The European Court of Human Rights
ruled earlier this week that the Russian Federation, led by tyrant Vladimir
Putin, an ex-Soviet intelligence officer, illegally banned the website
kasparov.ru, founded by Garry Kasparov, the former world chess champion,
liberal democratic dissident and Russian presidential candidate against Putin. Kasparov, who is widely regarded as the
greatest chess player of all time, is the Chairman of the Human Rights
Foundation, https://hrf.org/ , and is the founder of the Renew Democracy
Initiative, https://www.rdi.org/, which is dedicated to renewing constitutional
democracy in the United
States , where he lives in exile.
A new Prime
Minister of Ireland has taken office today to lead a coalition government that,
for the first time, includes the two main political parties, both of which are
center-right, together with the Greens.
As I had explained in my last post, the unprecedented coalition was
necessary to keep the far-left Sinn Fein from power.
