IN BREVE DALL’UE
In occasione della cerimonia di apertura delle Olimpiadi invernali di Sochi (l’ex) Premier Enrico Letta aveva dichiarato: “c’è l'impegno
per sbloccare la situazione della politica italiana. Ho fiducia nei vertici del Pd, assumerò un impegno dopo la consultazione con il Capo
dello stato”. Letta annunciava così le iniziative per superare l’impasse politico. E invece giovedì 13 febbraio si è consumato un vero e
proprio coup de théâtre: Matteo Renzi non ha lasciato alcuna possibilità al suo rivale davanti ai 156 membri presenti alla riunione
della direzione del Partito democratico (Pd) e ha chiesto “la formazione di un nuovo governo”. Un licenziamento in diretta sostenuto
1
da ben 136 voti a favore e solo 16 contrari. Enrico Letta ha così presentato le sue dimissioni al Presidente della Repubblica Giorgio
Napolitano venerdì 14 febbraio.
Mentre l’Italia potrebbe uscire timidamente dalla più lunga recessione della sua storia, Renzi vuole accelerare le riforme. Al piano di
rilancio presentato mercoledì da Letta, il sindaco di Firenze contrappone la sua riforma del codice del lavoro, la sua intenzione di
ridurre la fiscalità per le imprese e il tentativo di rendere più flessibile il limite del 3 per cento del deficit rispetto al PIL imposto da
Bruxelles.
Intanto sarà bene anche fare i conti con i numeri di cui si dispone: la maggioranza di cui dispone il segretario del Pd rimane
praticamente la stessa, ovvero il Partito democratico, qualche centrista e i transfughi di Angelino Alfano, il Nuovo centrodestra. A
questa maggioranza potranno aggiungersi alcuni parlamentari del Movimento 5 stelle non più in sintonia con Beppe Grillo. Insomma,
nulla cambia nella composizione della coalizione se non la “garanzia” che le offre Renzi di tenere fino al 2018, scadenza naturale della
legislatura. Ma i problemi del Paese rimangono gli stessi: crescita zero, disoccupazione di massa e una crescente povertà. Sabato 15
febbraio intanto si sono concluse le consultazioni, il Presidente della Repubblica ha dichiarato: “Sono state consultazioni per me
interessanti, non formali e ricche di stimoli”.

argomento: Italia
Enrico Letta si è dimesso irrevocabilmente dopo il voto della direzione del Pd che l’ha bocciato quasi all’unanimità dopo la relazione
di Matteo Renzi che ne ha ipocritamente lodato l’azione di governo e poi l’ha distrutta come inefficace, sbagliata, inesistente. Un
anno perduto — ha detto — con gravi conseguenze sull’economia, sui sacrifici vessatori su tutti gli italiani e sulla rabbia sociale che
hanno provocato.

argomento: UK
David Cameron has warned that the flooding crisis is likely to get worse even though Britain is set for a respite from the devastating
winter storms. The prime minister said while the weather was due to improve, the sheer volume of rain over recent weeks meant
groundwater levels would keep rising in many places.

In a television address on Saturday, the incoming prime minister, Tammam Salam, said he hoped the new government would allow
presidential elections to be held before the incumbent Michel Suleiman's term ends in May and to press ahead with parliamentary
elections that were postponed last year.

The most daring and acrobatic figure in Sochi this week isn't a snowboarder; it is Vladimir Putin, whose death-defying geopolitical
gamble is the hottest game in town. With more twists and turns than a bobsled race, more fancy footwork than a figure-skating final
and more dips and flips than a mogul run, Russian diplomacy is a dazzling spectacle these days—and despite his considerable
handicaps, Mr. Putin is skating rings around his clumsy and clueless opponents in Washington and Brussels.

Over the last several days Bosnia and Herzegovina saw widespread unrest as protesters clashed with police and burn government
buildings, leaving scores injured and arrested, mainly in the ethnically mixed parts of Bosnia that are governed by the Muslim-Croat
Federation (FBiH), while minor protests took place also in the Republika Srpska (RS) towns of Banja Luka and Bijeljina. 30 years ago
Sarajevo hosted the Winter Olympic Games, now however instead of the Olympic flame Bosnians cheered to the flames that
engulfed government buildings.
BRITEXIT2: HOW TO AVOID POISONOUS MYTHS AND A CALAMITY AFTER UK’S REFERENDUM – da Blogactiv – 14 febbraio
http://democracy.blogactiv.eu/2014/02/14/britexit2-how-to-avoid-poisonous-myths-and-a-calamity-after-uksreferendum/#.UwC_QPl5MqQ
If a UK Referendum to leave the EU succeeded, Britain would have to deal with a complex, new set of negotiations. They would have
to deal both with facts of commerce and economy but also with myths that would reinforce treating the UK as an unreliable partner.
Material loss from a poor negotiating stance would only be part of the story. If Britain was left with an unfounded reputation as a
wrecker and trouble-maker it would be far worse for its future.

WHY THE THREE BIGGEST ECONOMIC LESSONS WERE FORGOTTEN – da Social Europe Journal di Robert Reich - 12 febbraio

Why has America forgotten the three most important economic lessons we learned in the thirty years following World War II? Before

UKRAINE & EASTERN EUROPE: LEAKED ‘NON-PAPER’ – da Brussels Blog di Peter Spiegel – 10 febbraio
http://blogs.ft.com/brusselsblog/2014/02/ukraine-eastern-europe-leaked-non-paper/
One of the lingering questions left after Ukraine’s failure to sign its long-negotiated integration treaty with the EU at a November
summit in Vilnius – setting off months of protests in Kiev – is whether more needs to be offered to former Soviet republics than the
current “Eastern Partnership”, which promises “association” but not future membership with the EU.
DOES ANYBODY LOVE THE TROIKA? – da Brussels Blog di Andrew Byrne – 13 febbraio
http://blogs.ft.com/brusselsblog/2014/02/does-anybody-love-the-troika/
The troika of bailout lenders has not been getting much love at the European Parliament’s ongoing inquiry into its activities in recent
weeks. But the criticism is not just coming from MEPs in the throes of election fever. Predictions of the troika’s demise have come
from some unexpected quarters, including current and former members of the European Central Bank executive board.

For those not following every twist and turn in the EU’s debate over how to bail out failing banks, it may come as a bit of a surprise
that finance ministers are still fighting over who pays for a collapsed financial institution given the deal struck in December on this
very issue.

Le 9 février dernier, les Suisses ont exprimé leur souhait de limiter l’immigration dans leur pays et d'imposer des quotas. Un vote qui

recherche au CNRS (CERI), docteur en science politique (Institut d'études politiques de Paris) et spécialiste des migrations

SNATCHING THE BATON – da Charlemagne – 13 febbraio
http://www.economist.com/blogs/charlemagne/2014/02/italys-government
In the ever-inventive political slang of Italy, it was a staffetta—a relay, or handover. But it looked more as if the baton was being torn
from the runner’s hand. On February 13th a meeting of the centre-left Democratic Party (PD) passed what amounted to a motion of
no confidence in the prime minister, Enrico Letta (pictured), himself a member of the PD. As a result, he decided reluctantly to step
aside in favour of his party’s ravenously ambitious new leader, Matteo Renzi, who has for months now been decrying the
performance of Mr Letta’s government.
