‘Anyone but Putin’: Navalny launches election campaign against Russian ruler

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:35:50 GMT

Imprisoned opposition leader Alexei Navalny has urged Russians to vote for anyone but incumbent President Vladimir Putin in March’s election. Putin will use the election as an “approval of the war” he is waging against Ukraine, Navalny’s campaign warned on Thursday. “On 17 March, the day of the election, we urge everyone to come to the polls and vote against Vladimir Putin,” they added. Election results “will be rigged,” Navalny’s team said, but everyone must understand that “Russia doesn’t need Putin anymore.” The Russian Senate voted Thursday to hold a presidential election on March 17. Longtime leader Putin has still to formally announce his new presidential bid — but he will almost certainly run (and win) again. After silencing almost all of his domestic political opposition, Putin is expected to stay in power until at least 2030. Navalny has been one of those cracked down on, spending almost three year...

LONDON — A defiant Rishi Sunak vowed to take on his Conservative critics Thursday as his party’s deep splits over migration policy burst into the open.At a hastily-arranged Downing Street press conference, the prime minister — reeling from the resignation of his immigration minister on Wednesday night — declared “I want to finish the job” and insisted a looming vote on his new plan won’t be treated as a matter of confidence in his government.It comes after Robert Jenrick dramatically quit Sunak’s administration, arguing that a new law to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda didn’t go far enough and would once again fail in the courts.The Tories have been trying since last year to get the controversial plan of sending some asylum seekers to Rwanda for processing — and potential settlement — by Rwandan authorities off the ground, in the teeth of major legal setbacks on human rights grounds.On Wednesday Sunak published a new law to try and shore up the scheme a...

United opposition poses stern test for Vučić in Serbia’s election

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:35:50 GMT

BELGRADE — Serbian firebrand President Aleksandar Vučić’s penchant for perpetually calling elections looks liable to come back and bite him, as a united opposition is mounting an unexpectedly stern challenge to his decade-long grip on power in a snap general election on December 17.Seizing on public outrage over two tragic mass shootings in May — which killed 19 people, including 10 at a Belgrade school — the opposition has pulled together under the banner Serbia Against Violence, claiming Vučić’s administration inspires a culture of brutality propagated in part through divisive television programming and coarse reality shows.It’s a political groundswell that builds upon festering fears that Vučić is presiding over a glaring decline in the EU candidate country’s democratic standards, press freedoms and the independence of public institutions.Serbia Against Violence is now polling at about 40 percent, while Vučić’s coalition has around 49 percent su...
