Is the EU finally standing in solidarity?

As the world gets to grip with the reality of ISIS becoming an ever increasing threat to world peace, EU countries have been on high alert following the terrorist attacks on Paris over a week ago. The latest country to raise the level of security to the maximum is Belgium where it has been reported that members of the group who had planned the attack were living in the country before they executed their cowardly act of terror.

This has resulted in the capital city of Brussels to be placed on lockdown as government fears that more accomplishes may still be roaming the street planning fresh attacks given the city is a major political meeting point for government namely the EU parliament and NATO.

I wrote on piece on Friday's blog stating that EU nations reactionary stance rather than proactive measures had been brought on by all member governments lack of interest in immigration control with this latest terrorist attacks catapulting the issue into the light forcing governments to deal with the issue immediately.

There are no short term solutions when it comes to dealing with these problems which add further woes to the EU region that has been caught squabbling over political ideologies over ways to deal with a overburdened debt crisis and citizens refusal to become meaningfully productive.

One positive thing that comes out of this is that all governments in the eurozone will stand in solidarity against these heinous crimes. Let's us hope that all political players pay close attention to the inner workings of co-operations and the fundamental benefits every nation can enjoy when a united front is held.
In a game changer for both Argentina and the South American region of politics, Mauricio Macri was elected the leader of Argentina in a tightly contested vote that saw the ruling leftist party being overwhelmed by dissatisfied voters who say they've been left with empty promises and an ailing economy in urgent need of repair.

 Argentina, the second largest economy in South America has suffered the same fate as most emerging market economies have over the past year from the deepened commodities slump that many leaders had taken advantage of previously but now somewhat caught in a economical storm of disaster as activity sinks in tandem with the rout.

Counterparts Brazil have seen the same effects, if not worse, on their economy with many pointing fingers squarely at Dilma Rousseff  whose head has been on the chopping block for some time now with public confidence dropping to all time lows on record for any sitting Brazilian president.

The best part of it is South Americans are actively participating in the decisions made in the politics of their countries which does bode well for future investment confidence that has been lacklustre over the decades as dictators have wrecked the continents potential with a few cases of some remaining in power.
