EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The Vienna-based pro-democracy club, the OSCE, plans to send teams of experts to look into preparations for EU elections but not to oversee actual voting on 4 to 7 June. Three man-strong teams of experts are to visit 14 member states for about one week ahead of the vote to look at campaigning activity and technical issues, such as registering foreign EU-nationals as voters. The EP has launched a billboard campaign around the EU to try to boost voter turnout The OSCE decision on Thursday (23 April) noted that, with 375 million eligible voters, the EU poll will be the "largest single electoral event" on OSCE territory, but said "available human and financial resources" dictate a small-scale approach. An OSCE exploratory mission to Brussels in April came away with two worries after talking to MEPs, EU diplomats and the European Commission, but not the European Parliament administration, which "regrettably" declined a meeting.

L'UMP semble vouloir commencer à se lancer dans la campagne des européennes de Juin 2009. Enfin. Et se dote d'un slogan tout beau, tout neuf, tout propre : "Quand L'Europe veut, l'Europe peut". "Quand L'Europe veut, l'Europe peut", en soit le slogan de l'UMP n'est pas si mal choisit. Efficace, très compréhensible. Seulement sur le fond, on pourrait se demande : mais que veut l'Europe ? Et déjà, avant de savoir ce que veut l'Europe, qu'est-ce que l'Europe ? Cette phrase comment également une grossière erreur : on oublie les citoyens, les Européens. Avant de savoir ce que l'Europe veut, il serait primordial de savoir ce que les Européennes et les Européens attendent de l'Europe.Deuxième incompréhension de cette affiche : Nicolas Sarkozy. Nicolas Sarkozy qui, à ce jour, n'est pas candidat aux élections europénnes du 7 Juin 2009. L'UMP décide donc de faire de ce scrutin un referendum pour ou contre la politique du Président de la République. Dommage, l'Europe attendra. A croire que la politique européenne de l'UMP se limiterait aux actions de Sarkozy lors de la Présidence française de l'Union Europénne. Un peu léger.
