EU announces vaccine passport plan to enable summer travel
17 Mar 2021  |  www.seattletimes.com  |  English  |  Travel
The European Union has initiated efforts to create a joint vaccination passport, aiming to facilitate travel and potentially revive the summer tourism season. The 'digital green certificates' would provide proof of vaccination, recovery from COVID-19, or a negative test result. While some EU countries are eager to welcome travelers, others, like France and Germany, are more cautious. The plan faces challenges due to varying vaccination rates, the approval of non-EU vaccines, and concerns over discrimination and the impact on societal equality.

Natural gas standoff between Russia and Ukraine leaves Europe on edge
07 Mar 2018  |  www.cbc.ca  |  English  |  European Energy Supply
The recent natural gas standoff between Russia and Ukraine has heightened concerns across Europe about energy security. The conflict, which saw Gazprom cancel its gas supply contract with Ukraine, has significant implications for European energy supply, especially with the controversial Nord Stream 2 pipeline project. The European Union faces a dilemma over increasing reliance on Russian gas, while some member states push for diversification to liquefied natural gas (LNG) from other suppliers. The situation underscores the geopolitical tensions and the strategic use of energy resources in international relations.

Stream of migrants slows to a trickle in Bavaria, but Angela Merkel could still go under
01 Oct 2023  |  www.thetimes.com  |  English  |  European Politics
Angela Merkel faces a critical political challenge due to festering resentment over the migrant crisis. Despite a decrease in migrant numbers, Bavarian political leaders, including Horst Seehofer and Markus Söder, are in open revolt, threatening border closures and demanding changes to EU rules. This internal conflict risks collapsing Merkel's government and disrupting the EU's Schengen zone. The far-right AfD's growing influence in Bavaria further complicates the situation, with CSU leaders pivoting hard to the right to counter this threat. Merkel's ability to navigate these challenges remains uncertain as she seeks support at upcoming EU summits.

Guess who's coming to my wedding?

Austria's Foreign Minister Karin Kneissl's wedding has sparked controversy due to the attendance of Russian President Vladimir Putin, highlighting Austria's political ties with Russia. The invitation, seen as a defiance of international protocol, has raised concerns about Austria's neutrality and its standing within the European Union. The Freedom Party's close relationship with Russia and Austria's conciliatory stance towards Moscow have led to criticism and calls for Kneissl's resignation. The situation underscores Austria's complex position in EU-Russia relations, with potential damage to its reputation and credibility.

Europe's New Migration Deal, Explained

EU leaders reached a tentative agreement on irregular migration, focusing on establishing processing centers both within and outside the EU. The deal, influenced by populist and far-right pressures, faces significant opposition from countries like Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and potential EU candidates in the Balkans.

Van der Bellen's re-election confirms the electoral self-destruction of pro-sovereignists
10 Oct 2022  |  Linkiesta.it  |  Italian  |  European Union
Alexander Van der Bellen's re-election as Austria's president with over 50% of the vote underscores the decline of pro-sovereignist and ultranationalist movements, particularly the FPÖ, which has been marred by scandals. Van der Bellen's campaign was minimal, relying on his established authority and stability during crises. The main political parties, including the SPÖ and ÖVP, supported him, ensuring no surprises in the election outcome. The Bierpartei, led by Dominik Wlazny, made a notable impact with its appeal to young voters. The article also touches on the political fallout from the Ibiza scandal and the shifting dynamics within Austria's political landscape.

'Sideletters': Austria's latest political scandal explained
03 Feb 2022  |  www.thelocal.at  |  English  |  Government Transparency
Austria is embroiled in a political scandal involving secret agreements, known as 'Sideletters,' between the ruling conservative People's Party (ÖVP) and their coalition partners, the far-right Freedom Party (FPÖ) and the Green Party. The agreements, which were not intended for public disclosure, detail future appointees to senior roles and policies such as a ban on headscarves for teachers. The ÖVP-FPÖ agreement was revealed during an FPÖ politician's testimony, while the ÖVP-Green deal was leaked. These revelations have caused outrage due to the cronyism they represent and the contrast with the parties' public personas. The scandal poses a challenge for new Chancellor Karl Nehammer, who has pledged no more secret deals and greater transparency in political appointments. The Green Party, known for advocating transparency, faces internal criticism and public trust issues, exacerbated by the previous 'Ibizagate' scandal.

30 years after the war, Slovenia protests against the pro-Orban government
25 Jun 2021  |  Frontiere News  |  Italian  |  Politics
On the 30th anniversary of Slovenia's independence, anti-government protests filled Prešeren Square in Ljubljana, driven by resentment towards Prime Minister Janez Janša's administration, which is seen as corrupt and undemocratic. Protesters, led by Jaša Jenull and Tea Jarc, demand Janša's resignation and early elections, accusing the government of betraying the people's will by forming a coalition with right-wing parties. The protests, which have been ongoing weekly since March 2020, contrast sharply with the official independence celebrations attended by right-wing leaders from neighboring countries.

Austria subtitles error: Mix-up sees soap opera captions appear as new government sworn in
09 Jan 2020  |  www.euronews.com  |  English  |  Media Error
Austria's state television experienced a mix-up during the swearing-in of the new government, where subtitles from a romantic soap opera appeared instead of the actual speech. The error occurred as Sebastian Kurz's coalition with the Greens was inaugurated, marking a significant political shift. The public broadcaster ORF apologized for the mistake. The new government, led by Kurz, is Austria's first with a female majority and includes the Greens for the first time. This coalition could serve as a model for other countries, including Germany. Kurz, who has a history of taking a tough stance on migration, reclaimed his position as the world's youngest serving head of government.

Austria pushes green enterprise credentials
17 Dec 2021  |  www.ft.com  |  English  |  Climate Policy
Austria is advancing its green enterprise credentials, aiming for carbon neutrality by 2040. Despite political instability and the pandemic, the country has made progress, with over two-thirds of start-ups focusing on ecological goals. The green tech sector generated significant sales and employment in 2019. Austria's recovery plan allocates 59% of funds to climate objectives, including a carbon tax and affordable public transport to reduce emissions. The Green Tech Cluster in Styria exemplifies the focus on sustainability. Political shifts may further enable green policy advancements, with ambitions like 100% renewable electricity by 2030.

Western Balkans Summit in Sofia: Western Balkan countries not yet ready for imminent EU accession
17 May 2018  |  www.rtl.lu  |  Luxembourgish  |  International Relations
The EU-Western Balkans Summit in Sofia, organized by Bulgaria during its EU Council presidency, signaled the EU's openness to Western Balkan countries' future membership, contingent on meeting conditions and implementing reforms. However, the prospect of accession by 2025 was removed from the final declaration, with most EU member states considering it too soon and potentially overwhelming for the EU. Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz emphasized the need to counter Turkish influence in the region. Luxembourg's Prime Minister Xavier Bettel expressed skepticism about expansion before the EU itself functions properly, while Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn warned against lumping all countries together. The summit also aimed to foster cooperation and trade among Balkan states and saw progress in the name dispute between Macedonia and Greece. EU leaders also addressed concerns over US President Donald Trump's policies, including the Iran deal and tariffs, with a unified stance to protect trade relations without conceding to US demands.

Where do the elections leave Europe’s nationalists?
27 May 2019  |  www.aljazeera.com  |  English  |  European Union
The European Parliament election results reveal a fragmented European Union with mainstream parties losing voter confidence. Nationalist parties achieved significant results in Italy, France, Belgium, Hungary, and Poland. Italy's League and France's National Rally topped the polls, while the ruling PiS party in Poland and Viktor Orban's Fidesz in Hungary also performed strongly. The EPP and S&D lost seats, with a new centrist group and the Greens gaining ground. Matteo Salvini and Marine Le Pen aim to form a new group in the European Parliament, though their overall results were mixed. The elections highlight the ongoing political turmoil and the potential for more restrictive migration policies and budget cuts in the EU.

Review: Projekt Ballhausplatz
21 Sept 2023  |  Cineuropa - the best of european cinema  |  English  |  Austrian Politics
Kurt Langbein’s documentary 'Projekt Ballhausplatz' explores the rise and fall of former Austrian chancellor Sebastian Kurz, focusing on his controversial political maneuvers and the impact of his right-wing policies. The film uses a mix of archival footage and interviews to recount Kurz's career from 2010 to his resignation in 2021, highlighting his manipulative tactics and disregard for democratic structures. While the documentary serves as a reminder of past political scandals for Austrians, it offers little new information and functions more as a moral appeal against populist ideas.

'This is my world': Austria's former Foreign Minister spends her holidays in Russia
10 Aug 2023  |  euronews  |  Spanish  |  International Relations
Former Austrian Foreign Minister Karin Kneissl is spending her holidays in Russia, expressing her comfort in the rural setting of Petrushovo. She has been involved with Russian media, including RT, and was appointed to Rosneft's board, which she left following the invasion of Ukraine. Kneissl is compared to Gerhard Schröder, who has worked with Russian companies post-chancellorship. Austria has distanced itself from Kneissl, while Schröder remains a Social Democratic Party member. Schröder lost privileges as a former German politician due to his Russian ties but is suing for their restoration. Kneissl is set to lead the GORKI center in St. Petersburg.

Is Orban holding out an olive branch to EPP?
07 Jul 2022  |  EUobserver  |  English  |  EU Sanctions
Viktor Orban and his party Fidesz are facing unprecedented isolation in Europe following their departure from the European People's Party (EPP) over human rights concerns. Efforts to mend ties with the EPP have failed, and Orban's attempts to form a far-right bloc in the European Parliament have not succeeded. Hungary's relationship with Poland's ruling PiS party has also been strained due to differing stances on Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Hungary's first female president, Katalin Novak, visited Warsaw to repair relations. The European Court of Justice's ruling tying EU funds to democratic standards has blocked EU budget money for Hungary, complicating Orban's position. His resistance to EU sanctions against Patriarch Kirill of the Russian Orthodox Church has also caused friction with EU leaders. Orban's foreign policy is challenged by the ongoing war in Ukraine, and there seems to be no easy path to restoring his previous status in European politics.

Austria's active role as chairing country from EU to OSCE
18 Feb 2019  |  Die Presse  |  German  |  European Union
Austria has played an active role in international institutions, chairing the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) in 2017 and the Council of the European Union in the second half of 2018. The OSCE focuses on peace through cooperation, while the EU promotes economic and political integration among member states. Austria's foreign policy has been influenced by domestic considerations, with a focus on protecting its population from threats such as radicalization and illegal migration. Despite budget cuts to contributions for international organizations, Austria's engagement has made it a reliable partner and an 'honest broker' in conflicts, such as the one between Transnistria and Moldova. Vienna, with its long tradition as a dialogue hub, hosts over 40 international organizations, contributing significantly to Austria's economy.

A September of Successes for Central European Far Right
01 Sept 2023  |  www.lavenc.cat  |  Catalan  |  Immigration
In September, the far-right parties in Central Europe, particularly in Germany and Austria, achieved significant electoral successes. In Germany, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) won its first regional election in Thuringia, marking a historic victory for the far-right since World War II. The AfD capitalized on anti-immigration sentiments and economic dissatisfaction, gaining substantial support in former East German states. Meanwhile, in Austria, the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) secured a victory in the national elections, surpassing traditional parties. Both parties have leveraged public discontent with immigration and economic issues, proposing controversial policies like forced deportations. The rise of these parties highlights the challenges faced by traditional political forces in addressing voter concerns and the potential implications for future governance in the region.

Experts emphasize the need to balance security with civil liberties and warn against scapegoating refugees. Far-right terrorism is also highlighted as a growing concern.

Strache heads to Brussels and how the Ibiza video toppled the government
27 May 2019  |  de.euronews.com  |  German  |  Political Scandal
In the summer of 2017, FPÖ leader and later Vice-Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache met with a woman posing as a Russian oligarch's niece in Ibiza, discussing potential cooperation and possibly illegal party donations. The woman was actually a Bosnian student, and the meeting was secretly filmed. The footage was released in May, leading to Strache's resignation. The scandal erupted just before the European elections, prompting Chancellor Sebastian Kurz to end the coalition with FPÖ and call for new elections. Despite the scandal's magnitude, FPÖ lost only about 3% compared to the last European election, securing 17% of the vote. Strache will now serve as an MEP for FPÖ in the European Parliament.

Austria has seen a significant shift in its immigration policy, moving from initial welcoming of refugees to a more hardline stance influenced by right-wing politics. Refugees like Yasin and Shahab face anxiety and uncertainty as their asylum applications are rejected, with fears of deportation back to dangerous conditions in Afghanistan. The Austrian government, led by Chancellor Sebastian Kurz, has praised Australia's strict immigration policies, while local advocates argue for more humane treatment.

Gabriel Attal, at 34, has been appointed as France's youngest prime minister by President Emmanuel Macron, succeeding Élisabeth Borne. The reshuffle aims to reinvigorate Macron's second term ahead of the European elections. Attal, a popular figure and the first openly gay French prime minister, is known for his strong communication skills and centrist politics. The move has received mixed reactions, with Macron's allies welcoming it and critics questioning its effectiveness. The reshuffle is seen as a strategic effort to bolster Macron's party against the far-right National Rally in the upcoming elections.
