The Dutch just showed the world how Russia influences Western European elections - The Washington Post
Keywords:
Tags: France, Germany, European Union,
Anne Applebaum of the WP describes the effect of a Dutch referendum on a 2014 European Union trade and cooperation treaty with Ukraine which taps into Dutch anti-immigrant sentiment of right wing parties and anti-corruption sentiment of left wing parties. It passed with a two thirds majority and 32 % of people voting. Applebaum says the centre right government in the Netherlands has not commented on the referendum which is "consultative." She says officials in the Dutch government told her they did not want to become the focus of anti-government sentiment in the media, because of the small majority in parliament.

The EU's loan and grants package of $15 billion to Ukraine in March 2014

For Ukraine the crisis has one positive aspect of assistance on better terms and prospect of recovery under guidance from the EU, and possibly the IMF. Before the crisis the EU faced with its own financial difficulties in the eurozone was reluctant to commit large scale assistance. A pro-western government in Kiev dependent on the EU, makes it easier for the EU to design the package so that the assistance works, and necessary conditions are provided by the Ukrainian government. Previous administrations in Kiev were mired in corruption, mismanagement of the economy, and Russian meddling or pressure, which the new government has the chance to avoid this time. Long term this could also offer the prospect of Ukraine- without the Russian speaking Crimea- joining the European Union.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
