
her, S&D, RE, and ECR might need
some convincing. ‘I do not have
anything against her personally,
unlike our German colleagues, but I
resent the way this package has been
delivered to the Parliament’ said
Biljana Borzan (SDP-S&D). ‘The
result of the voting will be
arranged by the dominant groups, who
have 443 hands’, said Ruža Tomašić
(ECR), adding that von der Leyen
will eventually serve as ‘Merkel’s
voice in the Commission’.

But
both
Italy’s
co-ruling
parties,
Five
Star
Movement
and
Lega,
are
willing
to
back
von
der
Leyen’s
bid.
The
Italian
42
votes
may
be
crucial
at
the
end.
Rumours
in
Brussels
suggest
that
right-wing
Lega
held
negotiations
with
von
der
Leyen
in
the
last
few
days,
asking
in
return
the
green
light
for
the
appointment
of
Salvini’s
right
arm
Giancarlo
Giorgetti
as
Italian
Commissioner.
Five
Star
Movement’s
delegation
in
the
European
Parliament
also
had
a
“positive
meeting”
with
the
designated
president
on
10
July.
“We
share
the
same
priorities,”
said
group
leader
Tiziana
Beghin.
According
to
the
socialist
source,
von
der
Leyen
will
need
to
count
on
the
support
of
the
European
Conservatives
and
Reformists
(ECR)
and
far-right
Identity
and
Democracy
(ID),
but
then
“she
has
to
be
aware
her
confirmation
will
be
based
on a
‘right-wing-to-right’
majority”.
Although
the
ECR
said
it
considers
itself
close
to
von
der
Leyen’s
views,
the
group
is
deeply
split
over
whether
it
will
grant
her
support,
a
party
source
told
EURACTIV.
The
Visegrad
Four
–
Czech
Republic,
Slovakia,
Poland
and
Hungary
–
initially
supported
her
candidacy
to
avoid
the
EU’s
rule-of-law
paladin
Frans
Timmermans
in
the
position.
Compared
to
him,
von
der
Leyen
is
seen
by
them
as
“softer”
on
the
issue.
However,
she
said
during
the
hearings
that
she
would
like
to
have
the
Dutchman
continue
to
be
in
charge
of
the
portfolio,
which
could
eventually
swing
them
away
from
her,
some
suggest.
But
while
the
Hungarian
Fidesz
party
is
likely
to
act
as

boys”,
the

might

Mpampis Papadimitriou, a
former journalist and
newly elected MP with
conservative New
Democracy in Greece (EPP),
has provoked criticism
after he hit out at
foreign correspondents
in Athens, and
particularly the French
daily, Libération.
In an
article published
after the Greek
elections last Sunday,
Libération said with new
PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis,
dynasties have returned
to the country’s
government. Commenting
on the article,
Papadimitriou said
Libération was not a
significant newspaper
and lashed out against
foreign correspondents
in Athens.
“The correspondents of
many European newspapers
wrote about a Greece
that does not exist […]
Unfortunately, some
reporters were licking
leftist Syriza’s shoes
in the party’s offices
which were full of
marijuana smoke. And
then they were writing
with their mind blurred
with marijuana.”
Libération replied
saying the attack
and the allegations were
ridiculous and even
accused Papadimitriou of
spreading fake news as
he said that the
newspaper belongs to
Rothschild, which it
left in 2014.
Stelios Kouloglou, a
Syriza MEP, said:
“Sadly, this attack
against foreign
correspondents is not an
isolated incident. With
a decree, Mr. Mitsotakis
placed under his
personal control the
public TV broadcaster as
well as the National
News Agency.”
“Censorship, personal
control of the media and
attacks on journalists
are practices contrary
to the EU democratic
values. Greece is
heading toward an
Orban-style regime,”
Kouloglou told
EURACTIV.com.
Kouloglou also said that
New Democracy government
censored even UK PM
Theresa May regarding
the North Macedonia name
change deal.
May called Mitsotakis to
congratulate him for his
election. Following the
telephone conversation,
the Greek PM’s office
said the two leaders
discussed the
developments in eastern
Mediterranean with
Turkey. However, the
British government
issued a statement
highlighting that May
“welcomed Prime Minister
Mitsotakis’s commitment
to honour its
implementation”.
When in opposition, New
Democracy fiercely
opposed the Prespes
Agreement and even tried
to block it. The
implementation of the
deal now will likely put
the conservative party
in a difficult position
toward its voters.
Meanwhile, storms raged
over Halkidiki (northern
Greece) last night
leaving 6 people dead
and over 20 injured,
Greek media reported.
Tourists and children
were among the victims.

according to a proposal
tabled by the French
Secretary of State for
European Affairs, Amélie
de Montchalin.
“We want to put a
ceiling to agriculture
subsidies. Above
€100,000 per year, we
consider that a farmer
has a sufficient income
for himself, and no
longer needs the CAP
solidarity”, she told
Europe 1.
This ceiling could
redirect the CAP funds
to farmers who are in
transition of their
agricultural practices.
“On the other hand,
farmers must be
supported (…) if they
are asked to change
their farming practices,
to use fewer pesticides
or diversify their
production to be
resilient to climatic
variations”, she added.
As the first recipient
of CAP money, France is
fighting to maintain the
budget of the common
policy as well as its
green orientation. “We
would like 40% of the
CAP budget to be a
transformation budget,

Enrico Letta su nomine
Ue - Grecia, da Tsipras
a Mitsotakis - Spagna,
Sánchez in bilico -
Usa2020 |
|
|
|
|
|
Ursula von der Leyen,
presidente in pectore
della Commissione
europea, ha avviato
contatti bilaterali con
le forze politiche a
Bruxelles per prepararsi
all'esame da parte del
Parlamento europeo, tra
una settimana. Ma che
leader potrebbe essere
per l'Ue la ministra
della Difesa tedesca? Lo
abbiamo chiesto all'ex
premier italiano Enrico
Letta, convinto che la
vera questione sarŕ
capire se la von der
Leyden continuerŕ, nella
scia di Jean-Claude
Juncker, a essere
autonoma rispetto agli
Stati membri o se
tornerŕ, sui passi di
Manuel Barroso, ad
avvicinarsi alle
capitali.
Mentre il premier
spagnolo Pedro Sánchez,
il vero vincitore delle
europee in campo
socialista, č in bilico
in vista del voto di
fiducia del 23 luglio,
Alexis Tsipras passa la
mano ad Atene: dopo
quattro anni e mezzo di
governo di Syriza e di
difficili negoziati con
l'Ue, torna al governo
il centrodestra di Nea
Demokratia, vittorioso
con il 40% alle elezioni
legislative di domenica
scorsa. E negli Stati
Uniti la folta platea di
aspiranti alla
nomination democratica
per le presidenziali
2020 si prepara al
secondo round dei
dibattiti televisivi. |

Carola Rackete č
libera. La Corte Italiana ha stabilito che salvare
vite non č un crimine. Ma la criminalizzazione delle
persone che salvano i migranti dal rischio di
annegamento nel Mediterraneo continua. Pia Klemp,
una biologa tedesca e capitana di una nave, deve
ancora scontare 20 anni di carcere per aver salvato
piů di 1.000 migranti. La criminalizzazione della
solidarietŕ dei cittadini che agiscono in difesa dei
diritti umani deve cessare. Abbiamo firmato la
petizione lanciata da WeMove indirizzata al
Parlamento europeo, alla Commissione europea e ai
governi europei chiedendo la caduta delle accuse.
Leggi, firma e condividi la petizione.
Transeuropa
Caravans: Dove siamo stati finora? Quattro delle
cinque carovane sono tornate a casa dopo settimane
di intenso viaggio on the road. Ma il viaggio non č
ancora finito: l’ultima carovana inizierŕ il suo
viaggio dopo l’estate, attraversando la Slovenia, la
Croazia e raggiungendo infine l’Italia, arrivando
fino in Sicilia, dove inaugureremo la nuova edizione
del Transeuropa Festival (dal 6 al 10 novembre). La
carovana Mediterranea affronterŕ il tema delle
migrazioni, una delle questioni piů complesse che
riguardano l'UE nel suo insieme. Continuate a
seguirci perché le loro fermate e le loro azioni
lungo il tragitto saranno presto confermate.
Qualche settimana
fa abbiamo finalmente incontrato il gruppo di
attivist* che faranno parte della prima generazione
della Scuola di Politica Transnazionale. Ci siamo
incontrat* a Varsavia, nel contesto della Biennale
di Varsavia, e abbiamo discusso le sfide, gli
interessi e gli obiettivi comuni che vogliamo
raggiungere quest'anno. Femminismo, giustizia
climatica e intersezionalitŕ nella prassi sono state
definite come le lotte piů urgenti da affrontare a
livello globale. La prossima data confermata sarŕ
Atene; potete aiutarci a rendere il progetto
sostenibile nel lungo periodo donando alla Scuola:
fate parte del cambiamento che vogliamo vedere in
Europa!
Con il progetto Reporters
in the field: il movimento antivaccinista,
tre giornalisti hanno condotto un'approfondita
ricerca transfrontaliera in Italia, Polonia e
Repubblica Ceca sulla sfiducia generale nei
confronti dei vaccini come strumenti efficaci per
combattere i problemi sanitari globali. La ricerca
mostra come i "populisti digitali" italiani abbiano
utilizzato l'agenda anti-vax per ottenere consensi e
arrivare al potere; spiega l’ascesa e la caduta del
movimento antivaccinista in Polonia, e analizza i
profili di coloro che sono antivaccinisti in
Repubblica Ceca. Il reportage fa parte del programma
Reporters in the Field, finanziato dalla Fondazione
Robert Bosch e realizzato insieme all’agenzia n-ost.
Sabato il nostro
network manager Martin Pairet parteciperŕ al
Festival dei diritti umani a Colonia per parlare
brevemente dei risultati e delle conseguenze delle
elezioni del Parlamento europeo. Da oltre 30 anni il
Festival lotta contro il razzismo e lavora per
migliorare la convivenza di tutte le culture.
L'obiettivo del Festival č quello di creare uno
spazio aperto dove le persone con e senza un
background migratorio possano scambiare idee e
partecipare a diversi tipi di workshop. Date
un'occhiata al loro programma e seguite il hashtag
#MRF19.

This

The
judgment
from

The

subsequently
reduced

demand.

ATHENS
The

takes
office. Kyriakos
Mitsotakis,
the
clear
winner

last
Sunday’s
election,
announced
a
new
government

It

unusual
in
Greek
politics:
over
20.
The

at

seven
members

socialist-democrat
origin,
in a
clear
effort
of
the
New
Democracy
(EPP)
party
to
show
an

But
it
provoked
the
reaction
of

which
suspended
two
of
its
members
for
joining
the
conservative

KINAL,
which
gained

Erdoğan arrives
with
conflict
on
airport:
Turkish
President
Recep
Tayyip
Erdoğan
arrived
in
Sarajevo
on
Monday
for
a
two-day
official
visit
and
immediately
after
arrival
a
conflict
with
Bosnian
border
police
erupted.
“They
were
aggressive,
acting
as
though
they
were
in
their
own
country.
They
don’t
respect
our
laws
at
all.
There
was
pushing
and
shoving
and
refused
to
comply
with
procedure
and
regular
control.
They
all
deserved
to
be
apprehended,”
said
Bosnian
Border
Police
Chief
Zoran
Galić.
