This policy, sometimes referred to as participatory budgeting, was already suggested by the socialist politician Christine Pirès Beaune last year. In an amendment, then rejected by the presidential majority...

Lawmakers from at least six countries, including three in Europe, said Chinese diplomats were pressuring them not to attend a conference in Taiwan, in what they described as efforts to isolate the self-governed island. Politicians in Slovakia, North Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as Bolivia and Colombia, said they were getting texts, calls and urgent requests for meetings that would conflict with their plans to travel to Taipei. The conference begins on Monday and is being held by the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC), a group of hundreds of lawmakers from 35 countries c...

미국 하원의 민주당 의원들과 2024년 선거에 출마하는 후보들은 카말라 해리스 부통령이 유력한 대통령 후보로 떠오른 이후 당이 디지털 자산 산업에 대한 '적대감'을 바꿀 것을 촉구하는 서한에 서명했다. 7월 26일, 하원 의원 로 카나, 와일리 니켈, 리치 토레스를 포함한 14명의 하원의원들과 전국 각지의 여러 선거구에 출마하는 14명의 후보들은 민주당 전국위원회(DNC) 의장 제이미 해리슨에게 서한을 보냈다. 이 서한에서 그들은 당 지도부가 디지털 자산과 블록체인 기술에 대해 "미래 지향적 접근"을 취할 것을 촉구했다. 일부 민주당 의원들이 의회에서친암호화폐 법안을 지지하는 투표를 했음에도 불구하고, 서한은 당이 디지털 자산에 관해 이미지 문제를 가지고 있다고 지적했다. “현 SEC의 접근 방식으로 인해 당이 디지털 자산에 대해 부정적인 견해를 가지고 있다는 대중의 인식이 있다”고 DNC 서한은 밝혔다. “우리는 이러한 과거의 적대감이 당의 진보적이고 미래 지향적이며 포용적인 가치를 반영하지 않는다고 믿습니다. 새로운 지도자는 이러한 인식을 바꿀 수 있는 기회를 제공합니다.” 의원들과 후보들은 다음과 같이 덧붙였다: "우리는 이 기술이 비당파적이라고 믿으며...

Both major American political camps are convinced that democracy is under attack by the other side, and they probably are both largely correct.

Our democracy may be the equivalent of "two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner," as one aphorism puts it, but it's also "the worst form of government except for all those other forms," according to another.
