Giorgi Dvalishvili about the Protests in Georgia

28 April 2024. Georgia was once considered a democratic beacon of hope in Eastern Europe. Together with its neighbours Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine, it has been a member of the EU’s Eastern Partnership for 15 years, signed an Association and Free Trade Agreement with the EU eight years ago and applied for EU membership on 3 March 2022.
But the Caucasian state has been in turmoil since exactly one year ago, when the government tried to push through a controversial “agent law” for state control of non-governmental organisations, which triggered massive protests from the civilian population. read more Giorgi Dvalishvili about the Protests in Georgia

We mourn the loss of Hella Pick

5 April 2024. We mourn the loss of Hella Pick, who died yesterday, Thursday, in London, three weeks before her 97th birthday. Hella Pick was an extraordinary woman who lived an extraordinary life.
Hella was with the M100 Sanssouci Colloquium from the beginning as a loyal companion and important source of inspiration. At the time, she was a very close associate and confidante of M100 co-founder Lord Weidenfeld, and was responsible for his “Club of Three” debate format, among other things. She had previously spent 30 years as a foreign affairs journalist for the Guardian and was regarded as THE grand dame of political journalism. She was a pioneer who entered the male-dominated world of foreign affairs journalism in the 1950s. She travelled the world, met presidents such as John F Kennedy, interviewed ministers and kings and was a regular guest at Werner Höfer’s Press Club for many years, the only woman, of course.
