50 Years German Basic Law: A Lesson from Weimar
With the German Bundestag and Government moving from Bonn to Berlin, this summer a historic circle will be closed: German politics have returned to where they started in 1871, after the foundation of the Reich by Bismarck. Unlike Bonn, Berlin had been a symbol for some of the worst episodes in German history. But the city that paved the way to disaster was Weimar, the former cultural capital of Goethe and Schiller. In the year 1919 the Assembly of Weimar approved contemporarily the Constitution of Weimar and the opprobrious peace treaty of Versailles, thus laying the grounds for the first unlucky democratic experience in modern Geman history. Fortunately the Germans have learned from the catastrophe of the Weimar Republic and the Basic Law approved in May 1949 has proven a solid ground on which the new democracy in Bonn could establish a stable democratic culture. The achievements of the Basic Law will even guarantee the stability and reliability of the new Berlin Republic.

European Elections: Abstention and Shift to the Right
Due to political disaffection and distraction by the Kosovo conflict only 49 % of European voters found the way to the ballot box in the recent elections to the EU-Parliament held between June 10th and 13th. In most countries the voters used the occasion to chastise the Socialist parties in power. The biggest block in the Strasbourg parliament is now the European Popular Party which surpassed for the first time the Party of European Socialists. Good results obtained even the Liberals and especially the Green Parties, while the Communists suffered a major set-back. The next president of the EU-Commission, Romano Prodi, who is preparing to form the new European executive, must now consider the proposals of the Socialist national governments as well as the requests of the Popular majority block in the EU-Parliament. In September the new Commission must face a confidence vote in Strasbourg.
