‘We are more convinced than ever that the Minsk II agreements must be applied’ François Hollande stressed after being asked about the serious violation of the agreements by the pro-Russian militias and the surrendering of more than 2,000 soldiers of the Ukrainian Army in the strategic city of Debaltsevo. ‘Let us not get our hopes up, the peace process in Ukraine will take,’ German Chancellor Angela Merkel concluded.
The UMP has suffered a significant electoral setback these last two weekends, especially Nicolas Sarkozy, with new polls which anticipate no signs of improvement for him in future ballots. Last November, Pierre Moscovici joined the new European Commission, which led to the announcement of by-elections in the 4th constituency of the Doubs département (Franche-Comté) on February 1st and 8th, the first held in France since the Islamist attacks last January in Paris, and also the first since Sarkozy returned to the presidency of his party. Both circumstances have made this by-election a matter of national relevance.
/13.02.15/.- The FAES Foundation has celebrated the second edition of its ‘Economy Table’, on the subject of Greece and the future of the Euro, attended by the director of the Chair in International Finance System at the IE Business School, Fernando Fernández, and the Chief Economist of CEMEX, Manuel Balmaseda.

The second cease-fire in Ukraine (Minsk II) between the Government of Kiev and the pro-Russian separatists, signed after marathon rounds of negotiations between the presidents of Ukraine, Russia, France and Germany, has not achieved the goal prematurely announced by François Hollande: to give a final solution to the conflict in south-eastern Ukraine. In fact, Minsk II was based on the same assumptions as the previous treaty (Minsk I), the main purpose of which was to stop the war, given the high number of fatalities.
Who killed Joseba Pagazaurtundúa? Why? What for? We few, we happy few, we band of brothers, shall never forget. But there are many people in Spain with a short memory and a weak spirit. Joseba was murdered by the dark cohorts of those who now govern in Andoain, in San Sebastian and in so many other towns of the Basque Country. They killed him because of his untainted defence of Spain as a nation of free and equal citizens. They wanted to spread suffering across society in order to defeat democracy; in order to defeat a political order that Spaniards had thought necessary and together had made possible. This is the story. And this is how we will continue to tell it, against forgetfulness and against that form of political tacticism which is neither ethically justifiable nor electorally...
