OPINION Question of the week: so what do you do with your rubbish?

Question of the week: so what do you do with your rubbish?

What do you do with your rubbish? Do you care what happens once it leaves your house? Should this be an important issue for politicians? That’s this week’s theme on Europa plus. One young Brit tells us what she thinks

What do the new member states have to offer?

The new member states should be asking less ‘what can Europe do for us?’ and more ‘what can we bring to the Union?’

What is the violence which destroys the monopoly of legitimate violence in a state of law?

The French soldier likes his French wine? And the Russian? Does he like Russian wine? What if the Russian State has effectively legitimised the rebellion of some of its citizens which is enacted in name of the right to life?

Not Whats wrong with the Euro?; but Why was the Euro made wrong?

The CaféBabel debate on Whats Wrong with the Euro managed to reflect and pre-empt an escalating debate in the real world of politics. With Romano Prodis recent admission that the Growth and Stability Pact, the rules covering Eurozone governments fiscal behaviour, is stupid, the CaféBabel debate has apparently uncovered a dilemma that lies at the heart of the Euro.

Slash your bonus wrists: what bankers want for christmas

Quite a remarkable christmas list found its way into my hands recently in France. 'Basically, Father Christmas, I just don’t know what more I can do to get decent payment for my hard work and the hard work of my brothers and sisters. That’s why I’m counting on you to change things.' At first glance, who would you assume these people were? Unemployed young people hit by the recession? Generation precarity? Underpaid interns?

What future for the Security Council?

Although there is a consensus about the need for Security Council reform, there is little agreement about the shape this will take. What's the role of the EU in the jungle of propositions and ambitions?

In Greece, remembering Alexis Grigoropoulos, 15, with riots

Since 6 December, millions of Greeks have been gathering in the country's streets in memory of the teenager who was killed by a policeman during the student revolts. Collisions between anarchists and 6, 000 police have resumed with renewed vigour. 'When will we listen to what the youngsters have to say?'

ANALYSIS What the fridge is the council of ministers?

What the fridge is the council of ministers?

Not to be confused with the European council, the council of ministers makes decisions which touch all member governments of the EU. But what do they really do?

Post elections: 'And that is what Poland is'

Post elections: 'And that is what Poland is'

Let's judge this quote from 'The Wedding', a Polish drama written by Stanisław Wyspiański in 1901, from the run-up to the parliamentary elections on 9 October. 'Poland is' - the world's only transsexual in parliament or a parliament in which the third major force is a party calling for the legalisation of soft drugs and prohibiting the presence of clergy during national ceremonies. Young Polish politicians looked like Angelina Jolie in Lodz or released viral campaign teasers by screaming out their pledges with the help of heavy metal bands. However the same ovations were not received for the official video promoting Poland's six-month presidency of the EU (think animated tango in 3D), even if it was created by one of the country's top directors. 'That’s not Poland' - so what is Poland then?

Elida Lyd Zylbeari It’s snowing in Macedonia. Houses, streets and life are covered in those white cold natures’ snowflakes. At first glance it’s lovely, having in mind the children laughter while playing with snow-balls or the fact that the snow covered all the imperfectness of urban life. On ...

No gashes in the Hofburg!

A bitterly cold night on the 27th of January saw thousands of people to gather to protest against the annual WKR Ball. Why demonstrate against a ball you ask? What’s wrong with a bunch of people not being able to waltz and wearing uncomfortable clothes?
