"Nobody wants a shift to a new arms race or to a military confrontation. Here's why one of the most important tasks today is to build mutual trust and consider the safety of all international actors. It is only on this basis that we can develop and adopt decisions on a wide range of issues of mutual interest, "said the head of Russian diplomacy.

The international conference on European security takes place on 23 and 24 May in Moscow. The purpose of the forum is to discuss openly the problems of safety in Europe and to make proposals to ensure equal security for all countries of the continent.

The conference brings together representatives of the U.S. and Russian Ministries of Defense and Foreign Affairs, the Secretary General of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Lamberto Zannier, leaders of European Ministries of Defence, the NATO, the European Union and the Organization of the Collective Security Treaty (CSTO), as well as European and Russian experts. In total, more than 250 delegates met in Moscow.

These expectations are far removed from the official discourse of the government continues to promise a reversal of the trend in unemployment in the next six months. Asked on RTL Thursday morning, Labour Minister Michel Sapin has once again assured that unemployment would "continue to increase during these months" before "be reversed by the end of the year." UNEDIC not say anything else … but for the year 2014! "Under the combined effects of the slight increase in GDP and the scalability of the effects of CICE, job-affiliated unemployment and slow destruction of the French economy could become creative job in the fourth quarter of 2014 , "experts say the UI. Ie more than sixteen months!

Consequence of this situation: while revenues will increase by only 1.4% in 2014, expenses related to the payment of benefits will increase by 3.1%, accounting for the widening of the deficit to $ 5.6 billion. A one-third higher than the previous record figure of 2004. Ultimate proof of the worsening situation in 2008, the debt UNEDIC was 5.4 billion euros. Six years later, it could be multiplied by five. The government, which took precisely this Thursday a mobilization meeting on employment, does not mean the intention to accelerate. "All our reforms will be successful but do not have an immediate effect," says the Prime Minister. An example? The jobs of the future, almost 20. 000 were signed in six months on a target of 100. 000 in 2013. Matignon goal continues to believe "achievable", despite its slow rise …

To be cheered was nothing new to Lassalle. Even as a philosophy student in Breslau and Berlin, he had accumulated an illustrious circle of supporters and admirers. Older were quickly fascinated, often even intimidated by his temper and quick learner. Alexander von Humboldt, the greatness of mind in the middle of Berlin 19 Century, sang hymns to the young genius. Heinrich Heine worshiped him – and feared at the same time its unrestrained selfishness and unscrupulous thirst. As a "new Mirabeau" celebrated it the poet in exile in Paris as a mental titanium and a natural force, as they had never met him.

The authorities of the United theoretical socialism those years, however, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, Lassalle did not like much. In particular, Engels had left for him almost only malicious Mokanzen. Angel was a uneitler character who never suffered from, to stand a little in Marx's shadow. Lassalle was again at vanity hard to beat. And so Angel taunted him as "dude", as "scoundrel" or "Richelieu of the proletariat". Marx had some time a little more open, fair look when he saw the strong points of Lassalle. Nevertheless, Marx, himself of Jewish origin, Lassalle disparaged as "Jüdel" or "Jewish nigger".

On reforms and their path to play the life of the government. Word of Enrico Letta. Which also contains a dead line: The day watershed on May 29, when the motions of the parliamentary majority government will define the procedure to be followed to change the second part of the Constitution and, at the same time, the government will appoint the Committee of Wise Men that will accompany reforms. The porcellum, meanwhile, is going to end up in the attic. It remains to see how. SAFEGUARD CLAUSES Yesterday morning, in the majority summit which was also attended by Prime Minister Letta before flying to Brussels, we found the agreement to be put in place, no later than July 31, those safeguards necessary to prevent the electoral law of 2005 is, in the space of a few months, which was demolished by the council. The problem between PDL and PD there 'agreement on how. The case broke with the statements of the leader of the PDL, Renato Brunetta, who just came out of the summit talks of reform minimalist ricostituzionalizzare porcellum. In essence, the PDL is a threshold, now absent, to the premium majority in the House and perhaps the Senate to do the same, turning the award from regional to national. No preferences for No redesign of the colleges or other gadgets. Half the Democratic Party, especially one that cries out for the restoration of Mattarellum (Finocchiaro and Zanda in the Senate, which have submitted a bill to that effect, but also renziani and others in the House), s'inalbera. Letta sure that the forthcoming elections will be celebrated with a completely new system and throws water on the fire. THE PORCELLINUM But the situation is not quiet. We are moving from porcellum to Porcellinum, the cry of pain that also pays the same democrat secretary Epifani. The risk, in fact, setting too high a premium for the majority that no one would take, to return to a pure proportional law of fact. The Minister for Relations with Parliament, Dario Franceschini, who was forced to point out that the merit and scope of the safeguard clauses will discuss later. The positions are distant. Franceschini then I will try to switch off the discontent of Deputies democrat saying that this sneaky safeguard'll make it, but we do not want to use it ever. The real electoral law will be the one that will arrive at the end of the process of reform. And what of the procedures for constitutional reforms outlined in the afternoon by the Minister Quagliariello gathered in front of the Constitutional Affairs Committee. And here we enter another field, that of institutional reforms. With a timetabled process much more. It starts on May 29 with the motions of parliamentary address that will give life – novelty – a Committee of forty (MPs chosen in the First Committee of the House and Senate) equipped with powers engrossing. There will be three blocks. With regard to the form of government bisogner choose between two models: the enhanced parliamentary and semipresidenzialismo French (preferred by the minister). Then there will be overcoming the perfect bicameralism, reducing the number of MPs and the reform of Title V. Another novelty, one or more confirmatory referendum regardless of the constitutional laws enacted by the majority with which they will be.

The PS candidate in the legislative elections of June in the Lot-et-Garonne, Bernard Barral, announced Wednesday his deputy, an elected left-Tagless Miscellaneous, burying is the probability of a ticket PS-EELV, fault him according to agreement after final discussions between staffs. Marie-Christine Kidger, a hospital administrative officer of 52 years and General Counsel (DVG), will be the alternate for Mr Barral for voting on 16 and 23 June, he announced to the press. He assured an AFP correspondent that "discussions were held until 6:00 p.m. this (Wednesday) evening between the PS and Europe Ecology-The Greens at the national level." "We were not able to agree with environmentalists," he said. Barral, an entrepreneur retired 66 years, said he was "optimistic" about the election because he said his campaign "begins to take returns on the ground are very good." The EELV candidate, Lionel Feuillas, for its part had filed Monday Prefecture his own candidacy, "with the support of EELV," explaining that there had been "some discussion among staffs but no more "between Socialists and Greens for a joint ticket. The hypothesis of a ticket PS-EELV, or a possible withdrawal of the environmental candidate, had been weighed especially when uncertainty still prevailed on the decision of the previous holder of the seat, the former Minister of Budget Jerome Cahuzac, stand or not independent. An Ifop poll commissioned by the PS, released Friday, showed that Barral risked elimination in the first round if nominated Mr. Cahuzac, which would collect 11% UMP and FN then arriving in head first turn. Mr. Cahuzac waived this weekend to attend, provided the N. 1 PS Lot-et-Garonne, Matthias Fekl, said that the "threat of FN is not excluded." Thirteen candidates have to date or announced their intention to be present for some already submitted applications.

But on Thursday, Francois Hollande and Harlem Désir, the boss of PS, go celebrate with Angela Merkel in Leipzig of the 150th anniversary of the German Social Democratic Party, the SPD. Again, the French president has shown a bit of discomfort and had to be justified in claiming that the SPD is "a great party. "As if, in France, the term" social democrat "involved the injury to the left. What obviously play commentators. But in reality, this looks like a vain and hollow debate. In at least two levels. First, because it seems unnecessary in theory. Then, because it makes more sense in the current situation.

On the theoretical side, first. The Socialist Party has now abandoned all reference to Marxism. In its policy statement as part of its statutes, the PS openly stated as a "Reform Party" (Article 14) who wants to change the "life and society by law and the contract. "And if he" has a historical critique of capitalism "(Article 6), he wants to advocate" a social market economy "and a" vibrant private sector. "A concept created by recall a German Christian Democrat, Ludwig Erhard, but the program is at the heart of Hamburg SPD 2007, the latest (chapters 26-29).

In addition, the PS since 1983 and the "watershed of rigor" demonstrated its ability to achieve a supply policy. His economic policy is highly "refocused" since that date. These are the PS and governments that led the liberalization of financial markets in the 1980s. Since the famous "neither nor" (or privatization or nationalization "of François Mitterrand in 1988, nationalization is no longer part of the long PS method, although sometimes some of its leaders can evoke. Jospin's government practiced partial privatization, and that of Jean-Marc Ayrault also evokes the. Note also that a "revolutionary" movement could hardly to pass the "tax credit competitive employment" plans to distribute 20 billion euros to businesses or to defend the idea of ​​spending control. Certainly, the PS has not made a "Agenda 2010" as did Gerhard Schröder. But his Conservative opponents have they done more? Actually the difference between the PS and the SPD come under the shade theoretical and practical cultural differences specific to French and German realities. Calling PS "Social Democratic Party" is unlikely to alter this.

In the Scandinavian countries, long regarded as models of social democracy, the Conservatives are liberal parties have the wind in their sails. In Denmark, the Social Democrats came to power in 2011 registering a record low and they had to combine their dissidents left. Polls are their very unfavorable. In Sweden, the Social Democrats are excluded from power since 2006 and in 2010 reached their lowest score since 1914, threatening to below 30%. Same situation in Finland, where the Social Democrats are awarded for the first time in the political history of the country below 20%. The Netherlands, Labour saw an upturn in the elections of 2012, but they are very far, less than 25% of their 1980 levels.

No example is more striking from this point of view than the SPD. Since the "focus" of Gerhard Schröder, the party lost much of its popular support. In 1998, he had collected 40.9% of the vote. In 2009, he has received only 23%. This considerable erosion partly by Schröder reforms have far to Die Linke (the Left Party of Oskar Lafontaine) or to abstention (which grew by more than 12 points over the same period) part of the electorate. But the centrist voters who could vote by Schröder weariness Helmuth Kohl in 1998 or fear of very conservative Stoiber 2002 is now seduced by the moderate Angela Merkel and much more considering turning to a party whose image aging considerably. Young center-left now greatly prefer the Greens SPD. Result: the SPD fails to take off, it is given by the Forsa poll released last Wednesday at 26% against 41% for the CDU.

Six hours of eleven met the supervisory boards of the Bundesliga clubs on the Causa Arnesen in a Hamburg hotel. At the end at midnight Board chairman Manfred Ertel did not say anything. But in the days before the meeting was leaked that the majority of the inspectors would be against continued employment Arnesen. Ertel was the driving force: he was Arnesen with his annual income of just under 1.8 million euro too expensive and his destiny to poor of transfers and in youth work.

Hopefully he really is, and not as Matthias Sammer and Urs Siegenthaler only almost. Both were once considered promising candidates for Beiersdorfer successor. Landed in Hamburg, they are not. At that time, the HSV made the laughingstock of the league, and even in these May days you will not shake the feeling that in Hamburg, the tail wags the dog. Whether we like the members of the HSV how very engaging this board into daily operations? Many of them wish to return, however, Dietmar Beiersdorfer.

There was full agreement between the government, Parliament, majority opposition. "

- "We are open to experimentation, of course if you kept what was said in the House, and that is that Stamina will put the necessary stakes because the method is not changed." This was the comment of David Vannoni, founder of Stamina that after the final approval of the decree Balduzzi open to experimentation within the framework of the law just passed, even though it says "sorry." "There will be a whole series of indications and assessments that will collect the Ministry of Health and that we propose in order to find a point of agreement in the framework of the law passed," says Vannoni Adnkronos Salute. "Overall, though, fully express my regret that the text that became law, contrary to what was voted unanimously by the Senate initially responding to the interest of the scientific community and the Italian bureaucracy and not absolutely the needs of patients, "he concludes.

Never have so many people of the Old World have flocked to so many in such a short period – a little more than a year – to deliver the "holy war" to a regime that represses its opponents in a bloody manner and that Europe itself fighting for two years. Of these 800 are Europeans a hundred French or Franco-Syrian, 50-70 Belgians, hundreds of Britons, many Germans, including Turkish, Irish, Kosovars, Danes. In short almost all European countries are concerned. Some of these fighters were killed, others were imprisoned by the regime. And a handful have already waged war on another ground jihad. "We had a meeting between European ambassadors and each country is counting the number of its nationals parties in Syria," said the EU diplomat.

But "for the first time, warns the head of the opposition, we are witnessing the departure of some foreign fighters." In recent weeks, forty Europeans and fled the Idlib region in the north, where the rebels are struggling to hunt loyalists this portion of Syrian territory. "There has been a change in the balance of forces on the ground, says the opponent. The army launched cleaning and in addition, conflicts erupted between armed groups. For all these reasons that some foreign fighters are not ideologically marked leave Syria. " Those escaping through Turkey rather than Lebanon, where the inputs and outputs to the Beirut airport are controlled by Hezbollah, an ally of Damascus.

ROME – Terror in the cathedral of Notre Dame. At 16, while the symbol of France Catholic Church there were 1. 500 people between the faithful and tourists, thundered a shot gun. Soon after, crying and shaking, Notre Dame evacuated, police sirens and the fear of the many who do not understand. A historian and essayist of the extreme right, Dominique Venner, 78 years old, took his life by shooting a pistol in his mouth behind the main altar. On the altar left five letters in which he explains his gesture, which had to advance from his blog, calling spectacular actions to combat the infamous law on gay marriage. It rains for three days of Paris, in the evening and arrive in dribs and drabs, in the Place de la Bastille, the protesters of 'Mariage pour tous'. C 'a stage, c' the music, there are banners and t-shirt, but France folded on itself and split in two by a law that has divided the country. And now also in shock for the ultimate gesture of a controversial figure, which for Marine Le Pen, the leader of the National Front, he rushed to ride, emphasizing the political significance of human conscience. Police are examining the letters found on the altar, but the last words posted by Venner – that magazine director and polemicist very popular in European traditionalist circles – do not seem to leave no room for doubt. He writes so the next event on May 26, that the extreme protest against the law passed Saturday by President Francois Hollande and Venner defines infamous: Protesters have reason to scream their impatience and anger, but not organize baster kind demonstrations to prevent this law, we will not need new gestures, spectacular and symbolic shake the conscience anesthetized. He was a student of the army, in the history of knights and samurai: You have to be in s until the last moment – he wrote shortly before taking action extreme – deciding on their own, really wanting their own destiny that you become winners against nothing. And there are no loopholes. He was an admirer of Japanese writer Yukio Mishima, who committed suicide: His gesture – Venner had said recently – was a protest against the unworthiness in which he had sunk his country. Under the shock 1. 500 tourists evacuated, without words, the rector of Notre Dame, Monsignor Patrick Jacquin: It was not one of our faithful regulars. the act of a desperate man, Manuel Valls, Interior Minister, immediately rushed to the cathedral that stands on the Ile Saint-Louis, an island on the Seine in the heart of Paris. A Radio Courtoisie, issuing near the far right, a listener has Venner bed tonight a letter that he would leave his friends before committing suicide: I feel a duty to act finch I still have the strength. I must sacrifice myself to break the lethargy that surrounds us. Turn to a highly symbolic place, which I respect and admire. My gesture embodies an ethic of will. I d death to awaken sleeping consciences.
