(25 June 2023) Turkish President Erdogan has been confirmed to office, and the Turkish community in Germany has made a disproportionate contribution to this result. At first glance, this may appear surprising because the people in question are predominantly second- or third-generation residents of Germany, but they have now made a national Turkish-Islamic pledge. So, while German politicians speak idealistic words about integration on all festive and holiday occasions, the majority of Turks residing in their local communities, retain a strong sense or their Turkish identity.

(25 June 2023) In the United States, eminent former national security experts have written an open letter to President Biden and members of Congress, calling for every effort to be made to put an end to the war in Ukraine through diplomacy.

by Ivan Hoffman,* Czech Republic
(13 June 2023) (Edit. Globalbridge.ch) Well-known Czech publicist Ivan Hoffman – dissident under socialism, after 1989 working for “Radio Free Europe” for several years, then journalist, editor and presenter on Czech state radio – has written a short commentary on the current EU policy. Ivan Hoffman hits the mark with it, and his commentary should therefore also be read in German-speaking Europe. (cm)
