Thailand’s political hopefuls register for May election

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:36:58 GMT

BANGKOK (AP) — Hundreds of would-be lawmakers in Thailand on Monday began the official registration process for the upcoming general election, a vote that will pit supporters of an exiled prime minister against the conservative political establishment and its allies in the military.Dressed in T-shirts and jackets in their party colors, and backed by groups of noisy supporters, the political hopefuls pushed their way past a throng of journalists to cram into a Bangkok stadium and complete the paperwork to qualify for the May 14 election. Underscoring the political tensions, four protesters under the watchful eyes of two dozen police officers held up signs demanding changes to Article 112 of the constitution, which carries harsh penalties for defaming the country’s monarch. Calls for reform of the law have increased in recent years but remain a major taboo in a country where the royal family has traditionally been seen as untouchable. Prayuth Chan-ocha, the incumbent prime minister, r...

Facebook’s top EU lobbyist wins Finnish parliament seat

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:36:58 GMT

Meta’s top lobbyist in Brussels is off to Helsinki, after winning a seat Sunday in the Finnish election. Aura Salla, who leads Facebook parent company Meta’s public policy team in Brussels, won a seat in the Finnish parliament for the center-right National Coalition Party, she tweeted late Sunday. The fiscally conservative National Coalition Party won the most votes in Sunday’s election, defeating outgoing center-left Prime Minister Sanna Marin.In a phone interview Monday morning, Salla said she wants to push Finland to take a “more proactive” role in European politics — and promised to fight domestically for a “stable economy,” a subject on which her party attacked Marin’s Social Democrats. “We cannot have our welfare society in Finland, if we don’t have a stable economy,” she told POLITICO from Finland. “That was one of the primary reasons for me to run because I was super worried how this social-democratic le...

Bulgaria faces coalition talks after close election

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:36:58 GMT

The center-right GERB party was the winner in Bulgaria’s election on Sunday night.In the final count, GERB won 26.5 percent of the vote, with a pro-Western coalition led by Continuing the Change (PP) and Democratic Bulgaria scoring 24.9 percent.Those results signal renewed coalition talks, much to the dismay of voters who have been to the polls five times in the last two years.The last round of voting was seen by many as a make-or-break test for GERB, whose leader Boyko Borissov served as prime minister from 2009 to 2021, until nationwide protests erupted over his government’s role in the country’s rampant corruption.Continuing the Change, led by Harvard graduates Kiril Petkov and Asen Vasilev, and Democratic Bulgaria, led by Hristo Ivanov, campaigned on a promise to make Bulgaria a “European country,” by raising the standard of health care and education, and making the judiciary independent. Meanwhile, the nationalist Revival party, which is pro-Russia, anti-NAT...

ASK IRA: Does Jimmy Butler need to become more of a Heat leader?

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:36:58 GMT

Q: It’s time for a new culture carrier. – Ira.A: Which is what this season-ending tribute to Udonis Haslem is all about, recognizing the end of an era and then beginning the search for another carrier of the culture torch. Often that is the senior member of the team in terms of age. But Kyle Lowry, at 37, is more about still finding his place with the team. Often it is a team’s best player. But Jimmy Butler tends to be off on his own once the game clock is off. Ultimately, it has to be a player who is viewed as a face of the franchise going forward. That seemingly would have Bam Adebayo as the next in line. And it is a role Bam says he covets. Now all he has to do is live up to a 20-season legacy. In a best-case scenario, Jimmy would assume that mantle, but he appears to have little desire for such.Q: No Omer Yurtseven. No Victor Oladipo. I missed the Final Four for this? – Xavier.A: Based on the way the final week of the season looks like it’s setting ...
