Στα πρόθυρα της διάλυσης η Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση

του Πέτρου Παπαβασιλείου

Θερμό διπλωματικό επεισόδιο μεταξύ ΗΠΑ – Τουρκίας σημειώθηκε το προηγούμενο 48ωρο, με αφορμή τη συμμετοχή του ΝΑΤΟ στις επιχειρήσεις επιτήρησης των προσφυγικών ροών. Η γειτονική χώρα, αναιρώντας την πρόσφατη -επί της αρχής- συμφωνία, ζήτησε αναίτια να μετέχει μία τουρκική φρεγάτα στους σχηματισμούς της Βορειοατλαντικής Συμμαχίας – αίτημα το οποίο απέρριψε αμέσως η Αθήνα και η Ουάσινγκτον. Αυτός ήταν και ο λόγος της μικρής καθυστέρησης στην έλευση των νατοϊκών δυνάμεων.

Σύμφωνα με διασταυρωμένες πληροφορίες, η ατμόσφαιρα, κατά την διάρκεια των συνομιλιών, εντάθηκε σε τέτοιο βαθμό, που ανάγκασε στέλεχος της αμερικανικής πλευράς να θέσει, ανεπισήμως, ζήτημα αποπομπής της Τουρκίας από το ΝΑΤΟ. Έγκυρες διπλωματικές πηγές σημείωναν ότι η νέα σκληρή κόντρα Ουάσινγκτον – Άγκυρας βρίσκει την αφετηρία της στα υψίπεδα του Τελ Αμπιάντ, μια συριακή πόλη, στα σύνορα Συρίας – Τουρκίας, την οποία πρόσφατα ανακατέλαβαν οι κουρδικές δυνάμεις, με τη βοήθεια της αμερικανικής Πολεμικής Αεροπορίας.

Σε ένα άλλο μέτωπο, οι εκτιμήσεις για τη στάση που θα τηρήσουν η Αυστρία και οι χώρες του Βίζεγκραντ (Πολωνία, Τσεχία, Σλοβακία, Ουγγαρία), ενόψει της Συνόδου Κορυφής για το Προσφυγικό τη μεθεπόμενη Δευτέρα, 7 Μαρτίου, μόνο ενθαρρυντικές δεν είναι. Οι πιο απαισιόδοξοι, μάλιστα, δεν κρύβουν, σταθμίζοντας τα δεδομένα με μια ισχυρή δόση κυνισμού, πως «δεν πρόκειται αυτές οι χώρες να ανοίξουν τα σύνορά τους, ούτε μετά τη νέα Σύνοδο Κορυφής…».

Η σκληρή στάση της Αυστρίας στο Προσφυγικό ενισχύεται και από τις εντάσεις που προκαλεί η προεκλογική περίοδος. Σε λιγότερο από δύο μήνες, στις 24 Απριλίου, διεξάγονται προεδρικές εκλογές στην Αυστρία, με τους υποψηφίους ομοσπονδιακούς προέδρους να εκλέγονται απευθείας από το λαό. Αν επικρατήσει ο εκπρόσωπος του Λαϊκού Κόμματος, ο πρώην πρόεδρος της αυστριακής Βουλής, Αντρέας Κολ, θεωρείται βέβαιο πως η Βιέννη θα εισέλθει σε περίεργες ατραπούς.

Ο κ. Κολ είναι ο πιο «σκληρός» από την πτέρυγα των συντηρητικών, ενώ θεωρείται ο αρχιτέκτονας του δεξιού-ακροδεξιού συνασπισμού του Λαϊκού Κόμματος και του ακροδεξιού εθνικιστικού Κόμματος των Ελευθέρων. Σε περίπτωση επικράτησής του, το ρεύμα των ευρωσκεπτικιστών θα δυναμώσει πολύ στην Αυστρία, καθώς δεν είναι λίγοι εκείνοι που θα ήθελαν η χώρα τους να ακολουθήσει το παράδειγμα της Βρετανίας (δημοψήφισμα για έξοδο από την Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση).

Δημοψήφισμα, σε περίπου έξι μήνες από σήμερα, θα διεξάγει η Ουγγαρία για να αποφασισθεί αν θα γίνουν αποδεκτές οι ποσοστώσεις επανεγκατάστασης προσφύγων και μεταναστών που έχει αποφασίσει η Ε.Ε. Και στη Βουδαπέστη, όμως, οι ευρωσκεπτικιστές κερδίζουν συνεχώς έδαφος, υπό την επήρεια των ακραίων τακτικών που ακολουθεί ο πρωθυπουργός της χώρας Βίκτορ Ορμπάν. Πρόκειται για τον άνθρωπο τον οποίο ο πρόεδρος της Κομισιόν, Ζαν Κλοντ Γιουνκέρ, υποδέχθηκε στη Σύνοδο Κορυφής της Ρίγας λέγοντάς του, «Χαίρε δικτάτορα…». Τμήματα των Ούγγρων, όπως και των Αυστριακών, επιστρέφουν με φανατισμό στην ιδέα της εθνικής ταυτότητας, δυναμιτίζοντας την έννοια της ενωμένης Ευρώπης.

Η κατάσταση, όπως διαμορφώνεται, -και με το «ΟΧΙ» να διατηρεί την δυναμική του στη Βρετανία, παρά την κάμψη των προηγούμενων ημερών- αρχίζει να δικαιώνει όσους υποστηρίζουν πως η διάλυση της Ευρώπης δεν αποτελεί άλλο ένα κακόβουλο σενάριο, αλλά φθάνει απειλητικά, πλέον, στις αυλές των κοινοτικών εγκαταστάσεων στις Βρυξέλλες. Τις δραματικές αλλαγές στην ευρωπαϊκή ατζέντα επισήμαιναν οι αμερικανοί από τον περασμένο Δεκέμβριο…

The wounded US imperialist beast becomes more dangerous than ever as desperately seeks to start a WWIII

globinfo freexchange It seems that the declining Western superpower is losing ground and tries hardly to avoid the inevitable. The US imperialist beast, despite all the destruction that causes, is failing to fulfill its utter objectives. Which in short, are the dissolution of Russia and China, looting their vast resources, as well as the full expansion of the destructive neoliberal model throughout these areas and other countries allied with the Sino-Russian bloc. Most importantly, the wounded beast is loosing much of its strength due to the rapid de-dollarization that has started approximately ten years ago, as dollar had become the front line of the US imperialist sweeping force since the early 70s. As if nothing has changed, the beast insists on using the same tools to prevail in the global geopolitical field, ignoring the unprecedented changes and complexities under current circumstances. In a move (as it seems) of desperation, the United States House of Representative

Atlanta Police Violently Arrest Emory Students & Faculty to Clear Gaza Solidarity Encampment

Democracy Now! As a wave of student protests against Israel’s war on Gaza continues to spread from coast to coast, schools and law enforcement have responded with increasing brutality to campus encampments. One of the most violent police crackdowns took place at Emory University in Atlanta on Thursday, when local and state police swept onto the campus just hours after students had set up tents on the quad in protest against Israel’s war on Gaza as well as the planned police training center known as Cop City. Police used tear gas and stun guns to break up the encampment as they wrestled people to the ground, and are accused of using rubber bullets. Among those arrested were a few faculty members. Democracy Now! spoke with two of the arrested professors: Noëlle McAfee, chair of the philosophy department, and Emil’ Keme, professor of English and Indigenous studies.

"Student Intifada": Stanford, University of Michigan, Indiana University, & more

The Real News Network Seven months into Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, a student-led grassroots movement is spreading across the US and beyond, hearkening back to the student protests of the ‘60s that played a pivotal role in ending the US war in Vietnam. In what is being called the “student intifada,” with over 100 encampments going up at different college and university campuses, students, faculty, grad students, and other campus community members are exercising civil disobedience, occupying space on campuses, defying brutal repression from administrators and police, combatting skewed and wildly lopsided narratives in corporate media, and pressuring their universities to “disclose and divest” their investments in companies and financial institutions connected to Israel. TRNN speaks with encampment organizers/participants from the University of Michigan, the Indiana University, and Stanford University, and gets updates from encampments from New York to California.

Yanis Varoufakis Banned from Germany as Berlin Police Raid & Shut Down Palestinian Conference

Democracy Now! As Germany intensifies its crackdown on pro-Palestinian voices, Democracy Now! spoke with Greek economist and politician Yanis Varoufakis, one of the planned speakers at a conference in Berlin last weekend that was forcibly shut down by police. The Palestine Congress was scheduled to be held for three days, but police stormed the venue as the first panelist spoke. Germany's Interior Ministry had also banned some conference speakers from even entering the country, including Varoufakis, the Palestinian British surgeon Ghassan Abu-Sittah and the Palestinian researcher Salman Abu Sitta. " This is not about protecting Jewish lives and Jews from antisemitism. It's all about protecting the right of Israel to commit any war crime of its choice, " says Varoufakis. Varoufakis speaks also about freeing Julian Assange and his new book Technofeudalism . Related: Germany again on a dark path towards fascism

Pro-Palestinian Campus Encampments Spread Nationwide Amid Mass Arrests at Columbia, NYU & Yale

Democracy Now! Palestinian solidarity protests and encampments are appearing on college campuses from Massachusetts to California to protest Israel's attacks on Gaza and to call for divestment from Israeli apartheid. This week, police have raided encampments and arrested students at Yale and New York University. Palestinian American scholar and New York University professor Helga Tawil-Souri describes forming a faculty buffer to protect students, negotiating with police, and the ensuing crackdown that led to over 100 arrests Monday night. Uptown in New York City, the encampment at Columbia University is entering its seventh day despite mass arrests of protesters last week. "In my opinion, the NYPD were called in under false pretenses by the president of the university," says Joseph Slaughter, professor at Columbia University. "The university is being run as a sort of ad-hocracy at this point, the senior administration making up policies and procedures and pro

'Make no mistake, the full-scale assault on Rafah would be a human catastrophe': Guterres

Al Jazeera English United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has appealed for an end to the bloodshed in Gaza. He says the Middle East is at risk of explosion if the fighting continues. In his speech, Guterres urged Israel’s allies to press its leadership to stop the war on Gaza. “ I appeal to all those with influence over Israel to do everything in their power to help avert even more tragedy. The international community has a shared responsibility to promote a humanitarian ceasefire, the unconditional release of all hostages, and a massive surge in life-saving aid, ” he said. “ It is time for the parties to seize the opportunity and secure a deal for the sake of their own people. ”

Day 1846: Julian Assange still in prison and under slow-motion execution by the Anglo-American imperialist criminals

failed evolution On 11 April 2019, the Ecuadorian government of traitor Lenin Moreno, invited the Metropolitan Police into the Ecuadorian embassy in London, and they arrested Julian Assange . Since then, Assange is kept in Belmarsh high security prison in London, without actual charges. The real reason world's number one political prisoner is still kept in this high security prison, is because he exposed horrendous war crimes carried out by the US imperialists and their allies. The ruthless Western imperialist regime wants to punish the No1 real journalist in the world and make him an example for any Whistleblower or real journalist who will attempt to expose its big crimes in the future. And the Anglo-American axis has now become officially a fascist coalition , framed by the rest of its Western pets. UK's Home Secretary Priti Patel, one of the most ruthless ever, decided to extradite Julian Assange to US. No surprise of course. The only question we had in mind is
