The Chernobyl disaster occurred on 26 April 1986at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant near the city of Prypiat in Ukraine, then part of the Soviet Union, and close to the administrative border with Belarus. A sudden power output surge prompted an attempt at emergency shutdown; but a more extreme spike in power output led to the rupture of a reactor vessel and a series of explosions. The graphite moderator was exposed, causing it to ignite, and the resulting fire sent a plume of highly radioactive fallout over large parts of the western Soviet Union and Europe. From 1986 to 2000, 350 400 people were evacuated and resettled from the most contaminated areas of Belarus, Russia and Ukraine. According to official post-Soviet data, about 57 % of the fallout landed in Belarus [1]. Chernobyl is widely considered to have been the worst nuclear accident in history and one of only two classified as a level 7 event on the International Nuclear Event Scale, the other being the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear meltdown in 2011 (see [2]Fukushima Nuclear Crisis, SiS 50).

The strategy was simple, clear, tried and tested. It had been used successfully not only against Libya, but also Kosovo (in 1999), and was rapidly underway in Syria. It was to run as follows: train proxies to launch armed provocations; label the state’s response to these provocations as genocide; intimidate the UN Security Council into agreeing that “something must be done”; incinerate the army and any other resistance with fragmentation bombs and Hellfire missiles; and finally install a weak, compliant government to sign off new contracts and alliances drawn up in London, Paris and Washington, whilst the country tore itself apart.

Lorsque l’on constatent les agressions verbales voire diplomatiques incessantes auxquelles se livre le Premier ministre conservateur David Cameron contre l’euro, la France et même son nouveau président, on serait tenté de lui demander ce qu’il fait en Europe, alors qu’il serait si bien dans le rôle si fécond de caniche des Etats-Unis.

French and Greek elections have revived the discussions about political instability in the Eurozone and its consequences for the Eurozone economy. In the last year, change of governments in France, Netherlands, Slovakia, Italy, Greece, Slovenia, Belgium, Portugal and Spain, through elections or internal political crises, and the upsurge of extremist parties risk to exacerbate an already fragile economic and financial situation. We are likely to see more government changes, especially if the political block against austerity measures is gaining political support across the Eurozone. The institutional set-up is such that the political decisions at the European level will be determined by a few key players while citizens will cast their protest votes at the national level. This mismatch will heighten the tensions and makes a call for a renewal of the institutional set-up in Europe inevitable.

El México neoliberal panista causó un enorme daño al haberse clavado insensatamente, sin brújula geoestratégica, a la unipolaridad y, peor aún, a la estadunización de su claudicante política exterior (ver Bajo la Lupa, 18/1/12).
