Сега нещата са по-различни. Последните социологически проучвания показват, че състезание ще има. Трима са основните кандидати – Румен Радев, който има голяма преднина, но след него са проф. Анастас Герджиков и Лозан Панов, които също имат своите шансове. Кампанията ще реши дали ще стигнем до втори тур. Веднъж стигне ли се до него, нещата стават трудно прогнозируеми“. Това каза в интервю за БГНЕС политологът Даниел Смилов.</p></div></div></div><div class="body_matrix__item body_matrix__type_image_wide" style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(33, 37, 41); color: #212529; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 25px;"><div class="body_matrix__section body_matrix__image_wide" style="box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; margin-left: 150px; margin-top: 25px;"><div class="body_matrix__image" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><img class="body_matrix__img" height="238" src="https://bgnes.bg/site/assets/files/0/05/67/451/20211014142922_img_3530-01.840x500-pim2-b51b5ea9.jpeg" style="border-style: none; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; height: auto; vertical-align: middle; width: 580px;" width="400" /><div class="body_matrix__image_description" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #9c9c9c; font-size: 0.75rem; line-height: 1.25rem; margin: 15px 0px 25px; text-align: right;"></div></div></div></div><div class="body_matrix__item body_matrix__type_body" style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(33, 37, 41); color: #212529; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 25px;"><div class="body_matrix__body" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><div class="body_matrix__body__inner" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #042a3f; font-size: 0.9375rem; line-height: 1.625rem;"><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 0.90625rem; line-height: 1.4375rem; margin: 0px 0px 18px 150px;">„Сложна е ситуацията, има два избора. Някои партии имат свой кандидат за президент, други нямат, а всичко това има влияние. Не означава обаче, че това ще обърка избирателите. Все пак може да очаква, че партиите, които имат силни кандидати за президент, могат да очакват и някакъв електорален бонус“, коментира той за изборите „2в1“, които предстоят на 14 ноември.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 0.90625rem; line-height: 1.4375rem; margin: 0px 0px 18px 150px;">За решението на ДПС да издигнат партиен кандидат за първи път в 30-годишната си история – лидерът Мустафа Карадайъ, политологът заяви: „ДПС са партия на хора с различен етнос. От една страна регионална партия, а друг – представител на българските турци. През годините те последователно преследват тази позиция. Тук играят много позитивна роля в българската политика като цяло, защитават правата на малцинствата. Ходът с издигане на етнически турчин е ход в тази посока. Имат и други такива ходове в тази посока, например въпроса за водене на кампания на майчин език. Като европейска държава това все някога трябва да го позволим. Към този момент обаче, поради различни настроения, това не става. Водейки политика по такъв тип защита на правата, според мен играят позитивна роля в политическия процес. От друга страна ДПС се капсулира като партия на икономическо представителство около Делян Пеевски, но не само. Самият Ахмед Доган от лидер се превърна във фигура, която колкото е политическа, толкова е и корпоративна. Той колкото е политик, толкова е и бизнесмен, собственик на електроцентрала“.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 0.90625rem; line-height: 1.4375rem; margin: 0px 0px 18px 150px;">С решенията си да сложат попадналия по ударите на закона „Магнитски“ Делян Пеевски като водач на две листи, според Смилов, ДПС все повече се превръща в партия, защитаваща конкретни икономически интереси. „Сдвояването с фигурата на Пеевски обрича ДПС на изолация и в следващия парламент“, прогнозира той.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 0.90625rem; line-height: 1.4375rem; margin: 0px 0px 18px 150px;">Даниел Смилов посочи още, че въпреки все по-набиращата популярност нова политическа формация на бившите министри Петков-Василев, не бива „извън сметката“ да се оставя формацията на популярния телевизионен водещ Слави Трифонов – „Има такъв народ“.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 0.90625rem; line-height: 1.4375rem; margin: 0px 0px 18px 150px;">„Виждам, че някои социолози дават нисък резултат, около 10%, а други около 15%, но аз мисля, че той има своя електорат. Очаквам обаче този електорат леко да се смени. Той ще загуби голяма част от центристкия си избирател, но има възможност да обере по-радикално настроени избиратели. В този смисъл за партията има потенциал. Трифонов и формацията не са особено активни, което им губи гласове. Поведението им в предходния парламент го смятам за стратегическа грешка, защото с 65 депутата решиха, че могат сами да управляват и да съставят правителство на малцинството, каквото и да става това. Де факто те отвориха врата за подкрепа от всички – ГЕРБ, БСП, ДПС, а накрая не получиха подкрепа от никого. Отливът на гласове от „Има такъв народ“, който е видим, както и да го мерим, е в резултат на тази грешка. Предполагам, че те ще компенсират част от нея, но няма да са във водещата позиция, в която бяха на предходните избори“, коментира Смилов.</p></div></div></div><p>Видео първа част:</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Doch beim Streit um das künftige EU-Budget und den Corona-Rettungsfonds greift die Regierung in Budapest auch die Union an. Sie will unbedingt verhindern, dass die Auszahlung von EU-Geldern an die Einhaltung rechtsstaatlicher Kriterien geknüpft werden. Auf welche Methoden sie dabei setzt, erklärt Gabor Polyai, Medienwissenschaftler an der Universität Pécs.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Deutschland: Die rechten Corona-Kritiker<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Deutschland reagiert auf die Corona-Krise und die zweite Infektionswelle mit einem der leichtesten Lockdowns in Europa – und mit großzügigen Staatshilfen. Trotzdem sind gerade in Deutschland die Proteste besonders schrill und aggressiv. Tonangebend ist dabei eine Gruppierung, die sich „Querdenker“ nennt, die im süddeutschen Bundesland Baden-Württemberg gegründet wurde und bei ihren Protesten auch gewaltbereite Rechtsextreme in ihren Reihen duldet. In jüngster Zeit ist auch zu beobachten, dass sich die rechte AfD dieser Protestgruppe andient. Birgit Schwarz berichtet über die Hintergründe und die Motive einer kleinen, aber sehr lauten Minderheit, die auf der Straße und in den sozialen Medien dem Staat und seinen VerteterInnen den Kampf ansagt.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Niederlande: Sterbehilfe auch für Kinder<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Es ist eine schreckliche Vorstellung für alle Eltern: das eigene Kind ist sterbenskrank, eine Heilung ist nicht mehr möglich, das Kind hat Schmerzen. Das Leiden Minderjähriger soll beendet werden dürfen – das finden nun die Niederlande. Sie wollen legalisieren, was im Nachbarland Belgien seit 2014 erlaubt ist: Todkranke Kinder jeden Alters sollen sich für aktive Sterbehilfe entscheiden dürfen, berichtet Veronika Fillitz.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Balkan: Der Streit über die gemeinsame Geschichte trennt Bulgarien und Nordmazedonien und blockiert die EU-Erweiterung<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Eigentlich hätten in diesem Herbst der Beginn der EU-Beitrittsverhandlungen mit Nordmazedonien und Albanien beschlossen werden. Der langjährige Namensstreit zwischen Mazedonien und Griechenland hat das lange blockiert, und jetzt erhebt Bulgarien ähnliche Einwände. Solange sich Bulgarien und Mazedonien nicht auf eine einheitliche Interpretation der gemeinsamen Geschichte einigen, will die Regierung in Sofia den Beitrittsverhandlungen nicht zustimmen. Warum Bulgarien diese harte Haltung einnimmt berichtet Diljana Lambreva.</p></div>danismilovhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15415958077134181693noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516816463526604191.post-34286599240197868912020-11-27T22:43:00.004-08:002020-11-27T22:43:56.830-08:00My text for Carnegie Europe<h1 class="roman-normal-bold" style="border: none; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; font-family: "Frutiger Neue LT W06 Bold", "Arial Black", Gadget, sans-serif; font-size: 3rem; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.15em; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://carnegieeurope.eu/strategiceurope/83324">Judy Asks: Can the EU Solve the Budget and Rule-of-Law Crisis?</a></h1><h4 class="author" style="border: none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #635a4f; font-family: "Frutiger Neue LT W06 Bold", "Arial Black", Gadget, sans-serif; font-size: 23.799999237060547px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.15em; margin: 0px 0px 7.5px; padding: 1em 0px 0.5em; text-transform: uppercase;"><img alt="Germany Needs to End Hungary and Poland’s Blackmail" class="center-block gutter-half-bottom" height="217" src="https://images.carnegieendowment.org/images/article_images/Merkel_Orban_Germany_Hungary_2020_1000_1.jpg" width="400" /></h4><h4 class="author" style="border: none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #635a4f; font-family: "Frutiger Neue LT W06 Bold", "Arial Black", Gadget, sans-serif; font-size: 23.799999237060547px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.15em; margin: 0px 0px 7.5px; padding: 1em 0px 0.5em; text-transform: uppercase;">DANIEL SMILOV<span class="title" style="border-left-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); border-left-width: 1px; border-style: none none none solid; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-size: 0.8em; margin: 0px 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px;">ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR AT THE UNIVERSITY OF SOFIA AND PROGRAMME DIRECTOR AT THE CENTRE FOR LIBERAL STRATEGIES</span></h4><p class="selectionShareable" style="border: none; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: GaramondPremierW08-Capt, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 23.799999237060547px; line-height: 1.7em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">The EU’s budget crisis caused by the Hungarian and Polish veto is an opportunity for the union.</p><p class="selectionShareable" style="border: none; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: GaramondPremierW08-Capt, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 23.799999237060547px; line-height: 1.7em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">If the other twenty-five member states stick together and make a credible effort to pass the recovery aid package through enhanced cooperation, the EU will achieve two goals.</p><p class="selectionShareable" style="border: none; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: GaramondPremierW08-Capt, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 23.799999237060547px; line-height: 1.7em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">First, it will show to opportunistic national populists that there will be no compromise on values such as the rule of law and the rights of minorities.

Каквото и да се случи оттук нататък, тези факти не могат да се променят. Европа ги прие с неприкрита радост и облекчение - лидерите на ЕС вече поздравиха бъдещия президент с избирането му. Това е напълно разбираемо. Байдън многократно е заявявал, че ще си сътрудничи с традиционните партньори от либерално-демократичния свят и няма, за разлика от предшественика си Тръмп, да заплашва ЕС и НАТО с разграждане.</p><p style="caret-color: rgb(62, 62, 62); color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px;">Въпреки тези позитиви за европейците, особено в Източна Европа мнозина изпаднаха в мирова скръб от развитието на изборите в САЩ. Това се случи и в България, където се оказа, че тръмпизмът е пуснал корени. Унинието на различните "Тръмп обащества" си е редно и нормално - те са на път да изгубят и патрон, а и кауза, и са оправдани да скърбят по този повод. Но по-интересни са не тези маргинални организации, а представителите на по-големи групи политици и граждани, които очевидно са успели да се очароват поне от някои елементи на тръмпизма.</p><div class="col1" style="caret-color: rgb(62, 62, 62);

Това ядро от идеологически мотивирани избиратели ходи най-активно на митингите на Тръмп, носи червени MAGA шапки, вее знамена и т.н. Само по себе си това ядро никога не би могло да спечели изборите в САЩ, но то има силен емоционален заряд, разделя обществото и поляризира дебатите.</p><p style="caret-color: rgb(62, 62, 62); color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px;">У нас към това ядро на тръмпизма принадлежат безспорно "патриотите", които нито имат голяма лоялност към конституционната (либерална) демокрация, нито са защитници на светската държава. Както едно от по-малките копия (или оригинал?) на Тръмп - Виктор Орбан - се стреми да направи, и те биха се възторгнали от изграждането на една нелиберална демокрация: полу-теократична държава, организирана на базата на религия и автокрация.</p><p style="caret-color: rgb(62, 62, 62); color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px;">Ядрото на тръмпизма в този смисъл е антисистемно: то цели дълбоки промени на установения конституционен ред както във вътрешната, така и във външната политика. У дома ядрото би искало ограничаване на правата на малцинства от най-различен вид (и особено хомосексуалните и ромите), въвеждане на де факто държавна религия, затрудняване на дейността на НПО-та и т.н. Като цяло те са привърженици и на концентрацията на властта в една персона-лидер. </p><p style="caret-color: rgb(62, 62, 62); color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px;">Идеологическото ядро на тръмпизма в България обаче се разпростира и извън "патриотите". Части от ГЕРБ (депутати, "десни" центрове и др.) се опитват да насочат цялата партия в подобна тръмпистка посока. И донякъде успяват, както показва настоящата позицията на България по отношение на Северна Македония. Слабостта на Борисов в момента (и желанието му да се задържи на власт на всяка цена) дава допълнителни възможности партията му да бъде успешно "тръмпизирана", което ще е комично с оглед упадъка на тръмпизма в собствената му родина.</p><p style="caret-color: rgb(62, 62, 62); color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px;">По-куриозното е, обаче, че Корнелия Нинова от БСП, която има определена фиксация върху харизмата на Виктор Орбан, също иска да се присламчи към политическото ядро на тръмпизма. Този факт остава една от загадките на родната политика. Той е една от причините БСП да ограничава влиянието си до предимно силно консервативни райони с малки населени места.</p><p style="caret-color: rgb(62, 62, 62); color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 25px;">Стратегически гласуващата периферия</span></p><p style="caret-color: rgb(62, 62, 62); color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px;">Успехът на тръмпизма зависи от способността му да привлича не само идеологическите гласоподаватели на ядрото, но и по-широка периферия, в която има хора с по-прагматична нагласа и центристки възгледи. Тези избиратели може и да не се възторгват от консервативния катехизис, но използват емоционалния заряд и антисистемните послания на Тръмп, за да постигнат свои цели. Всъщност, те ползват радикализма на ядрото като плашило, за да стреснат политическите си опоненти и да могат да извлекат опортюнистични предимства за себе си в силно картелизирана политическа среда.</p><p style="caret-color: rgb(62, 62, 62); color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px;">Основното, което тръмпизмът предлага на средния избирател, са ниските данъци. Тръмпизмът не е социал-демокрация, която чрез данъци разпределя в полза на най-уязвимите групи на обществото. Тръмпизмът е обещание към средния избирател, че неговото финансово бреме няма да расте и по-уязвимите групи (бедни, малцинства) няма да получат допълнителни средства или подпомагане. Когато е необходимо увеличаване на публичните разходи, в държавата на тръмпизма това се постига с нови държавни заеми, а не с нови и по-големи данъци. Затова и държавният дълг и бюджетен дефицит на САЩ са на рекордни нива, но същевременно тръмпистите се опитват да отнемат здравните застраховки на най-бедните и уязвими групи.</p><p style="caret-color: rgb(62, 62, 62); color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px;">Този тип социален егоизъм на средната класа е привлекателен за мнозина и в САЩ, и в България. Стратегичеки тръмписти в този смисъл са либертарианците и някои десни, за които данъците са единственият важен фактор в политиката. За тях радикализмът е спасение, защото чрез него става възможно "сплашването" на малцинствата и ограничаването на техните претенции. Тръмпизмът също така представя средния избирател като виктимизирана група, което по принцип изключва задължението му да бъде солидарен спрямо останалите.</p><p style="caret-color: rgb(62, 62, 62); color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px;">В България такива стратегически тръмписти има доста: от различните либертарианци, до представителите на марксоидната десница, за която икономическият класов интерес е основата на политиката. Тази тръмпистка периферия не би отишла при Корнелия Нинова, колкото и радикално-консервативна БСП да става обаче - нещо, което лидерът на социалистите не отчита.</p><p style="caret-color: rgb(62, 62, 62); color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 25px;">Поляризация и партизанщина</span></p><p style="caret-color: rgb(62, 62, 62); color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px;">За да действат като политически таран и плашило за опонентите, тръмпистите използват тактика на поляризиращото говорене и преследване на партийни интереси на всяка цена. Обиден език, персонални нападки, използване на държавни инструменти за партийна разправа - всичко това са "легитимни" средства за тръмпизма. Най-вероятно Доналд Тръмп ще си отиде от Белия дом след грозни сцени на политизиране на съдилищата, за да "докаже" имагинерни масови избирателни измами. Но и целият му мандат ще остане в историята като управление на агресивността, което не е склонно на никакъв компромис спрямо опозицията.</p><p style="caret-color: rgb(62, 62, 62); color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px;">Този начин на упражняване на власт има много и големи поклонници у нас. Те са основно в кафявия медиен сектор, прокуратурата и техните политически поддръжници. За тях между правова държава и партизанска държава няма особена разлика - това е и причината България редовно да бъде критикувана за нарушаване на принципите на върховенство на правото в ЕС.</p><p style="caret-color: rgb(62, 62, 62); color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 25px;">Целта оправдава средствата</span></p><p style="caret-color: rgb(62, 62, 62); color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px;">Мнозина привърженици на Тръмп признават, че от личностно морална гледна точка той има сериозни дефекти, но те гласуват заради "неговите политики". Тръмпизмът в този смисъл е затваряне на очите за моралния интегритет на политика, стига той да е в състояние да реализира определени цели. Бойко Борисов и много негови поклонници са заклети тръмписти от тази гледна точка.</p><p style="caret-color: rgb(62, 62, 62); color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 25px;">Тръмпизмът, русофилството и соц носталгията</span></p><p style="caret-color: rgb(62, 62, 62); color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px;">Една от родните странности на политиката е, че русофилите и соц носталгиците в голямата си част харесват Тръмп и страдат заради неуспехите му. Парадоксът обаче е само привиден. Поклонниците на Владимир Путин виждат сродна душа в лицето на Доналд Тръмп. Но още по-важно е, че те се надяват политиката на Америка на оттегляне от международната арена да остави поле за връщането на Русия на Балканите (и на световната сцена като цяло). Тяхното сърце се стопля при мисълта за разпад на ЕС и НАТО, а Тръмп им дава надежда в тази посока.</p><p style="caret-color: rgb(62, 62, 62); color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px;">Соц носталгиците и бивши агенти на ДС, които също с голям ентусиазъм приветстваха тръмпизма, просто се надяват на реабилитация на своите идеи. Ето, сигурно си мислят те, самата Америка използва някои от нашите методи на безогледна пропаганда и очерняне на опонента. В лицето на Тръмп те виждат и упадък на САЩ като световен лидер, както и възможност за (въз)раждането на един свят, в който силата е единственото, което има значение. В този свят Путин, Ким Чен Ун, Лукашенко, Ердоган и т.н. ще са нормата, а не изключението. И Европа ще трябва да се самоотрече, като започне да им подражава. </p><p style="caret-color: rgb(62, 62, 62); color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px;">***</p><p style="caret-color: rgb(62, 62, 62); color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px;">Едва ли е изненада, че толкова черти на тръмпизма са оставили неизличимо клеймо върху българската политика. В крайна сметка Тръмп стъпи на раменете на гиганти като Берлускони, Льо Пен, Фарадж, Орбан, Вилдерс, а и на множество родни полу-гиганти. Съвременният популизъм, започнал шествието си още през 90-те години на миналия век, няма да изчезне със загубата на Тръмп в САЩ. Няма да изчезне и в България. Но ще свие платна и няма да надува непрекъснато корабната си сирена.</p>danismilovhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15415958077134181693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516816463526604191.post-55531909593990234762020-11-11T12:44:00.004-08:002020-11-11T12:46:52.612-08:00Citation in Süddeutsche Zeitung<p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Daniel Smilow vom Center for Liberal Strategies, einem Thinktank in Sofia, stellt fest, seit Jahrzehnten schon gelte Bulgarien als "gefangener Staat", in dem die Politik den privaten Interessen Einzelner diene.

Jetzt wollen die Protestierenden gezielter gegen die bulgarische Regierung vorgehen. Ihre Forderung aber ist dieselbe geblieben: "Ostawka", Rücktritt!<br /><br />Von <a href="https://www.sueddeutsche.de/autoren/cathrin-kahlweit-1.1143112">Cathrin Kahlweit</a>, Sofia<br /><br /><br />Iwan Sawow war von Anfang an dabei gewesen. Der 55-jährige Ingenieur ist stolz darauf, dass er fast jedes Mal, 90 Abende lang, mitmarschiert ist vom Präsidentenpalast in Sofia, wo die Demonstrationen starteten, vorbei am Parlament und bis zur Adlerbrücke, wo der Marsch nach einer halben Stunde endete. Die Straße war regelmäßig abgesperrt, gelangweilte Polizisten standen Spalier, Flaggen wehten im Wind, ab und zu hielt einer der Protestierenden eine kurze Ansprache; die meisten hier kannten sich mittlerweile vom Sehen. In kurzen Abständen brüllte jemand "Ostawka", Rücktritt.<br /><br />Eine Art Demonstrationsroutine hatte zuletzt Einzug zuletzt gehalten nach der großen Euphorie des Sommers: Anfangs, im Juli, war Sawow noch einer von Zehntausenden gewesen, die in zahlreichen Städten des Landes für eine andere Politik, ein anderes Bulgarien auf die Straße gingen, gegen Korruption, gegen übermächtige Oligarchen, gegen eine Mafia, die, wie die Demonstranten beklagen, Politik und Wirtschaft im Würgegriff halte: "Mutri van", riefen sie, "Verbrecher, verschwindet!" Am vergangenen Wochenende wurden die weitgehend friedlichen Dauerproteste nach 116 Tagen und 116 Märschen eingestellt. Die Zeit sei gekommen, sagten die Organisatoren, den Kurs zu ändern und gezielter gegen die Regierung vorzugehen. Marschieren allein reiche nicht mehr.<br /><br />Iwan Sawow, der Ingenieur, hat eine Weile in Hamburg gearbeitet. Die Auftraggeber zahlten den Bulgaren ihre Löhne nicht, die IG Bau schaltete sich ein, half den Vertragsarbeitern, klagte. Schließlich bekamen die Männer einen Teil ihres Lohns. Seither ist Sawow ein Fan von Recht und Gesetz. Recht und Gesetz, sagt er, seien in Bulgarien Fremdworte. Unter anderem deshalb hat das Europäische Parlament Bulgarien in einer scharfen Erklärung jüngst massiv kritisiert, und eben deshalb knöpft sich der Rechtsstaatsbericht der EU unter anderem die Justiz vor: fehlende Korruptionsbekämpfung, schwächelnde Gewaltenteilung, massive Interessenkonflikte, lauten die Vorwürfe. Die Demonstranten forderten daher nicht nur den Rücktritt der Regierung und eine grundlegende Justizreform, sondern auch den Rücktritt von Generalstaatsanwalt Iwan Geschew, der mit seinem Durchgriffsrecht Ermittlungen stoppen, korrupte Oligarchen und Politiker schützen kann - und dies auch regelmäßig tut.<br /><br />Ein "gefangener Staat", wo die Politik Privatinteressen dient. "Aber die Bürger fangen an, die Strukturen zu verstehen, die unsere Demokratie aushöhlen."<br /><br />Transparency International führt Bulgarien als das "korrupteste Land in der EU". Das sieht man auch im Land selbst so: Die Zeitung Kapitaltitelte jüngst unter einem Bild von gesichtslosen Schattenmännern auf dem Cover, Bulgarien sei das "Land der Diebe" - nicht mehr so gewalttätig und schmutzig wie nach der Wende, in den 1990er-Jahren, als zwei große Mafia-Kartelle mit brutaler Gewalt und zahlreichen Toten um die Macht im Land rangen, sondern polierter, sauberer nach außen, aber eben "immer noch kein normales Land". Daniel Smilow vom Center for Liberal Strategies, einem Thinktank in Sofia, stellt fest, seit Jahrzehnten schon gelte Bulgarien als "gefangener Staat", in dem die Politik den privaten Interessen Einzelner diene. Aber immerhin: Die Proteste hätten "etwas in Bewegung gesetzt. Die Bürger fangen an, die Strukturen zu verstehen, die unsere Demokratie aushöhlen."<br /><br />Ausgelöst hatte die immerhin fast vier Monate währenden Proteste, die im Schatten der Revolution von Belarus international anfangs etwas untergingen, eine Aktion des ehemaligen Justizministers und Chefs der jungen Partei "Da, Bulgaria", Hristo Iwanow. Er hatte seinen vergeblichen Versuch auf Facebook live übertragen, auf einem öffentlichen Strand am Schwarzen Meer neben der illegal errichteten Villa eines einflussreichen Strippenziehers, des Ehrenvorsitzenden der Partei der türkischen Minderheit, Ahmed Dogan, eine Staatsflagge aufzustellen - als Symbol dafür, dass das Land allen Bürgern gehört.<br /><br />Der SZ sagte Iwanow, das Anwesen sei ein Symbol für das System der Korruption. "Wenn die Strafverfolger die Augen verschließen, wenn die Kommune die Interessen von Leuten wie Dogan schützt, wenn der Nationale Sicherheitsdienst ihn persönlich dort bewacht, als wären es seine privaten Bodyguards, dann zeigt das den unermesslichen Einfluss solcher Leute. Korruption blockiert die Arbeit von demokratischen Institutionen und wandelt diese Institutionen in Dienstleister für die Mächtigen um."<br /><br />Es gibt Fotos, die den Premier im Bett zeigen sollen. Neben ihm: Geld, Gold und eine Pistole<br /><br />Iwanows spektakuläre Aktion machte für viele seiner Landsleute sichtbar, wie sehr in ihrem Land einige Reiche und Mächtige über dem Gesetz stehen. Sie war aber nur einer der Gründe dafür, dass die Stimmung so umschlug. Kurz zuvor waren heimliche Aufnahmen von Telefonaten des Premiers, Bojko Borissow, mit Vertrauten bekannt geworden, in denen er sich mit üblen Schimpfwörtern über europäische Politiker lustig machte, und in denen Gefälligkeiten abgesprochen, Drohungen ausgesprochen wurden. Borissow sagt, die Aufnahmen seien gefälscht. Auf Fotos war er im Schlaf zu sehen, neben seinem Bett Geld, Goldbarren, eine Pistole. Als dann auch noch der Machtkampf zwischen dem Premier und dem regierungskritischen Präsidenten Rumen Radew eskalierte und dessen Residenz von der Polizei durchsucht wurde, nachdem er sich mit den Protesten solidarisiert hatte, hatten die Bulgaren genug.<br /><br />Aber Borissow, der mit einer kurzen Pause seit 2009 im Amt ist, spielt auf Zeit. Er kündigte eine Verfassungsreform an, zeigt sich nur noch fern der Hauptstadt, verspricht Minderheiten und den Armen mehr Geld. Einige Minister wurden zum Rücktritt gedrängt. Im Frühjahr stehen Wahlen an, bis dahin will er auf jeden Fall durchhalten. Was danach kommt, darüber sind die Ansichten in Sofia geteilt: Neue politische Gruppierungen sind entstanden, die sich Hoffnungen auf einen Einzug ins Parlament machen, darunter die Partei eines populären TV-Moderators, die bereits bei fünfzehn Prozent steht - und mit "niemandem koalieren will, der Teil der Mafia ist". Zu dieser Mafia gehören in seinen Augen die konservative Regierungspartei Gerb von Premier Borissow ebenso wie die Sozialisten, die in ihrer Regierungszeit in zahlreiche Korruptionsskandale verwickelt waren. Und, allen voran, gehört dazu die Partei der türkischen Minderheit DPS mit ihrem Ehrenvorsitzenden Ahmed Dogan und einem der mächtigsten - und unsichtbarsten - Abgeordneten des Landes, Deljan Peewski.<br />Experten zweifeln nicht, dass der Regierungschef früher sein Geld im Umfeld der Mafia verdient haben soll<br /><br />Den Namen von Multimillionär Peewski, der sich regelmäßig ins nationale Parlament wählen lässt, wo er dann aber nie auftaucht, kennt in Bulgarien jedes Kind. Neben Strippenzieher Ahmed Dogan gilt er als einflussreichster und skrupellosester Oligarch des Landes. Seiner Mutter und ihm gehören fast die Hälfte der Medien des Landes und 80 Prozent des Vertriebs, seine Biografie liest sich wie das Skript von Mario Puzos "Paten". Hristo Iwanow sagt über ihn, für Peewski sei das Verb "jemandem Angst machen" erfunden worden.<br /><br /><br />Für Experten gibt es keinen Zweifel, dass Regierungschef Borissow, der in den 1990er-Jahren im Umfeld der Mafia sein Geld verdient haben soll, hervorragende Verbindungen zu Dogan und Peewski hat. Louisa Slawkowa von der Nichtregierungsorganisation Sofia Platform beschreibt Bulgarien unter Borissow so: "Der Mangel an Rechtsstaatlichkeit in der Gesellschaft stellt die Erfolge der Transitionszeit infrage."<br /><br />Wer bei Parteien, Stiftungen, Aktivisten nachfragt, hört trotzdem überraschend optimistische Prognosen: Der Druck auf die Mächtigen wachse. Vessela Tschernewa vom European Council on Foreign Relations ist sich sicher, "dass die EU mittlerweile genauer hinschaut. Borissows Partei Gerb wird kritisch wahrgenommen in Brüssel, auch wenn er sich bemüht, keine Probleme zu machen wie Orbán oder Kaczyński, damit man ihn in Ruhe lässt." Der Aufstand im Land wird, da ist sich auch Dauerprotestierer Iwan Sawow sicher, nicht folgenlos bleiben. "Ich bin wochenlang gegen diese Regierung marschiert, weil ich das meinem Land schuldig bin. Nicht nur ich, auch die schweigende Mehrheit will einen Wandel."danismilovhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15415958077134181693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516816463526604191.post-84346183547732191612020-11-05T11:05:00.003-08:002020-11-05T11:05:29.587-08:00Северномакедонски кошмари (DW)<p> <img alt="Nord-Mazedonien Bojko Borissow, Ministerpräsident Bulgarien & Zoran Zaev, Ministerpräsident" height="225" itemprop="image" src="https://static.dw.com/image/49843163_403.jpg" title="Nord-Mazedonien Bojko Borissow, Ministerpräsident Bulgarien & Zoran Zaev, Ministerpräsident" width="400" /></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 17px;"><i><b>Турците искат да признаем тюркската си история, иранците държат на персийския ни произход, гърците ни удрят в гръб, във Варна акостират руснаците.

Високопоставеният български политик някак се озова на летище “Враждебна”, където беше кацнала смесена делегация от Турция, Азербайджан и Туркменистан. Още от стълбичката на самолета дипломатите на трите държави заразмахваха някакъв проектодоговор. В него пишеше, че в периода 681-860 г. българите са имали обща с тях тюркска история. И че българската народност след това била изкуствено създадена от християнския интернационал на Византия в съучастие със славяните. Турците заплашваха, че ще ни залеят с бежанци, ако не подпишем историческо признание по въпроса, а азерите включваха въпросните исторически клаузи в газови споразумения. Туркменистан пък просто апелираше за уважение към историческата истина.</p><div class="col1" style="caret-color: rgb(62, 62, 62); color: #3e3e3e; float: left; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; padding: 6px 0px 20px; width: 240px;"><div class="group accordion ui-accordion ui-widget ui-helper-reset" role="tablist" style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.3; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 30px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;"><h4 style="color: #00468f; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: 0.1em; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 18px; text-transform: uppercase;">РЕДАКЦИЯТА ПРЕПОРЪЧВА</h4><div class="group" style="margin-bottom: 30px;"><div class="lineExtra" style="border-top-color: rgb(211, 207, 202); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; clear: both; height: 0px; margin-right: 20px; width: auto;"></div><div class="news red" style="background-color: white; border-bottom-color: rgb(211, 207, 202); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; margin-right: 20px; overflow: hidden; padding-bottom: 11px;"><a class="linkable" href="https://www.dw.com/bg/%D0%B1%D0%B8%D0%B5%D0%BC-%D1%81%D0%B5-%D0%B2-%D0%B3%D1%8A%D1%80%D0%B4%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B5-%D0%BA%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%B2%D0%B8-%D0%B2%D0%B5%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B8-%D1%86%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%B5-%D1%81%D0%BC%D0%B5-%D0%B8%D0%BC%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B8-%D0%B8-%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%B0-%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%BC%D0%B5%D0%BD%D1%8F%D0%BC%D0%B5-%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%8F%D1%89%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%BE/a-55395689" style="color: #3e3e3e; display: block; text-decoration: none; width: 220px;"><h2 aria-controls="ui-id-2" aria-expanded="true" aria-selected="true" class="ui-accordion-header ui-helper-reset ui-state-active ui-corner-top ui-state-default ui-accordion-header-active" id="ui-id-1" role="tab" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-attachment: inherit; background-clip: inherit; background-color: inherit; background-image: inherit; background-origin: inherit; background-size: inherit; border-top-left-radius: 0px; border-top-right-radius: 0px; border: none; cursor: pointer; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 25px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 8px 0px 5px;" tabindex="0">"Бием се в гърдите какви велики царе сме имали и така подменяме настоящето"</h2><div aria-hidden="false" aria-labelledby="ui-id-1" class="teaserContentWrap ui-accordion-content ui-helper-reset ui-widget-content ui-corner-bottom ui-accordion-content-active" id="ui-id-2" role="tabpanel" style="background-image: url("https://www.dw.com/css/images/ui-bg_flat_75_ffffff_40x100.png"); background-position: 50% 50%; background-repeat: repeat no-repeat; border-bottom-left-radius: 0px; border-bottom-right-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #636160; line-height: 1.3; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;"><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; height: auto !important; line-height: 20px; margin: 8px 0px 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px;">Мнозина българи вярват, че българските нация, език и култура са древни.

При условие, че подкрепим Иран в конфронтацията му със САЩ и обявим Хизбула за хуманитарна организация.</p><p style="caret-color: rgb(62, 62, 62); color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px;">Докато политикът се разправяше с тюрките и иранците на "Враждебна”, гърците удариха България в гръб. Съобщиха му, че тяхна историческа делегация се беше промъкнала коварно през Кресненското дефиле и се бе озовала направо в незащитения Министерски съвет. ("Така е, като нямаме телена ограда на гръцката граница”, помисли си политикът). Без големи предисловия гърците вече бяха поставили ултиматум: да се подчертае в нашите учебници цивилизационната роля на Византия по българските земи и да не се набляга толкова много на военното ни противопоставяне с империята. Проектодоговорът, предложен от тяхната делегация, съдържал и специална клауза за император Василий II Българоубиец. Той трябвало да се разглежда в българските учебници по-нюансирано и да не се забравя ролята му на цивилизатор и пръв водач на християнския свят в много трудни времена. Ако не изпълним тези искания, гърците заплашвали, че ще блокират приемането на евробюджета и специално 12-те милиарда евро за България от възстановителния фонд.</p><p style="caret-color: rgb(62, 62, 62); color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px;">Вбесеният политик изпсува в съня си, изостави тюрките и иранците и се втурна да отблъсква наглата византийска историческа агресия. Тогава телефонът му тревожно иззвъня. Съобщиха му, че руският черноморски флот е акостирал във Варна, като на флагманския кораб се веел, забучен на копие, Санстефанският мирен договор. Руснаците идвали и с дълъг списък от искания за исторически признавания, започващи с военната дружба между средновековна България и Киевска Рус, минаващи през нуждата от построяване на нови паметници на Съветската армия освободителка и завършващи с тезата, че руският газ е като въздуха и слънцето за българския народ. Дипломатите на великата страна настоявали също така българските учебници по история да се пренапишат от Костадин Костадинов и Волен Сидеров, съвместно с екип учени от МГУ. За капак Царево трябвало отново да се нарича Мичурин.</p><p style="caret-color: rgb(62, 62, 62); color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px;">Докато се чудеше дали да хване самолета за Варна или направо да звъни на НАТО, политикът получи и друго известие, което вече го разсмя. Румънска делегация прекосила на кожени мехове Дунава при Никопол и поискала правителството ни да признае Второто българско царство за общо с румънците (заради куманския произход на много наши царе). Политикът съобразително реши да прати румънците да се разправят с тюркската делегация, тъй като куманите май също бяха някакво тюркско племе. Искаше да спечели време, за да обмисли цялостната отбранителна стратегия на страната.</p><p style="caret-color: rgb(62, 62, 62); color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 25px;">Развръзката</span></p><p style="caret-color: rgb(62, 62, 62); color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px;">Изведнъж развръзката дойде от най-неочаквано място. Докато политикът отчаяно събираше контрааргументи и правеше списъци на историци за различните съвместни комисии, той включи CNN с надеждата, че светът все още не е разбрал за конфузната ситуация, в която България е попаднала. Но това, което видя в новините, направо го порази. Никой не се интересуваше от България, защото ефирът гърмеше от още по-бомбастични известия за исторически претенции. Швеция, Дания и Норвегия искаха Великобритания да спре кражбите на норманска история и да признае, че английската нация се е появила на викингска основа. Швеция заплашваше, че ще изтегли популярните мини кюфтета с боровинково сладко от магазините на ИКЕА на Острова. Италианците пък искаха да бъдат обявени за наследници на Рим и за цивилизатори на цяла Европа (заради което ЕС би трябвало да покрие държавния им дълг поне наполовина). Великобритания настояваше две трети от света да признае кралица Виктория за своя обща политическа ценност и лидер, осъществил прехода от Средновековието към модерния глобализиран свят. В противен случай Борис Джонсън заплашваше, че ще върне Обединеното кралство в ЕС. А индианците в САЩ вече бяха се договорили с президента Джо Байдън американските официални лица да носят пера и да пушат лулата на мира на международни срещи...</p><p style="caret-color: rgb(62, 62, 62); color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px;">Тук българският политик се събуди плувнал в пот, разтърка очи и ядосано ги извърна от потурите и калпака, овесени на закачалката в ъгъла на кабинета му. Тогава влезе секретарката и му съобщи, че премиерът Заев все още не е подписал анекса-признание за кражбата на история от страна на Северна Македония. Изпотеният и зачервен от съня човек си отдъхна наум и се замисли как най-незабелязано да разкара съвместната българо-македонска историческа комисия. И как да направи нещо смислено в отношенията със съседите. Например: добър път, жп линия или поне възможност гражданите от двете страни на границата безпроблемно да си гледат телевизиите.</p>danismilovhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15415958077134181693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516816463526604191.post-42477154276627898262020-10-10T14:35:00.002-07:002020-10-10T14:35:36.954-07:00Есен, но се усеща като лято<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

For twenty-six years, this country of 9.4 million inhabitants has been ruled by President Alexander Lukashenko. His autocratic style has exuded invincibility. He has skillfully played off Russia against the EU with the aim of guarding Belarus’s ambiguous sovereignty.<br /><br />In the south-east of Europe, bordering the Black Sea, is Bulgaria. This country of 6.9 million is a member of NATO and the EU. It enjoys all the privileges of belonging to both organizations, receiving security guarantees and generous financial support.<br /><br /><a href="https://carnegieeurope.eu/experts/693">Judy Dempsey</a><br />Dempsey is a nonresident senior fellow at Carnegie Europe and editor in chief of Strategic Europe. <br /><a href="http://twitter.com/Judy_Dempsey">@JUDY_DEMPSEY</a><br /><br /><br />Yet, for all these geopolitical and economic differences, the citizens of both countries have been protesting against their leaders.<br /><br />In Belarus, tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets <a href="https://carnegieeurope.eu/strategiceurope/82666">each Sunday since the presidential election</a> on August 9, 2020. They feel cheated by an election they insist was rigged. They want Lukashenko to resign. They want fair and free elections. They want democracy and freedom.<br /><br />Despite the violence by the Belarusian security forces who have detained probably thousands of men and women by this stage, the people of Belarus have not given up. Individuals from every walk of life are bravely demonstrating peacefully for their rights.<br /><br />In Bulgaria, protestors have <a href="https://www.novinite.com/articles/205977">taken to the streets</a> for over seventy days. They have had enough of the corruption and the style of leadership exercised by Prime Minister Boyko Borisov, the leader of several center-right governments since 2009. They want him to resign and hold new parliamentary elections instead of waiting until the planned election in March 2021.<br /><br />One would have assumed that, in the case of Belarus, the EU would have reacted to the violence, beatings, and expulsions of leading opposition figures by quickly slapping sanctions on Lukashenko, other leading regime figures, and the security forces.<br /><br />As for Bulgaria, a <a href="https://www.brusselstimes.com/opinion/131263/protests-in-bulgaria-will-the-eu-at-least-condemn-the-violence/">strong and united stance</a> by all the EU institutions against corruption and the alleged money laundering might have sent a signal to the Borisov government.<br /><br />Instead, in the case of both countries, the protestors have become hostage to special interest groups inside the EU. The upshot is that the bloc’s commitment to democratic values and freedom in Belarus and the upholding of the rule of law in Bulgaria have been thrown to the wind.<br /><br />Cyprus, a country that joined the EU in 2004 but has since then repeatedly <a href="https://carnegieeurope.eu/strategiceurope/82724">held the bloc hostage</a> over a number of issues, was true to form on September 21. It again <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/sep/21/eu-fails-agree-belarus-sanctions-cyprus-blocks-plan">blocked</a> attempts by EU foreign ministers to impose sanctions on Lukashenko and others involved in suppressing the demonstrations in Belarus.<br /><br />“Today’s failure to agree on sanctions in support of Belarusians, suffering & fighting for democracy, undermine credibility of democratic values they are fighting for,” <a href="https://twitter.com/LinkeviciusL/status/1308065957638746112">tweeted</a> Linas Linkevicius, the indefatigable foreign minister of Lithuania and staunch defender of Belarus’s citizens. “Some colleagues should not link things that must not be linked,” he added.<br /><br />Cyprus argues that the EU should <a href="https://carnegieeurope.eu/2020/09/17/conflict-could-be-brewing-in-eastern-mediterranean.-here-s-how-to-stop-it-pub-82759">impose sanctions on Turkey</a> after Ankara has attempted to extend its drilling rights in the Eastern Mediterranean, which would affect Greek islands in the Aegean Sea, besides changing existing legal maritime boundaries.<br /><br />“Our reaction to any kind of violation of our core basic values and principles cannot be à la carte. It needs to be consistent,” <a href="https://www.euractiv.com/section/europe-s-east/news/eu-urged-to-sanction-lukashenko-as-struggle-with-cyprus-continues/">said</a> Cypriot Foreign Minister Nikos Christodoulides.<br /><br />Borisov is being left off the hook too.<br /><br />Members of the European Parliament sent a <a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/O-9-2020-000051_EN.html">list of questions</a> to Borisov about corruption, allegations of money laundering, and misuse of EU funds. So far, except for dismissing his justice minister, Borisov is hanging on. The European Commission, which over the years has been monitoring Bulgaria’s attempts to reform the judiciary and end corruption, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-bulgaria-government-eu-idUSKBN25U1L2">mildly rebuked</a> the government’s attempts to end the protests by force.<br /><br />Borisov’s political future could change if the European People’s Party (EPP), the European umbrella for center-right parties and movements, spoke out against corruption. But it’s not in its character to do so.<br /><br />The EPP continues to turn a blind eye to <a href="https://carnegieeurope.eu/strategiceurope/81410">Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán</a>, whose Fidesz party is in the EPP and who has run roughshod over independent civil society organizations and ended the independence of several academic institutions and news media by either closing them down or bringing them under Fidesz’s control. And the EPP is taking a soft line on Bulgaria too.<br /><br />“The EPP will have to make a choice and take a position over the scandals,” said Daniel Smilov, program director at the Centre for Liberal Strategies in Sofia.<br /><br />But the group sees no reason to criticize Borisov. “For the moment we don’t have any sign that he is involved in corruption,” said Pedro López de Pablo, the EPP’s head of communications. “It’s a big campaign against Borisov. This is a country divided between the left and the right. There are some problems in the judicial system in all these countries,” he added.<br /><br />Other Bulgarian analysts take a different view. “People are fed up with the persistent corruption,” said Radosveta Vassileva, lawyer and social advocate. “The transformation of the country [since 1989] never went deep.”<br /><br />It is that transformation—based on democratic values—that the citizens of Belarus are attempting to begin and the citizens of Bulgaria are trying to complete. It couldn’t be clearer to the EU what’s at stake.danismilovhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15415958077134181693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516816463526604191.post-49167734173552819632020-09-19T07:04:00.001-07:002020-09-19T07:04:28.099-07:00Интервю в "Студио Банкерь"<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

margin: 0px 0px 10px;">Professor Emeritus of Socio-Legal Studies Denis Galligan introduced the lecture, entitled <a href="https://www.fljs.org/populism-constitutionalism-rule-of-law" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #337ab7; text-decoration: none;">Populism, Constitutionalism, and the Rule of Law</a>, in which Prof Smilov gave an account of the impact of rise of populism on constitutionalism and the rule of law in countries across the world, with a focus on his own region of Eastern Europe, where democracies in Hungary and Poland have been particularly influenced by populist leaders.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;">Prof Smilov, Associate Professor in Political Science at the University of Sofia, Bulgaria, began by setting out the basic concepts of populism: that there is a set of ‘good people’ vs. a corrupt elite, and that the so-called ‘will of the people’ should be followed at all cost.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;">He confronted the consensus view that constitutionalism is, by definition, in conflict with populism, since constitutionalism is essentially an ideology of limited political power, whereas the populist model relies on strongmen leaders acting in defiance of state institutions and civil society.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;">Professor Smilov noted, however, that constitutionalism and liberalism are both the product of Enlightenment thinking, which has anti-paternalism as an essential element – i.e., the belief that the people should decide for themselves, and their preferences should be respected – and that in this respect at least, populism fits well with aspects of liberalism and constitutionalism.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;">Differences emerge in respect of other facets of Enlightenment thought, which Prof Smilov termed ‘the responsibilities of freedom’:</p><ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 0px;"><li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Solidarity</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Empathy/Sympathy</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Self-education</li></ul><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;">Turning to the resurgence of populist leaders in Eastern Europe, Prof Smilov observed that even here, institutions have stood up well to attempts to overrule their place in public decision-making:</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"> </p><div class="quote" style="background-attachment: scroll; background-image: url("https://www.fljs.org/sites/all/themes/fljsbootstrap/images/large_quote.png"); background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4d4d4d; font-size: 18px; font-style: italic; line-height: 20.700000762939453px; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 850px; padding-left: 25px; padding-right: 15px;">In countries like Hungary, Poland, or Bulgaria, the rise of populism has been spectacular in the last 10 years, but even in those countries it is an exaggeration to say that their democracies have collapsed into authoritarianism.</div><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"> </p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;">He did concede that populism in Hungary was strengthened by the COVID crisis, when Viktor Orbán passed an emergency decree that effectively suspended parliament as a lawmaking body, and yet, just the day prior to Prof Smilov’s lecture, this decree was abolished and the lawmaking powers of the Hungarian Parliament was restored. Given that Hungary remains part of the EU and other institutions that can restrain executive power, it remains a long way from the authoritarianism evident in Central Asian regimes or even Russia or Turkey.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"> </p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;">He noted that, even if the independence of the judiciary has been compromised in some countries, including Hungary and Poland:</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"> </p><div class="quote" style="background-attachment: scroll; background-image: url("https://www.fljs.org/sites/all/themes/fljsbootstrap/images/large_quote.png"); background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4d4d4d; font-size: 18px; font-style: italic; line-height: 20.700000762939453px; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 850px; padding-left: 25px; padding-right: 15px;">Interestingly, the rise of populism has not led to the softening of constitutions and the adoption of procedures that do away with constitutional constraints.</div><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"> </p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;">Returning to the bigger picture of the ideologies and strategies of contemporary populists, Prof Smilov identified a deliberate move by populists to subvert the traditional ideas of a political party to better serve their ideology, and to overcome the widespread lack of trust by the public in political parties, fostered largely by their own populist rhetoric.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;">The new method of populists is to sell themselves as authentic and direct transmitters of public preferences rather than as educators of the public – and as a result, we lose this important role of political parties in the process.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;">He went on to critique the attack on rights that characterizes populist politics, whereby rights are framed as part of a ‘liberal ideology’, especially the rights of ethnic, religious, and sexual minorities. These characteristic policies expose populism as intrinsically divisive, and undermine our ideas regarding non-discrimination and rights as embedded in our constitutions.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;">Populism also represents a direct threat to supranational constitutionalism, Prof Smilov warned, citing the many grievances against the EU which are frequently used to motivate populist voters, including attacks on the Council of Europe – and of course Brexit perhaps serves as the paradigm example of recent times.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;">Professor Smilov concluded by observing that the rise of populism has left us with weakened but still functional institutions, and it is this rule of law without self-restraint which undermines the Republican principle of constitutionalism as an ideology designed to represent society as a whole.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;">The webinar was the latest in a series of free public events that we are now offering to a global audience through our live broadcasts on the Zoom webinar platform and simultaneous livestreams on our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/OxfordFLJS/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #337ab7; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Facebook Live</strong><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">channel</strong></a>, where it has already been viewed several hundred times.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;">Videos of all our webinars, along with previous filmed events such as the Putney Debates, are available to view and download on our <a href="https://www.fljs.org/video" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #337ab7; text-decoration: none;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Video pages</strong></a>.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;">To receive invitations to future webinars and all our news and free resources, please <a href="https://www.fljs.org/e-news" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #337ab7; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">subscribe to our bimonthly e-newsletter</strong></a> and <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">follow us on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/OxfordFLJS" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #337ab7; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">@OxfordFLJS</a></strong>.</p></div></div></div></div></div>danismilovhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15415958077134181693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516816463526604191.post-15016431705587768632020-09-12T05:24:00.001-07:002020-09-12T05:24:08.140-07:00Как ще си тръгне Борисов (ДВ)<p><img alt="Борисов е човек, който ще остави следа в българската история.

Но още по-важно е как ще стане това. Защото оттеглянето му от премиерския пост е събитие, което неизбежно предстои на България.</p><p><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">В парламентарните демокрации подобни събития не са особен проблем. Дори лидери като Маргарет Тачър или Тони Блеър е трябвало да се оттеглят преждевременно с оставка. В настоящите времена Ангела Меркел вече заяви, че това ще е последният ѝ мандат като канцлер.</p><p><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;" /></p><div class="banner-box" id="ad_lb_btf" style="box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"><div class="banner" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0px !important; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"></div></div><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">В двата британски случая големият лидер е имал и достоен наследник, който е развивал и допълвал политиката на предшественика си със съответните корекции. Меркел пък вероятно ще има (заслужен) шанс да се оттегли на върха на кариерата си с голямо признание у дома и невероятен международен авторитет, а това със сигурност ще ѝ гарантира наследник, който да продължи нейната линия.</p><p><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;" /></p><div class="el-offset" id="AllimportantToKnow" style="box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; float: left; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 6px 18px 27px 0px; max-width: 360px; min-width: 220px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; width: 360px;"><div class="extras top-clicks" style="border-top-color: rgb(206, 30, 46); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 7px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; max-width: 220px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"><strong class="title" style="box-sizing: border-box; display: block; font-family: TheSansDnevnikPlain, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 7px 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">Всичко, което трябва да знаете за:</strong><nav style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"><a href="https://www.dnevnik.bg/temi/protesti_2020/" style="background-position: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #ce1e2e; font-family: TheSerifDnevnikSemiBold, Arial, serif; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; transition: color 250ms ease-out, background 250ms ease-out;">Протести 2020 (508)</a></nav></div></div><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikBold, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">Проблемът на Борисов</strong></p><p><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">В автокрациите обаче смяната на политическия лидер винаги е проблемна: с нея като че ли си отива целият досегашен институционален и правов ред на страната. Джон Остин е имал теория за правото като съвкупност от общите команди на суверена. С оттеглянето на персоната на суверена по тази теория изчезват и правилата/командите, които той е създал. Затова Лукашенко се страхува от оставка - след нея той би загубил всичко, включително институционалните гаранции за правата и интересите си, които сам си е изработил. Затова и Путин избра радикалния вариант - с конституционна реформа да остане на власт до второ пришествие.</p><p><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">Проблемът на Борисов е, че иска да бъде като Меркел, но се е поставил в ситуация, която е сходна с тази на Лукашенко. България не е автокрация, но през последните десет години Борисов успя да имплантира и модифицира институционалния и правов ред със собствените си сложни и все по-проблематични неформални и задкулисни договорки. Въпросът е, че с оттеглянето на премиера тези договорки ще се обезсилят, а Борисов очевидно се бои от това.</p><p><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">По тази причина България, държава-член на ЕС и НАТО, започва да прилича на автокрация в период на смяна на лидерството. Далеч не е случайно, че Лукашенко стигна до същата формула за спасение, както и Борисов - оставка, но само след приемане на нова конституция.</p><p><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">В нашия контекст голямата лична и обществена драма, която премиерът Борисов забърка, е следната: как хем България да остане демокрация, хем той да може да се оттегли от премиерския пост, хем договорките, които е създал, да не изчезнат. Не се вижда ясен план, по който всичко това да се постигне. Наблюдаваме опортюнистични експерименти и копиране от автократични модели, което в българската среда няма как да не доведе до политически фарс.</p><p><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikBold, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">Първо: конституционна реформа а ла Путин</strong></p><p><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">Борисов вече даде да се разбере, че е готов да пожертва настоящата конституция, за да остане на власт. Проблемът с тази стратегия е обаче, че тя стана твърде прозрачна за всички. В момента само Марешки е оставен да защитава достойнствата на "проекта" за нова конституция (всъщност пораздърпан вариант на старата), без дори да го е прочел.</p><p><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">Но големият проблем за конституционните намерения на Борисов е не Марешки, а партньорите му от ДПС, които едва ли ще позволят отварянето на кутията на Пандора с екзотични приумици от "патриоти" и кой ли не в едно ново ВНС.</p><p><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikBold, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">Второ: електорална система а ла Орбан</strong></p><p><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">Борисов би искал да смени сегашната избирателна система с мажоритарна, за да закрепи водещата позиция на ГЕРБ. Мажоритарните системи (и смесените, каквато е в Унгария) дават бонус на първите две партии (и особено на най-голямата), като същевременно ощетяват останалите. Та с хитра електорална маневра Борисов опитва да закрепи ГЕРБ, което би му осигурило достатъчна политическа тежест и без да е премиер.</p><p><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">Но и този план едва ли ще сработи, защото тук не само ДПС, но и "патриотите" нямат никакъв интерес да го подкрепят. В една мажоритарна система малките партии ще изчезнат, а ДПС няма да може да се възползва от по-голямата мобилизация на електората си и рядко ще бъде необходима като коалиционен партньор (срит или открит).</p><p><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikBold, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">Трето: осигуряване на наследник а ла Елцин</strong></p><p><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">Най-важното в ситуацията, в която Борисов се намира, е осигуряването на наследник, който би уважавал договорките му: както Елцин си осигури удобен за него президент след оставката си в края на 1999 година. Тъй като договорките на Борисов са основно с ДПС, най-логично би било неговият наследник да е приемлив и за Движението. Затова и ДПС предложиха идеята за "експертно правителство", съставено от сегашното парламентарно мнозинство.</p><p><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">Този вариант е удобен за ДПС, но е високо рисков за Борисов. Първо, той ще трябва да изконсумира политическите негативи на оставката си, което допълнително ще ерозира подкрепата за ГЕРБ на следващите избори. Второ, ДПС е свикнало да дърпа управленските конци от втора линия, но ГЕРБ не може да си позволи същото: в крайна сметка едно "експертно правителство" отново ще се пише основно на сметката на ГЕРБ. И трето, за всички ще стане още по-ясно, че ГЕРБ и ДПС са политически тандем, качен на "експертно" правителствено колело.</p><p><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">Още по-важно е обаче как наследяването на властта ще протече в ГЕРБ. Оттеглянето на Борисов като премиер може да го остави начело на партията, но все пак той трябва да мисли и за наследници в нея. А специфичният му стил на управление не даде възможност за естествена конкуренция и налагане на нови лица.</p><p><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikBold, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">Четвърто: опазване на наследството и имунитет а ла Пиночет</strong></p><p><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">Борисов е амбициозен човек, който ще остави следа в българската история. Въпросът е обаче с какъв знак ще бъде тази следа. Всекидневните му турове из страната целят да го утвърдят като строител на съвременна България. Същевременно обаче през последните месеци се налага като доминиращ друг негов, далеч по-негативен образ: на патрона на едно управление, което е довело до пленяване на държавата от концентрирани частни интереси.</p><p><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">Борисов винаги е разчитал на медиите на ДПС за създаването, поддържането и освежаването на собствената си харизма. Това е обаче поръчка, а не работа по убеждение. След оттеглянето му като премиер не е изключено тези медии да се обърнат на 180 градуса, както през пролетта на 2013 година. А и днешните протести доказаха, че медиите на ДПС не могат да диктуват общественото мнение. Оставайки още на власт, Борисов рискува не само ерозия на електоралната подкрепа, но и затвърждаване на силно негативен свой образ не само в общественото съзнание в България, но и сред публичността в Европа.</p><p><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">А страхът, с който Борисов подхожда към главния прокуро Иван Гешев, както и липсата на каквато и да е премиерска критика към дейността на прокуратурата (при очевидни проблеми там) също издават надеждата на Борисов да се сдобие с де факто имунитет по модела на авторитарни лидери след тяхното оттегляне. Както демонстрира обаче и казусът с Пиночет, това е много рискова стратегия. А и при нас такъв "имунитет" би разчитал на някакви вътрешнополитически договорки и не би имал никаква стойност в наднационален съюз като ЕС.</p><p><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikBold, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">Борисов има полезен ход</strong></p><p><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">Поради невъзможността някоя от горепосочените стратегии да проработи, Борисов просто отлага неизбежното. Но ако иска да бъде повече като Меркел, а не като Лукашенко, той все още има един полезен ход: да даде обяснения за корупционните скандали и да застане с открито лице на едни нови избори, където да търси продължение на собствената си политическа линия и нова легитимност - за ГЕРБ и за себе си.</p><p><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TheSansDnevnikSemiLight, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">И колкото по-рано го направи, толкова по-добре. Всички други варианти са със силен привкус на политически и личностен провал.</p>danismilovhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15415958077134181693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516816463526604191.post-61224404648820475442020-09-12T05:12:00.001-07:002020-09-12T05:12:29.518-07:00Участие в БНТ (Георги Любенов)<div class="big-img video-wrap -r" style="box-sizing: border-box;

Bulgaria is ranked lowest of the 27 EU states in Transparency International’s 2019 corruption perceptions index </p><p> Kerin Hope in Athens and Theo Troev in Sofia SEPTEMBER 6 2020</p><p>Elena Kasabova should have little reason to feel discontented. She has a well-paid IT job at a Sofia bank, enjoys holidays abroad with her daughter and is looking forward to advancing her career. But this summer she has joined thousands of Bulgarians staging daily street protests in the capital and other cities to press for the resignation of Boyko Borisov, the long-serving prime minister, and his close associate Ivan Geshev, the country’s chief prosecutor, over their failure to crack down on corruption. “Corruption is evident everywhere,” she told the FT last week. “As a conscientious taxpayer, I don’t see why donations are needed to fund children’s hospitals and basic medical equipment while the police, MPs and cabinet ministers drive around in the latest models of expensive cars paid for out of the state budget.” The protests have highlighted popular anger over pervasive graft in the EU’s poorest member state that observers say reflects collusion by high-ranking officials, shady business groups and senior members of the judiciary. Patience with the system is running out . . . High taxes and high levels of corruption make it very difficult to succeed, whatever sector you work in Petar Nedevski, the owner of a tourism business in Sofia They remained largely peaceful and relatively small until last Wednesday, when tens of thousands rallied outside a government building for the first parliamentary session after the summer break and police turned pepper spray and water cannon on the crowd. Bulgaria is ranked lowest among the 27 EU member states in Transparency International’s 2019 corruption perceptions index. The Centre for the Study of Democracy, a Sofia think-tank, said in a 2019 report that according to local businesspeople, at least 35 per cent of public procurement contracts involved corrupt practices. “Patience with the system is running out . . . High taxes and high levels of corruption make it very difficult to succeed, whatever sector you decide to work in,” said Petar Nedevski, the owner of a tourism business in Sofia who has attended protests every day since they began in early July. Bulgaria’s problems with corruption became entrenched in the 1990s when a group of oligarchs seized control of swaths of the economy as successive governments struggled to overhaul the country’s institutions following the fall of the Soviet Union. Their grip weakened as the economy expanded but most retained connections with politicians. This summer’s protests were sparked by a raid ordered by Mr Geshev on the offices of President Rumen Radev, who was elected by popular vote in 2016 and is an outspoken critic of the ruling Gerb party’s record on graft. Carried out by a heavily armed security team, the raid added to a simmering feud between Mr Borisov and the president. Anger has been intensified by a series of recent scandals, including allegations about kickbacks to government officials paid by a now-fugitive Bulgarian businessman in return for allowing him to take over the state gaming company operation, and leaked photographs of the prime minister’s bedroom at a state mansion showing a stash of €500 bills in an open drawer. Mr Borisov has said some of the photographs are fake. Bulgaria’s prime minister Boyko Borisov is seen as determined to hold on for the rest of his term © Ludovic Marin/AFP A former fireman and Sofia mayor who is serving his third term as prime minister, Mr Borisov has dominated the country’s politics for more than a decade. But his approval rating has recently declined sharply, with opinion polls indicating that between 60 per cent and 70 per cent of Bulgarians support the protesters’ demands for his resignation. Mr Geshev came to prominence as a maverick investigator opposed to the separation of powers between the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government. His appointment as chief prosecutor last year prompted criticism from European-trained Bulgarian lawyers and led to street protests in Sofia. Last Wednesday’s protest came as the government was holding a special parliamentary session to prepare the launch of constitutional reforms later this year. It is unclear what the reforms will be, and opponents see the plan as a tactic to divert attention from Mr Borisov and keep his government afloat for the rest of its term. A general election is due next April. While the government secured enough votes to push ahead, it faces another hurdle in November, when it needs to secure support for an assembly to push through constitutional changes.

We’re quite likely to see a period of confusion and delay,” said Hristo Ivanov a former justice minister and a leader of Democratic Bulgaria, a pro-European party who has played a prominent role in the protests. Daniel Smilov, an analyst at the Centre for Liberal Strategies in Sofia, said Gerb’s constitutional manoeuvring would only make the protesters more determined. The recent scandals “are graphic examples of what people see as high-level corruption”, he said. “None has been properly investigated, leaving many with the feeling that Mr Geshev has served to cover up such misdeeds.”</p><p>Original link: https://www.ft.com/content/1c6beea7-1e6a-44f8-a97c-1d8beb38dfac</p>danismilovhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15415958077134181693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516816463526604191.post-51866963653091405112020-09-12T04:57:00.000-07:002020-09-12T04:57:29.671-07:00Участие на Даниел Смилов в "Алтернативата" ТВ1<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PeZAix2uvjQ" width="320" youtube-src-id="PeZAix2uvjQ"></iframe></div><br /> <p></p>danismilovhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15415958077134181693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516816463526604191.post-43669002486880803992020-04-18T07:50:00.001-07:002020-04-18T07:50:47.602-07:00Коронавирус и популизъм: DW<h1 style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border-top-color: rgb(211, 207, 202); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 35px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 40px; margin: 0px 20px 0px 0px; padding: 20px 0px;">

Какъв ще е ефектът от кризата с коронавируса върху политическия пейзаж в България и Европа? Ще се засилят ли популистките партии и играчи, както и популистката реторика след нея? И преди кризата беше модерно политиците агресивно да ухажват народа, да се представят за автентичен изразител на неговите най-интимни чувства и мисли, каквито и да са те. Тази конкуренция за постигане на най-бързо, най-директно, нефилтрирано изразяване на народните настроения може да бъде наречена "политичеки популизъм". Нейното идеологическо съдържание е минималистично: нагласите на народа са добри и трябва да бъдат представяни пряко, без да се променят. Елитът е лош, защото изкривява тези нагласи в свой собствен интерес.</div>

Коронавирус: защо държавата трябва да затвори храмовете по Цветница и Великден</h2>

<span style="color: black; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 25px;">Експерти или популисти?</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: 25px; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px;">
Коронавирусът отключва два механизма, които оказват влияние върху популисткия феномен. Първият механизъм работи срещу него и го ограничава. Епидемията завърна експертността в политиката, а експертите са безспорна част от елита. Епидемия не може да се управлява по метода "вие сте прости и аз съм прост - ще се разберем". Тази иначе симпатична популистка рецепта е пряк път към трагедия в настоящата ситуация. И чест прави на автора ѝ - Бойко Борисов, че не я приложи в България, а създаде експертен щаб и мобилизира голяма част от научния и професионален потенциал на страната за справяне със ситуацията.</div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: 25px; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px;">
Ограничаването на популизма заради завръщането на експертността бе особено видимо в поведението на Доналд Тръмп и Борис Джонсън. Тръмп започна с отричане на опасността като нещо "чуждо" и неамериканско (китайско, европейско и т.н.). САЩ се забавиха много с въвеждането на нужните мерки. И в един момент експертността се завърна под натиска на реалността - смъртните случаи нараснаха драматично. Подобен сценарий се разви и във Великобритания.</div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: 25px; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px;">
Вторият механизъм обаче подпомага популисткия сценарий в политиката. Коронавирусът хомогенизира нацията, която е изправена като едно цяло пред невидимата опасност. Цялата нация има нужда от дисциплина, координация, организация. И тук идва популисткият политик, който лесно се представя като спасител, като пастир, който ще преведе стадото през смутните времена. Манихейската опозицията <em>добър народ-лош елит</em> лесно се трансформира в библейската конюнкция <em>добър народ-добър пастир</em>. Тази трансформация вече се реализира в Унгария, където Виктор Орбан безсрочно се обяви за господар на страната и де факто суспендира парламентарната демокрация. Разбира се, в името на здравето и благоденствието на народа.</div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: 25px; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px;">
Кой от двата механизма ще се окаже по-силен? Рано е да се правят заключения, защото кризата е още в самото си начало. Ако експертните препоръки за карантина и социална дистанция се провалят и ни се случат втори и трети вълни от зараза, разочарованието от професионалния елит ще е огромно. Тогава може да очакваме популистка пандемия, нашествие от спасители на нациите. Поне засега, обаче, в западните демокрации сработва по-скоро първият механизъм на ограничаване на популизма чрез експертността. Особено важна тук е и ролята на държавата и професионални органи като централните банки за излизане от вече стартиралата икономическа рецесия. Всяка надежда за приемлив изход е свързана с успеха на предприетите от ЕС и САЩ мерки за стимулиране на икономиката. И съвсем не е случайно, че в ситуацията на преден план излязоха трезви и рационални политици като Меркел, която преди това беше критикувана за какво ли не от популистките среди.</div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: 25px; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px;">
В Източна Европа унгарският пример показва, че сценарият с пастира-спасител е по-популярен, отколкото на запад. Но и тук засега либералната демокрация не е колабилара, макар че тревожните симптоми са налице и то не само в Унгария.</div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: 25px; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px;">
В България нещата са още по-нюансирани и двата механизма по отношение на популизма засега не могат да вземат надмощие един над друг. Съотношението на силите към момента е следното:</div>

Този анализ показва, че в България поне засега втората тенденция не е взела връх. Но както казват англосаксонците, журито още заседава по въпроса. В България към популисткия сюжет трябва да прибавим като пралелна линия на развитие и разместването на лобитата във властта. Около ББР стана нещо такова и Стоян Мавродиев беше отстранен. Първоначалните индикации, че Борисов може да се е конфронтирал с кръговете от ДПС обаче май се оказват подвеждащи. Някакви договорки са се променили, но базовата конструкция на управлението - ГЕРБ и ДПС - се запазва.</div>

<img alt="Проф. Григорий Вазов: Убеден съм, че ще бъдем приети в еврозоната " height="218" src="https://img2.novini.bg/uploads/news_pictures/2020-15/big/623567.jpg" style="font-family: -webkit-standard;" width="400" /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="BG">Снощи дойде добра новина от еврозоната – договорен бе първи общ пакет от 500 млрд. евро за справяне с икономическата криза. Фон дер Лайен преди дни съобщи, че ЕС – страните членки и институциите на съюза – са мобилизирали като отговор на кризата около 2,7 трлн. евро. С вчерашното решение общата, солидарната част от тези 2,7 трлн. става вече поне 537 млрд (500 млрд. от еврозоната плюс 37 млрд. от бюджета на ЕС).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="BG">Това означава, че ЕС само досега е успял да “солидаризира” около 20% от фискалния отговор на кризата. Толкова за фалшивата теза за липсващата солидарност. За сравнение, стандартният бюджет на ЕС е само 1% от БВП на страните членки. Кризата очевидно консолидира Европа и демонстрира, че всички заедно са по-добре защитени – затова така бързо достигнаха до 20% колективни фискални мерки от всичко предприето.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="BG">Очакването ми е, че тези 500 млрд. са само началото на солидаризирането на усилията. ЕЦБ в свой анализ бе поставила цел от 1,5 трлн. евро, която не беше достигната. Идеята за “коронаоблигации” – общи дългови инструменти – също беше отхвърлена, но не е съвсем изключено отново да се появи на масата. В крайна сметка още нямаме реална оценка за размера на кризата и всички тези числа са просто моментни реакции. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="BG">Основният инструмент за солидаризация на публичен дълг, с който ЕС разполага сега, е Европейският стабилизационен механизъм. Той ще осигури заеми от 240 млрд. евро и ще е най-съществената част от спасителния пакет. ЕСМ е колективен инструмент на страните от еврозоната – той работи със свои облигации, гарантирани от страните членки – с които може да набира капитал на много ниски лихвени нива (около 0,7%). Този капитал той впоследствие дава като заеми на страни от еврозоната, които са с финансови затруднения и биха взели заеми при много по-неизгодни условия. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="BG">“Коронаоблигациите” биха изпълнявали сходна функция, но като директен колективен дългов инструмент, зад който стоят солидарно страните от еврозоната. Ако се приеме такова решение, ще се спестят административните разходи около съществуването на отделен фонд като ЕСМ. Ще се спести един посредник между страните членки и дълговите пазари. Но ЕСМ играе и друга цел – той е инструмент, с който могат да се поставят условия на правителствата на закъсали държави да поддържат финансова дисциплина. Всъщност, той представлява нещо като Международния валутен фонд, но е само за страните от еврозоната. Германия и Холандия очевидно не искат да се откажат от един такъв инструмент, макар че се съгласиха да разхлабят условията по даването на заеми за справяне с проблеми, породени директно от епидемията. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="BG">Въпреки бързата консолидация, кризата демонстрира и колко далеч е ЕС от федерална държава от рода на САЩ. Там федералните институции вече взеха решение за пакет от 2 до 3 трлн. долара. ЕС финансово дава сходен отговор – около 3 трлн. евро общо – но “федералната”, солидарната част от него засега е “само” 537 млрд., а останалото е в ръцете на държавите членки. Кой модел е по-ефективен – времето ще покаже.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="BG">ЕС има и една голяма “базука” за “солидаризация” на публични задължения в краен случай. Това е ЕЦБ. В най-лошия сценарий, ако Италия, Испания и други държави се окажат в ситуация, че лихвените проценти по дълговите им книжа растат застрашително, ЕЦБ може да задейства огромни, на практика безлимитни програми (като </span><span lang="EN-US">Outright Monetary Transactions - OMT) </span><span lang="BG">за индиректно изкупуване на дълга на закъсалите държави на вторичния пазар. А и да не забравяме и думите на Марио Драги от 2012 г., когато той каза, че ЕЦБ ще направи “каквото е необходимо”, за да няма ликвидна криза в еврозоната. Всичко това означава, че ако настъпи момент на екзистенциална криза за еврозоната, ЕЦБ на практика ще има инструменти, сходни на инструментите на Федералния резерв или друга национална централна банка. Никой, разбира се, не желае солидаризация на дългове чрез инфлация на общата валута. Но съществуването на подобна възможност само по себе си играе стабилизираща роля в еврозоната. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="BG">За България, макар че за съжаление не сме част от еврозоната, тази консолидация е особено важна. Първо, икономиката ни зависи от еврозоната – нашите фабрики ще останат затворени, ако няма възстановяване там. Второ, при нас ще дойдат свежи средства от различни програми на ЕС – 1,5 млрд. вече са гарантирани, а по програми за заетост и т.н. ще дойдат още. Следващият бюджет на ЕС ще е пряко насочен към икономическо възстановяване – т.нар. европейски “план Маршал”. И без такъв план трансферите от ЕС годишно към нас са достигали 4 млрд. евро – т.е. ние и сега сме в подобна схема. Трето, нашата финансова стабилност е свързана със стабилността на еврозоната. През 2014 г. получихме от ЕЦБ сериозна подкрепа, която спомогна да се предотврати по-тежка банкова криза след фалита на КТБ. Подобен финансов гръб е изключително важен за страна с валутен борд като България.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The immediate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic leaves little room for imagination. Healthcare systems are overburdened as the number of infections and deaths have ballooned in recent weeks in Europe. Most non-essential economic activity has come to a standstill as citizens have been ordered to restrict their movements outside of the house as well as interactions with others.</div>

Governments may be tempted to give themselves a lot of leeway in the imposition of exceptional, emergency measures, arguably to contain the coronavirus. What if such measures are disproportional to their aim or become solidified in law once the situation returns to normalcy? Self-restraint may not be of particular concern to Viktor Orbán in Hungary and leaders with authoritarian tendencies elsewhere.</div>

The challenge to free and democratic institutions in lockdown was the subject of this week’s <strong style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: inherit;">V<span style="box-sizing: inherit; color: red;">/</span>I Breakfast </strong>discussion in partnership with the <a href="https://www.liberalforum.eu/" rel="noopener" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #0a7cc4; cursor: pointer; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-skip: objects; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s ease;" target="_blank"><strong style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: inherit;">European Liberal Forum</strong></a>. The usual small-circle gatherings in Warsaw have moved online since a couple of weeks, to follow the restrictions in place but also to meet the growing demand of citizens to make sense of what is happening in member states of the European Union.</div>

<strong style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: inherit;">Trust in technology</strong></h3>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 1.618em; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
Our first invited guest, <strong style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: inherit;">Ann Cathrin Riedel</strong> from the Berlin-based association LOAD, speaks about the risks to civil liberties in the digital sphere. She refers to <a href="https://www.dw.com/en/will-germans-trade-privacy-for-coronavirus-protection/a-52943225" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #0a7cc4; cursor: pointer; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-skip: objects; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s ease;">a recent proposal</a> by German Health Minister Jens Spahn to use location-tracking smartphones as surveillance tools to restrict the spread of the COVID-19 disease.</div>
<blockquote style="border-left-color: rgb(241, 80, 52); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 2px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #8a8a8a; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; padding: 0.5625rem 1.25rem 0.7em 1.1875rem;">
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 1.3em; font-style: italic; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 0rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
Riedel speaks of surprise about the extent to which Germans (nearly 50 per cent) seem willing to accept such measures – especially when personal security is concerned. Thought-provokingly, she adds, “trust in technology outweighs deeply-rooted concerns about personal privacy in Germany.”</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 1.618em; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
Nevertheless, the benefits of a tracking app may never materialise because there are doubts over its effectiveness.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 1.618em; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
The usage of GPS data would only give an approximation of contact between people – leading to uncertainty about potential exposure and spread of the virus. Also, not all German citizens have a smartphone and therefore the ability to make use of this technology.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 1.618em; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
As an alternative, Riedel sees a holistic approach – where technology can play a role – as a better way forward. This relies on extensive testing and the widespread use of protective gear to contain the coronavirus.</div>

Overall, Riedel does not consider there is a major threat to democracy in Germany since every step of the government is subject to scrutiny and healthy debate.</div>
<blockquote style="border-left-color: rgb(241, 80, 52); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 2px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #8a8a8a; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; padding: 0.5625rem 1.25rem 0.7em 1.1875rem;">

More worryingly, however, is how disinformation spreads itself among citizens. While political disinformation spread by Russian bots is the usual suspect – and should not be ignored – Riedel emphasises the risks attached to fake health information being spread via messenger services.</div>

“We always talked about Facebook and Twitter in terms of the spread of disinformation. But it’s mostly happening on WhatsApp. There is a totally different level of trust because of a friend or a family member is sharing information with you.”</div>

The second guest, <strong style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: inherit;">Edit Zgut</strong>, who is a DemocraCE Fellow and a PhD Researcher at the Polish Academy of Science, gives the latest stay of play in Hungary with regard to <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/30/hungary-jail-for-coronavirus-misinformation-viktor-orban" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #0a7cc4; cursor: pointer; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-skip: objects; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s ease;">an adopted bill</a> that enables the government to rule by decree for an unqualified period without parliamentary oversight.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 1.618em; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
“A tremendous number of special laws have been signed and adopted in other countries, but none has gone as far as the Hungarian enabling bill on the protection against the coronavirus.” It also introduces new criminal offences for those who spread disinformation or interfere with quarantine measures.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 1.618em; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
Whereas the Hungarian government claims there are limitations to the bill, the newly adopted rules can only be overturned by a two-thirds majority in parliament – which Fidesz has – and a signature by the president.</div>
<blockquote style="border-left-color: rgb(241, 80, 52); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 2px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #8a8a8a; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; padding: 0.5625rem 1.25rem 0.7em 1.1875rem;">

Zgut sees dangers ahead because of the experience of authoritarian system transformation: “This Orbán government has rewritten the Constitution eight times, restricted freedoms of media and academia; it has taken over most of the democratic institutions. There are clear signs that the ruling party wanted to enforce a special legal order for political reasons.”</div>

Since the Hungarian Parliament voted on Monday to let Orbán to rule by decree, one pro-government businessman has already <a href="https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-hungary-media/hungarian-businessman-buys-50-of-media-group-linked-to-index-hu-idUKKBN21I1PW?il=0" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #0a7cc4; cursor: pointer; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-skip: objects; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s ease;">acquired control</a> of a major independent news outlet, Index.hu.</div>

It remains an open question to what extent other countries will follow down the same path.

<span style="font-size: 1.3em;">Bulgaria’s president vetoed provisions that would criminalise the spread of fake news and the introduction of price controls as part of the economic response to the crisis.</span></div>

“The very fact of a veto procedure shows there is a degree of checks and balances in Bulgaria,” indicates Smilov. This was also demonstrated when the Justice Minister suggested a derogation to the European Convention of Human Rights but backtracked on the idea soon after, because of public criticism.</div>

The main challenges relate to the pressure exerted by populist parties on the government to impose even harsher restrictions. For instance, there is a risk that the Bulgarian leadership could apply discriminatory measures with regard to the Roma community.</div>

“While some special policy may be justified, to contain the spread of COVID-19, this should not mean quarantine and sealing off these areas. Fortunately, the government has made use of Roma mediators to explain the situation.”</div>

Democracy appears to be functioning, but time will tell the extent to which the Bulgarian government will abide by the rules. With most of the plenary sessions of parliament suspended until mid-April, there is little room for effective control of the executive power.</div>

Meanwhile, other serious issues may be overshadowed by the health crisis – such as the beating of a journalist.

<strong style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: inherit;">Daniel Kaddik</strong><span style="font-size: 1.3em;">, Executive Director at the European Liberal Forum, emphasises in his summary remarks how the virus not only affects people but also democratic processes – even in countries that do not belong to the usual suspects.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 1.618em; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 1.3em; font-style: italic; font-weight: 600;">“We are observing a change of mindset, with Germans ending their resistance against electronic surveillance (while they pushed back against electronic IDs for years) and Poland restraining the opposition candidates in the presidential election race.”</span></div>
</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 1.618em; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
In searching for analogies, Kaddik wondered whether this experience would be comparable to the aftermath of 9/11 in the United States. Is it realistic to expect a quick withdrawal of emergency measures in some countries? He appears concerned for some countries since it is hard to foresee how long the situation will last.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 1.618em; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
“Politics has not found a proper answer to this challenge. There are calls for strong men, to take care of the situation. Even though they may not solve anything, authoritarian measures have been praised as a solution.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 1.618em; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
“In Germany, the Constitutional Court would step in, but it is an open question whether this would happen elsewhere.” Hence, Kaddik points towards a European dimension – and whether the EU has the capacity to deal with these digressions of democratic procedures.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 1.618em; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
In the subsequent discussion, Edit Zgut suggests the EU cannot any longer tolerate the democratic backslide in Hungary. However, because of the exceptional state of order, the Commission cannot do much at present. Rather, it should focus on existing infringement procedures related to the ombudsman and judicial independence.</div>

Is Europe at risk of strengthening authoritarian populism with every criticism? “A crisis provides a rally around the flag, with people becoming more tolerable towards autocratic measures, because of fear of their own safety,” thinks Zgut.</div>

However, it is important to consider alternatives.</div>

One possibility is to support independent media, so they continue to play a critical role in providing reliable information and posing a counterweight to those in power. The current virus-induced downturn risks a repeat of the financial-economic crisis of 2008-09 when many outlets ran into difficulty and set off a process of media oligarchisation in the following years.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 1.618em; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
For now, some newspapers have confirmed growth in subscriptions – since people are encouraged to read and support reliable journalism.</div>

Another way may emerge during the period of economic recovery when the EU’s leverage – funds to support growth – will be sought after by these backsliding countries.</div>
<blockquote style="border-left-color: rgb(241, 80, 52); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 2px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #8a8a8a; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; padding: 0.5625rem 1.25rem 0.7em 1.1875rem;">

Finally, it is important for citizens and civil society to stand up. Freedom cannot be traded for security. At most, authoritarian recipes give a false sense of safety.</div>

The next weeks will be crucial to avoid emergency measures from becoming solidified in the system. The continent may not come to the rescue, but citizens can.</div>

Еurope will either come stronger out of this crisis, or it will no longer be a credible political project. There are three problems that need to be solved:</div>
<div class="selectionShareable" style="border: none; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: GaramondPremierW08-Capt, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 23.799999237060547px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
First, the coronavirus needs to be contained within reasonable time and in a non-catastrophic way regarding the economy.</div>
<div class="selectionShareable" style="border: none; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: GaramondPremierW08-Capt, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 23.799999237060547px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Second, the emergency situation should not be allowed to consolidate the authoritarian and illiberal tendencies especially prominent in the eastern part of the continent.</div>
<div class="selectionShareable" style="border: none; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: GaramondPremierW08-Capt, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 23.799999237060547px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Last but not least, Europe—both the EU institutions and national governments—should act together to deal with the economic consequences of the crisis in a way which is both effective and seen by the peoples of Europe as fair.</div>
<div class="selectionShareable" style="border: none; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: GaramondPremierW08-Capt, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 23.799999237060547px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
These are difficult but not impossible tasks. They require a lot of good will and intelligent coordination of action beyond what is available as established institutions and procedures. Of special importance is the economic recovery—if national egoism wins the day, the EU project will be in existential trouble.</div>
<div class="selectionShareable" style="border: none; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: GaramondPremierW08-Capt, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 23.799999237060547px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
On the bright sight, these tasks give the EU a clear purpose in times when it is often accused of having lost its way.</div>

<div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="5mhi0-0-0" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; position: relative;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">PM Boris Johnson is taking contempt of parliament (and the court) to new heights.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="5khji" data-offset-key="4io1a-0-0" style="caret-color: rgb(28, 30, 33); color: #1c1e21; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="4io1a-0-0" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; position: relative;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">First, he put some lipstick on Theresa May's withdrawal deal, made it slightly worse, and branded it a "New Deal". Understandably, the Westminster Parliament was not thrilled by this antic and tried at least to ensure that the necessary legislation for an orderly withdrawal was in place. Hence the need for another extension of Brexit. </span></div>
</div>
<div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="5khji" data-offset-key="2s3j9-0-0" style="caret-color: rgb(28, 30, 33); color: #1c1e21; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="2s3j9-0-0" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; position: relative;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Secondly, and crucially, in defiance of Parliament Johnson sent a letter to the EU, explaining why they should reject the parliamentary request for an extension. </span></div>
</div>
<div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="5khji" data-offset-key="ehm7a-0-0" style="caret-color: rgb(28, 30, 33); color: #1c1e21; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="ehm7a-0-0" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; position: relative;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In a constitutional model based on the sovereignty of parliament, this is not a trivial matter: such an act of defiance is in essence a violation of foundational principles. On top of that this act embarrasses the UK in Europe and the world, because effectively the country does not speak with a single voice. One does not expect from the oldest constitutional parliamentary model such an institutional schizophrenia.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="5khji" data-offset-key="3lu4q-0-0" style="caret-color: rgb(28, 30, 33); color: #1c1e21; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="3lu4q-0-0" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; position: relative;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The developments raise a larger point: the relationship between the Sovereignty of Parliament v. the Sovereignty of the People in the UK. Boris Johnson wants to portray himself as a defender of the People v. the Parliament. This is highly combustible political stuff. On the one hand, it puts into question the British constitutional model and calls for its revision. On the other hand, the presupposition that the hard Brexiteers' views are "the will of the people" is wrong: many people voted with the "softest" Brexit in mind in the 2016 referendum. The hard Brexiteers' hijacking of this agenda is actually a deformation of the "will of the people".</span></div>
</div>
<div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="5khji" data-offset-key="62sun-0-0" style="caret-color: rgb(28, 30, 33); color: #1c1e21; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="62sun-0-0" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; position: relative;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So far Brexit had put strains mostly on the unity of the United Kingdom: Scotland was increasingly drifting apart from Westminster. With the latest escalation of the Brexit drama, the very parliamentary setup of the UK is put sharply into question.</span></div>
