Germany: Regional minister faces criticism for his alleged connection with far-rightists

By 829 0

A German regional minister has faced serious criticism for his alleged connection with a suspected member of a far-rightist organisation.

The allegation against the regional minister is that he has purchased a gun from the suspected far-rightist activist.

The criticism has intensified when he has tried to lighten the heat of the criticism by saying that the purchase was a personal matter.

The incident is the main talk in social media platforms based in the region. Media houses have covered the story aggressively. Some have even exceeded its limits to portray the regional minister as a far-rightist sympathiser.

The minister has admitted of purchasing the gun. But he has refused to accept his alleged link, and dismissed it as baseless.

He has filed his resignation. In the statement he has released at the time he has submitted his resignation, the minister has portrayed his resignation as a sacrifice he has made for his family.  

The minister has criticised the media for twisting the facts.

Notably, the development has happened at the time the country was trying to enfeeble the threat posed by the far-rightist activism.

The far-rightist activism is the biggest threat the European superpower of Germany faces at this juncture.

Hong Kong’s resistance: The west joins effort to protect Hong Kongers’ rights

By 984 0

Hong Kong is a part of China now. Earlier, it was a region controlled by the United Kingdom. It was the west which turned the region a true trade hub.

In the recent past, the trade hub was handed over to China. The process was backed by an agreement Beijing reached with London. The agreement assured that China would protect the democratic values and practices the hub inherited from the UK.

Unfortunately, since the transfer of the region from the UK to China, the latter has been systematically dismantling every thing the region inherited, including the democratic values and practices.

The action, naturally, has received serious resistance. The city has witnessed numerous protests against China’s aggression.

As part of China’s strategy, it has recently imposed some laws to suppress those who have voiced their disagreement against the Chinese action.

China last week dismissed the law-making body of Hong Kong.

It seems that the Hong Kong issue has struck a peak point. The west, especially the United Kingdom and the United States, has openly criticised the Chinese policy. It has sent an ultimatum to the Communist Country of China to withdraw its anti-democratic actions.

It is yet to be seen how the things will evolve. China has not yet commented about the new development.

Russian Parliament clears bill offering immunity to Russian Presidents and their families

By 865 0

In a move which is regarded as highly crucial, the Russian Parliament has cleared a bill, which offers immunity to Russian Presidents and their families.

The move has been questioned by numerous political activists. Renowned political activist Alexei Navalny has asked why does the Russian President need an immunity at this juncture.

The law implies even if Russian President Vladimir Putin steps down from the top post he cannot be prosecuted by the Russian government in any circumstance.

The bill is a part of the constitutional amendments which was approved by the Russian population few months before.

Mr. Putin at present has absolute control over the Russian Parliament. The Parliament is dominated by the supporters of the Russian President.

The Russian President is supposed to step down from the post in the year 2024. A new amendment allows him to contest in at least two more elections.

As the possibility of the emergence of a new Presidential figure is less, the possibility of the re-election of the Russian President to the top post is very high.    

Mr. Putin is not less than 68-year-old. He has been in power since the year 2000.

The new bill however has generated fresh speculations about the political future of the Russian dictator.

Conservative Europeans block Covid recovery fund

By 879 0

Two conservative European countries, Hungary and Poland, have blocked the Covid-19 recovery fund, introduced to help those countries which were destroyed by the virus outbreak.

The European Union budget has been stopped using a clause that ties funding with adherence to the rule of law in the bloc.

Had the budget been passed, those countries which were devastated by the virus outbreak would have received a strong financial support of €750bn.

The EU functions on the basis of consensus. Each and every member has the right to veto European Union Budget.

The EU consists of over 27 member countries.

Hungary and Poland have used their veto power to block the budget.

Actually, these two conservative countries are not in a good relation with the rest of the European Union countries.

 The EU is currently investigating both countries for undermining the independence of courts, media and non-governmental organisations.

EU states had already agreed on the €1.1tn budget for 2021-2027, and the coronavirus stimulus package after a marathon four-day summit in July.

It is yet to been seen how the EU will handle the present crisis.

The EU is at the edge of a possible collapse. Already, the Covid-19 affected countries are angry with the EU for not coming to its rescue in a timely manner.

Maia Sandu, the opposition candidate, has defeated Igor Dodon, the incumbent President, in the Moldovan Election.

The winner has secured as many as 57.7 per cent vote. At the same time, her opponent, Mr. Dodon failed to wrist more than 42.2 per cent vote.

The contest, though was between Ms. Sandu and Mr. Dodon, was actually between the European Union and the EU rebel of Russia.

The winner is a pro-European candidate. The looser is a pro-Russian candidate. The result implies that the country in the near future may move close to the faction led by France and Germany away from the one led by Russia.

Ms. Sandu, who is 48-year old financial expert, is a former World Bank economist.

As soon as the initial trend has become out, the opposition has gone to a celebration mood.

The final result is expected to be released in the near future itself.

It is clear that the final result will be a big blow to the faction led by Russia and may reduce the influence of the European rebel in the region where the former Soviet satellite is located.
