WELT ONLINE: Die in Wien regierenden österreichischen Sozialdemokraten haben Hochrechnungen zufolge bei Landtagswahlen in Kärnten und Salzburg kräftige Verluste erlitten. Die Haider-Partei BZÖ baute ihre Position als stärkste Partei in Kärnten aus. In Salzburg behauptete sich die SPÖ trotz Verlusten um die fünf Prozent als stärkste Partei.

Viereinhalb Monate nach dem Tod des österreichischen Rechtspopulisten Jörg Haider hat das von ihm gegründete rechte Bündnis Zukunft Österreich (BZÖ) einen triumphalen Sieg bei der Landtagswahl in Kärnten errungen. Das BZÖ kam nach einer stabilen Hochrechnung des ORF-Fernsehens vom Sonntagabend auf 45,6 Prozent der abgegebenen Stimmen.

Damit gewann die von Haider 2005 gegründete Partei sogar noch 3,2 Prozentpunkte dazu. Die rechtsgerichtete Freiheitliche Partei FPÖ, mit der Haider 2004 gewonnen hatte, verpasste mit rund 3,5 Prozent der abgegebenen Stimmen den Einzug in den Landtag. Haider hatte die FPÖ2005 nach innerparteilichen Querelen verlassen.

Ein schweres Debakel erlitten Kärntens Sozialdemokraten (SPÖ), denen Meinungsforscher kurz vor der Wahl noch ein Kopf-an-Kopf-Rennen mit dem BZÖ prognostiziert hatten. Die unter innerparteilichem Streit leidende Landespartei verlor mit 28,8 Prozent knapp 10 Prozentpunkte. Dagegen legte die konservative Volkspartei ÖVP mit 15,8 Prozent um 4,1 Punkte zu. BZÖ-Parteichef Uwe Scheuch sagte am Abend, der triumphale Sieg seiner Partei sei nicht allein ein Ergebnis des „Mitleid-Effekts“ der Bevölkerung. >>> dpa/fsl/lha | Sonntag, 1. März 2009

L'Iran pas "près d'avoir une arme" nucléaire, estime M. Gates
L’EXPRESS.fr: WASHINGTON - L'Iran n'est "pas près d'avoir une arme" nucléaire, a déclaré le secrétaire américain à la Défense Robert Gates, dans un entretien diffusé dimanche sur la chaîne NBC.

"Je pense qu'on s'est concentré de manière continue sur la manière d'amener les Iraniens à renoncer à un programme d'armement nucléaire. Ils ne sont pas près d'avoir des réserves (suffisantes). Ils ne sont pas près d'avoir une arme à ce stade", a déclaré le ministre dans cet entretien pré-enregistré. "Donc, nous avons du temps", a-t-il ajouté.

Il a estimé que la diplomatie avait de bonnes chances de succès maintenant que les prix du pétrole avaient baissé, renforçant l'efficacité des sanctions économiques contre Téhéran qui reposent essentiellement sur le revenu pétrolier. >>> AFP | Dimanche 01 Mars 2009

Liberty Groups Unite to Defend UK Rights
THE GUARDIAN: Writers, pop stars, lawyers and politicians from across the party spectrum yesterday issued a call to arms. They joined the largest ever campaign across Britain to warn of the erosion of freedoms and the emergence of surveillance techniques

The government and the courts are collaborating in slicing away freedoms and pushing Britain to the brink of becoming a "database" police state, a series of sold-out conferences in eight British cities heard yesterday.

In a day of speeches and discussions, academics, politicians, lawyers, writers, journalists and pop stars joined civil liberty campaigners yesterday to issue a call to arms for Britons to defend their democratic rights.

More than 1,500 people, paying £35 a ticket, attended the Convention on Modern Liberty in Bloomsbury, central London, which was linked by video to parallel events in Glasgow, Birmingham, Belfast, Bristol, Manchester, Cardiff and Cambridge. They heard from more than 80 speakers, including author Philip Pullman; musicians Brian Eno and Feargal Sharkey; journalists Fatima Bhutto, Andrew Gilligan, Nick Cohen and Guardian editor-in-chief Alan Rusbridger; politicians Lord Bingham and Dominic Grieve; a former director of public prosecutions, Ken Macdonald; and human rights lawyer Helena Kennedy.

In her speech Kennedy said she felt that fear was being used as a weapon to break down civil liberties. "There is a general feeling that in creating a climate of fear people have been writing a blank cheque to government. People feel the fear of terrorism is being used to take away a lot of rights."

She said that voters were anxious that their communities were 'being alienated' by the use of powers designed to protect national security being applied outside their original remit, and that there was now an open window of opportunity for the electorate to make their feelings known to government before the next election: "People are fearful of the general business of collecting too much information about individuals." >>> Tracy McVeigh, Chief Reporter | Sunday, March 1, 2009

THE OBSERVER: Modern Liberty Has Found Its Voice

It was never in a Labour manifesto that individual freedom should be surrendered in the interests of collective security. Nor was it written that society should submit itself to a blanket of surveillance by the state.

It was never announced as a political creed of the current government that trial by jury is an expensive inconvenience that modern democracies can, in certain circumstances, do without. Nor was it proclaimed that the principle of habeas corpus, that prohibits the crown from detaining a free individual without his or her knowing the charge, was redundant in the face of terrorist threats in the 21st century. And yet, one way or another, all of those views have been expressed in laws introduced by Labour since it came to power.

Whether by complacency, arrogance or cynical design, the government has erected an edifice of legal constraint to liberty that would suit the methods and aims of a despot. >>> Editorial | Sunday, March 1, 2009

Dubai Falls on Hard Times
NRC HANDELSBLAD: The wealthy Gulf state of Dubai has been hit hard by the global economic crisis. Tens of thousands of workers have been laid off and forced to return to their homelands. The Dutch community in Dubai is also feeling the pinch.

Jan Demmink has lived in Dubai for 28 years. It's the pleasant atmosphere, the entrepreneurial spirit and the climate that keep him in the Gulf state. He witnessed the transformation of what was once a tranquil and prosperous town into the vast collection of skyscrapers that makes up modern-day Dubai.

Under the leadership of Sheik Mohammed and his father Maktoum III, the emirate invested in the financial sector, tourism and real estate. The bigger, more expensive and more luxurious the better. Yet these are the very sectors that have been shaken to their foundations by the crisis and meanwhile Dubai has no major oil reserves to fall back on.

Financial nosedive

Jan Demmink works in the electronic security of complexes such as refineries, palaces and roads. His position is safe for the time being. "I work on long-running projects, so I have yet to feel the effects of the crisis," he explains. "But in construction you can see the signs already. A halt has been called to projects that were only started recently, or which have yet to get under way."

Dutch dredging company Van Oord is one of those in the firing line. The company hit the headlines worldwide with the construction of Palm Jumeirah, the first of Dubai's famous Palm islands and the construction of The World archipelago. Van Oord was all set to embark on a third island project, Palm Deira, an order worth 2.5 billion euros, the largest in the company's history. Part of the order has already been realised but the rest is on the back burner for the foreseeable future. The funding simply isn't there. Spokesman Bert Groothuizen says no one saw the rapid changes coming. "It was a nosedive. Especially in the fourth quarter of 2008. And I don't think these problems will be solved in six months' time." Expats Feeling the Economic Nosedive in Dubai >>> By Willemien Groot for Radio Netherlands Worldwide | Friday, February 27, 2009

Margaret
Drama charting Margaret Thatcher's astonishing fall from power, one of the most extraordinary stories of political assassination the world has seen. It took only eleven days for Thatcher to go from being the most powerful woman in the world to the tearful figure in the back of the car. A major tragedy in the true Shakespearean sense, in Margaret we watch a woman lose the one thing she really cares about - power - changing from leader to victim before our eyes.

12th November 1990: As Thatcher prepares for her speech at the Lord Mayor's banquet at the Guildhall, Geoffrey Howe, her quietly-spoken former foreign secretary and chancellor, pens the resignation speech that will stun the country and seal her fate. The next day Howe makes his lethal speech in the Houses of Parliament and the final ten days of Margaret Thatcher's reign begin. >>> Broadcast, February 26, 2009

Security Police Probe Södertälje Fires
THE LOCAL (SWEDEN): Three supermarkets were destroyed and a fourth damaged as a wave of arson attacks hit Södertälje in central Sweden in the early hours of Thursday morning.

Security police (Säpo) have been called in to investigate a connection between the attacks and an anti-US extreme left wing group.

"We have classified them all as arson and are working on the theory that they were started deliberately," said Kia Samrell at Södertälje police.

Police have not ruled out a connection to fires in the town in December which destroyed the Coop Forum and Ica Maxi supermarkets.

An extreme left wing group calling itself Global Intifada claimed responsibility for the December fires and according to reports in the Expressen newspaper, the two Willys stores destroyed on Thursday morning also received warnings from the group.

"We have not been able to confirm that the group were behind the December fires. But the investigation is not yet completed," underlined Kia Samrell.

Global Intifada, according to a Sveriges Radio report, has been responsible for dealing out leaflets in Södertälje encouraging the public to make Molotov Cocktails and use them on shops selling American products.

This threat, as yet unverified, has been communicated to the US Embassy in Sweden which considered it of sufficient importance to issue a statement confirming that it had been in contact with Södertälje police. The US authorities advised "caution while shopping and be attentive to suspicious behaviour".

The US Embassy was refusing to comment on Wednesday's attacks.

"As far as we're concerned it's a police matter," a spokesperson told The Local.

Commanding officer Lennart Sjöstrand is taking the events very seriously.

"Property worth millions has gone up in smoke," he concluded. >>> TT/Peter Vinthagen Simpson | Thursday, February 26, 2009

Livni refuse d'entrer au gouvernement Nétanyahou
LE FIGARO: Cette fois, c'est un non définitif : la chef du parti centriste Kadima a officiellement refusé de participer au gouvernement, laissant Benjamin Nétanyahou isolé pour former un nouveau cabinet.

Un non ferme et définitif. La chef du parti centriste Kadima, Tzipi Livni, a annoncé vendredi qu'elle refusait de participer au gouvernement dirigé par le premier ministre israélien de droite Benjamin Nétanyahou, à l'issue d'une rencontre organisée dans un grand hôtel de Tel Aviv. Un refus qui fait écho à celui du chef du parti travailliste et ministre sortant de la Défense, Ehoud Barak, exprimé le 23 février dernier.

La ministre sortante des Affaires étrangères Tzipi Livni avait déjà refusé une première fois, mais en laissant la porte ouverte et en acceptant une nouvelle rencontre avec Nétanyahou. Vendredi, elle a finalement décidé de couper court aux discussions en rejetant de façon ferme l'offre du chef du Likoud. >>> Flore Galaud (lefigaro.fr) avec AFP | Vendredi 27 Février 2009

Vatikan: Williamson-Entschuldigung unzureichend
SUEDEUTSCHE.DE: Der Vatikan hat die Entschuldigung des erzkonservativen Bischofs und Holocaust-Leugners Richard Williamson als unzureichend bezeichnet.

Der Vatikan hat die Entschuldigung des erzkonservativen Bischofs und Holocaust-Leugners Richard Williamson als unzureichend bezeichnet. Der Geistliche der Pius-Bruderschaft hatte am Donnerstag laut der katholischen Nachrichtenagentur Zenit erklärt: "Ich entschuldige mich vor Gott bei allen Seelen, die sich ehrlich über das empört haben, was ich gesagt habe."

"So, wie es aussieht, erfüllt (der Brief) nicht die Bedingungen, die das vatikanische Staatssekretariat gestellt hat", erklärte Vatikan-Sprecher Pater Federico Lombardi am Freitag in Rom.

Außerdem sei das Schreiben des britischen Traditionalisten weder an Papst Benedikt XVI. noch an die zuständige Päpstliche Kommission Ecclesia Dei gerichtet gewesen. Die mit den Traditionalisten befasste Kommission soll das Schreiben an eine Agentur weitergeleitet haben. Der Vatikan hatte von Williamson vor Wochen einen "absolut unmissverständlichen und öffentlichen Widerruf" seiner Holocaust-Leugnung verlangt. Dies bekräftigte er am heutigen Freitag noch einmal. >>> | Freitag, 27. Februar 2009

"Persönlich halte ich das für möglich, aber darüber muss diskutiert werden", sagte Pospisil. >>> dpa/sekr | Freitag, 27. Februar 2009

Ellison Expresses Concern and Disappointment with Decision to Screen Anti-Islamic Film
COMMONDREAMS.ORG: Takes Issue with sponsorship of film by Senator Kyl

WASHINGTON - Congressman Keith Ellison (D-MN) took issue with the screening of a film by the controversial Dutch Parliamentarian, Geert Wilders, in the United States Capitol. The film being screened, "Fitna", is said to compare Islamic terrorism to Nazism. The screening is sponsored by Senator John Kyl (R-AZ).

"I am a strong an advocate of First Amendment free speech. However, this is not about free speech, but rather an issue of propriety, timing and venue," Ellison said. "Senator Kyl has every right to host anyone he chooses, however it becomes a question of propriety to use the United States Capitol as a venue for the condemnation of an entire religion," Ellison said.

Mr. Wilders was denied entry by the British government because of his extremist views. A British Home Office spokesman stated: "The government opposes extremism in all its forms." The Dutch government has disavowed Mr. Wilders visit to this country and believes the release of this film "serves no purpose other than to cause offence." According to the London Telegraph, Wilders has stated that the Qu'ran should be banned.

Ellison further stated, "At a time when President Obama has said to the Muslim world, ‘We are ready to initiate a new partnership based on mutual respect and mutual interest,' the showing of a film that denigrates the faith of 1.4 billion of the world's citizens does not foster mutual respect or mutual interest.

At a time when the US should be providing renewed leadership for peace and more understanding between the west and the Muslim world, one has to question the wisdom and judgment of promoting a film that erroneously condemns an entire religion-especially in the US Capitol," Ellison concluded.

Die Pius-Brüder, ein Fall für den Verfassungsschutz
WELT ONLINE: Bischof Williamson sorgt mit seiner Holocaust-Leugnung weltweit für Kritik. Dabei war seine Äußerung nur die Spitze des Eisbergs. Denn die Pius-Brüder sind nicht nur ein religiöser Bund, sondern hochpolitisch: Der Deutschland-Chef des Ordens wettert gegen Demokratie und Wirtschaft und will die Todesstrafe.

Darf sich ein weltanschaulich neutraler Staat, darf sich eine Bundeskanzlerin in die inneren Angelegenheiten der katholischen Kirche oder auch anderer Glaubensgemeinschaften einmischen? Ja, der Staat muss es sogar tun, wenn es extremistische Tendenzen gibt – im Falle der Anhänger der Pius-Bruderschaft sind es trotz wortreicher theologischer Argumentationen rechtsradikale Positionen.

Auch wenn die katholische Kirche selbst gefordert ist – und unbestreitbar distanzieren sich alle deutschen Bischöfe von den Pius-Brüdern –, so handelt es sich nicht nur um ein theologisches, sondern vor allem um ein weltlich-politisches Problem. In der Auseinandersetzung mit dieser religiösen Gruppe stand bislang die Holocaust-Leugnung des Bischofs Williamson im Vordergrund. 



Doch wer sich die politischen Thesen von Franz Schmidberger, Chef der deutschen Pius-Bruderschaft, anschaut, wird erkennen, dass die judenfeindlichen Aussagen von Bischof Williamson nur die Spitze eines Eisberges darstellen. Die von Schmidberger in einer „Zeitschrift für das christliche Gemeinwesen“ niedergelegten „Grundsätze einer christlichen Gesellschaftsordnung“ offenbaren ein eindeutig antiplurales und antifreiheitliches Verständnis dieser katholischen Sekte.

Die Schmidberger-Grundsätze zeugen von einer bedenklichen politischen Gesinnung: Besonders problematisch ist die abstruse These von Schmidberger, dass es „legitime Regierungen“ gibt, „die nicht aus Wahlen hervorgegangen sind“. Demnach könnte eine Alleinherrschaft eine legitime Regierung sein, da es nicht auf die Zustimmung der Bevölkerung, sondern auf eine Anerkennung durch Gott selber ankomme. >>> Von Gerd Langguth* | Freitag, 27.

Doha-sur-Seine: ce Qatar qui aime la France
L’EXPRESS.fr: Pour le tourisme ou les affaires, les Qataris adorent Paris. Immobilier de luxe, opérations financières, sponsoring sportif... ils investissent la capitale.

L'hôtel d'Evreux (au centre), place Vendôme à Paris, a été acheté par l'émir du Qatar en 2003. Photo grâce à l’AFP
Un petit vent frisquet balaie les Champs-Elysées, cet après-midi de février. Emmitouflé dans une doudoune de marque, Fadi, 25 ans, fait quelques emplettes avec sa mère. Manteau long, foulard rehaussé de perles sur les cheveux, madame s'engouffre dans une boutique de luxe. "Nous sommes ici pour quelques jours, avec mes frères et soeurs, glisse le jeune homme. Nous descendons toujours au même hôtel, tout près d'ici." La conversation est rapidement interrompue par l'intervention d'un garde du corps, aux bras chargés de paquets. Une scène presque coutumière dans ce quartier chic: depuis quelques années, de nombreux ressortissants qataris, comme Fadi et sa famille, ont fait de Paris l'une de leurs destinations favorites. La Ville Lumière attire aussi bien les touristes fortunés que la famille de l'émir et les principaux groupes financiers du pays - ce qui revient parfois au même. Ces visiteurs, qui disposent de l'un des revenus par habitant les plus élevés au monde (48 900 euros par an), viennent goûter aux plaisirs de la culture, du luxe et du fameux "romantisme" made in France. Les hommes d'affaires, eux, investissent dans l'immobilier, l'hôtellerie quatre étoiles, le parrainage sportif, quand ils n'entrent pas dans le capital de grandes sociétés françaises. Alors que la Qatar Islamic Bank (QIB) doit ouvrir une succursale à Paris, l'année prochaine, quelques lieux privilégiés de l'Ouest parisien prennent déjà de faux airs de Doha-sur-Seine.

"Chez nous, les gens appellent les Champs-Elysées la ''route des Arabes du Golfe'", raconte, dans un français alerte, Talal, 21 ans, étudiant qatari en droit. L'été, les touristes de l'émirat prennent leurs quartiers dans les palaces voisins: George V, Fouquet's, Marriott, Crillon, etc. Dans ces établissements somptueux, où le prix d'une nuit peut atteindre 2500 euros, les clients bénéficient d'un confort et d'une confidentialité appréciables. "Ils se lèvent très tard, voire en début d'après-midi, car beaucoup d'entre eux sortent toute la nuit dans les cafés, restaurants et cabarets des alentours", confie l'employé d'un hôtel. >>> Par Boris Thiolay, Henri Haget, Olivier Saretta | Vendredi 27 Février 2009

Global Shares Dive as US Recession Deepens
TIMES ONLINE: Shares across the UK, America and Europe tumbled today after it emerged that the US economy shrank at the fastest rate since 1982 in the final three months of last year, far worse than the US Government had initially estimated.

Gross domestic product (GDP) fell at an annual rate of 6.2 per cent between October and December, above initial estimates of a 3.8 per cent decline during the fourth quarter of 2008.

In response, London's FTSE 100 index plunged further below the 4,000 level today, losing 127.35 points to 3,788.29 and America's Dow Jones industrial average fell 132.45 points to 7,049.63.

Investors in Germany and France also took fright - Frankfurt's Dax fell 4.1 per cent while French-listed stocks dropped 3.3 per cent to 2,654.52.

With President Obama's fiscal stimulus packages not expected to become effective until the second quarter of this year, Wall Street is expecting growth numbers for the current quarter of 2009 to be as bad as the last three months of 2008.

According to the new GDP numbers, the US economy actually contracted by 6.2 per cent - the worst showing in 27 years - at the end of last year because American exports plunged by more than expected and the US consumer stopped spending.

The worse than expected numbers show that the US economy is struggling to cope on two fronts - on one side, foreign markets have applied the brakes to buying US goods as their own economies plunge deeper into recession.

On the other front, Americans have become so anxious that they may also join the soaring numbers of unemployed that they have stopped spending on all but essential items such as food and petrol. >>> Grainne Gilmore | Friday, February 27, 2009

Populist Right Condemns ‘Islamisation’ of Norway
DAILY TIMES: OSLO: Norway’s leading opposition Progress Party slammed on Thursday what it termed the ‘gradual Islamisation’ of the country after an order allowing policewomen to wear the Islamic headscarf if they wished.



“We’ve hit bottom. Once again, we see an example of Norway and Norwegian society caving to the special demands of Muslims,” the populist party’s spokesman on immigration issues, Per Willy Amundsen, told news channel TV2 Nyhetskanalen.



“Sector by sector, Norway is adapting to Muslims instead of Muslims adapting to a country in which they, after all, have chosen to live of their own free will. I call that a gradual Islamisation of Norway,” he said. On Wednesday, Norway’s centre-left government announced that it would allow female police officers to wear the hijab if they wish. Several other European countries, including Sweden and Britain, have already allowed the wearing of religious headgear by their police officers.
