FAES Foundation organises from Monday 9 to Friday 13 the second edition of its Middle East and North Africa Visitor Program (the MENA region). Twenty-two young people from thirteen countries of the region will take part in it. The meetings will address the state of human rights after the so-called 'Arab Springs' and issues such as the EU's commitment to freedom and human rights in the MENA region and the importance of political parties, Constitutions and the Rule of Law for the institutional strengthening in said countries will be discussed.
Since the election of Marine Le Pen as president of the National Front in January 2011, the old populist party has decided to build itself a new youth and put aside their strictly protesting attitude to get to power. The significant percentage achieved by the FN in the first round of the presidential elections in April 2012 (17. 9%) and the results of the opinion poll which sets the party in the lead in voting intentions for the European elections in May 2014 (24% according to IFOP Institute), ahead of the UMP and the PS, suggests that a growing number of the French public opinion considers the FN as a more credible party than before and able to exert Government responsibilities.
At the congress of young European liberals recently convened in Bucharest, the European Liberal Youth (LYMEC), passed a resolution supporting the "right to decide of stateless nations" proposed by the Joventut Nacionalista de Catalunya (JNC), the youth wing of the CDC. Seeing this tendency actually isn't that strange when talking about Catalonia with young people who claim to be liberal, and who understand that the consistent thing to do with this credo is a "laissez-faire" attitude and not hinder what should be posed, in all naturality, as an open option.
Seven out of ten Venezuelans believe that the political situation in their country is "bad". The fact that an optimistic people, example of the generosity of our land, surrenders to the complacency of despair is the actual result of implementing XXI century Socialism in the South Seas. Chavism in action has ceased to be a mere inefficient supplier of oil wealth to become the most efficient generator of poverty in the region.
In the name of democracy, democracy can be undermined. Let me be more specific: in the name of the so-called "true democracy" and of the so-called "democratic principle", democracy is being undermined in Spain. On the one hand, by the left in its various manifestations. On the other, by peripheral nationalisms.
