“늘 그래 왔듯 이재명 대표와 긴밀히 소통하면서 일하겠다.”(우원식 의원) “국회 운영에서 기계적 중립이 아니라 민심을 중심에 둔 운영을 해줄 것으로 믿는다.”(이재명 대표) 22대 국회 전반기 국회의장 후보로 선출된 더불어민주당 우원식 의원은 16일 당선 직후 이재명 대표와 만나 철저한 협력 관계를 약속했다. 우 의원은 “민심에 맞지 않게 흘러간다면 국회 대표로서 국회법에서 규정하는 국회의장의 권한을 최대한 살려 나가는 것도 살피겠다”며 “특히 이 대표와 함께 꿈꿔 온 기본사회라는 비전이 대한민국의 미래가 될 수 있도록 의장으로서 지원을 아끼지 않을 생각”이라고 했다. 이 대표의 입법 지원을 약속한 것. 이에 이 대표는 “행정부가 일방적으로 폭주, 퇴행하면서 우리 국민들의 삶이 무너지고 있다”며 “국회가 더 전면에 나서 3부의 한 축으로서 국정의 횡포와 역주행을 막아 달라”고 당부했다. 우 의원은 이날 당선 직후 수락 인사에서도 여야 합의 관행을 중시했던 기존 의장들과 다른 행

북한이 동서로 248km에 달하는 휴전선(군사분계선·MDL) 북측 지역에 지뢰 매설 작전을 진행 중인 것으로 확인됐다. 하루에 많게는 병력 수천 명과 굴착기 등 중장비까지 비무장지대(DMZ)에 대거 투입해 작업하고 있다는 것. 북한은 주요 축선(軸線·남북이 공격 및 방어 작전을 수행할 때 쓰는 휴전선 일대 접근 통로)을 중심으로 지뢰를 매설하는 것은 물론 철조망, 신규 감시초소(GP) 등 각종 구조물까지 설치 중인 것으로 전해졌다. 휴전선 일대에서 전방위적으로 이런 조치가 이뤄지는 건 정전협정이 체결된 1953년 이후 처음이다. 16일 복수의 정부 소식통에 따르면 북한군은 지난달부터 하루에 수백∼수천 명에 달하는 병력을 휴전선 일대에 투입해 지뢰를 매설하고 있다. 매설 지역은 강원 고성 일대 등을 접한 동해안 축선부터 철원·경기 연천 등에 접한 중부전선 축선의 북측 지역이다. 최근에는 지뢰 매설 범위를 서부전선 축선 북측 지역까지 확대해 사실상 6·25전쟁 때 형성된 전 전선에 걸

22대 국회 전반기 국회의장 후보로 더불어민주당 우원식 의원(5선·서울 노원갑)이 선출됐다. ‘명심’(이재명 대표의 의중)이 자신에게 있다고 공공연히 밝히며 강성 당원들의 전폭적 지지 속에 ‘어의추’(어차피 의장은 추미애)라는 말까지 만들어 냈던 6선 추미애 당선인(경기 하남갑)을 꺾는 이변이 일어난 것. 당내에서는 “‘강성 일변도’를 외친 추 당선인에 대한 의원들의 ‘비토’ 정서가 커진 것” “원내대표에 이어 국회의장까지 ‘명심’에 좌우되면 오히려 이 대표에게 부담을 줄 수 있다는 우려에 제동이 걸린 것”이라는 해석이 나왔다. 16일 국회 의원회관에서 치러진 민주당 국회의장 후보 경선에서 우 의원은 22대 당선인 171명 중 투표에 참여한 169명으로부터 89표를 받아 과반 득표에 성공했다. 추 당선인은 80표를 얻었다. 예상을 뒤엎은 결과에 ‘초강성 의장’을 공약한 추 당선인에 대한 의원들의 반감이 가장 크게 영향을 미쳤다는 해석이 당내에서 나왔다. 특히 강성 친명계가 앞장서 의

This briefing discusses the issue of the 'Europeanisation' of the ballot papers in Member States ahead of the 2024 European Parliament elections. The European Parliament has made two recent attempts at electoral reform seeking to 'Europeanise the European elections. The second of these – still to be agreed with the Council – seeks to align electoral rules across the EU Member States. With the 2024 European elections imminent, it is useful to take a closer look at the rules as they currently stand. The focus of this briefing is the notion of the 'Europeanisation' of the electoral ballot in its narrowest sense, namely whether ballot papers used in each Member State for the European Parliament elections can include the logos and/or names of the European political parties to which the respective national political parties are affiliated. This exploration of the issue of the visibility of European political parties on the ballot papers for European elections is broken down into three parts. The first is the rationale behind and progress in the 'Europeanisation' of the European electoral process, with a particular focus on reforms geared towards showing the affiliation of national parties to European political parties on the ballot paper. The EU institutions have taken several initiatives intended to inject mutual European features into the national political processes ahead of the elections to the European Parliament. The second is a discussion of the data on European features of national ballot papers for the 2014 and 2019 European Parliament elections. The third part analyses the current state of ballot papers in all Member States, i.e. those applicable to the 2024 European elections, examining the extent to which Member States allow or forbid the visibility of European political party logos and/or names on the ballot paper for the European elections. This last section includes a synopsis of the similarities and differences between Member States. Source : © European Union, 2024 - EP

With no end in sight to the war in Ukraine, the EU has started preparing for the post March 2025 period, when temporary protection for displaced people from Ukraine ends. The Temporary Protection Directive – triggered for the first time ever in March 2022, shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine – has enabled EU Member States to offer assistance and rights to people in need of immediate protection. In principle, once the temporary protection period ends, the general laws on protection and on non-EU nationals in Member States will apply, including on return. Yet, there is a general fear that when large numbers of beneficiaries of temporary protection suddenly start seeking international protection, asylum systems risk being overwhelmed. Moreover, uncertainty about temporary protection beneficiaries' legal status might place them in a legal limbo, with potential periods of irregular residence owing to slow processing of applications for international protection. Moreover, even if eligible for refugee or subsidiary protection status, beneficiaries will not enjoy the same rights as under the Temporary Protection Directive. Academics and organisations dealing with migration management therefore agree on the urgency of finding a solution that would ensure a smooth transition out of the temporary protection regime and encourage eventual return to Ukraine. However, with the European elections taking place in June, the timing may not be ideal to amend existing EU legislation or craft new EU laws, as the legislative work in the European institutions will temporarily be put on hold. Moreover, a newly composed European Parliament and European Commission, as well as a new rotating presidency of the Council of the EU as from July, might also complicate decision-making. This briefing provides an overview of the potential exit strategies discussed by experts in the field, including the pros and cons of the most widely discussed options.

Digital finance can broadly be defined as financial services and instruments that use or are based on new information and communication technologies (ICT). A wide range of segments of the financial system are therefore concerned, from digital payment services to the new market infrastructures of crypto-assets using distributed ledger technologies (DLT). Policymakers expect digital finance to benefit the financial system – for example, in terms of transaction and settlement costs, as well as financial inclusion. However, digital finance also poses new risks, especially for financial stability and the protection of citizens. The idea behind the EU regulatory approach is that by providing a sound regulatory framework, homogenous throughout the EU, these risks can be monitored and controlled, while also favouring the desired innovation. To that end, the European Commission, together with the European supervisory authorities and the European Central Bank, conduct regular reviews of the EU regulatory framework and check its ability to face these risks and the potential needs for intervention. In 2020, the Commission tabled a major digital finance strategy to provide a sound, EU-level regulatory and supervisory framework in a number of digital finance domains. The EU has already adopted new laws resulting from this initiative. The Regulation on Markets in Crypto-assets is establishing a new legal environment for DLT-based 'coins' with a stable value ('stablecoins'); another regulation will provide a framework for the monitoring and control of digital operational resilience for the financial sector. More legislative procedures are ongoing in the fields of open finance and the digital euro. New directions are being suggested, such as the establishment of a 'unified ledger', to smoothen transfers between instruments using different DLT market infrastructure.

Rusijos prezidentas Vladimiras Putinas nusprendė pakeisti gynybos ministrą Sergejų Šoigu. Jo pareigas užims ekonomistas ir pirmasis vicepremjeras Andrejus Belousovas, o S. Šoigu pakeis įtakingą saugumo sluoksniuose Nikolajų Patruševą, vadovavusį Saugumo tarybai. Visai neseniai iš posto buvo atleistas ir korupcija įtariamas S. Šoigu pavaduotojas. Žinių radijo laidoje „Dienos klausimas“ kalbinti ekspertai sutiko, jog pokyčiai nurodo siekį ilgam karui ir konfrontacijai.

Už korupciją teistas advokatas Albertas Kučinskas pirmosios instancijos teisme buvo išsikovojęs daugiau nei 100 tūkst. eurų kompensaciją, nes jį persekioję pareigūnai esą padarė daugybę pažeidimų. Tačiau ketvirtadienį Kauno apygardos teismas, išnagrinėjęs apeliacinį skundą šioje byloje, nusprendė kitaip ir konstatavo, kad beveik visi advokato atžvilgiu atlikti prokuratūros veiksmai buvo teisėti. Be to, teismas, priešingai nei pirmojoje instancijoje, konstatavo, kad jokių pažeidimų nepadarė prokuroras Justas Laucius, visi jo veiksmai buvo teisėti.
