Eurosphere agenda: “Greek PM asks creditors to drop ‘irrational’ demands

http://ift.tt/1FArJJW

Alexis Tsipras says his country close to debt deal but urges EU-IMF to drop “absurd” demands for further austerity cuts.
Leaked: Greece’s new debt restructuring plan

Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras presented a 47-page list of reforms in the context of negotiations with Jean-Claude Juncker. The list contains many recommendations – especially those that have been rejected by donors.

A critical response to Edward P. Joseph’s article “The Balkans, Interrupted published in Foreign Affairs, which has caused much anxiety and bewilderment in the region.

Greece to delay IMF debt payment
Greece tells the International Monetary Fund it will delay Friday’s €300m (£216m) debt repayment and bundle all four of its June payments together.
Terrorism and organised crime are serious threats to Europe. The EU is better placed than the member-states to deal with the transnational aspects of these threats. But disagreements between the Council and the Parliament result in gridlock over security measures. One reason is that sensitive information cannot be shared with MEPs, leaving them in the dark about both the threats and the means to deal with them. If the EU wants to tackle the threat of terrorism effectively, MEPs should be given adequate access to confidential information.

Following the Conservative Party’s victory in the 2015 general election, the UK is set to hold an in/out referendum on its membership of the European Union before the end of 2017.

Greece chooses to defer a payment of €300m (£216m) that was due to be paid to the International Monetary Fund, the first ever deferral by a developed economy.

Fifa President Joseph Blatter announced his resignation on Tuesday but intends to remain in office until his successor is elected. According to media reports Blatter is now also under investigation for corruption. Courageous journalists and lawyers have brought down the boss of the international football association, some commentators applaud. For others Blatter’s guilt has yet to be proven.

The end game approaches in Greece

The end game approaches in Greece

There have been countless rumours over the past days, weeks and months that a deal is close in negotiations between Greece and the Eurozone. But as we enter June, the issue will have to be settled one way or another. Open Europe’s Raoul Ruparel lays out where Greece stands and the prospects for a deal.

The people united: on the populism of the Mediterranean purple wave

The populist discourse of Podemos and Syriza is the attempt to cope with a post-industrial and crisis-ridden economy in which traditional class identifications fail to mobilise the electorate.

With Polish politics in a state of flux following the Presidential elections, Open Europe’s Pawel Swidlicki looks at the new parties set to challenge the establishment in autumn’s parliamentary elections, and what this could mean for Poland’s place in the EU and for David Cameron’s renegotiation.

The EU-Armenia entanglement: failed relations and the shadow of a new approach

Armenia is trapped between its traditional ties to the East and a desire to integrate with the West. In the light of an increasingly aggressive Russian foreign policy, what are Armenia’s European options?

Italian regional elections: and the winner is…?

Thanks to extremely complex electoral laws and the ease with which alliances are created and broken, as is usual in Italy, all sides claim victory. However, there are some striking conclusions we can draw from the results.

How the SNP-Tory dynamics shifted the 2015 election

Fear of the SNP drove voters to the Tories – a fear that Labour’s leadership candidates are failing to discuss.

The European Parliament retaliated against a Russian entry ban on European politicians and military leaders on Tuesday (2 June), saying Moscow’s envoy to Brussels was no longer welcome at the assembly and Russian lawmakers would be vetted before being allowed in.

The European Union’s ambition to end mobile roaming charges for citizens travelling across the continent is being stymied by member states backing their national operators, officials say.

Greece’s international creditors have made Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras a “final offer”, according to media reports after a meeting on Monday evening in Berlin. The offer purportedly proposes a compromise on the terms for further bailout payments. At last Athens is taking the role of a self-confident negotiating partner, some commentators write approvingly. Others hope the proposal will prevent a Grexit for the time being.

Is there an Alternative for Denmark?

The outcome of Denmark’s general election on June 18 could depend heavily on the success of a radical new party called The Alternative.

Just a day before the #TurkeyElections, Erdoğan is upset because Demirtaş doesn’t answer his call.. #SeniMeşguleAtacağız

http://ift.tt/1Qz2ixz

As Turks head to the polls, we look at the country’s media; plus, an interview with whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg.
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has criticizes Selahattin Demirtaş, co-chair of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP), for avoiding a call to offer his condolences following an attack on the party’s rally in Diyarbakır
Selahattin Demirtas: Meet the Kurdish lawyer that could crush Erdogan’s dreams
International Business Times UK
Erkan Saka, who teaches at Istanbul’s Bilgi University, said Demirtas is key to HDP’s grassroots campaigning that attracted many volunteers all across the country. “He’s a good communicator, sometimes I think of him as Erdogan in his early years but ..

Three days before the Turkish parliamentary elections the human rights organisation Reporters Without Borders has called on President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to stop harassing opposition media. The fate of the country’s democracy is at stake, commentators point out, and hope the left-leaning pro-Kurdish HDP will make it into parliament.

As Turkey heads toward a tense general election on June 7, the country’s EU accession negotiations—the process by which Turkey will gain admission to the European Union—hang in the balance. Last month the European Parliament postponed voting on Turkey’s 2014 progress report until June, overrunning the May 21 deadline. Kati Piri, the European Parliament’s rapporteur for Turkey, said the delay was due to the lack of time to discuss the amendments, but many believe the decision has more to do with the uncertain political environment in the country ahead of Sunday’s vote.

Turkey’s populist politics

Erdoğan’s signature speech act is reciting poems; whereas Demirtaş excites his crowds by singing.

Demirtas with his family. During the campaign for Turkey’s first popularly elected ‘Head of the Republic’, we wrote a piece declaring the winner to be “populism”. Turkey will have parliamentary elections tomorrow on June 7 and here is an update on what has changed under this heading since last August.
