    Coming week will be show again one significant step in international politics and especially in Western Balkans. 1st at its plenary session called for 8th October, the 192-member UN General Assembly is to debate Serbia’s draft resolution calling for an advisory opinion by the International Court of Justice on Kosovo’s unilaterally declared independence. 2nd EU tries again find some common position about Kosovo case and the forecast is that EU member-states will probably abstain from the vote at the UN. 3rd Portugal, Macedonia (FYR) and Montenegro are under huge pressure to recognize Kosovo independence.

    UDI and ICJ in UN

    Serbia has filed a draft resolution in which it asks from the UN General Assembly to seek an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague on the legality of the unilateral declaration of independence (UDI) of Kosovo. Belgrade has proclaimed two objectives with this initiative. The first, immediate goal is to have the ICJ provide its stand on the UDI and to stop the recognition of Pristina’s act by UN members. The second, mid-term objective is to have Belgrade and Pristina go back to the negotiating table on the status question.

    Last week a trial vote revealed 120 of the 192 members gave their backing to Serbia's request to refer the matter to the ICJ, reported the German daily Handelsblat.... » Lire la suite ...

    Earlier this week Serbian President Boris Tadic stated, that he would not rule out partitioning Kosovo if all other options on Kosovo’s final status have been exhausted. "Intellectuals in Serbia and the international public are debating the issue of a partition and this is one of the options that have been emphasized all these years in searching for a solution to Kosovo's future status. I can only think about this when all other possibilities have been exhausted” Tadić told a news conference. (B92, 1/10/2008)

    Partition

    Although Tadic did not specify where the line of partition would run, it is most likely to include the municipalities of Zvecan, Leposavic and Zubin Potok as well as the northern half of the flashpoint town of Mitrovica. This area in northern Kosovo is overwhelming ethnic Serb and Pristina’s influence holds little weight here.

    However just half of the 100,000 Serbs living in Kosovo actually live in northern areas while the rest are in isolated enclaves that dot the former province. One should also remember that about 100,000 - 206,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) from Kosovo is living in Serbia.

     Le City Group PSE de Loire-Atlantique, très actif comme toujours, a participé à la fête de la rose de Préfailles. Karine Daniel, Secrétaire fédérale Europe International, et Cyril Hunault, Délégué Fédéral Europe, ont écrit un post pour partager cet expérience avec Yourspace et ses utilisateurs.

    Pour la première fois, les membres actifs du City Group PSE de Loire-Atlantique se sont organisés pour tenir un stand à la fête de la rose de Préfailles. Ce stand, approvisionné de documents du PSE (Parti Socialiste Européen), a été le lieu de rencontres entre militants intéressés pour vivre leur militantisme socialiste au niveau Européen, et ce, à la veille d’élections qui devront voir la gauche progresser en Europe.

    La tenue de ce stand a permis de renforcer notre City Group,  puisque plus de 60 militants ont manifesté leur intérêt pour faire partie de ce groupe, qui sera le relais du PSE en Loire-Atlantique. Une réunion aura lieu le 30 octobre à 20h00 (au café Villa Flora, cours des 50 otages - Nantes), elle nous permettra de mieux connaître le PSE, son fonctionnement, ses actions et de parler des initiatives prioritaires à prendre... » Lire la suite ...

    First of all, I introduce myself: my name is Gianfranco, I am 20 and I study Classic Literature in Palermo, Sicily. I have been a member of the Partito Socialista Italiano (PSI) since last year, and I am also coordinator in my city, Bagheria, and member of the Federazione dei Giovani Socialisti.

    The Italian Socialist Party, led by Riccardo Nencini, just organised a three days event “Socialistinfesta@Mondoperaio” in Vieste, in the South of Italy.

    The PSI: its name is self-explanations, but it is good to underline that it is the only Italian political force which openly declare itself to be inspired by European Socialism’s progressive reformist values.

    The title of the event “FUTURE PRESENT! The conflict of ideas” well summarises its theme. A moment for meeting all the forces and reformist spirits, not just the socialist ones, a step for starting building a new political platform able to guarantee to our Country a stable reformist government.

    Nous sommes socialistes et donc internationalistes. La paix et le développement doivent être dans les priorités de l'Union. Pour cela il nous faut une politique étrangère européenne et des débats démocratiques sur nos orientations internationales et notre politique de coopération.

    L'Europe doit plaider pour le renforcement des instances globales : pour démocratiser les institutions internationales, à coté de l'assemblée générale des Etats, il nous faut proposer une Assemblée des peuples, ou une assemblée parlementaire, réunissant tous les pays. Nous pourrions aussi proposer de réunir une assemblée parlementaire des pays démocratiques et libres (avec élections libres et respect des droits de l'Homme).

    One of the most contentious issues now under debate is how to respond to the global financial crisis.

    US Treasury announced a $700 billion rescue plan to remove some of the “bad” assets owned by banks which caused the collapse of the financial system, with the aim to sell off these mortgage-related debts in the future.

    Under the US Treasury plan, also European banks with "significant operations in the US" will be eligible to sell or auction their bad debts to Treasury fund.

    On the other hand, the European Central Bank (ECB) announced on Wednesday 24 September an additional injection of $40 billion of cash, in order to appease the markets and maintain the flow of cash between banks reluctant to lend each other funds.

    Though the ECB welcomed the US rescue plan to enhance the stability of financial market, it ruled out the possibility of large-scale bail out operations such as the one of Fannie and Freddie, the mortgage investments enterprises, or the more recent one of Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. The reason for rejecting such measures lies in the fact that the financial situation in Europe is not as much in trouble as in US and that the European central banks are considered responsible only for... » Lire la suite ...

    Socialists should listen more to genuine public concerns about the impact on public services of migration, UK Immigration Minister Liam Byrne told a fringe meeting at Labour Party conference in Manchester.

     

    He argued that immigration was a fact of globalisation, and that Britain is richer as a result of migration – but that impacts on schools, hospitals and housing were real and that local and national Government must do more to anticipate and deal with these impacts.

     

    Byrne outlined what the Labour Government was doing create a fair and progressive migration policy including independent assessment of the skills needed in the country, a points system for legal migration, a clampdown on illegal immigration (including illegal work and illegal employers), and better planning to anticipate impacts on services. He also said that more needed to be done about integration – especially language acquisition – and that employers would be expected to contribute to language training of migrant staff.

    PES Activists Dublin held its first activists' seminar at the offices of the European Commission in Dublin on Monday 15th September. Thirty activists from the Irish Labour Party, Parti Socialiste and Democratici di Sinistra met to hear Senator Richard Yung (PS - France) speak about European Citizenship and social rights.  

    Senator Yung raised the question of how far we are from building a post-nationalist political discourse across Europe. In other words a truly pan-European political debate. He situated his observations in the context of an EU paradox, i.e. that the majority of Europeans think positively about the European Union as an idea, but are much less prone to think of themselves as European citizens or to identify with the institutions of the EU.

    When we engage with European matters we tend to do so through the filter of our own national identity. When we discuss European initiatives they are largely considered from the perspective of our own national discourse. While we have some sense of solidarity and common identity with people from the Atlantic to the Black Sea (and maybe even to the Urals), that sense is vaguely formed and poorly articulated.

    Not only did this seminar generate a lot of discussion around... » Lire la suite ...

    After the UK Labour Party and the Danish Social Democrats, the Northern Irish Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) is the third PES member party to announce its candidate for the next European Elections.

    For the first time, Alban Maginness, 58 years old, member of the Northern Ireland Assembly since 1998, is going to run for the European Parliament next June. Even though, he is not to be considered as a newcomer into the European political arena, since he has already been a delegate to the Committee of the Regions and he is currently a member of the Special Observer Pillar of the National Forum on Europe.

    Speaking after accepting the nomination, Alban Maginness stated that it is time to stop wasting John Hume’s legacy, as the Sinn Fein, the DUP and the UUP, have been doing for years, and to start building the change on his message:

    “It is time for fresh thinking. The SDLP has always been the party of ideas and the party of ideals, both at home and in Europe. […] By voting for and re-electing the SDLP to the European Parliament we can send out the strongest possible message that the direction we are heading is the right one. Sinn Fein and the DUP are not working at home. They are not working in Europe. It is time for a change.”

    The PES encourages its activists and member parties to support the European Women’s Lobby 50/50 campaign for more women at the top of European politics
    www.5050democracy.eu

     Zita Gurmai, President of PES Women and great supporter of the European Women’s Lobby campaign, said: “It gives me great pleasure to support the European Women’s Lobby 50/50 campaign. We need more women at every level of European politics, including at the top. It has been a disgrace to see how few women were ever mentioned in all that talk about people supposedly in the frame for top EU jobs. I think it made people realize that something needed to be done to promote the involvement of women. The EU is not a men’s club.”
