Another Catalan leadership hopeful bites the dust

https://www.politico.eu/article/jordi-sanchez-catalonia-president-candidate-imprisoned-another-catalan-leadership-hopeful-bites-the-dust/

MADRID — Catalan separatists’ hopes of regaining control of the region suffered a fresh blow Friday after a court refused to release from jail the man they wanted to be the new president.

The Spanish Supreme Court said pro-independence activist Jordi Sànchez must remain in prison, which means he cannot attend the regional parliament’s session on Monday that had been called to appoint him as regional president.

The decision derails Sànchez’s bid for power and forces the separatist majority in the Catalan chamber to change tack once again if they’re to regain control of the regional government — which has been under direct rule from Madrid since October last year.

Sànchez, an elected lawmaker and former head of the pro-independence Catalan National Assembly group, has been in pre-trial detention since October as part of an investigation into the push for independence.

After the failed bids of Puigdemont and Sànchez, the separatists are left looking for a new candidate. The man who was thought to have the greatest chance of success, former Cabinet member Jordi Turull, appeared to reject the idea late on Friday, according to an official in Puigdemont’s Catalan European Democratic Party (PDECat).

Death of investigative journalist sparks mass protests in Slovakia

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/mar/09/death-of-investigative-journalist-sparks-mass-protests-in-slovakia

Tens of thousands of Slovaks have rallied to demand the resignation of prime minister Robert Fico’s government following the murder of a journalist that has shocked the central European nation and stoked anger over sleaze in public life.

Ján Kuciak and his fiancee, Martina Kušnírová, both 27, were found shot dead at their home near Bratislava on 25 February. Police have said Kuciak’s death was “most likely” related to an investigation of his that resulted in an article on alleged ties between Slovakia’s top politicians and the Italian mafia, which his employer posthumously published.

Organisers demanded a thorough investigation of Kuciak’s death and a “new trustworthy government”. “Politicians in power have lost our trust,” said protester Maria Kuliovska, a 30-year-old mother on maternity leave. “We don’t trust them to guarantee an independent investigation. They have failed to investigate all previous scandals.”

Fico has accused foreign forces of trying to destabilise Slovakia and has questioned the president’s meetings with financier George Soros in New York last year without any foreign ministry official being present.

How China Is Challenging American Dominance in Asia

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/03/09/world/asia/china-us-asia-rivalry.html

Every Asian country now trades more with China, often by a factor of two to one, an imbalance that is only growing as China’s economic growth outpaces that of United States.

But another metric of great power influence, arms sales, shows United States’ enduring reach. Countries that purchase American weapons bind their militaries and their foreign policies to the United States. The imbalance reflects the extent of American military relationships in Asia, which date back to World War II.

Japan is matching China’s rise with its own resurgence, leveraging its economy — the world’s third-largest — to build an independently powerful military and set of diplomatic relationships. It is attempting to reconstitute an informal and implicitly anti-Chinese alliance known as “the quad,” which includes India, Australia and the United States.

North Korea apparently hopes to one day strike a deal with Washington, allowing it to climb out from a half-century of Chinese dominance. If Beijing cannot keep even North Korea as a client state, it will have trouble cultivating others.

Sri Lanka might not seem like a geopolitical bellwether. But Asia-watchers have been glued to developments here since 2014, when a Chinese submarine sailed into a port built with Chinese investment. It marked a new era, in which China is converting its economic power into military power — and, in poorer democracies, into political influence.

This a promising model for China, whose economic strengths naturally fit the needs of small, developing countries. But small, poor allies are less powerful than rich ones, which tend pro-American, and Beijing can be clumsy when dealing with democracies.

Many Asian leaders are eluding the great powers by hedging between them. Few have done so as creatively and brazenly as President Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines.

Cuba vote marks final chapter of Castro legacy[url][/url]

http://www.dw.com/en/cuba-vote-marks-final-chapter-of-castro-legacy/a-42925387

Some 8 million Cubans will vote on Sunday to ratify the island's new National Assembly, paving the way for the selection of a new leader when President Raul Castro steps down next month.

The 605 candidates elected to parliament on Sunday will be tasked with designating Cuba's 31-member Council of State — the body that will ultimately hand-pick the new president in April, thereby ending the Castro family's political reign over the communist-run island after almost six decades.

Sunday's general election will also instigate a generational shift at the lower end of Cuban politics. Several analysts expect a number of revolutionaries currently seated in the parliament to also retire once Raul Castro steps down.

Cuba's new government faces a host of hurdles as it takes over. After an upswing in relations with the United States under President Barack Obama, his successor, Donald Trump, has vowed to maintain Washington's decades-long trade embargo on its communist neighbor. Responding to Fidel Castro's death in 2016, Trump described the revolutionary leader as "a brutal dictator who oppressed his own people."

Diaz-Canel will therefore face a far stiffer test than his predecessors, and this will not be helped by his lacking the same moral authority enjoyed by the revolutionary Castro brothers. The incoming president will therefore have to earn his legitimacy in the eyes of the voters, by addressing their concerns and raising living standards.

France's far-right National Front severs ties with founder Jean-Marie Le Pen

http://www.dw.com/en/frances-far-right-national-front-severs-ties-with-founder-jean-marie-le-pen/a-42927110

Almost 80 percent of the French far-right National Front's (FN) members voted on Sunday to banish the party's firebrand founder Jean-Marie Le Pen once and for all.

Severing ties with Le Pen was approved by party members in addition to several new bylaws on the second day of FN's congress in Lille. The party is scrambling to restructure, after reaching the second round of France's presidential elections last May, the FN has seen a steep a fall of support in the polls.

Marine Le Pen was re-elected to serve as FN leader for a third term in a postal vote, the results of which were announced on Sunday. She was the only candidate.


The party is expected to keep the word "national" in its new name. "Rassemblement national," translated as National Union, has been mooted as an option. FN members will vote on the proposed name later Sunday.

Japan PM, finance minister under fire over suspected cronyism scandal

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-japan-politics/japan-pm-finance-minister-under-fire-over-suspected-cronyism-scandal-idUSKCN1GO01K?

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan’s finance ministry on Monday acknowledged that documents in a suspected cronyism scandal had been doctored, said a senior ruling party official, as pressure mounts on Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his ally Finance Minister Taro Aso over the case.

Abe has repeatedly denied he or his wife did favors for school operator Moritomo Gakuen, which bought the land, and has said he would resign if evidence were found that they had. The issue last year sharply eroded Abe’s popularity.

Suspicions of a cover-up could slash Abe’s ratings and dash his hopes of a third term as leader of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). Victory in the LDP September leadership vote would put him on track to become Japan’s longest-serving premier. The doubts have also sparked calls for Aso to resign.

Sierra Leone presidential poll set for Julius Maada Bio and Samura Kamara run-off

http://www.dw.com/en/sierra-leone-presidential-poll-set-for-julius-maada-bio-and-samura-kamara-run-off/a-42929913

Sierra Leone's electoral commission said Julius Maada Bio, leader of the opposition People's Party, was about 15,000 votes ahead of rival Samura Kamara, with 75 percent of the ballots counted.

According to partial results, Bio had 43.4 percent of the vote, while Kamara of the ruling All People's Congress (APC) had 42.6 percent. The other two main candidates — Kandeh Yumkella and Samuel Sam-Sumana — were on 7 percent and 3.4 percent, respectively.

Whoever is ultimately declared president faces a number of significant challenges. The economy of the poverty-stricken country is in a poor state following a commodity price slump and an Ebola epidemic that killed thousands of people.

Russia says it has successfully launched powerful new missile

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/mar/11/russia-hypersonic-kinzhal-missile-launch

Russia has said it successfully launched a hypersonic missile described by Vladimir Putin as an ideal weapon when he unveiled new armaments earlier this month.

The Kinzhal missile was launched from a MiG-31 aircraft that took off from an airfield in south-western Russia, the defence ministry said.

The Kinzhal missile was one of the weapons the Russian president unveiled in his state of the nation address earlier this month, ahead of a presidential election on 18 March that he is all but guaranteed to win.

Colombia election: Former Farc rebels face first ballot

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-43363865

Polls have closed in Colombia's congressional elections that saw former members of the Farc guerilla group take part for the first time.

The ex-rebels, now known as the Revolutionary Alternative Common Force (also Farc), were given 10 congressional seats as part of a historic peace deal signed in 2016.

But opinion polls give the left-wing group little chance of making gains.

The vote is being viewed as a test ahead of May's presidential elections.

Analysts expect the composition of Colombia's Congress to remain largely the same, with conservative parties who oppose the peace agreement hoping to win an absolute majority.

Colombia: Opposing peace with FARC, conservatives make gains at the polls

http://www.dw.com/en/colombia-opposing-peace-with-farc-conservatives-make-gains-at-the-polls/a-42931195

A hardline conservative grouping led by the Democratic Center party made gains in Colombia's legislative elections, according to official results published on Monday.

In the Senate, the Democratic Center garnered the most votes with 16.4 percent. It came in second in the House of Representatives with 16 percent, marking an increase of more than 40 percent compared to the 2014 election.

However, the conservative grouping fell short of an absolute majority with three moderate parties that had formed part of President Juan Manuel Santos' coalition government pulling 43 percent of the vote in the upper house and 38 percent in the lower house.

The moderate camp's result likely gives them the ability to block attempts to deride the implementation of the peace process.

On the other hand, FARC failed to gain any other seats besides the 10 allocated to them under the peace process. The rebels-turned-politicians garnered 0.35 percent of the vote for the Senate and 0.22 percent in the House of Representatives.

Slovakia's interior minister resigns amid uproar over investigative journalist's murder

http://www.dw.com/en/slovakias-interior-minister-resigns-amid-uproar-over-investigative-journalists-murder/a-42934962

Slovak Interior Minister Robert Kalinak resigned on Monday amid nationwide outrage at the murder of an investigative journalist and his fiancee.

The junior coalition partner Most-Hid group made Kalinak's resignation a central requirement for its continued support for the government. As interior minister, he was responsible for overseeing the country's police force.

Although the government has denied any links between two people who worked in Fico's office and were reportedly connected to the mafia via business intermediaries, the fallout has damaged its reputation.

May issues ultimatum to Moscow over Salisbury poisoning

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/mar/12/russia-highly-likely-to-be-behind-poisoning-of-spy-says-theresa-may

Theresa May has given Vladimir Putin’s administration until midnight on Tuesday to explain how a former spy was poisoned in Salisbury, otherwise she will conclude it was an “unlawful use of force” by the Russian state against the UK.

After chairing a meeting of the national security council, the prime minister told MPs that it was “highly likely” that Russia was responsible for the attack on and his daughter, Yulia. She warned that Britain would not tolerate such a “brazen attempt to murder innocent civilians on our soil”.

In a statement to the House of Commons that triggered an angry response from Moscow, the prime minister said the evidence had shown that Skripal had been targeted by a “military-grade nerve agent of a type developed by Russia”. Describing the incident as an “indiscriminate and reckless act”, she said that the foreign secretary, Boris Johnson, had summoned the Russian ambassador to Whitehall and demanded an explanation by the end of Tuesday.

歐洲動態: 意大利大選 北聯盟南五星

http://europechinese.blogspot.hk/2018/03/blog-post_12.html



除了政黨之間的強弱,這次大選另一個受關注的趨勢是,南北結果南轅北轍,以聯盟黨為首的右派聯盟近乎在全部北部地區成為最大派系,只有德語人為主的南提羅及上圖左上角的Valle d'Aosta(灰色區域)是例外;南部卻是五星橫掃,愈南邊,該黨得票就愈高,甚至有一半。

不過,現在意大利選民整體傾向捨棄主流政黨,弄出「北聯盟、南五星」(中部勝出的中右派,應該仍是貝老是最大右派,但在北部這個聯盟黨老巢,一定是聯盟黨是最大右派),這就令組閣談判變得更複雜。儘管這兩個政黨都被說成「民粹」、「反歐盟」(但是兩黨現在都不說棄用歐元或退出歐盟了),但在經濟及社會政策上是相反。聯盟黨主張薪俸稅最高稅率劃一在23%,但南部人近乎沒多少個的年薪是可以高到目前支付23%以上的稅率,你把最高稅率削減,南部人也不會受惠,只會認為這是只有利北部的富人;五星就主張全民基本收入,至少在一定收入以下的人士可無條件派錢,選後不久已有南部人問何時派錢,不知道五星是最大黨不代表他們一定可執政,但北部人看在眼裏,覺得是不工作就有收入,不能接受。

House GOP ending Russia probe, says no collusion found

http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/378017-house-gop-ending-russia-probe-says-no-collusion-found

The House Intelligence Committee is shutting down its contentious investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, the top Republican leading the probe announced on Monday.

The committee will interview no more witnesses and Republicans are in the process of preparing their final report, Rep. Mike Conaway (R-Texas) told reporters. A draft of that roughly 150-page report will be delivered to committee Democrats for review on Tuesday.

The draft document asserts that there is no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians, the most politically charged question examined by the committee. It will also contradict an official U.S. intelligence community assessment that Russian President Vladimir Putin showed a “preference” for Donald Trump during the race — another assertion that Trump has disputed.

Senate GOP shoots down bill blocking Trump tariffs

http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/378044-senate-gop-downplays-chances-of-bills-to-halt-trump-tariffs

Senate GOP leadership is downplaying the chances of a showdown with President Trump over tariffs, predicting they’ll be able to work out their differences without legislation.

Republican lawmakers signaled on Monday that they believe the White House will ultimately narrow the financial penalties after initially only providing exceptions for Canada and Mexico.

Asked about legislation, Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) predicted there would be a "back-and-forth" between congressional Republicans and Trump before the tariffs are implemented.

Neither Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) nor House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) have weighed in on taking legislative action. Both emphasized that they wanted to work with Trump to narrow the tariffs in the immediate wake of his decision.

Because any legislation will need Trump’s signature, it could ultimately be required to get two-thirds support in both chambers — a Herculean task for a GOP-controlled Congress against a Republican president.
