The Hunt for Moderate Voters: Will Geert Wilders Move toward the Center?
10 03 2010
Geert Wilders is known for his provocative positions on Islam and immigration. But the Dutch right-wing populist may moderate his rhetoric in the run-up to national elections in June, where his party is expected to do well. His rise, however, may ultimately end up benefiting left-wing parties.

The Balkans and international justice: Stand and deliver
05 03 2010
More arrests and court cases revive bad Balkan memories FROM one end of former Yugoslavia to the other, people are worrying about justice. On March 1st Radovan Karadzic, the former Bosnian Serb leader, opened his defence at his war-crimes trial in The Hague. British police arrested Ejup Ganic, a wartime Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim) leader, at Heathrow airport at the request of Serbia. And in Spain a Montenegrin alleged to have murdered and raped in Sarajevo during the war was arrested at the request of the Bosnians. Since the Karadzic arrest in 2008, only two Serbs have been left on the wanted list of The Hague war-crimes tribunal. The most important is Ratko Mladic, who led Bosnian Serb forces during the war and is believed to be hiding somewhere in Serbia. Serbia’s president, Boris Tadic, has been trying to persuade the Serbian parliament to pass a resolution to condemn and commemorate the murder of up to 8,000 Bosniaks by Bosnian Serb troops in Srebrenica in 1995. ...
The Icesave referendum: No, thanks
05 03 2010
The ramifications of a likely no vote may not be pleasant ICELAND’S president is usually an apolitical and little-known figurehead. But Olafur Ragnar Grimsson has become a national hero for his refusal to sign a law passed narrowly in late December by the Althingi, Iceland’s parliament, to repay Britain and the Netherlands. The British and Dutch governments had felt obliged to bail out their depositors in Icesave, a bust internet operation owned by Landsbanki, a failed Icelandic bank, and they now expect Iceland to reimburse them. But thanks to the president’s obduracy, the law is going to a referendum on March 6th, and it seems certain to be rejected by a huge majority. The voters and the president will doubtless rejoice, but the aftermath of a negative vote may not be good for either the country or its government. Johanna Sigurdardottir, the prime minister, leads a coalition that was shaky before the vote and could yet collapse altogether. Even more worrying is the knock-on effect for Iceland’s $4.6 billion IMF programme. The fund says that this should not depend on the Icesave dispute. But the Nordic countries that are offering bilateral loans in support of the IMF’s rescue package are refusing to go ahead. Without their backing, the IMF deal is frozen. The financial pressure is mounting. To satisfy its creditors, Iceland must find some $2 billion in 2011 and $500m in 2012. Moody’s has given warning that the dwindling chances of a deal over Icesave may lead it to join other rating agencies in downgrading Iceland’s debt to junk. ...
Correction: Dutch politics
05 03 2010
Last week's story on the Netherlands said that calls for a cordon sanitaire on Geert Wilders's Freedom Party would not go down well with the 10% of the voters who are foreign-born. It meant to say that isolating the party would not go down well with its many voters (very few of whom are foreign-born). Sorry. ...
