Wien: Neue Realitäten

Sowohl die Landes- als auch die Bundesregierung in Wien sehen sich neuen Realitäten gegenüber

Fünf Wochen nach der Wien-Wahl sind die Koalitionsgespräche zu einem Ergebnis gekommen. Wien bekommt eine ganz neue Regierung. Das Attentat am 2. November in der Innenstadt von Wien führt zu einer Debatte über die Zusammenarbeit der Behörden. Anders als im Frühjahr halten sich die Corona-Infektionszahlen in Österreich hartnäckig oben. Das Regieren wird mühsamer.

Die andere Pandemie: Wie Perus institutionelle Krise das Land ins politische Chaos stürzte

Zehntausende Peruaner protestieren

Zehntausende Peruaner versammelten sich in den letzten Tagen auf den Straßen, um gegen die neue Regierung und die politische Klasse zu demonstrieren. Auslöser war die Entscheidung des Kongresses, den Präsidenten des Landes Martín Vizcarra abzusetzen, der durch den Kongressvorsitzenden Manuel Merino ersetzt wurde. Die Amtsenthebung war in formeller Hinsicht zwar legal, stellt jedoch in Frage, inwieweit das demokratische Mandat der Bürger respektiert wird, die von den verheerenden Folgen der COVID-19-Pandemie hart getroffen wurden. Auf den Straßen der Hauptstadt Limas kam es während mehrerer Demonstrationen zu gewalttätigen Ausschreitungen; es gab über hundert Verletzte von denen zwei junge Männer starben. Der vorübergehende Präsident Merino ist aufgrund des politischen Drucks am Folgetag zurückgetreten. Aktuell steht Peru mit der Wahl von Francisco Sagasti durch den Kongress vor seinem dritten Präsidenten innerhalb von einer Woche. Die Erwartungen an Sagasti sind gewaltig: es liegt an ihm, das Land aus der politischen Krise zu führen.

ASSESSING THE CURRENT SITUATION OF THE INDEPENDENCE OF THE JUDICIARY IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA

Despite the concept of the independence of the judiciary being integral to the doctrine of separation of powers, the judiciary is perceived as the weakest institution among the three arms of government in most Sub Saharan African countries. The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic has only served to exacerbate interference with the justice machinery and in so doing hindered the independence of the judiciary.

Política por inteiro - Analysis

Monitoring of Brazilian environmental policy

The "Política por Inteiro" project, with support from the Konrad Adenauer Foundation in Brazil, launches another outlook of the signals detected in the monitoring of Brazilian environmental policy. "Política por Inteiro" aims to provide a reliable, recurring and comparable data base on public policy signals and propositions in the environmental area in a "friendly" format and with credible data, and that creates a common "memory" about national decisions. Through the monitoring of government actions and rhetoric, systematic analysis of the situation and associated risks and the production and dissemination of information, it is intended to provide a tool to identify signals, interpret trends and consolidate them in an aggregate manner, using data science to inform citizens, advocacy networks and decision makers themselves. Every month there are also online events for the analysis of the situation. The October outlook is available at the link below and the Conjunturas e Riscos event is available on the "Política por Inteiro" channel on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/politicaporinteiro) - as well as the next ones to be held. For more information and full access to the monitoring platform, visit the project website: https://www.politicaporinteiro.org/
