Slovakia Takes Over The Eu Presidency

First, the Austrian Constitutional Court has agreed amongst suspicion held past times people similar me that at that topographic point were irregularities inward the voting that could stimulate got affected upward to 77,000 votes. Those could stimulate got gone the other style as well as the gap was just 31,000. So the judges annulled the results as well as ordered the 2d circular of the presidential elections to survive re-run. They emphasized that they stimulate got no proof that the leftists stimulate got stolen something from Hofer that belonged to him but they couldn't erase the doubts, either. Hofer may trounce the petty greenish human being or non – I don't know inward what management Republic of Austria has moved.

H5N1 few days ago, Hofer suggested that Republic of Austria could grip its ain plebiscite on Oustria assuming that the European Union keeps on moving inward a incorrect direction.



"Lightnings over Tatras" are the dramatic lyrics of the Slovak anthem – that has been a purpose of "our" anthem for almost 1/2 of my life – added past times Jánko Matúška to correspond the revolutionary chaos some 1848. The tune was taken from a folk song, She was excavation a well as well as she was looking into the dark hole. I could give you lot lots of "urban" Slovak music but these rural songs pigment quite an accurate film of the mass of Slovakia.

Meanwhile, our Slovak brothers took over the European Union presidency today – from the Netherlands. Czechia had this duty 7.5 years earlier. (Čech as well as Jágr starring inward the video clip were already real quondam athletes as well as now, 7.5 years later, they nonetheless play!) It's widely expected that Brexit as well as illegal immigration volition survive the principal topics. Slovakia has insisted that the European Union has been going inward an arrogant management as well as national Parliaments etc., including those exterior the largest countries, have to survive listened to. However, it's been also said that Slovakia wants to movement the enlargement efforts forward, especially when it comes to Serbia. Note that Serbia as well as the European Union "authorities" disagree virtually the permanency of the separation of Kosovo from Serbia.




Slovakia also plans an informal summit virtually the (post-Brexit) hereafter of the European Union for September. The province may desire to emphasize its experience from the Velvet Divorce as well as non exclusively assist the Great Britain to leave of absence the European Union but peradventure also assist Scotland to leave of absence the Great Britain ;-)

Their flashy presidency video is three weeks quondam as well as it has already been seen past times 61 viewers or as well as thence – a groovy charge per unit of measurement of $50,000 per viewer.




Meanwhile, Czech president Miloš Zeman, a self-described European Union federalist, has promised to create everything for a referendum on Czechia's membership inward the European Union as well as inward NATO. He volition vote "Remain", we're told. It seems that Zeman wants to play just the same role every bit Cameron did. That's quite funny – I am non certain what he actually thinks virtually these matters. On i hand, he actually pretends to survive a large European Union supporter – although it's obvious that the actual European Union institution views him every bit just a "slight improvement" over his predecessor Klaus. On the other hand, it's extremely probable that Czechs would vote "Leave" inward a Czech-out referendum. So his back upward for such a plebiscite is basically a back upward for an almost guaranteed Czech-out!

The electrical current Czech authorities is against such a plebiscite correct now. Clearly, lots of politicians inward other countries watch these discussions as well as say that a plebiscite would survive a bad idea.

There stimulate got been lots of opinions virtually Czech-out after the plebiscite ended upward amongst the Brexit result. In particularly, a happy Václav Klaus turned out to survive a human being who said that correct now, nosotros stimulate got a rare chance to reform the EU. I concur amongst that. Brexit is such a blow to the arrogant Brussels-based centralizers of ability that nosotros should seek to run on the hypothesis that the Europeans may retake the command over their countries as well as that the European Union may survive turned to something harmless. Some structures volition ever be at the European level, he admits.

You know, the dot is that I believe – as well as likely he believes – that the incorrect trends inward the European Union inward recent years are incorrect not only from the Czech perspective. So they should survive fixed – non exclusively for us but also for other Europeans. Our deviation from the European Union could survive viewed every bit a "small solution" to the problems as well as nosotros may survive more ambitious correct now. On locomote past times of that, I am pretty certain that I would vote to rest inward NATO!

The Czech billionaire finance government minister Andrej Babiš (ANO) said that the European Union shouldn't survive arrogant as well as it shouldn't seek to boot out the Great Britain quickly. By this pronouncement, he has joined the finance government minister Lubomír Zaorálek (social democracy) who previously said the same thing. Both authorities parties stimulate got evidently copied these opinions from the center-right opposition party, ODS. Just inward a recent TV debate, Zahradil was maxim "no demand to hurry" spell Zaorálek was maxim something else. But I experience that ODS as well as especially Klaus' as well as similar (e.g. my) opinions are to a greater extent than oftentimes than non considered "vindicated" inward Czech Republic correct at in i lawsuit as well as many other politicians may but seek to re-create them faithfully.

Babiš also stated that Czech Republic would exclusively adopt the euro over his dead (political) body. Thankfully, Poland started to find its mutual feel as well as they say similar things virtually the Euro correct now.



Off-topic, funny: Maybe the British jury wanted to expression "welcoming" to the residents from the post-communist Europe as well as thence they turned this self-evident faux pas (how the Czech media telephone telephone it) into an apparent hit. ;-) The "singer" is a Prague-born managing director inward McDonald's as well as a gym teacher as well as it's his song. Except that his project isn't quite manual, he could real good bring together the guys at the Eastern Europe Style where Czech Republic was omitted. Next time, nosotros volition transportation somebody similar Annie Dajdou to correspond us, that volition for sure revolutionize the British popular scene. ;-)
