Камерън: Фигура от 80-те години не може да решава проблемите на днешна Европа Руският президент Владимир Путин и британският премиер Дейвид Камерън ще разговарят на четири очи за кризата в Украйна, съюбщиха от Даунинг стрийт. Официалният говорител на премиера подчертта необходимостта от започването на диалог между руското правителство и новото украинско правителство след изборите миналата седмица в Украйна. Разговорите са насрочени ден след срещата на лидерите на Г-7 в Брюксел, които ще обсъждат анексирането на Крим от страна на Русия и напрегнатата обстановка в Източна Украйна. Срещата в белгийската столица бе насрочена, след като лидерите решиха да бойкотират планирания в Сочи форум на Г-8. Тони Блеър прикани проевропейските политици да приемат необходимостта от промяна и да помогнат на Евросъюза отново да се свърже с хората. Бившият британски премиер заяви, че пробивът на антиевропейските партии на изборите илюстрира "дълбоката тревога и отчуждението от институциите и философията на Европа". В произнесена в Лондон реч, Блеър каза, че Великобритания трябва да се съсредоточи върху изграждането на бъдещето на Европа, а не просто да предоговаря собственото си членство. Изявлението на бившия премер идва след победата на партията ЮКИП на Найджъл Фараж на евроизборите и продължаващите спорове около това кой трябва да оглави Европейската комисия. На Европейския съвет миналата седмица британският премиер Дейвид Камерън предупредил германския канцлер Ангела Меркел, че Великобритания може да напусне Евросъюза ако бишият премиер на Люксембург Жан-Клод Юнкер бъде избран за председател на Еврокомисията. Според публикация в германския вестник "Шпигел", Камерън е заявил, че фигура от 80-те години на 20в. не може да решава проблемите на Европа през следващите пет години. Той добавил, че референдумът за бъдещето на Великобритания в Евросъюза може да бъде произведен година по-рано от планираното, т. е. през 2016-та. Според Тони Блеър, евентуалното излизане на Великобритания от Евросъюза би било безумие, което би довело до отлив на инвестиции и до намаляване на британското геополитическо влияние.

Mr Blair's comments coincide with allegations that David Cameron is involved in politicking over who should become president of the European Commission. The implication is that if Britain disapproves of the next president it could leave the EU. But Mr Blair says the UK must focus on helping shape Europe’s future, which means remaining part of it. Delivering a speech to the Confederation of British Industry at the London Business School, Tony Blair said the victories by UKIP in the UK and the National Front in France in the recent European elections cannot be ignored. Mr Blair said such voting patterns represented a “deep anxiety, distrust and alienation from the institutions and core philosophy of Europe”. And that the debate about Europe must include the folly of Britain leaving the European Union. But Petros Fassoulas, chairman of the European Movement, an independent, all-party, grass-roots organisation, said Tony Blair missed a great opportunity when he was prime minister to educate Britain on the relevance of the EU. “A good place to start for people like Mr Tony Blair when he was a prime minister and indeed others is to constantly engage the electorate in a discussion about what the European Union needs and what it does, and what it means to be a member of it. “For far too long main stream political parties have ignored having this conversation, they avoided discussing Europe. They nationalised all the successes projects and Europeanised the challenges. “It is imperative that main stream parties have a honest dialogue - unfortunately, we are where we are today because they haven’t.” Tony Blair believes Britain has a great opportunity to be leaders in Europe, and at the same time promote reform. But Petrol Fassoulas says Mr Blair is a bit late. “I am a little bit concerned that Mr Tony Blair didn’t really do much to make sure the questions people had were addressed.” The former prime minister’s speech comes amid speculation that he is planning to become president of Europe…a job that has been tipped to go to former prime minister of Luxembourg, Jean-Claude Juncker. Meanwhile British Prime Minister David Cameron has been reported as saying that the UK could leave the EU if Luxembourg ex-PM Jean-Claude Juncker became president of the European Commission. Downing Street has not yet commented on Mr Cameron’s comments which were leaked to the German newspaper Der Speigel. However, David Cameron doesn’t have any say in who will be the head of the European Commission in Brussels – a post currently held by the former Portuguese Prime Minister, José Barroso. Here’s Petros Fassoulas “He can't. I don't think it's within his remit to veto any candidate; the whole idea of the EU is that decisions are made on consensus. Mr Cameron launching into threats and giving ultimatums doesn’t help the process; we need constructive engagement, to provide the solutions for Europe.” Mr Juncker has meanwhile told a German newspaper that his opponents should not be allowed to "blackmail" the EU. Robert Oulds, the director the Bruges Group, a neoliberal think tank, told VoR: “David Cameron needs to demonstrate to the British public against further integration that he can have some victory and is choosing to make the job as president one of his totem issues.” Robert Oulds says David Cameron is playing a risky game just to win political points. “He does not have a veto -it’s decided by qualified voting, the commission is unelected yet it has the sole right to initially legislate. Whoever is the president has a great power to do what they want to do. “If this does goes through, he doesn’t have a veto, Germany has more influence than we do, and his is a risky strategy.” Finishing his key note speech, Tony Blair insisted the debate was about the future of European nations – and not a dispute over the power of the Brussels bureaucracy - and will define Britain for generations to come. According to The Times which published the speech, Mr Blair is not hoping to secure a formal role in Brussels.
