ALONG THE STREETS OF THE CITY

(from Strasbourg) The melancholy sound of the bell chimes in Strasbourg’s Cathedral. For ten minutes, starting at 12, the death-knell draws our gaze to the 142-mt peak of the ancient gothic bell tower, a symbol of the Alsatian city, wounded to death last evening by the attack in rue des Orvèvres, a few blocks away […]

52° Rapporto

Lo “sfiorire della ripresa” (documentata dalla stasi o dalla flessione di tutti gli indici economici) e l’“atteso cambiamento miracoloso” che non c’è stato (il 56,3% dichiara che non è vero che “le cose nel nostro Paese hanno iniziato a cambiare veramente”). Sono queste due “delusioni cocenti” ad aver “incattivito” gli italiani” che si erano resi […]

REMEMBRANCE

80 years ago, on November 9 1938, with concerted action carried out by the National-Socialist regime throughout the territory of the German Reich, synagogues were desecrated and destroyed, people of Jewish background were persecuted, tortured and killed. The November pogrom is one of the darkest pages in modern history. All of Austria, Vienna in particular, […]

ANNIVERSARY

  November 9 remains one of the most momentous dates in German history. Eighty years ago, on November 9 1938, in Würzburg, and in cities and towns of Austria and Germany, synagogues were burned down, Torah scrolls were desecrated and destroyed, Jewish homes and shops were ransacked, vandalized, and Jews were attacked in the streets. […]

A WEEK LATER  

A climate of wonder, enthusiasm, satisfaction and some tiredness in Vilnius, Riga and Tallin after the Pope’s visit. Those who worked in the organizing process at local level are taking a period of rest after the tour de force that major events typically entail. It’s not easy to meet those we wish to interview for […]

POLITICS

It was a hot summer in Macedonia after the historical agreement on the name of the Country reached with Greece and ratified on the banks of the Prespa Lake District. Protests went on throughout the summer. The relations between Athens and Skopje have been tense since 1991, owing to longstanding objections to adopting the name […]

Document

“Africa does not need charity, it needs true and fair partnerships. And Europe needs this partnership just as much.” The message of EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, delivered during the State of the Union address in Strasbourg, September 12, is explicit. Europe’s broad, unsettled, “cumbersome” neighbouring continent, fully exploited by the former throughout the centuries, […]

Reflection

The Baltic States of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia are all celebrating the 100th anniversary of their declarations of independence. This celebration is also a time of reflection on the gift of freedom, as well as the cost of freedom. This gift requires us to work for the common good and for peace. The 50 years […]

Lavoro

Regole più stringenti per limitare il ricorso ai contratti a termine e i licenziamenti; misure contro la pubblicità del gioco d’azzardo; norme per disincentivare le “delocalizzazioni” di imprese all’estero; interventi nel campo delle procedure fiscali. Sono questi i filoni principali del primo provvedimento del governo M5S-Lega in materia socio-economica, un decreto-legge che il ministro del […]
