Slovenia to support sanctions against Russia until withdrawal of troops from Crimea and Donbas – Poroshenko (Porochenko était en Slovénie hier)
President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko and President of Slovenia Borut Pahor discussed the situation with Russian aggression in the east of our country and illegal annexation of Crimea.
This has been reported by the press service of the Head of State.
“We are grateful to Slovenia for supporting the continuation of sanctions until full withdrawal of Russian troops and restoration of sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine,” Petro Poroshenko said.
The President informed that he had discussed the situation in the occupied Crimea with the President of Slovenia. “We noted that the lasting militarization of the peninsula and mass human rights violations cause serious concern in the international community,” he said.
The Head of State also thanked for the assistance to Ukrainians affected by the Russian aggression. According to him, it is symbolic that 240 Ukrainian children who became orphans after the Russian aggression had an opportunity to have a rest in Slovenia and see the benefits of European vector of development.

C'est l'Ukraine, mais la Russie en premier est concerne:
Eastern front: situation continues to deteriorate
Shellings intensify along the frontline
Up to three thousand blasts per day - that is how the Eastern front of Ukraine sounds right now. These numbers are a rough estimate count of the OSCE Monitoring mission. Dwellers of the frontline villages say the shellings now are the heaviest for over a year.

Ukrainian soldiers agree: shelling was not so loud and heavy since the beginning of 2015. Even villages that had several quiet months now are under fire. Militants use artillery, grenade launchers, mortars and armored vehicles along the length of the front line. Mariupol outskirts remain the hottest point.

He revealed his ban on visiting Russia while applying for visa to do Clinton transition work, McFaul revealed.

"Our position is that sanctions will remain unchanged," Russian government top official told a news conference in Jerico during his visit to Israel. "Irrespective of the results of elections in any country, including in one as important as the United States of America, our assumptions remain unchanged," he also said.

Exactement surtout que:
Russia wants to dominate in region – Dietrich Voigt
Karsten Dietrich Voigt, the member of the Presidium of the German Council for Foreign Policy and former chairman of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly (1994-96), says Russia is not interested in strong Ukraine but wants to be a dominant power, therefore, directly or indirectly, trying to implement its own all-encompassing policy options in the region.
This statement Voigt made in his interview with Ukrainian Espreso TV channel.
He said without a military force Russia would not give up on Crimea, nor would it abandon its sphere of influence in the eastern part of Ukraine.
Statements that the current conflict will a long-term one are unpleasant but quite realistic, Voigt emphasized.
He added that he sometimes compares this situation with the situation in Berlin when the conflict lasted for decades. At that time, the Soviet Union was implementing its interests and expanding its sphere of influence. Even though the German problems could be solved, he said, after many years they remained unresolved. Voigt stresses the two situations are not identical, but one of the preconditions to tackle the current problems could be Russia`s understanding that it has got stuck in a dead end, according to Voigt.

Le guébiste a la réponse:
Russia declines to ratify International Criminal Court Statute
Michel Porro/Getty Images
MOSCOW, November 16. /TASS/. Russia has no intention to become a member of the Rome Statute, which is the basic document establishing the International Criminal Court (ICC), according to the relevant resolution signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin and posted on the government’s legal information web portal on Wednesday.
Under the president’s resolution, Russia’s Foreign Ministry will send the relevant notice to the UN Secretary-General.
The Rome Statute (The ICC Charter) was developed with Russia’s participation and adopted by the UN Diplomatic Conference of Plenipotentiaries in Rome on July 17, 1998. It entered into force on July 1, 2002 and started operating in 2003. Russia signed the document on September 13, 2000.
The ICC is a judicial body called upon to administer justice on behalf of the entire international community against persons guilty of committing especially grave crimes: genocide, aggression, crimes against humanity and war crimes. Each of these definitions is interpreted differently by the judicial law of different countries but the states that join the ICC Charter confirm that they understand them in the same way.

Le tour est joué
Décision parfaitement légale ! D'ailleurs, la Gambie s'en est officiellement retirée, tandis que l'Afrique du Sud et le Burundi ont annoncé qu'ils allaient en faire de même.
Tout le problème provient du refus des Etats-Unis d'accepter la création d'une telle juridiction si l'acte fondateur n'exonérait pas les citoyens américains de sa juridiction. Ce sont donc les Etats-Unis qui ont généré la création de ce statut bancal de la CPI.
Si, au lieu de se plier devant les exigences américaines, les Etats fondateur de la CPI (essentiellement l'UE) avaient créé cette juridiction en disposant que toute personne (quelle que soit sa nationalité) trouvée sur le territoire des Etats fondateurs de la CPI pouvait être jugée par la CPI, nous n'en serions pas là ! Mais quand on préfère trouver des arrangements politiciens sur des principes aussi fondamentaux, cela a fâcheusement tendance à revenir en pleine gueule comme un boomerang au moment où l'on ne s'y attend pas.
La CPI est un traité "à la carte", dans lequel on entre et on sort comme des toilettes...

Oui, oui, c'est cela... Je me permets de te citer le texte de la loi belge qui dispose que : « Les poursuites, en ce compris l'instruction, ne peuvent être engagées qu'à la requête du procureur fédéral qui apprécie les plaintes éventuelles ».
Quand tu auras convaincu le procureur fédéral belge d’engager des poursuites en Belgique contre Poutine, tu reviendras nous faire signe ?

Russia violates maritime law by exploring annexed part of Azov Sea shelf – border guards
Ukrainian Border Guard Service spokesman Oleh Slobodian says Russia continues violating the rules of international maritime law by exploring the shelf of the annexed part of the Sea of Azov for possible drilling.
”Russia continues violating the rules of international maritime law and carries out illegal business activities in the annexed parts of the Azov and Black Seas,” he said at a briefing in Kyiv, according to an UNIAN correspondent.
”From October to November, Ukrainian border guards observed the Dolphin diving support vessel belonging to Chernomorneftegaz, an oil and gas producer of the self-proclaimed authorities of Crimea, conducting geological exploration in the Sea of Azov. Namely, they were examining the seabed and collecting soil samples to study the shelf in that area for future drilling,” Slobodian said.

Putin awards medals to active Russian military after their return from Donbas war
Pourquoi ces médailles?
A journalist investigation provides a significant amount of evidence that proves direct participation of Russia`s 61st Separate Naval Infantry Brigade in the Ukrainian conflict near Luhansk in the summer and fall of 2014.
About dozen of servicemen were identified during the journalist investigation`s OSINT efforts, many of whom were awarded medals for their participation in combat by decree of the Russian president after returning home, and continued serving as active servicemen, Bellingcat writes in its report citing the initial investigation by Askai707.

On one of the photographs, the following servicemen of Russia`s 61st Separate Naval Infantry Brigade can be seen: Vladimir Stach, Sergey Antonkin, Tofik Sultaliev, Igor Bushuev, Grigory Kislyuk, and Gennady Fedosov.
As UNIAN reported earlier, Eliot Higgins, the founder of the Bellingcat investigative group, said it was the commander of the Russian military who was responsible for sending military equipment into Ukraine, including the Buk surface-to-air missile system that downed flight MH17 in Donbas in July 2014.

Russian Media Reports Russian Diplomats In Touch With Trump Transition Team
Deputy director of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mikhail Bogdanov informed the Russian media agency Interfax on Thursday that he and his colleagues have already initiated contacts with members of president-elect Trump’s transition team with regards to the current events in the Syrian conflict. He expressed hope for open and constructive engagement with president-elect’s team.
In a related development earlier, president Putin’s press secretary, Dmitriy Peskov has informed the Russian media that President Putin and president-elect Trump have discussed a possible meeting soon after the inauguration.
Foreign Policy: How World War III could begin in Latvia
Four years ago, I predicted Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Here's my next prediction, which by now will strike many people as obvious: The Baltics are next, and will pose one of President-elect Donald Trump's first and greatest tests. It probably won't take the form of an overt invasion, Paul Miller wrote in his article published on Foreign Policy on November 16.
Reuters
Russian President Vladimir Putin has a clear goal and a grand strategy. But it's not the most realists perceive. Some argue that he is driven by fundamentally rational, defensive goals: NATO expansion appeared threatening and Russia is pushing back. The West expanded its sphere of influence at Russia's expense, and Russia is now retaliating. That's why the "Ukraine Crisis Is the West's Fault," according to John Mearsheimer, the article says.
As with most academic realist analysis, this is nonsense. Putin is not driven by cold calculations of rational self-interest, because no human is. We are not Vulcans. We are driven by our perception of self-interest as shaped and defined by our deeper presuppositions and beliefs — which is to say, our ideology or religion.
Putin believes hegemony over Russia's near-abroad is necessary for Russian security because of his beliefs about Russian nationhood and historical destiny. Putin (and, perhaps more so, his inner circle) isn't merely nationalist. The Kremlin appears to be driven by peculiar form of Russian nationalism infused with religion, destiny, and messianism. In this narrative, Russia is the guardian of Orthodox Christianity and has a mission to protect and expand the faith.
A truly rational Russia would not see NATO and European Union expansion as a threat, because the liberal order is open and inclusive and would actually augment Russia's security and prosperity. But, for Putin and other Russians who see the world through the lens of Russian religious nationalism, the West is inherently a threat because of its degeneracy and globalism.
In this view, NATO is not the benign guarantor of liberal order in Europe, but the hostile agent of the degenerate West and the primary obstacle to Russian greatness. Thus, Putin's grand strategy requires breaking NATO. Specifically, he must make the Article V mutual security guarantee meaningless.
Putin has already succeeded in eroding NATO's credibility. His last two targets, Georgia and Ukraine, were not NATO members, but in 2008 had been explicitly and publicly assured that they would be granted Membership Action Plans, the roadmap to membership. Russia clearly and publicly opposed any steps towards NATO membership for both countries — and then proceeded to invade them.
Russia's invasions of Georgia and Ukraine created disputed territories — South Ossetia, Abkhazia, and Crimea — occupied by Russian soldiers. No country will ever join NATO while being partly occupied by Russia.
Putin now has the most favorable international environment since the end of the Cold War to continue Russian expansion. European unity is fractured. Alliance members are questioning the value of the mutual security pact. And the next American president seems openly favorable to Russia and ready to excuse Russia's irresponsible behavior.
Putin's next step is more dangerous than the previous ones, because he is likely to move into the Baltics, which are NATO members. He will not send large formations of uniformed Russian soldiers over the international border — even the most cautious NATO members will not ignore an overt conventional invasion.
Instead, Putin will instigate an ambiguous militarized crisis using deniable proxies, probably in the next two years. Perhaps Russian-speaking Latvians or Estonians (a quarter of Latvians and Estonians are ethnically Russian) will begin rioting, protesting for their rights, claiming to be persecuted, asking for "international protection." A suspiciously well-armed and well trained "Popular Front for the Liberation of the Russian Baltics" will appear. A few high-profile assassinations and bombings bring the Baltics to the edge of civil war. A low-grade insurgency may emerge.
Russia will block all United Nations Security Council resolutions, but will offer its unilateral services as a peacekeeper. The North Atlantic Council will meet. Poland will lead the effort to invoke Article V, declare the Baltics under Russian attack, and rally collective defense against Russian aggression. The Germans and French will fiercely resist. Everyone will look to the United States to see which way the alliance leader tilts.
If the Alliance does not invoke Article V, NATO's mutual security guarantee becomes functionally meaningless. No alliance member will put any faith in the treaty to guarantee its own defense against Russia in the future. The geopolitical clock will rewind to 1939. Some Eastern European states may choose to bandwagon with Russia. Others, starting with Poland, will begin arming to the teeth. Putin's dream of a fractured West and an open field in Europe will be realized.
But if the Alliance does invoke Article V, it will be tantamount to a declaration of war by the West against Russia. And that's when Trump will have to decide if the defense of Latvia is worth risking World War III.
Oleksandr Kolchenko is spending a 3rd birthday in Russian prison for opposing annexation of Crimea
Kolchenko birthday
Ukrainian civic activist Oleksandr Kolchenko is turning 27 on Nov 26, his third birthday in Russian captivity. The need for letters of support and also public attention is now even more urgent with Russia having just prevented real human rights activists from visiting him. Kolchenko, renowned filmmaker Oleg Sentsov and other Ukrainian political prisoners are isolated and therefore in danger, making all letters and appeals an important message to Moscow as well that it is being watched.
Kolchenko, Sentsov and two other opponents of Russia’s invasion and occupation of their native Crimea (Gennady Afanasyev and Oleksiy Chirniy), were arrested in May 2014. They were held incommunicado, then taken illegally to Moscow and only allowed to see lawyers after several weeks, almost certainly to hide the signs of torture.
It was only then that the FSB finally came out with quite extraordinary charges, claiming that Sentsov had been the mastermind behind a ‘Right Sector terrorist plot’ and that the other three were involved in and planning acts of terrorism.
It is likely that the fading marks of torture were the main reason, however it is not impossible that the FSB also needed something to back Russia’s increasingly preposterous allegations about the right-wing Ukrainian nationalist Right Sector movement which came to the fore during Euromaidan. Russian President Vladimir Putin and all government-controlled media had used false claims about a ‘fascist junta’ in Kyiv as an attempt to justify Russia’s invasion of Crimea, and military aggression in Eastern Ukraine. ‘Right Sector’ was particularly demonized and its role seriously exaggerated.
The Ukrainian presidential elections on May 25 were a terrible blow to the Kremlin and Russian propaganda. Not only had Ukrainians succeeded in uniting behind one candidate, the elected President Petro Poroshenko, but they also demonstrated how little support the far-right in fact had. The candidates representing Right Sector and the far-right Svoboda party could only muster 2% for both.
Russian TV reacted to this initially by lying, and producing a purported ‘real victory’ for the Right Sector candidate, but this could only be a temporary measure. Willy-nilly, the truth would out.
5 days later, the FSB came up with their ‘Right Sector terrorist plot’ in Crimea. Afanasyev and Chirniy had both provided ‘confessions’ under torture (and received shorter sentences). These were then used to justify the FSB’s grandiose claims about the alleged ‘plot’.
There was no proof of any plot, nor anything that constituted ‘terrorism’. The charges were especially absurd given that Kolchenko is a committed anarchist with pronounced left-wing views, and it was ludicrous to cast him as a Right Sector ‘plotter’. Sentsov was also seriously miscast, being an internationally recognized film director and a father bringing up two young children, one with special needs.
Kolchenko had taken part in one act of protest in April 2014. A Molotov cocktail was thrown at the entrance of an organization which had played a major and dodgy role in supporting Russia’s invasion. Thrown at night when nobody would be hurt. Afanasyev and Chirniy had taken part in two such protests.
Sentsov had done nothing at all, and the monstrous 20-year sentence only confirmed his allegations from the beginning of torture and threats that if he didn’t provide the ‘testimony’ they demanded, that he would be made the ringleader and ‘rot in prison’.
Russia imposed strict secrecy and so the lack of any evidence, while assumed from the outset, was only confirmed from the first day of the trial in Rostov of Kolchenko and Sentsov who had dismissed the absurd charges from the outset.
Both men were almost immediately declared political prisoners by the Memorial Human Rights Centre. Afanasyev was also recognized as a political prisoner after he had the courage to stand up in court on August 31, and retract all testimony as given under torture.
The court ignored the absurdity of the whole ‘case’ and Afanasyev’s retraction, and sentenced Sentsov to 20 years, Kolchenko to 10. The two men stood arm in arm as the sentence was being read out, singing Ukraine’s national anthem.
There have since been cynical moves pretending willingness to consider the men’s extradition. These ran parallel with continued attempts to force Russian citizenship on them. Even Russia’s outgoing Ombudsperson Ella Panfilova acknowledged that the men are Ukrainian and the indictment gives only their Ukrainian citizenship, yet Russia has now claimed that they cannot be released. The reason is a record-breaker in cynicism. The two men, whose persecution for opposition to Russia’s invasion is internationally recognized , are supposed to have ‘automatically’ become Russian because of that invasion.
Please write to both Oleksandr (Sasha) and Oleg!

Putin moves his missiles in new threat to Europe – The Times
(Poutine déplace ses missiles dans une nouvelle menace pour l'Europe - The Times)
Russian nuclear missiles have Berlin within range (by Daily Chicken)
Russia accuses NATO of military expansion reasoning its own aggressive actions, Tom Parfitt, Catherine Philp, Bruno Waterfield, and Michael Savage state in today's The Times article
Russia is deploying short-range ballistic missiles to its western European enclave, it emerged yesterday as President Putin threatened "counter-measures" against NATO expansion.
A senior Russian MP said that Moscow would permanently station the nuclear-capable missiles in Kaliningrad, a region between the NATO states of Poland and Lithuania, in retaliation for a military build-up by the alliance in eastern Europe.
John Kirby, spokesman for the US State Department, said that the deployment of the missiles was "destabilising to European security". He added: "We call on Russia to refrain from words or deeds that are inconsistent with the goal of promoting security and stability."

A Pentagon official said: "Such a deployment ... would mark an unfortunate and destabilising action. NATO's missile defence system, for which this action by Russia is purportedly a response, is not oriented toward Russia. Like all other US and NATO deployments in eastern Europe, this system is purely defensive and intended to enhance collective security."
In an interview with the film-maker Oliver Stone, broadcast in Russia last night, Mr Putin said that Moscow felt threatened by NATO expansion and would try to counter it. "Why are we reacting to Nato expansion so emotionally? We are concerned by NATO'S decision-making," he said. "We must take counter-measures, that is, strike with our missile systems the targets that in our opinion begin to threaten us."
The developments came less than two weeks after Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election prompted concerns over the solidity of the alliance, which he has denounced as obsolete and expensive. Experts said that Russia's actions represented a challenge to Mr Trump, whose reaction could be hard to predict. "It is a dangerous moment," Igor Sutyagin, a Russia expert at the Royal United Services Institute think tank, said.

Russian President Vladimir Putin says the practice of decision-making at NATO raises Moscow`s concern and forces the Russians to take countermeasures.

Russian nuclear missiles have Berlin within range (by Daily Chicken)
Russia accuses NATO of military expansion reasoning its own aggressive actions, Tom Parfitt, Catherine Philp, Bruno Waterfield, and Michael Savage state in today's The Times article
Russia is deploying short-range ballistic missiles to its western European enclave, it emerged yesterday as President Putin threatened "counter-measures" against NATO expansion.
A senior Russian MP said that Moscow would permanently station the nuclear-capable missiles in Kaliningrad, a region between the NATO states of Poland and Lithuania, in retaliation for a military build-up by the alliance in eastern Europe.
John Kirby, spokesman for the US State Department, said that the deployment of the missiles was "destabilising to European security". He added: "We call on Russia to refrain from words or deeds that are inconsistent with the goal of promoting security and stability."

A Pentagon official said: "Such a deployment ... would mark an unfortunate and destabilising action. NATO's missile defence system, for which this action by Russia is purportedly a response, is not oriented toward Russia. Like all other US and NATO deployments in eastern Europe, this system is purely defensive and intended to enhance collective security."
In an interview with the film-maker Oliver Stone, broadcast in Russia last night, Mr Putin said that Moscow felt threatened by NATO expansion and would try to counter it. "Why are we reacting to Nato expansion so emotionally? We are concerned by NATO'S decision-making," he said. "We must take counter-measures, that is, strike with our missile systems the targets that in our opinion begin to threaten us."

Russian President Vladimir Putin says the practice of decision-making at NATO raises Moscow`s concern and forces the Russians to take countermeasures.
Putin said that ”whatever” could appear in these countries after joining the Alliance – missile defense systems and new military bases, and if necessary – a new missile strike system.”Why do we respond to the expansion of NATO so acutely? We are concerned about the practice of [their] decision-making. I know the way they take decisions. When a country becomes a NATO member state, it is already very difficult for it to resist the pressure from such a large country leading NATO as the United States,” RIA Novosti quoted Putin as saying.
”And what should we do? In this case, we should take countermeasures, i.e. to target our missile systems at the objects that, in our view, have become our threats. The situation is getting strained,” he said.

Et en réaction, le point de vue de deux états nordiques:
Défense : La Suède réhabilite des pièces de musée datant de la guerre froide
Dans le but d’améliorer les capacités défensives de Gotland, plus grande île du pays en mer Baltique, la Suède s’est décidée à dépoussiérer un système de défense antinavire datant de la période de la guerre froide ainsi que des véhicules Scania qui figuraient jusque-là dans des musées.
(Capture d’écran Youtube/ Försvarsmakten)
Face à une situation géopolitique de plus en plus imprévisible en Europe, l’armée suédoise a décidé qu’il était grand temps d’améliorer les défenses de l’île de Gotland, en mer baltique. Qu’importe si cela doit passer par la remise en état de pièces de musée.
La semaine dernière, l’armée suédoise s’est ainsi retrouvée à tester le bon fonctionnement de lance-missiles Kustrobotbatteri 90 capables de tirer depuis la terre des RBS-15, des missiles antinavires à longue portée, dont le guidage après lancement ne nécessite plus l’intervention du servant de la plate-forme de tir. Pour ce faire, les militaires n’ont pas hésité à demander l’assistance du constructeur aéronautique suédois SAAB ni à ressortir des véhicules Scania dont une partie avait tout bonnement été remisée dans des musées depuis la fin de guerre froide, comme nous l’apprend un récent article de The Local.
« Nous avons conduit des analyses afin de déterminer si nous serions en capacité de remettre en état un engin capable de tirer ces missiles. Il restait encore un certain nombre de camions. Nous avons également récupéré des composants de bateau lance-missiles et de vaisseaux de guerre partageant le même système de lancement », a ainsi expliqué le contre-amiral Thomas Engevall au journal suédois Dagens Nyheter.
Le ministre suédois de la Défense, Peter Hultqvist, s’est déclaré vendredi très satisfait de constater que la Suède possède de nouveau des installations capables de « tirer des missiles antinavires depuis la terre sur une longue distance ».
À en croire Mike Winnerstig, un analyste de la politique de sécurité à l’Agence suédoise de recherche de défense (FOI, Totalförsvarets forskningsinstitut) interrogé par le Dagens Nyheter, il s’agit là d’un signe fort que la Suède est bien décidée à renforcer ses capacités de défense : « La décision est nationale, mais c’est aussi une contribution suédoise aux capacités internationales de défense en mer Baltique à la suite de l’annexion de la Crimée par les Russes et l’invasion de l’Ukraine ».
"Quand on vous accueille, vous devez respecter les habitudes norvégiennes"
La Norvège est à la croisée des chemins de l’actualité mondiale. Sa Première ministre doit naviguer entre les tensions croissantes avec la Russie, la décision du Royaume-Uni de quitter l’Europe en passant par la crise des réfugiés. Elle doit même faire face à la folie planétaire du jeu Pokemon Go.
Isabelle Kumar a rencontré Erna Solberg en marge du Forum mondial pour la démocratie du Conseil de l’Europe.
Isabelle Kumar, euronews : Votre frontière avec la Russie n’est pas très longue mais vous avez récemment accepté que des troupes américaines stationnent chez vous. Cela a suscité un certain degré de mécontentement à Moscou…
Erna Solberg, Première ministre norvégienne : Cela ne m’inquiète pas plus que cela. Nous avons de bonnes relations avec la Russie sur de nombreux sujets.
Cela fait partie d’un cadre nécessaire : nous souhaitons nous assurer que nos alliés qui viennent dans notre pays puissent apprendre à combattre en période d’hiver en collaboration avec nos différentes troupes.
Mais la Russie n’apprécie trop pas de voir des troupes se rassembler à sa frontière nordique ou à l’est de l’Europe. N’y aurait-il pas là un peu de provocation?
Nous ne ressentons pas le même niveau de tension dans le nord en comparaison avec ce que nous avons vu dans les pays Baltes par exemple. Mais nous restons fermes : depuis que la Russie a enfreint le droit international en Ukraine nous continuons à soutenir le peuple ukrainien. Mais en même temps, dans le nord de l’Europe nous essayons d’entretenir de bonnes relations avec la Russie.
Vous avez construit une clôture entre la Norvège et la Russie : c’est l’une des nombreuses barrières qui ont vu le jour ces dernies mois pour enrayer l’immigration. Et apparemment c’est un succès puisque l’immigration a chuté de 95%…
Nous avons de bons échanges avec la Russie. Je pense qu’ils savaient que c‘était une question de sécurité. Ils ont déjà trois barrières avant que quiconque puisse rejoindre la Norvège.Je crois que la réduction des flux a été aussi bénéfique pour eux.
N’est-ce pas délicat d‘ériger des barrières pour empêcher les gens de venir alors qu’ils sont dans une situation désespérée?
Nous sommes l’un de ces pays qui a relocalisé le plus de réfugiés. 3100 personnes dépendant des quotas de l’UNHCR sont en partance pour la Norvège.
Nous faisons cela depuis longtemps et de manière stable. Et même si nous enregistrerons moins de personnes cette année, l’an dernier nous avons pris part à de nombreuses crises humanitaires.
Lorsqu’on a un haut niveau d‘éducation on est généralement plus enclin à la tolérance envers la diversité. Que faire pour rendre les Norvégiens plus accueillants face aux réfugiés par ce qu’on leur demande souvent de s’intégrer mais on doit aussi les accueillir…
Cela fait partie de notre système d‘éducation de savoir pourquoi les gens fuient certains pays, de savoir quelle convention les protège, quelle est notre responsabilité. Cela fait partie de notre cursus scolaire en Norvège. Maintenant il faut être clair : quand on vous accueille, vous devez respecter les habitudes norvégiennes. Vous ne pouvez pas vous dire que vous vivez encore dans votre pays d’origine en matière de droits des femmes ou être consternés quand vous voyez deux hommes s’embrasser dans la rue. Il y a des homosexuels dans notre pays, c’est normal, cela fait partie de notre société.”
Ironiquement, c’est votre ministre de l’intégration qui a suscité un brin d’indignation parce qu’elle a dit que les nouveaux migrants devaient se faire à l’idée qu’autour d’eux les gens mangent du porc ou boivent de l’alcool. J’ai l’impression que même au niveau ministériel il semble qu’on ait une approche simpliste alors que le sujet est assez complexe. Qu’en pensez-vous ?
Je ne crois par que cela soit un sujet complexe : si vous arrivez dans un pays et que vous devez travailler pour subvenir à vos besoins vous ne pouvez pas dire non à un travail dans un restaurant parce qu’on y sert du porc ou de l’alcool. Vous ne pouvez pas vous attendre à ce que la société norvégienne subvienne à vos besoins si vous refusez de travailler pour des motifs religieux.
Cela reste marginal ?
Il y a encore trop peu de femmes migrantes qui travaillent en Norvège. Souvent parce qu’elles ont beaucoup d’enfants, donc c’est déjà beaucoup de travail en soi. Mais parfois elles ne trouvent pas de travail parce qu’elles émettent des demandes qui font que cela devient encore plus difficile pour elles de trouver un travail.
Parfois c’est aussi à cause de leurs maris qui ne veulent pas les voir trop impliquées dans la société norvégienne parce qu’elles pourraient goûter à la liberté des femmes dans notre société, il y a là une sorte de patriarcat.
Le sentiment anti-migrant a été l’un des moteurs de la campagne au Royaume-Uni pour quitter l’Union européenne. Les Britanniques se sont engagés sur cette voie non sans mal et regardent le modèle norvégien. Pensez-vous que ce modèle soit nécessairement le bon pour les Britannques ?
Beaucoup de discussions durant la campagne ont tourné autour des quatres libertés et j’ai déjà dit que je ne pensais pas que les Britanniques aimeraient notre modèle.
Je pense que ce modèle est très bon pour nous, cela nous donne une connexion économique qui nous permet de vendre nos produits et nos services. Mais concernant la question migratoire, en Norvège, pendant des années nous avons été assez accueillants parce que nous avions besoin de main-d’oeuvre.
Craignez-vous que d’autres pays puissent quitter l’UE ?
En fait, j’ai cru que le vote pour le Brexit allait engendrer des conséquences plus graves. Maintenant, tout le monde est assez anxieux quant à ce qui pourrait se passer après, et face à l’insécurité qui règne au Royaume-Uni, cela a peut-être calmé ceux qui pensaient que cela serait facile de quitter l’UE.
On entend souvent dire que les femmes politiques, à votre niveau, doivent travailler deux fois plus dur que les hommes et se battre pour leur poste. Avez-vous vécu cela ?
Je ne suis pas la première femme Première ministre de mon pays. Je suis la deuxième. Et je me dis souvent que je suis contente d‘être la deuxième parce que quelqu’un a fait le travail avant moi. En Norvège, les gens sont habitués à ce que des femmes soient leaders en politique et dans d’autres domaines. Cela me donne aussi une grande liberté d‘être moi-même et pas une moitié d’homme comme ce fut le cas pour les premières femmes qui ont été Première ministre et qui ont dû réellement s’adapter à ce type de standard.
L’un des moyens que vous avez trouvé pour vous relaxer c’est de jouer à Pokemon Go. Qu’est ce qui vous a rendu accro et pourquoi vous aimez y jouer ?
Cela a commencé durant mes vacances quand c’est devenu complètement fou et que tout le monde y jouait. Chaque Pokestop est généralement un bâtiment ou une sculpture qu’on peut découvrir dans la ville d’une manière différente parce que vous y découvrez des petits détails… vous redécouvrez l’art sous un jour nouveau et vous expérimentez des choses de manière différente.
Je trouve ça très amusant que les gens ne comprennent pas qu’une femme politique puisse se relaxer de la même manière que tout un chacun.
