di Mazyaar Ghiabi

(articolo pubblicato su Middle East Report Online, April 17, 2020, e consultabile in originale al link https://merip.org/2020/04/mutual-aid-and-solidarity-in-iran-during-the-covid-19-pandemic/)

In a remote village in central Iran, a man in his seventies fell sick and, after a few days, died. A witty and well-known figure in the otherwise isolated plateau located around 62 miles south of Qom, he had “preexisting cardiovascular problems and was overweight,” but people in the community whispered that “it was coronavirus [korona] that had taken away his life.” Fewer people than usual showed up at his funeral. The entourage, including his closest kin, sat over 6 feet apart from each other and wore masks and gloves “out of the fear that the virus had reached this forgotten land.” The dead man’s nephew recalled: “I’ve never seen a funeral like this. It was so civilized, it seemed we were in the West.”[1] Continua a leggere

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS IN POLAND DURING THE CORONOVIRUS CRISIS

ELEZIONI PRESIDENZIALI FORZATE IN POLONIA AL TEMPO DEL CORONAVIRUS

di Jan Sawicki*



In tempo di pandemia, una delle prime decisioni di quasi tutti gli ordinamenti almeno formalmente democratici è quella di sospendere i procedimenti elettorali o referendari e rinviarli a dopo che l’emergenza sia cessata, o almeno sia tenuta in parte sotto controllo.
