Europa

Mi s-a părut foarte interesantă vizita Marelui Satan în Franța. (memorare) O scăpare a traducerii:

I already mentioned, but it bears repeating, that 500 French companies are operating on the Russian market. I assure you that this supports a large number of jobs in France, because French businesses supply many products to the Russian market. We support business activity in France. We could do even more if there were a full and comprehensive normalisation of relations between Russia and the European Union.

(aici începe să vorbească Macron, deși textul nu precizează acest lucru; lipsește din transcriptul în engleză o parte din răspunsul lui Macron, între 22:43 și 25:43)

We are two nuclear powers; we are two permanent members of the Security Council. We must be able to find common ground. Even if we have differences on some issues, we still need to work together. Therefore, I would like to recall what Mr Putin said about liberal democracy.

Partea lipsă în engleză o găsim în transcrierea în rusă (memorare):

Э.Макрон: Итак, я отвечу на Ваш вопрос. Во-первых, у нас есть результаты конкретные, есть подвижки. Это не означает, что у нас разногласий никаких нет, и Вы напомнили о некоторых вопросах, которые меня очень беспокоят. Я вам говорил о том, что ситуация в Сирии и в Идлибе меня беспокоит. Но что происходило два года назад? Мы, Франция, создали форум для обсуждения, для диалога. Я считаю, что в настоящий момент мы сделаем гораздо больше, в частности в гуманитарной сфере, чем два года назад. В том, что касается Украины, мы также сейчас разрешаем целый ряд сложных вопросов.

В экономической сфере Президент Путин напомнил о наших текущих отношениях, я знаю, что у нас крупномасштабные проекты в разных областях, где мы продолжаем продвигаться вперёд, где Францию ценят по достоинству. Так что есть очень много вопросов экономического, политического характера, которые продвигаются вперёд, потому что мы инвестируем в эти двусторонние отношения. Это не означает, что это разрешает все проблемы.

Второй момент. Я мог бы Вас спросить: что бы произошло, если бы мы действовали по-другому? Знаете, когда Вы задаёте этот вопрос, когда речь идёт о геополитике. Если, например, мы сказали бы себе: мы не согласны с Россией по целому ряду вопросов, поэтому мы отвернёмся и будем смотреть в другую сторону. Ответило ли бы это интересам Франции? Я убеждён в том, что нет. И я уверен, что даже когда у нас есть разногласия по целому ряду вопросов, необходимо сделать всё для того, чтобы реанимировать отношения между Россией и Европой, потому что в этом её судьба.

Если бы мы оставили ситуацию в Совете Европы в том виде, в каком она была несколько месяцев назад, что бы произошло? Ведь Россия просто бы хлопнула дверью и ушла. А для всех тех российских граждан, которые могли бы обратиться к Европейскому суду по правам человека, им бы в этом отказали. Им бы сказали: вы на это уже не имеете права. Ведь речь идёт о европейских ценностях, о защите этих европейских прав. Поэтому все те, кто говорит, что это ни к чему, что никакого положительного влияния от этого нет, они не думают о том, что мы должны постоянно подталкивать эту великую державу, которой является Россия, в новых геополитических условиях вперёд, потому что иначе это просто не отвечало бы нашим интересам.

Mi s-a părut interesantă relaxarea oarecum sastisită a Marelui Satan. A oftat de nenumărate ori…

Cheia vizitei este, cred, în propunerea pe care o face MS Europei; iată, spusă de Macron:

I think that two years are insignificant at the level of our societies. This is why I believe we should make new efforts today to build a new architecture for European security for our countries.

[…]

Europe must simply revise its concept of sovereignty. It has allies and it must play its role in a world where Western hegemony is continuously questioned. This is why dialogue between the European Union and Russia is absolutely necessary for the European Union to again acquire its weight, to resume its role. This will take time. As I said, we will not be able to resolve everything today, but we will work on all this both today and in the future. (sublinierea mea  cu roșu)

Propunere făcută, sub formă de glumă serioasă, și la SPIEF de anul trecut. Desigur, sunt convins că Macron n-are ce-i trebuie pentru asta; pe de altă parte, îl paște pericolul care i-a lovit pe austrieci, nu demult.

Far-right Party Quits Austria’s Cabinet over Russian Ties Leak Scandal
Austria will likely hold early elections in September as Chancellor Kurz broke up the ruling colaition with the far-right in the wake of the Strache scandal.
All ministers from the far-right Austrian Freedom Party (FPOe) have resigned from Austria’s Cabinet over the scandal erupting after the leak of a video exposing the party’s exchange with a Russian oligarch.

The resignations come after Austria’s Chancellor Sebastian Kurz of the right-wing Austrian People’s Party (OeVP) broke his governing coalition with the FPOe and called snap elections.

The scandal broke out over the weekend as a video leaked by German media showed FPOe leader and Vice Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache offer lucrative business deals to a woman posing as the niece of a Russian oligarch during a meeting in the Spanish resort of Ibiza in 2017.

Russian media have interpreted the Strache Scandal as a secret service operation designed to sour relations with Moscow.

The leak led Strache to resign on Saturday as both Vice Chancellor and party chief but his resignation was not sufficient for Austrian Chancellor Kurz.

The ministers from Austria’s far-right Freedom Party announced on Monday their resignations from Kurz’s Cabinet in solidarity with Interior Minister Herbert Kickl – after Kurz asked for Kickl’s sacking.

Herbert Kickl was chairman of the FPOe in 2017 when the footage was recorded. As FPÖ secretary general, he would likely have been aware of any illegal donations, DW reports.

Under the Austrian system, the Chancellor is obliged the President to approve the sacking of a Cabinet member.

The FPOe reacted in protest to Kurz’s asking President Alexander Van der Bellen to okay the removal of Interior Minister Kickl.

“Complete transparency” and “total clarification” were necessary after the scandal, Kurz said, adding that Kickl’s response to the scandal had not displayed the “necessary sensitivity.”

The quitting of the far-right ministers in the Austrian government will leave it in a hard spot as the vacant portfolios will also be defense, labor, foreign policy, and transport.

Kurz made it clear at a news conference with Vienna that he had discussed with President Alexander Van der Bellen the option of filling the positions with civil servants and technocrats. Kurz’s Cabinet will likely face a no-confidence vote by opposition MPs next week.

“[The leaked video scandal] has damaged the image of our country around the world,” Kurz declared earlier.

On Sunday, Austria’s President Van der Bellen suggested that early elections be held at the beginning of September.

Kurz’s center-right People’s Party has been ruling in coalition with the far-right Freedom Party since 2017. The Austrian Chancellor has been criticized for the alliance, which has itself grown uneasy over time.

După vizita în Franța – vizită în Finlanda. (memorare)
