Last weekend, representatives of the Pirate parties from 20 countries of the EU met in Prague to discuss their European networking. In line with the Pirates movement, everywhere in Europe, anger about social, economic and political conditions can be seen, showing that people are trying to find new political ways of expression.

Depuis plusieurs semaines maintenant, les Français sont en campagne ! D’un côté, le camp Sarkozy et tous ses puissants relais et soutiens (instituts de sondage, médias, CAC 40) ; de l’autre, 70% des Français, certes répartis autour de différents candidats (de Mélenchon à Le Pen en passant par Hollande, etc…) ou même sans candidat (comme un tiers environ des sympathisants de l’UMP eux-mêmes), mais tous d’accord sur un point : éliminer Sarkozy de la présidence du pays. La campagne présidentielle française s’apparente en fait plus à une révolution populaire, à un « front », contre une clique de privilégiés ayant pris le contrôle du pays, qu’à une élection classique… Et les logiques droite-gauche n’ont plus rien à voir là-dedans.

Just as LEAP/E2020 has been anticipating since November 2010 (GEAB N°49), the Socialist candidate (1), in this case François Hollande, will win the 2012 French presidential election (2). There is still the question relating to the first round of this election: will Nicolas Sarkozy, the outgoing president, come out ahead or behind Marine Le Pen (it was also part of our November 2010 anticipation) (3)? Therefore, it’s time to anticipate the consequences of this election for France, Euroland and the EU as well as at world level (NATO, G20, Euro-BRICS) because de facto it’s much more important for the current world’s progress, in full transition because of the world crisis, than the next American election which will see Barack Obama and Mitt Romney clash head-to-head (two candidates financed massively by Wall Street) against a backdrop of the US political system’s general paralysis (4).

Franck Biancheri
30th September, 2007
The Europeans officials take as a starting point to the current negociation process about Kosovo the proposal elaborated by Franck Biancheri, president de Newropeans at the end of 2006. We republish on this occasion his article of March 27, 2007 “The Balkan road towards the EU starts with the determination of 2 areas, Serb and Albanian”.

In its January 2012 issue, LEAP/E2020 signalled the current year as that of the world geopolitical swing. The first quarter 2012 has, to a large extent, started to establish that an era was in fact coming to an end with, in particular, the Russian and Chinese decisions to block any Western attempt at interference in Syria (1); their stated desire, associated with India (2) especially, to ignore or circumvent the oil embargo fixed by the United States and the EU (3) against Iran; the increasing tensions in relations between the United States and Israel (4); the acceleration of the policy of diversification out of the US Dollar led by China (5) and the BRICS (but also by Japan and Euroland (6)); the premise of change in Euroland’s political strategy at the time of the French electoral campaign (7); and the intensification of actions and statements fuelling the rising strength of trans-bloc commercial wars (8). In March 2012, we are far from March 2011 and the “hustling” of the UN by the USA/UK/France trio to attack Libya. March 2011 was still the unipolar world of after 1989. March 2012 is already the post-crisis multipolar world hesitating between confrontations and partnerships.

Iceland will either adopt the euro after joining the European Union or drop the krona and unilaterally adopt another currency as “the situation can’t remain unchanged,” said Prime Minister Johanna Sigurdardottir.

There has been a lot of talk about Greece and how the euro is going to collapse. To debunk this myth, I want to give some statistics. This article is a thesis on why it’s better to own the euro than the US dollar in my perspective. Shorting the dollar (UDN) could be considered. The only reason why the USD is so strong is because it’s the reserve currency of the world.

This winter has been cold and ugly. You could say it was a Greek ‘Winter of Discontent’, minus Margaret Thatcher.
Greek people have tested themselves against killer fiscal statistics, household economic pressure, irrational arguments and dead-end nationalist heroisms. Within this mess, obnoxious politicians were engaged in ridiculous manoeuvring, failing to understand that they were stoking a runaway train that was heading towards a fallen bridge; the one that used to connect them to their constituencies.
