Dear friends,
and most of us are slowly getting used to our old
routines of school, work and politics after good summer holidays. Like
always September and October are very exciting when it comes to
European politics; elections are coming up in various European states and
the Irish will have a second referendum on the Lisbon treaty. The slow news
period is over and political junkies will not lack material to read and debate
on while activists have plenty of campaigning to do.
to satisfy our political hunger we can
participate in the 20 years celebrations of the Fall of the Berlin Wall and the
unification of Germany. Moreover things are now finally happening
pertaining to Croatia's last sprint in joining the European Union and latest
news tell us Iceland has aspirations to join the EU as soon as possible!
coming up, on which DEMYC
will surely keep a close eye and put forward as topics for discussion at future
DEMYC events.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish CDU/CSU in Germany,
Nea Democratia in Greece and ODS in the Czech Republic all the success
in their upcoming parliamentary elections!
Now autumn has come
If upcoming elections are not enough
There is therefore no lack of exciting events
