POZSONY. Június negyedikére esik az idén az adószabadság napja Szlovákiában. Ez az az időpont, ameddig az állampolgárok bevételeit teljes mértékben a közteherviselés emészti fel. Tavaly két nappal korábban, június másodikán volt az adószabadság napja.

A múlt pénteken tartottak Budapesten Ötéves a kormány címmel egy konferenciát. Beszédet mondott Orbán Viktor miniszterelnök is. Az öt év – azaz a fél évtized – amúgy csak félig-meddig igazi évforduló, nem is mindig szokás megemlékezni róla, csak ha mindenáron ünnepelni akarunk, vagy ha erre külön okunk van. Ez esetben az utóbbiról lehet szó. A Fidesz-KDNP 2014 őszétől kezdődő rohamos népszerűségvesztése lehetett ez a nyomós ok. A közvélemény-kutatók azt jelezték, hogy röpke fél év alatt mintegy egymillió szavazó hagyta el a pártszövetséget. Aki esetleg nem hitt ezeknek az adatoknak, annak Veszprém, majd Tapolca szolgáltatott bizonyítékot: a veszprémi időközi választáson – nevezzük így – a balliberális tábor jelöltje győzött, a tapolcain pedig a Jobbiké.

Jorge Domecq, EDA Chief Executive, today met with Martin Glváč, Minister of Defence of the Slovak Republic, to exchange views on the preparation of the European Council in June 2015 and Slovakia’s participation in EDA projects.

The Slovak Chief of Defence stated that Slovakia and the Ministry of Defence were ready to support EDA’s intentions and reinforce present cooperation. „We will support your initiatives. I think we should begin with smaller projects and then move to the bigger ones,“ said Minister of Defence Martin Glváč. He also noted that in V4 countries one of the problems with closer cooperation is that V4 countries were for too long aiming in different directions. „This is the main problem why we sometimes have difficulties to unite our development programmes“, he stated.

He also informed the EDA Chief Executive about current defence modernisation projects, which until now covered mainly air forces. „Our task now is to continue with modernisation of land forces, where we would like to focus on 4x4 and 8x8 vehicles“, he said. He also noted that Slovak defence companies are awakening. „A good example are our military repair facilities, which we leased to our strategic partners so they can offer their products further“, said Minister of Defence Martin Glváč.

“The Agency’s main tasks are to support Member States in their efforts to improve defence capabilities, to encourage cooperative R&T, to support the national defence industries and to ensure that military views are taken into account in wider EU policies. The Agency clearly is at the service of Member States and our support corresponds to their level of ambitions. We welcome the active participation of the Slovak Republic in countering improvised explosive devices; the harmonisation of the Single European Sky and works on airworthiness and standardisation topics. We hope this engagement will increase in the near future”, said Jorge Domecq during the visit in Bratislava.

The discussion is part of a series of visits by Mr. Domecq to all EDA Member States following his appointment as EDA Chief Executive. So far, Mr. Domecq visited Spain, Lithuania, Latvia, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Germany, Portugal, the Netherlands, Ireland, France, Romania, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Croatia, Estonia, Poland, Hungary, Greece, Cyprus, Luxembourg, Finland, Sweden and Italy.

A belgrádi és újvidéki bemutatója után a zentai művelődési ház színháztermében is óriási sikert aratott a tokiói Ala place színházi társulat Balkáni kém című előadása. Dušan Kovačević kultikus drámájára a Tisza-parti kisvárosban is rengetegen voltak kíváncsiak, s szinte lehetetlen volt helyet kapni a nézőtér mögötti kisteremben is, ahonnan egyébként kivetítőn keresztül lehetett megnézni az előadást. Tsuyoshi Sugiyama, a darab rendezője az alkotásban megtartotta ugyan a színdarab lokális elemeit, s fanyar humorát, azzal, hogy igyekezett az egészet a japán életvitel sajátosságaihoz igazítani, ami egyfajta egzotikus színnel gazdagította az előadást. A főhősöket, Ilija és Danica Čorovićot megformáló Teitsu Tanaka és Hemi Ce pedig alakításukkal, illetve az antologikus párbeszédek sajátos előadásával megnevetették a közönséget.

Dušan Kovačević Balkáni kém című alkotását 1982-ben mutatták be először, s maga a szerző is meglepődött, amikor először megtekintette a tokiói társulat előadását. Elmondása szerint kellemes élmény volt számára, hogy drámájának a főhőse továbbra is „kémkedik”, s még Japánba is sikerült eljutnia.

A színdarabot a Japan Tobacco International multinacionális cég és a Japán Császárság szerbiai nagykövetségének a támogatásával mutatták be.

The ninth EU-Algeria Association Council took place this morning in Brussels.

The Association Council was chaired by Ms Mogherini, High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice-President of the European Commission. Algeria was represented by H.E. Mr Ramtane Lamamra, Minister of State and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.

This latest meeting of the Association Council enabled the two parties to renew their intention to consolidate the bilateral relationship, not only through the implementation of the Association Agreement, but also through an ambitious political dialogue.

In this connection, the Association Council was an opportunity to reflect on common challenges.  The two parties reviewed the latest developments on Libya, the Malian crisis and combatting terrorism and preventing radicalisation. They also discussed migration and energy cooperation, marked this year by the holding of the first high-level dialogue on energy. The progress of integration in the Maghreb region was also discussed.

The EU and Algeria noted a convergence of views on the review of the European Neighbourhood Policy and reiterated their commitment to concluding negotiations on the action plan in 2015. In this context, both parties expressed their interest in the continuation of political, institutional and socio-economic reforms in Algeria aimed at strengthening democracy and good governance, through an inclusive dialogue with all elements of civil society. To that end, the two parties reviewed bilateral cooperation priorities, including the diversification of the economy and the strengthening of citizen participation in public life.

The parties also addressed the subject of the protection and defence of human rights. The EU welcomed the recent reforms adopted on the advancement of women. Concerning the right of association, the right to assembly and the freedom of assembly, the EU encouraged Algeria to strengthen its cooperation with the United Nations system in order to align itself more closely with the international standards in this field.

As regards technical cooperation, the two parties signed a protocol to the Association Agreement allowing Algeria to participate in Euro-Mediterranean programmes. Algeria will consequently be able to take part in 20 EU programmes, such as COSME (SMEs), Horizon 2020 (research) and Creative Europe (culture and media).

POZSONY. A társadalmi és kulturális élet hetven neves képviselője írta alá a Nem akarjuk elcserélni az Európai Uniót Oroszországért elnevezésű nyilatkozatot, melyben élesen bírálja Robert Fico miniszterelnök külpolitikai lépéseit.

ANKARA, 4 June 2015 – The leaders of the OSCE’s short-term observer mission for Turkey’s upcoming parliamentary vote have completed visits to Adana and Diyarbakir provinces, respectively, while dozens of other OSCE parliamentary observers have arrived in country ahead of the election.

Vilija Aleknaite Abramikiene, a Vice-President of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly from Lithuania who is serving as Special Co-ordinator of the short-term OSCE observer mission, visited Adana province in south-central Turkey on 3-4 July. 

She met with Governor Mustafa Buyuk; representatives of the Provincial Election Board; representatives of several political parties; representatives of civil society, including a voters’ group; and long-term observers from the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (OSCE/ODIHR).

“The bombing of the People’s Democratic Party office here in Adana two weeks ago was a vivid reminder that Turkey has real security challenges. I was therefore pleased to hear from candidates and to personally witness that parties remain very active and engaged in campaigning for votes. I expect the Turkish authorities to continue doing their utmost to guarantee security on election day for all candidates, party representatives, facilities, and of course voters, whom I hope will turn out in large numbers,” said Aleknaite Abramikiene. 

Aleknaite Abramikiene also served as OSCE Special Co-ordinator for the August 2014 presidential election observation mission. 

Ignacio Sanchez Amor (MP, Spain), who is serving as Head of the OSCE PA Delegation of observers, traveled to Diyarbakir province in southeastern Turkey on 3-4 July. 

There he met with Governor Huseyin Aksoy; representatives of the Provincial Election Board; representatives of several political parties, including human rights and women’s groups; and long-term observers from the OSCE/ODIHR.

“I have certainly taken note of security considerations in Diyarbakir and other Turkish provinces near the Syrian border and have followed the situation in these areas carefully. I have been particularly impressed by the great amount of solidarity demonstrated by the local population vis-à-vis the tragedy of the Syrian refugees, whom the people here call their ‘Syrian guests,’” said Sanchez Amor, who is also the OSCE PA’s Special Representative on OSCE Border Issues.

“But my meetings have also addressed the many other facets of this election, including the media environment and other aspects of the campaign period. These will all factor into the OSCE’s assessment of this vote,” he added.

The observer mission will assess the elections against democratic commitments contained in the OSCE’s 1990 Copenhagen Document.

Aleknaite Abramikiene and Sanchez Amor also underscored the high level of international interest in the 7 July vote.

The OSCE’s short-term observer mission comprises nearly 50 OSCE parliamentarians from 20 countries. 

The parliamentarians, who have begun arriving in Ankara, will participate in two days of briefings ahead of election day. The briefings will include representatives of the Supreme Board of Elections, party representatives, members of the media and civil society, representatives of the Radio and Television Supreme Council and long-term observers from the OSCE/ODIHR.

On 7 June, the OSCE parliamentary observers will deploy to polling stations across Turkey.

Aleknaite Abramikiene and Sanchez Amor, in conjunction with other appropriate officials, will deliver the mission’s statement of preliminary findings and conclusions at a press conference in Ankara on 8 June.
