The Liberals selected Guy Verhofstadt as their lead candidate for European Commission president at a congress in Brussels in February 2014. Verhofstadt prevailed in a pre-congress deal with Olli Rehn that avoided a contested vote. In March, the Socialists confirmed Martin Schulz as their sole candidate at a congress in Rome. A week later, Jean-Claude Juncker won the contested nomination vote among the EPP, beating Michel Barnier with support from Angela Merkel.

This document provides a historical overview of the rise of far-right political parties in France and the UK, specifically focusing on the Front National (FN) in France and the UK Independence Party (UKIP). It details the emergence of the FN out of earlier far-right movements in France dating back to the 1940s. It also examines the historical development of far-right politics in the UK and the eventual founding of UKIP. The document then compares the ideological stances, trajectories, and political influence of the FN and UKIP.
The armed conflict in eastern Ukraine has led to increased migration flows both within Ukraine and to neighboring countries like Poland. As a result of the ongoing conflict, Ukrainians have been emigrating en masse to places like Russia, other neighboring countries, and EU states, primarily Poland. Poland has seen a steadily growing influx of Ukrainian migrants and economic immigrants in recent years, intensified by the internal situation in Ukraine. Between January and August 2015 alone, Polish missions in Ukraine issued almost 600,000 visas to Ukrainian citizens, a 9.5% increase over the same period in 2014.

2. PV panels operate by converting sunlight into electricity via the photovoltaic effect. Electrons in silicon or other semiconducting materials are knocked loose when struck by photons, allowing electricity to flow.
3. PV installations can be either off-grid systems with battery storage or connected to the electric grid. The solar energy industry has grown rapidly in recent years and now supports over 100,000 American jobs.
The document provides analysis of the results of the 2009 European Parliament elections by country. It finds that the center-right EPP group won the most seats overall at 264. The center-left Socialists lost significantly, only winning 184 seats. Nationalist and populist groups made gains in some countries. Voter turnout declined slightly but remained high in some countries like Belgium where the European elections were held concurrently with regional elections.
The European liberal party ALDE kicked off their process to select a common candidate for the European Commission presidency, with a decision expected on February 1. Two potential candidates are Olli Rehn, the Finnish EU Commissioner for Economic and Monetary Affairs, and Guy Verhofstadt, the Belgian leader of the ALDE group in the European Parliament. However, it is unlikely that a liberal will be selected for Commission presidency given that ALDE is only the third largest political bloc in Europe.

The European Parliament elections saw a troubling swing to the extreme right across Europe. Parties like Golden Dawn in Greece and Jobbik in Hungary that promote racism and anti-Semitism had strong showings. In Germany, Angela Merkel's party won but the new Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which opposes the euro currency and bailouts for southern European countries, gained its first seats in the European Parliament. The AfD promotes a nationalist message and some see it as further to the right than Merkel's party, but its leader says it does not want to work with extreme right groups in other countries and will seek allies among conservatives.

THE NEW CICLE OF THE EUROPEAN INSTITUTIONS. MAY-NOVEMBER 2019 telosaes
More than 350 million people will be able to vote between 23 and 26 May to elect the new European Parliament (EP), the only institution directly elected by the citizens of the European Union. What’s at stake? What happens with Brexit?
The European Parliament is the directly elected parliamentary institution of the European Union that, along with the Council and Commission, exercises the EU's legislative functions. It has been directly elected every five years since 1979. The Parliament has three places of work in Brussels, Luxembourg, and Strasbourg and consists of members from various political groups like the EPP and S&D. While it can amend or reject legislation, it needs the Commission to initiate bills. Its powers have expanded with each new treaty.
Elections for the European Parliament take place every five years in the EU member states. Each country has its own voting system, but they must use a form of proportional representation and cannot have election thresholds over 5%. Most countries use party list PR across the entire state, but some like Belgium and the UK divide into constituencies. Europarties campaign EU-wide and must put forward a candidate for European Commission President. Voter turnout has declined in each election as some see it as a way to punish national governments. Reforms are being considered to make the elections more pan-European and increase voter engagement.

Olivier Desbarres - The Ultimate Guide to the 2017 French Elections – Part IOlivier Desbarres
The first round of the French Presidential elections is due to be held in 47 days, with the likely second round two weeks later. There has already been much drama in a presidential campaign that has caught the world’s imagination.
The two-round election for the 577 deputies of the lower house of parliament on 11 and 17 June, which has so far received little attention, will complete the political picture in France.
There are currently eighteen presidential candidates spanning the breadth of the political spectrum, from the far-left to the far-right. Political jostling is in full swing with candidates forming alliances in a bid to capture the 46 million or so votes up for grabs in round one.
The National Front’s Marine Le Pen, currently ahead in the polls for the first round on around 27%, is looking to go one step further than her father Jean-Marie Le Pen and become the first ever French female president. She is currently under investigation for misappropriation of EU funds and publication of violent images.
The centre-left candidate Emmanuel Macron, aged 39, is second in the polls on around 25%. He is vying to become the first centrist president since Valéry Giscard d’Estaing in 1974, the first independent candidate to become France’s head of state and the youngest ever President under the Fifth Republic.
Republican candidate François Fillon, who comfortably won the party primaries, is third in the polls on around 20% despite the probability that he will face formal charges on 15th March of misappropriation of parliamentary funds.
President de Gaulle, in a nod to the heterogeneity of the French electorate, famously asked how it was possible to govern a country where 258 varieties of cheese exist[1]. This granular political landscape makes it that much harder to predict with any certainty the successor to incumbent President François Hollande who has opted not to run for a second term.
This in-depth four-part Election Series will examine all core elements of the upcoming presidential and legislative elections and take both a quantitative and qualitative approach.
The material, organised in easy-to-access questions and answers, will ultimately try to answer the key question of who will be President and Prime Minister and how this will impact France, Europe and financial markets. The British decision to leave the EU and US presidential elections have fuelled the notion that anything is possible.
In Part I, I examine the importance of French presidential and legislative elections, their mechanics and timelines and the implications of a potentially high voter turnout.
Migrating Towards Participation: Immigrants and Their Descendants in the P...thinkingeurope2011
This document discusses the lack of political participation and representation of immigrants and their descendants in the European Union. It notes that the immigrant population in the EU is rising and will continue to rise significantly. However, political parties have struggled to incorporate immigrants as party members, candidates, or leaders. This misses an opportunity for parties, especially center-right parties, and risks alienating immigrants. Greater political integration of immigrants is important for social cohesion and preventing radicalization. The document focuses on how center-right parties in particular can better engage immigrants as voters and candidates.
2017 FRENCH ELECTIONS – THEY THINK IT’S ALL OVER…IT ISN’TOlivier Desbarres
Emmanuel Macron, the centrist founder of the En Marche! movement beat National Front candidate Marine Le Pen by two votes to one in the second and final round of the French presidential elections on 7th May, in line with my core scenario.
But for President-elect Macron (and arguably the other main party leaders), the hard work starts now. Macron is expected to appoint next week his Prime Minister and there has been much speculation.
I would expect Macron to pick a head of government and approve cabinet ministers who will not polarise political opinion. The appointment of a “rainbow government” would likely help his party – recently renamed “La République En Marche” – secure the largest number of deputies at the forthcoming legislative elections on 11th and 18th June.
If his party succeeds as opinion polls suggest – no means feat for a party which is only a year old and currently has no parliamentary deputies – this would in turn help reinforce Macron’s position and his choice of Prime Minister.
However, polls suggest that La République En Marche may fail to secure a majority of the 577 seats in the National Assembly.
If the party falls well short of that number, it would likely seek a loose coalition with either the Republican Party or less likely with the beleaguered Socialist Party, in my view.
The National Front is likely to cement its position in French politics but it will need to reform itself and I would expect personnel changes and policy tweaks.
Marine Le Pen fell well short of securing the presidency and this should have come as no great surprise as nationalist parties in other EU member states have also come up short.
This is in line with my view that while nationalist/populist parties may have greater influence on the political landscape they will in most cases fail to exercise true power, let alone dismantle the eurozone and/or EU.
Finally, opinion polls which predicted with great accuracy the second and in particular first round of the presidential elections, are back in favour – at least in France.
The rise of populist and extremist parties in Europe can be explained by their process of normalization and institutionalization over the past 20 years. Previously marginalized parties have modernized their leadership, rhetoric, and policies to become more acceptable. They have also gained popularity by presenting themselves as entrepreneurs bringing new issues neglected by mainstream parties. Meanwhile, traditional parties have lost momentum by failing to offer meaningful programs, policies, and ways to engage and mobilize citizens. The economic crisis further fueled populist criticism of elites and the EU. However, populism is a complex phenomenon not limited to extremist fringes, but also reflecting broader anxieties in society about globalization, national identity, and the changing role of the nation-state

EurActory Preview, Innovative Tools July 2014euractiv
As the new political mandate begins, European policy makers have a huge challenge ahead: making EU policy more efficient and interactive.
That’s a difficult job to do. Policy professionals are engaging with more and more and people every day: officials, politicians, lobbyists, and analysts. How do you know who to listen to? You can Google, you can network, you can meet and mingle. But how do you know who matters most to you?
EurActory is a new solution. It's a free service that identifies and evaluates the most relevant experts by policy area. It tells you who you need to know, and what you need to know about them.
So how does it work? EurActory scans the growing amount of information available on EU directories, specialised media, stakeholder websites, social media, and more.
EurActory then analyses and ranks the information, identifying the most relevant experts. You can browse experts by policy area, or dive into their individual profile pages.
So the next time you need input in your policy area, or you're looking for speakers for an event... save yourself some time. Ask EurActory. Go to eucommunity.eu to learn more.
The document discusses the development of an EU Community module to address four challenges: transparency, efficiency, engagement, and quality. It outlines a staged pilot approach to delivering modules between 2013-2016 to meet political context, including policy visualization, opinion mining, relevant people identification, and reputation modelling. A public-private partnership is proposed to fund the initial community, with governance to continue after the project to reflect the partnership approach and ensure sustainability.
The document provides evidence that Russia's special forces have been involved in developments in eastern Ukraine. It includes intercepted radio communications acknowledging a group arriving from Russia, personal confessions from Russian military officers about crossing the border and coordinating with Moscow, and evidence that the weapons, uniforms, and tactics used by separatist groups match those of Russian special forces. An expert opinion from NATO's Supreme Allied Commander notes behavior and equipment consistent with Russian military training. The document also notes the unpopularity of separatist movements among local populations and their failure to attract significant support.

केरल उच्च न्यायालय ने 11 जून, 2024 को मंडला पूजा में भाग लेने की अनुमति मांगने वाली 10 वर्षीय लड़की की रिट याचिका को खारिज कर दिया, जिसमें सर्वोच्च न्यायालय की एक बड़ी पीठ के समक्ष इस मुद्दे की लंबित प्रकृति पर जोर दिया गया। यह आदेश न्यायमूर्ति अनिल के. नरेंद्रन और न्यायमूर्ति हरिशंकर वी. मेनन की खंडपीठ द्वारा पारित किया गया
2. Centre-right
The centre-right European People’s
Party selected a single candidate at its
congress on 6-7 March in Dublin.
Europe’s most prominent political
force held a vote between two
heavyweights, as two other
contenders dropped out earlier on…
3. Jean-Claude
Juncker
Chances Juncker beat French
commissioner Michel Barnier at
the EPP congress, and got several
top endorsements within the
party. His experience as former
president of the Eurogroup
speaks in his favour, but Brussels
is already speculating he will be
put at the helm of the European
Council, rather than the EU
Commission.
Former Prime Minister of
Luxembourg
4. SocialistsThe Socialist party PES has spent
plenty of time in the past years to
design a kind of ‘primary’ selection
process for a common candidate,
only to see their frontrunner
unopposed when nominations
closed in November…
5. Martin Schulz
Nationality German
Chances Schulz was nominated
by Europe’s socialist parties in
November. Depending on the
results of the socialists in May,
he could secure a coalition
between the socialists, liberals
and greens in the next
European Parliament, putting
him front and centre as leading
candidate for the EC presidency.
President of the
European Parliament
6. LiberalsThe European liberal party
ALDE kick-started their
selection process for a front-
runner, end of November, but
what was expected to be a tight
race ended prematurely due to
a compromise between the two
liberal heavyweights…
7. Guy Verhofstadt
Nationality Belgian
Chances The liberals put Verhofstadt
front and centre as EC president
candidate, but it is unlikely that a
liberal will get the Commission
presidency. Verhofstadt’s profile is
controversial: he is disliked amongst
EU leaders in Council, as he is an
outspoken euro-federalist.
Leader of the ALDE Group in
the European Parliament
8. Olli Rehn
Nationality Finnish
Chances In January, Rehn took a step
back in the liberals’ single candidate
selection process, hoping to secure a
high-level post as commissioner with
a portfolio of economic affairs or
foreign policy. Rehn is praised for his
work as economic affairs
commissioner, yet unloved by the
public. He will campaign in tandem
with Verhofstadt.
EU Commissioner for Economic
and Monetary Affairs
10. José Bové Chances The Greens
held their “open
online primaries”
from November ’13
until 28 January ’14,
electing Bové and
Keller as frontrunners
for the campaign. But
these two candidates
lack stature and – as
fourth biggest group
in the European
Parliament – The
Greens have little
political credit to
claim any top jobs.
French MEP
Ska Keller
German MEP
11. OtherWhile many of the European parties –
especially on the right-wing side of the
spectrum – decided not to play ball in
nominating frontrunners, somedid follow
suit in the main parties’ initiative…
12. Alexis Tsipras
Chances In December, Tsipras was
designated as the common
candidate for the European Left
party. The European Left will have
little power in the next European
Parliament, even if they gain MEP
seats in the elections. As part of the
fringes of the political spectrum,
Tsipras is highly unlikely to get any
top position.
President of the Greek far-left
party Syriza
