Europe at crossroads

by Aléxis Tsípras

Athens (Greece) | 31 May 2015

On 25th of last January, the Greek people made a courageous decision. They dared to challenge the one-way street of the Memorandum’s tough austerity, and to seek a new agreement. A new agreement that will keep the country in the Euro, with a viable economic program, without the mistakes of the (…)

On 17 December 2007, the International Donors’ Conference for the Palestinian State raised $7.7 billion for the Palestinian Authority until 2010.

"Nuclear escalation: danger"

by Michel Rocard

9 February 2006

Mister President, on January 19 you gave an important speech in which you reminded our country the fundamental principles that make up our defence policy. But, even when it’s important for the French population to know how we defend our vital interests, having irrefutable decisions about this is (…)

“The longer the conflict with the Palestinians, the lesser the time for Israel”

by Tzipi Livniс

1 February 2006

Kadima is at the centre of the Israeli consensus. Israel is a national home for the Jewish people and it must be democratic. This combination should lead us to give up a part of the Eretz Israel and accept the existence of two nation-states. The Likud has known this for a long time but it (…)

“Sharon made progress because of our mistakes”

by Yasser Abed Rabbo

18 January 2006

Palestinians cannot mourn for Ariel Sharon. He was and still is the symbol of their suffering. My first political memory is a rally organized to protest the raind against Qibya in 1953. It was then one of Ariel Sharon’s actions. For the Palestinians, there is a way of continuity between this (…)

“Our ghettos seen from England”

by Tariq Ramadan

23 November 2005

The revolts in the French slums have got the attention of
England where people wonder about the integration problems
of the French system. This is the opposite of what
happened last July after the attacks in London. The
comparison regarding form: “which society has better
handled the (…)

“Our Strategy is the Right One”

by Nicolas Sarkozy

23 November 2005

Since a few days ago, a band of faithless and lawless
individuals have not hesitated to shoot real bullets at
the representatives of the Republic, loot, steal and set
schools on fire. A man was killed in front of his family
and a disabled woman trapped on a bus, doused with
gasoline and (…)

“How the dreaded superstate became a Commonwealth"

by Timothy Garton Ash

11 November 2005

This week, the European Union did something remarkable. It chose to become an all-European Commonwealth, not the part-European superstate of Tory nightmares. Actually, the main objective of the opening –bitterly contested– of negotiations with Turkey is not to ensure that Turkey becomes a member (…)

“Iran: restoring trust”

by Jack Straw, Javier Solana , Joschka Fischer , Philippe Douste-Blazy, Luis David Obando López

26 October 2005

All governments agree that it’s necessary to put an end to the proliferation of nuclear weapons. To respect the Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT) is an obligation. Two years ago, Iran recognized before the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that it was creating the infrastructure for the (…)

“Abu Musab al-Zarkawi is dead. His name has been used by the occupying forces to stay in Iraq”

by Jawad Al-Khalessi

7 October 2005

I don’t think Abu Musab al-Zarkawi exists. He died in Northern Iraq at the beginning of the war (his family even made a funeral ceremony in Jordan). Since then, his name has been nothing but a toy, an excuse used by Americans to stay in Iraq. To declare “total war against the Shia” is a way of (…)

“Coming out of the Iranian nuclear crisis triumphantly”

by François Nicoullaud

30 September 2005

The magnitude of the Iranian nuclear issue largely depends on the nature and the behaviour of the Islamic regime. Part of the international community supported the action of Germany, France and the United Kingdom aimed at putting an end to the unacceptable activities of a signatory country of (…)

“Defending Michael Khodorkovski”

by Patrick Klugman

27 September 2005

On September 14, Michael Kodorkovski appealed his 9-year sentence in prison. It was not a surprise that the Russian press, controlled by the government, expressed its satisfaction for such a sentence to satisfy an irritated opinion. It is a pity that in France and Europe the matter has been (…)

by Craig Roberts Stapleton

19 September 2005

September 11, 2001 appalling images are etched on the whole world’s memory and during this time for commemorations, Americans recall the fraternity between them and France specially on this occasion characterized by Le Monde’s unforgettable headline: "We All Are Americans”. Again, after (…)

“ The invasion of the isolationists”

by Francis Fukuyama

14 September 2005

Four years after September 11, is the U.S. foreign policy the result of the political culture of the United States? And to what extend is it determined by the particularities of the current president and his administration? It may be considered that Washington is just following its political (…)
