France in a Dilemma: Who Will Be the Prime Minister?
31 Aug 2024
|
Medyascope

Turkish
| Government Formation
Since the legislative elections concluded on July 7, France has been unable to form a new government. Right-wing parties, led by the National Rally Party, have refused to support a potential left-wing government. The left-wing New People's Front, which won 182 seats, had its prime minister candidate Lucie Castets rejected by President Emmanuel Macron, who cited 'institutional stability.' Macron's decision has been criticized as autocratic. Consultations with various political parties have yet to yield a result, with Socialist Party member Bernard Cazeneuve emerging as a potential candidate. The New People's Front plans to propose a motion to impeach Macron, though its success is unlikely. Protests are planned against Macron's rejection of Castets, with support from labor unions. France faces political instability as no party holds an absolute majority in parliament.

Gabriel Attal, the 34-year-old French education minister, has been appointed as France's youngest prime minister by President Emmanuel Macron.

Moldova: The Referendum Passed, but the Plebiscite Did Not
29 Oct 2024

New Geopolitics Research Network

English
| Moldovan Politics
The Republic of Moldova's recent constitutional referendum narrowly passed, aiming to solidify the country's path towards European Union membership. Despite pre-election polls predicting a stronger pro-EU outcome, the referendum's close result was influenced by Kremlin-backed opposition, which employed strategies like vote-buying and fear-based narratives. The ruling Party of Action and Solidarity, led by Maia Sandu, faced criticism for complacency and governance issues, while pro-Kremlin factions, including the Șor group, actively worked against the referendum. Moscow's ongoing influence in Moldovan politics is evident, with efforts to position Alexandr Stoianoglo as a presidential candidate. The upcoming 2025 parliamentary elections will be crucial in determining Moldova's future direction, as Russia continues to exert its influence in the region.

European Elections 2024: In Portugal, Defeat for the Far-Right Party Chega

|
French
| Portuguese Politics
In the 2024 European elections, Portugal's far-right party Chega, led by André Ventura, failed to meet expectations, securing only 9.8% of the votes and two seats, contrary to predictions of higher support. The liberal Initiative Libérale also gained two seats with 9% of the votes, positioning itself against Chega's conservative ideology. The election reinforced Portugal's political bipolarism, with the Socialist Party narrowly defeating the Alliance Démocratique, led by current Prime Minister Luis Montenegro. This victory marks Pedro Nuno Santos's first win as the Socialist leader, emphasizing Portugal's commitment to European values amidst rising far-right movements in other EU states.

Key political figures like Artur Mas and David Fernàndez emphasize the ongoing struggle for Catalonia's self-determination. The article contrasts the 2014 vote with the more forceful response to the 2017 referendum and highlights the enduring influence of pro-independence parties in Catalan politics.

Violence in Chad, including the death of opposition leader Yaya Dillo, has raised new political concerns in Africa. The African Union Commission, led by Moussa Faki Mahamat, expressed regret and called for peaceful resolutions. The violence erupted when the army fired on opposition members, and the government reported several deaths after repelling an attack by the Socialist Party Without Borders. The incident occurred amidst preparations for presidential elections, with Chad under a junta since the former president's death in April 2021.

PP and Junts explored an understanding before starting negotiations with the PSOE

Spanish
| Political Negotiations
In early August 2023, Spain's PP and Junts held a meeting in Barcelona to explore potential cooperation, establishing a courteous relationship maintained through phone calls. The meeting, which took place at the Alma hotel, involved key figures from both parties, including Junts' Albert Batet and Josep Rius, and PP's Daniel Sirera and political communication expert Xavier Domínguez. Despite no fruitful negotiation, a communication channel was opened. Junts perceives PP as more reliable than PSOE, seeking a pragmatic relationship and setting conditions similar to those later demanded from PSOE, including an independence referendum and an amnesty law. Public and private statements from both parties suggest openness to future agreements on non-independence-related matters. Junts has warned PSOE of its readiness to oppose government decrees, including economic measures and fiscal policies, citing infringement on Generalitat's competencies and potential risks to the amnesty law.

| Political Unrest
Serbia is preparing for early parliamentary elections amidst political turmoil, with mass protests earlier in the year demanding a new government. The ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), led by President Aleksander Vučić, is accused of corruption, media suppression, and ties to organized crime. Opinion polls suggest Vučić's populist coalition will be the largest, followed by the leftist pro-European opposition Serbia against Violence (SPN) and other smaller parties. Critics label the elections a sham, alleging that the SNS has an unfair advantage through media control and voter pressure. Vučić's regime has worsened relations with Kosovo and maintains diplomatic ties with the West, Russia, and China, while promoting pro-Russian and nationalist propaganda domestically. The opposition protests against violence and corruption, and investigative journalists report on the regime's use of criminal gangs. A citizen initiative in Belgrade aims to encourage voting for the right parties, as many are tired of the regime.

The Portuguese government, led by Prime Minister Luís Montenegro, plans to implement tax cuts for individuals aged 35 and under to curb emigration and attract foreigners. The proposal, part of the budget presented to parliament, aims to eliminate taxes for the first year for those earning up to €28,000, with a gradual increase over ten years. This measure, a compromise with the Socialist Party, faces criticism for not addressing high housing costs and low wages. The budget's approval is uncertain, contingent on the opposition's stance, with potential political ramifications if it fails.

Yaya Dillo, Chad's main opposition leader, was killed in a shootout with security forces at his party headquarters in Ndjamena.

Chad, a key U.S. ally in Central Africa, has faced political instability since the death of its longtime president, Idriss Déby, in 2021. The government accused Dillo's party of attacking the National Security Agency, a claim Dillo denied. Amnesty International has called for an impartial investigation into the events leading to Dillo's death. The situation underscores the fragility of Chad's political process ahead of the upcoming elections.

Portugal faces political instability as neither the Socialist Party (PS) nor the Social Democratic Party (PSD) secured a majority in the recent elections, with the far-right party Chega gaining significant ground. Chega's rise, marked by its anti-immigration stance and promises of economic reform, reflects growing public discontent with traditional parties. The Socialist Party, despite past majorities, failed to address economic challenges, while the PSD is still associated with unpopular austerity measures. The situation highlights a broader European trend of increasing support for far-right parties amid socioeconomic dissatisfaction.

Germany is on the brink of high-stakes elections with migration policies and far-right sentiment at the forefront of political discourse. The collapse of Chancellor Olaf Scholz's coalition has intensified the political climate, with the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) gaining popularity, particularly in eastern cities like Cottbus. The conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) leads the polls, while the SPD trails behind. Migration remains a contentious issue, with CDU leader Friedrich Merz criticizing current policies and proposing stricter asylum measures. The AfD's controversial tactics, such as distributing fake deportation tickets, have sparked outrage and comparisons to Nazi-era practices. The political landscape is further complicated by Germany's stance on Israel's war on Gaza, contributing to rising Islamophobia and anti-immigration rhetoric. Human rights organizations warn against adopting far-right policies, emphasizing the need for balanced political discourse.

Venezuela faces political uncertainty as it approaches the 2024 presidential elections. The constitution mandates elections every six years, but the exact date is unclear. President Nicolás Maduro, representing the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), may run for a third term. The opposition is fragmented but has agreed on primary elections, with María Corina Machado emerging as a strong candidate, although she currently faces disqualification. The National Electoral Council (CNE) is expected to organize the elections, and there is international and internal pressure for fair elections. Analysts predict Maduro will be the PSUV candidate, and if elections are free and transparent, Machado could win. However, there are concerns about electoral conditions and the possibility of manipulation, similar to the situation in Nicaragua under Daniel Ortega.

French Prime Minister François Bayrou has announced a new government, the fourth this year, aiming to avoid another no-confidence vote in a divided parliament. The government includes a mix of old and new faces, with key appointments such as Gérald Darmanin as justice minister and Manuel Valls as overseas minister. Bayrou, a centrist, seeks to form a 'national interest government' but faces criticism from the Socialist Party and France Unbowed for leaning right. The government must address France's budget deficit and prepare a 2025 budget bill. Bayrou promises dialogue and minimal use of the controversial 49.3 clause. The political landscape remains tense, with potential no-confidence motions looming.
