TAP: Vol 13, Iss. 10. Fortress Denmark?. Sasha Polakow-Suransky. At the epicenter of this debate is Minister for Refugees, Immigrants and Integration, Bertel Haarder. In Denmark, however, the DPP brought immigration to the forefront of political debate in a raw and uncompromising manner that was entirely new to the country's politics, and it did so at a time when few other parties were even willing to raise the issue.

TIME Europe France: Enter the Old Guard 4/10/2000 At the same time, Allègre--an internationally respected academic recruited as an outsider to "slim down the behemoth" of France's bloated and gridlocked educational system--was offered up as a sacrifice to appease angry teachers and their unions for applying the same reforms Jospin had sought to institute as Education Minister in 1992.

Further signs that Jospin had adopted a more conservative game plan came with his cabinet appointments of Socialists closely associated with the late François Mitterrand, including former Prime Minister Laurent Fabius as Finance and Economics Minister and former culture czar Jack Lang to replace Allègre. www.time.com /time/europe/magazine/2000/0410/jospin.html   (1834 words)
