The Rise of Europe's Social Democrats Explained - TLDR News
For a while, it looked like Europe was headed down a distinctly right-wing path, with center-right candidates winning elections across the continent and the moderate left (the so-called Social Democrats) on the decline. However, these trends seem to be changing. So in this video, we examine the fall and rise of the Social Democrats in Europe and what it tells us about Europe's political future.

(3 Jun 2018) Slovenian voters go to the polls June 3rd in a parliamentary election expected to produce no clear winner but which could see strong gains by an anti-immigrant party backed by Hungary's firebrand prime minister, Viktor Orban.
June 3rd's vote is formally a snap ballot called a few weeks earlier than the regular four-year span following the sudden resignation in March of outgoing Prime Minister Miro Cerar over a failed railway project.
It pits former Prime Minister Janez Jansa's right-wing opposition Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS) against a new party led by an ex-comedian and several moderate groups from the outgoing ruling coalition.
The latest opinion polls predict Jansa's SDS could get around 25 percent of the votes, followed by the former satirist Marjan Sarec's List, t...

TWO CORRECTIONs: at 4 min 30 sec I say the remaining 4, it should have been remaining 6 and 15 min 23 sec I say the NSI was formed as a break off of the Slovenian national party. I actually was supposed to say the Slovenian People’s Party but miswrote the wrong party in the script.

9. Various of Brglez with wife walking away
STORYLINE:
MEP Milan Brglez, one of top three candidates in Slovenia's presidential election held on Sunday, cast his ballot at a polling station in the town of Logatec, 20 kilometers southwest from capital Ljubljana.
Brglez, backed by the Social Democrats and their ruling center-left coalition, is one of the three main contenders in the race to replace the incumbent centrist Borut Pahor, who is nearing the end of his second five-year term and is ineligible to run again.
After casting his vote in Logatec, he told reporters he expected to go into the runoff and invited the public to participate in the election "otherwise others will decide for you, and you may regret it later", he said.
Though the presidency is largely ceremonial in Slovenia, Sunday's vote is seen as a test for its liberal government, in power since April, amid a soaring crisis fueled by the war in Ukraine.
A right-wing populist opposition politician, former foreign minister, Anze Logar, has led pre-election polls but none of the contenders appears set to win more than half of the ballots.
This means a runoff vote likely will be held in three weeks featuring the two best-placed candidates.
Latest surveys put Logar on 30%, followed by centrist independent candidate Natasa Pirc Musar with around 20% and the government-backed member of European Parliament Brglez with 17%.

In the runup to the 2008 parliamentary election the LDS joined in an unofficial coalition with the Social Democrats and Zares, but lost nearly 80% of its seats, dropping from 23 to just 5 and becoming the smallest parliamentary party. In the 2011 parliamentary election on 4 December 2011, its support collapsed even further: it won only 1.48% of the vote, not reaching the parliamentary threshold of 4%.

(3 Jun 2018) Slovenian voters go to the polls June 3rd in a parliamentary election expected to produce no clear winner but which could see strong gains by an anti-immigrant party backed by Hungary's firebrand prime minister, Viktor Orban.
June 3rd's vote is formally a snap ballot called a few weeks earlier than the regular four-year span following the sudden resignation in March of outgoing Prime Minister Miro Cerar over a failed railway project.
It pits former Prime Minister Janez Jansa's right-wing opposition Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS) against a new party led by an ex-comedian and several moderate groups from the outgoing ruling coalition.
The latest opinion polls predict Jansa's SDS could get around 25 percent of the votes, followed by the former satirist Marjan Sarec's List, the Social Democrats and Cerar's Modern Centre Party (SMC).
But none of the parties are expected to gain an absolute majority in the 90-member parliament, which means that post-election negotiations for a coalition government are likely after the balloting.
Jansa's rising popularity is seen as a reflection of a wider surge in right-wing populism sweeping central and eastern Europe amid the influx into Europe of migrants from the Middle East and Africa.
Jansa, who has twice served as prime minister and spent months in jail on corruption allegations, has been stoking immigration fears.
His campaign posters featured a stop sign for immigrants. Orban, Europe's chief immigration opponent, was a guest at an election rally.
"Security is Slovenia's biggest challenge," Jansa declared, insisting it is Slovenia's job to protect the European Union's border-free Schengen zone from the mass entry of migrants like in 2015, when a million migrants reached Europe.
Some 500,000 migrants passed through Slovenia on their way to western Europe in 2015. The flow eased in part when countries along the so-called Balkan route beefed up border controls.
In Hungary, Orban put up two rows of razor-wire fences on the country's southern borders and toughened immigration laws, drawing fierce criticism from EU officials.
Jansa's hard-line rhetoric and his links to Orban have fueled fears that Slovenia, a traditionally moderate nation, could shift right like Hungary and Poland.
Analysts, however, believe that, despite being the front-runner, Jansa won't be able to return to power. More likely, other groups will form a coalition and keep him out of government.
Analyst Andraz Zorko said Jansa's party had made immigration the focus of the campaign, sidelining issues like the economy or living standards which have boomed during Cerar's term.
The SDS has "good financial backup, many say money is coming from Hungary, from their allies there," he said.
Cerar also has urged Slovenia to remain an open European democracy. Cerar praised the results of his government which has averted the economic downturn since coming to power after 2014 election.
"We have paved the way for a successful Slovenia, we had very good results, we want to do more for people," Cerar told the Associated Press.
"I wish voters would think how it was in 2014, who brought us to that crisis ... and to whom they will give their vote."
Sarec, whose List of Marjan Sarec is polling at around 15 percent of the vote, gave up an acting career to become mayor of the northwestern town of Kamnik and ran for the presidency last year.
He has gained popularity as an anti-establishment figure pledging to shake up the mainstream political scene.
***
***
The next closest party, the List of Marjan Sarec, had about 12 percent.

The SDS has "good financial backup, many say money is coming from Hungary, from their allies there," he said.
Cerar also has urged Slovenia to remain an open European democracy. Cerar praised the results of his government which has averted the economic downturn since coming to power after 2014 election.
"We have paved the way for a successful Slovenia, we had very good results, we want to do more for people," Cerar told the Associated Press.
"I wish voters would think how it was in 2014, who brought us to that crisis ... and to whom they will give their vote."
Sarec, whose List of Marjan Sarec is polling at around 15 percent of the vote, gave up an acting career to become mayor of the northwestern town of Kamnik and ran for the presidency last year.
He has gained popularity as an anti-establishment figure pledging to shake up the mainstream political scene.

The next closest party, the List of Marjan Sarec, had about 12 percent.

TWO CORRECTIONs: at 4 min 30 sec I say the remaining 4, it should have been remaining 6 and 15 min 23 sec I say the NSI was formed as a break off of the Slovenian national party.

4. Robert Golob, leader of Freedom Movement, giving a short speech via video link
5. SOUNDBITE (Slovenian) Marta Kos, Deputy Leader of Freedom Movement party:
"Not only did the Freedom Movement win today - today is a victory for our democracy. Citizens with high voter turnout have proven that we are aware of the right and duty to vote, and we are aware of the responsibility to have an impact on what will happen in the future.

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Urska Klakocar Zupancic, Deputy Leader of Freedom Movement party:
"We are very glad that we achieved this result. Of course, we have to wait for the official results, but I think that people of Slovenia have given the message what they want. They want a different country, they want a democratic country with the rule of law and respect to everyone. Our first steps, of course, today we celebrate, but tomorrow is a new day and a huge responsibility that has been given to us to build a free, democratic country where all the needs of the people will be met."

12. SOUNDBITE (English) Jure Poglajen, Freedom Movement party supporter:
"I think it is quite obvious that Slovenia has enough of Jansa (Janez Jansa, Prime Minister of Slovenia), Slovenia has enough of illiberal democracy. Democracy, as it was said before, is only one, so we want to breathe and live our still young democracy."
++ENDS ON SOUNDBITE++
STORYLINE:
Exit polls in Slovenia's parliamentary election on Sunday suggested an opposition liberal party won by a landslide, dealing a major defeat to populist Prime Minister Janez Jansa, who was accused of pushing the small European Union country to the right while in office.
The polls conducted by the Mediana polling agency and published by public broadcaster TV Slovenia and commercial Pop TV, showed that opposition Freedom Movement won 35.8% support compared with the ruling conservative Slovenian Democratic Party with 22.5%,
Trailing behind the top two contenders were the New Slovenia party with 6.8%, followed by the Social Democrats with 6.6% and the Left party with 4.4%.
The polls have proven reliable in the past.
If confirmed in an official tally, the result means that the Freedom Movement, a newcomer in the election, stands likely to form the next government in a coalition with smaller center-left groups.
Party leader Robert Golob addressed supporters via a video message from his home because he has COVID-19.
Golob, a US-educated former business executive, came out as a frontrunner shortly after entering the political scene.

"We are ready to work for the common good in Slovenia, whether we are in the government or in the opposition."
7. Jansa leaving news conference
STORYLINE:
An opposition liberal party convincingly won Sunday's parliamentary election in Slovenia, according to early official results, in a major defeat for populist Prime Minister Janez Jansa, who was accused of pushing the small European Union country to the right while in office.
The Freedom Movement won nearly 34% of the votes, compared with around 24% for the governing conservative Slovenian Democratic Party, state election authorities said after counting over 97% of the ballots.
Trailing behind the top two contenders were the New Slovenia party with 7%, followed by the Social Democrats with more than 6% and the Left party with 4%.
The results mean that the Freedom Movement, a newcomer in the election, appears set to form the next government in a coalition with smaller leftist groups.
The party leader addressed supporters via a video message from his home because he has COVID-19.
Jansa, an ally of right-wing Prime Minister Viktor Orban of Hungary, congratulated the “relative winner” of the election in a speech.
A veteran politician, Jansa became prime minister a little over two years ago after the previous liberal premier resigned.
An admirer of former US President Donald Trump, Jansa had pushed the country toward right-wing populism since taking over at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Reflecting strong interest in Sunday's election, turnout was higher than usual - around 67% of Slovenia's 1.7 million voters cast their ballot, compared with 52% in the previous election in 2018.

STORYLINE
Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Jansa's Slovene Democratic Party is facing opposition Social Democrat party in parliamentary elections on Sunday.
Jansa faces criticism that he runs Slovenia with an iron hand, and he's struggling to stay in power ahead of Sunday.
His centre-right coalition took power in 2004, replacing the Liberals that ruled this ex-Yugoslav country of 2 (m) million ever since its 1991 independence.
The Slovene Democratic Party is getting about 30-35 percent of support in recent surveys, more than it got in 2004, but this time, the opposition Social Democrats are just behind.
And, the Social Democrats are certain to team up with two other leftist parties after the vote, while Jansa's traditional allies are standing badly in polls.
He could end up wooing the Pensioners' Party or even a nationalist, Zmago Jelincic, to get majority in parliament and form a new Cabinet.
The Western course of Slovenia, a member of the European Union and NATO since 2004, which uses the euro and headed the EU's rotating presidency earlier this year, is not in question.
Jansa's critics say it's democracy that is at stake.
Ervin Hladnik, a political analyst, said that "there is no doubt that the European story of the Slovenian society was a success. Another question is which political forces should benefit from this success."
Jansa, 50, has repeatedly rejected criticism, insisting that his political opponents are fabricating accusations to try to blemish him.
Jansa has been fairly popular since late 1980's, while Slovenia was still a part of the communist-run Yugoslavia, when he, then a journalist, was jailed for publishing documents the army deemed confidential.
His case triggered mass protests, seen as awakening of democracy in Slovenia.
His opponents say he is now stepping over some of the pillars of democracy, seizing virtual control over politics, judiciary, police, media and economy.

The Challenge of Democratic Renewal | Carl Gershman Democracy Symposium
Around the globe, the struggle for democracy is in full-swing. In countries like Cuba and Belarus, courageous citizens are protesting against longtime authoritarian regimes. Formerly solid democracies like Hungary and Turkey are witnessing the rapid erosion of democratic rights and institutions. While democratic progress is seen in places like Moldova and Zambia, authoritarian powers—most notably China and Russia—repress rights movements and political opposition at home, and simultaneously reach beyond their borders to exert influence and undermine democracies. This year, Freedom House’s annual survey, Freedom in the World 2021, documented the 13th straight year of democratic decline.

Around the globe, the struggle for democracy is in full-swing. In countries like Cuba and Belarus, courageous citizens are protesting against longtime authoritarian regimes. Formerly solid democracies like Hungary and Turkey are witnessing the rapid erosion of democratic rights and institutions. While democratic progress is seen in places like Moldova and Zambia, authoritarian powers—most notably China and Russia—repress rights movements and political opposition at home, and simultaneously reach beyond their borders to exert influence and undermine democracies. This year, Freedom House’s annual survey, Freedom in the World 2021, documented the 13th straight year of democratic decline.
Since 1984, the National Endowment for Democracy has provided support to thousands of grassroots efforts in more than 100 countries to advance and strengthen democratic rights, values, and institutions – work that is increasingly important in this challenging environment of authoritarian resurgence. For 37 years, NED’s founding President Carl Gershman, who retired in July 2021, led the development of the Endowment from small grant making start-up to the thriving institution it is today – America’s flagship democracy foundation, making nearly 2000 grants each year, and serving as a leading center for democratic thought and action.
To honor Carl Gershman’s service, we invite you to join us for a symposium that will engage leading thinkers about how to confront these challenges to democracy as well as frontline activists who will share with us their insights from the day-to-day fight for freedom worldwide.

The National Endowment for Democracy is a private, nonprofit foundation dedicated to the growth and strengthening of democratic institutions around the world.

A Battle of Narratives: Building Public Support for Democratic Renewal
To celebrate the International Day of Democracy 2020, the World Movement for Democracy and International IDEA, with the support of the National Endowment for Democracy, hosted a conversation with experts and democracy activists to develop arguments supporting democracy that will appeal to people across regions, cultures, and generations.

“The COVID-19 pandemic threatens more than the lives and the livelihoods of people throughout the world. It is also a political crisis that threatens the future of liberal democracy,” says a Call to Defend Democracy which was recently signed by more than 500 political and civil leaders, Nobel Laureates, and pro-democracy institutions. Many governments around the world are using the global health crisis to silence critics, stifle the free flow of reliable information, escalate their disinformation efforts, and tighten their political grip. Moreover, the COVID-19 crisis has escalated the “battle of narratives” between democracy and authoritarianism. There is a debate about which governance system is best situated to protect citizens from the health crisis and deliver on the social contract with them. By raising awareness that the freedoms we cherish are under threat, the Call aims to mobilize citizens and policymakers to fight the battle of narratives and to defend democracy. This online event is a part of that series of conversations.

At a moment when our democratic abilities seem to have eroded, and political, economic, and technological forces have weakened the capacity for collective action, People, Power, Change is a once-in-a-generation book for anyone who wants to create real and lasting change.
Marshall Ganz is one of the world's leading authorities on democratic organizing, and this book is the culmination of his decades of teaching, research, and work. In People, Power, Change, Ganz distills for students, practitioners, and activists the principles he has gleaned over the last half-century of creating collective action.
Ganz explores the forces, craft, and learned skill of organizing and provides an actionable framework for how to actually do it. He focuses the book on the creation and substance of relationships, the fuel of values and narrative, the resources and power of strategy, the necessity of structure, and the accountability of action. Across these five organizing ideas, Ganz weaves in his personal experiences from a lifetime of organizing in iconic social movements and campaigns to illustrate how collective action actually works and to build the practices and skills that must be developed to do it with intention and with success.
Marshall Ganz is Rita T. Hauser Senior Lecturer in Leadership, Organizing, and Civil Society at the Harvard Kennedy School. He teaches, researches, and writes on leadership and organizing. His book Why David Sometimes Wins (Oxford University Press, 2009), earned the American Political Science Association's Michael J. Harrington Book Award. Ganz works with the Leading Change Network and dozens of other grassroots groups in the United States and around the world to develop critically needed organizing capacity. In 1965, Ganz joined Cesar Chavez to work to unionize California farmworkers, where he spent the next 16 years. Throughout the 1980s, Ganz led organizing programs in union, community, and electoral campaigns.
Ganz will be in conversation with Dorian Warren, the president of Community Change, co-chair of the Economic Security Project and co-host of System Check. A progressive scholar, organizer, and media personality, Dorian has worked to advance racial, economic, and social justice for over two decades. He previously held the position of vice president at Community Change. He taught for over a decade at the University of Chicago and Columbia University, where he was co-director of the Columbia University Program on Labor Law and Policy. He also worked at MSNBC, where he was a contributor and host, as well as the executive producer of “Nerding Out” on MSNBC’s digital platform. He serves on the boards of Working Partnerships USA, the Leadership Conference Education Fund Board, the National Employment Law Project, and The Nation magazine, among others.

On December 6, the Brookings Institution, the German Marshall Fund of the United States, the Center for European Policy Analysis, the Transatlantic Democracy Working Group, the FACT Coalition, and the Leveraging Transparency to Reduce Corruption initiative will co-host a seminar on the fight against corruption and its relationship to advancing democracy and addressing democratic backsliding globally.
The event began with a keynote address from Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Treasury Wally Adeyemo, who will focus on the Biden administration’s domestic and international anti-corruption agenda. He then joined Brookings President John R. Allen in conversation to further address anti-corruption priorities such as advancing economic fairness, combating money laundering, stemming illicit financial flows, and implementing beneficial ownership transparency as well as opportunities for cross-sector collaboration to address these challenges.
A panel discussion then looked at anti-corruption issues through the lens of the upcoming U.S.-led Summit for Democracy and the release of the “Democracy Playbook 2021: 10 Commitments for Advancing Democracy.” This new report grounds possible commitments and deliverables to be made by governments and other participants in the summit. Expert panelists unpacked those commitments using the example of anti-corruption, but also discussed more broadly how the Summit for Democracy and the “year of action” to follow can renew and strengthen democracy, fight growing authoritarianism, and usher in an era of improved governance.
After the session, panelists took audience questions. Viewers submitted questions for speakers by emailing
