NAB Laws: Has Accountability Ever Been An End Goal In Pakistan?
24 Jun 2022  |  The Friday Times  |  English  |  Corruption
Brigadier (retd) Musaddiq Abbasi revealed plans to conclude corruption cases against politicians by December 2022, potentially affecting the next general elections in Pakistan. The PML-N-led government amended NAB laws to prevent disqualification, which the author criticizes as a move to weaken accountability. The article discusses historical instances of political purges and accountability being used to suppress opposition, drawing parallels with current events. The author, Hamraz Sarwani, an independent analyst and teacher at Bahria University, argues that true accountability has not been the end goal in Pakistan's political landscape, but rather a means to consolidate power.

PTI Likely to Become the Largest Party in the Senate
29 Mar 2024  |  www.urduvoa.com  |  Urdu  |  Politics
After 18 candidates were elected unopposed, polling for 30 seats in the Senate of Pakistan will take place on April 2. The ruling coalition seeks a two-thirds majority, while the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) is hopeful to emerge as the largest party. The Election Commission scheduled the elections for April 2, following the retirement of 48 senators. PTI currently has 18 members in the Senate, and if they secure at least seven more seats from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, their total could reach 27. The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) could potentially have the second-highest number of senators, reaching up to 25. The ruling coalition already has a two-thirds majority in the National Assembly but needs the same in the Senate for constitutional amendments and major decisions.

The Andalusian Government sees a budget agreement with Vox as 'more viable' than with the PSOE
01 Sept 2021  |  elDiario.es  |  Spanish  |  Budget Negotiations
The Andalusian Government, led by the PP and Ciudadanos coalition, is considering a budget agreement with the right-wing party Vox for the 2022 budget, which is seen as more viable than an agreement with the PSOE. Vox's parliamentary spokesperson in Andalusia, Manuel Gavira, insists on the government fulfilling its promises as a condition for support. The PSOE is open to dialogue but demands that the budget reflects its strategic lines and is not conditioned by Vox's requirements. The government may extend the current budget if negotiations stall, with the support of Ciudadanos' vice president, Juan Marín. The article also touches on the reduction of teaching staff and the opposition's criticism of the government's handling of public education and health.

Ruckus mars maiden KP session as MPAs sworn in
29 Feb 2024  |  www.dawn.com  |  English  |  Elections
116 newly elected members of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly took the oath amid protests and disruptions by PTI supporters and lawmakers. The session, summoned by KP Governor Ghulam Ali, saw significant disorder, with slogans supporting Imran Khan and disruptions in the assembly hall. Despite the chaos, Speaker Mushtaq Ahmad Ghani managed to administer the oath. In Balochistan, 57 out of 65 newly elected members took the oath in a session presided over by senior MPA Zamrak Khan Piralizai. The session was marked by tight security due to protests against alleged vote rigging. The election for the speaker and deputy speaker in both assemblies is scheduled for today.

Spain MPs back amnesty law for Catalan separatists
05 Oct 2023  |  BBC  |  English  |  Spanish Politics
Spain's Congress has approved a controversial amnesty law aimed at benefiting nationalists facing legal action for separatist activities in Catalonia, particularly from the 2017 secession bid. The law, which now requires Senate approval, seeks to remove pending legal actions against separatists, including former Catalan president Carles Puigdemont. The Socialist Party supports the law as a step towards reconciliation, while critics argue it is unconstitutional and politically motivated. The law's passage could significantly impact Catalan politics, especially with upcoming regional elections.

Negotiations with Islamabad: Pakistan's Taliban and Peace
24 Nov 2021  |  taz.de  |  German  |  Terrorism
Pakistan's government is negotiating a peace agreement with the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) amid ongoing violence. The TTP demands include amnesty for members and the restoration of tribal autonomy. The Taliban, led by Sirajuddin Haqqani, are mediating the talks. Critics, including Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and victims' families, express concerns over the negotiations' sincerity and potential outcomes. The TTP sees potential benefits regardless of the talks' success, while human rights activists and political figures call for genuine peace efforts.

Pakistan elections are next month - will young people show up?
18 Jan 2024  |  Muslims in Italy struggle to bury victims of the pandemic  |  English  |  Political Disillusionment
Pakistan's upcoming elections feature familiar faces, causing despair among the youth. Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, facing corruption charges, can now run due to a Supreme Court ruling. His party, PML-N, is a frontrunner, competing against Imran Khan's PTI, which claims unfair treatment, and Bilawal Bhutto's PPP. Key issues like terrorism, economic crisis, and pollution are sidelined by election politics. With 64% of the population under 30, many young Pakistanis are hopeless about the political system and seek opportunities abroad. A 2021 Gallup Pakistan survey showed low youth voter turnout, with many wanting to emigrate. The IMF reports high inflation and negative GDP growth, while terror attacks have increased after TTP ended its ceasefire. Political parties are criticized for ignoring youth and failing to address the brain drain. The article suggests increasing youth voter turnout by making registration more accessible, engaging female voters, and involving youth in politics from school level.

N 11pc down, PTI 3pc up in NA
01 Oct 2023  |  Data Stories  |  English  |  Political Analysis
A comparative analysis of the NA-120 bye-elections reveals an 11 percent decrease in votes for PML-N and a 3 percent increase for PTI compared to the 2013 general elections. The analysis highlights a significant increase in the vote bank of religious parties and a low female voter turnout. PML-N's Begum Kalsoom Nawaz won with 48.6 percent of the votes, while PTI's Dr. Yasmin Rashid secured 37.1 percent. The voter turnout was notably low, with only 39.4 percent of the total voters participating. The Election Commission of Pakistan's statistics show a higher male voter turnout compared to female voters. The Pakistan Peoples Party maintained its vote share, while religious parties saw a surge in support, particularly candidates from Tehreek-e-Labaik Pakistan and Jamatud Dawa.

Spain formed a new government on November 9, coinciding with the shooting of Vox party co-founder Alejo Vidal-Quadras in Madrid. The caretaker prime minister Pedro Sánchez, from the Socialist and Workers Party, faced controversy for including an amnesty for Catalan separatists in his coalition government pact. Protests ensued, with peaceful demonstrations escalating to violence at night. The opposition People's Party is organizing a protest against the amnesty, while Vidal-Quadras survived the attack and blamed the Iranian government.

Fall of religio-political parties in Feb 8 vote
25 Mar 2024  |  tribune.com.pk  |  English  |  Islamist Movements
Religio-political parties in Pakistan suffered a significant defeat in the February 8 elections, with major Islamist parties like JUI-F, JI, TLP, and MWM collectively securing only about 12% of the votes. The TLP emerged as the fourth-largest party, but JI and JUI-F faced setbacks in Karachi and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, respectively. The PTI, led by Imran Khan, effectively positioned itself as an outsider and resonated with voters through a broader national agenda and populist rhetoric. The rise of PTI reflects a generational shift, with Pakistan's youth prioritizing tangible issues over traditional religious affiliations. The rejection of Islamist parties may risk fostering resentment among their supporters, potentially benefiting extremist groups like the TTP. The association of some religious groups with militant organizations has also damaged the public image of Islamist parties.

Pakistan celebrated Republic Day with a military display and civil awards, amidst questions about the political future. The minority government in Islamabad, led by Shehbaz Sharif, is supported by the establishment, allowing it to focus on challenges without concern for longevity. The PPP, led by Bilawal Bhutto, is positioned as a future alternative to the PTI. The government's main challenge is economic viability, with issues like balance of payments, debt, and low investment in human potential. The government must accelerate economic revitalization efforts, tackle terrorism, promote tolerance, and address social media-induced instability. Effective legislation and a professional media model like the BBC are needed to combat disinformation and restore public trust in media.

EU negotiators adopt landmark law to restore nature in Europe
09 Nov 2023  |  www.euractiv.fr  |  French  |  Biodiversity
European negotiators agreed on a new landmark regulation to restore at least 20% of Europe's land and marine areas by 2030 and all ecosystems requiring restoration by 2050. This is the first European regulation aimed at reversing the decline of many habitats in Europe. The regulation is a key pillar of the EU's 2030 biodiversity strategy and will help meet the international goal of restoring 30% of lands and seas by 2030. Specific ecosystem measures are outlined, including for forests, agricultural lands, urban ecosystems, freshwater and marine ecosystems, and pollinator diversity. The agreement includes several exemptions and is based on efforts rather than results, meaning EU countries won't have to compensate if targets are not met. The most controversial measures concerned agricultural ecosystems, which faced strong opposition from the European People's Party (PPE) but were ultimately modified. The WWF welcomed certain aspects but pointed out significant concessions, such as the emergency brake. ClientEarth criticized the agreement for its many exceptions and lack of legal guarantees, fearing it could set a worrying precedent for European legislation. The agreement still needs to be officially signed by the European Parliament and the 27 EU countries.

Rosa Dávila Makes History at the Cabildo de Tenerife as First Female President

Rosa Dávila has become the first female president of the Cabildo de Tenerife, marking a historic moment after 110 years. Her election followed the resignation of Socialist Pedro Martín and the decision by PSOE, PP, and Vox not to present alternative candidates. The voting concluded with 18 votes in favor from CC and PP and 13 abstentions from PSOE and Vox. Dávila's inaugural speech highlighted her commitment to Tenerife, gender equality, and her gratitude towards previous presidents and Pedro Martín. The PP, led by Lope Afonso, celebrated more discreetly, emphasizing a government based on trust and loyalty. Pedro Martín expressed a conciliatory tone, promising to be a strong and demanding opposition.

RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION / HATE-CRIME
28 Aug 2023  |  FreedomTalk.net  |  English  |  Minority Rights
The article reports on a series of violent attacks against the Christian community in Jaranwala, Punjab province, Pakistan. Over a hundred radicals destroyed twenty-one Christian churches and a hundred houses, following allegations of blasphemy against two Christian brothers. The police were accused of delayed action, allowing the violence to continue for hours. The Tehreek-e-Labbaik (TLP) party is said to have incited the mob, which led to the arrest of 140 suspects under various sections of the Pakistan Penal Code and the Anti-Terrorism Act. The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) suggested that the attacks were part of an organized campaign of hatred. The article also discusses the broader context of religious fundamentalism in Pakistan, the government's concessions to TLP, and recent legislative changes that increase punishments for blasphemy, raising concerns among minorities.

Diplomacy for Dummies: Manfred Weber's Real Cynicism
30 Aug 2023  |  La Libre.be  |  French  |  Migration
Manfred Weber, leader of the European People's Party (PPE), downplays concerns about Tunisian President Kaïs Saïed's authoritarianism and racism, focusing instead on demanding results from Tunisia in reducing migration to Europe. Weber emphasizes the importance of the rule of law but is more concerned with the use of European taxpayer money to prevent migration. His stance is seen as a strategic move to address migration issues ahead of the 2024 European elections, differentiating the PPE's result-oriented approach from the extreme right's use of migration to instill fear.

Protests in several Spanish cities against the amnesty law
12 Nov 2023  |  hu.euronews.com  |  Hungarian  |  Spanish Politics
Protests erupted in several Spanish cities, including Barcelona, Seville, Valencia, and Madrid, against a proposed amnesty law that would benefit Catalan separatist leaders. The demonstrations in Madrid, called by the conservative People's Party (PP), were largely peaceful, though some violent radical groups were present. The Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) is expected to submit the amnesty law proposal to parliament next week, which has secured Catalan independence parties' support for Pedro Sánchez's election as Prime Minister. The opposition criticizes Sánchez for allegedly 'buying' his re-election with the impunity of his partners.

In Karachi, the Grand Democratic Alliance, Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan, and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazl have formed an electoral alliance against the Pakistan Peoples Party in Sindh. They expressed distrust towards the caretaker Chief Minister Sindh, Maqbool Baqir, and demanded the removal of the provincial election commissioner and a transfer of bureaucracy. The alliance accused the interim government of partiality and warned of public protests if the Election Commission does not address their concerns. They also supported a peace march in October and invited other parties, including PML-N, to join their platform.
