News in Brief - EN - 220120

Is iriseoir agus scríbhneoir é Paul Collowald a bhí i láthair nuair an saolaíodh an tAontas Eorpach atá againn inniu. Thosaigh sé nuair a casadh duine de bhunaitheoirí an Aontais, Robert Schuman air. Ina dhiaidh sin, d’oibrigh sé i bpoist éagsúla sa Choimisiún Eorpach agus i bParlaimint na hEorpa. Ina measc sin bhí post mar Ard-Stiúrthóir na Faisnéise agus mar Cheann ar Oifig Phríobháideach Uachtarán na Parlaiminte Pierre Pflimlin. Tá scéal Paul roinnte ina dhá chuid. Seo cuid a dó, ina labhraíonn sé faoina thaithí ag obair le bunaitheoirí an Aontais Eorpaigh. I gcuid a haon, insíonn sé dúinn faoina óige san Eoraip le linn an chogaidh. Tá an podchraoladh seo bunaithe ar agallamh a rinne Valter Mavrič, Ard-Stiúrthóir an Aistriúcháin i bParlaimint na hEorpa.

Chonaic mé saolú na hEorpa – agallamh le Paul Collowald – Cuid 2

Is í Parlaimint na hEorpa agus a cuid Feisirí tofa guth na saoránach san Aontas Eorpach. Is é sin an chúis ar mhaith linn rochtain ar an bParlaimint a thabhairt do gach duine. Tugann na Blúiríní Nuachta léargas tapa duit ar phríomhscéalta an lae i dteangacha oifigiúla uile an Aontais. Is craoladh de chuid Pharlaimint na hEorpa an craoladh seo. Is féidir teacht ar níos mó clár anseo:

Bhásaigh Uachtarán Pharlaimint na hEorpa, David Sassoli, i rith na hoíche ar an aonú lá déag d’Eanáir – ag aois a chúig bliana is trí scóir. Is é a bhí ina Uachtarán ar Pharlaimint na hEorpa ó 2019 i leith. Is mór le haithris an saol a bhí ag an bhfear seo, a bhí ina uachtarán sárchumasach ar an bParlaimint.

Ómós do David Sassoli

Tá cónaí orm ar an gcrosbhealach idir an tOirthear agus an tIarthar. D’fhás mé aníos faoin gcumannachas, agus tá an chuid eile de mo shaol caite agam faoin daonlathas. Cad tá i ndán dúinn amach anseo? Ar ardán My House of European History, tugaimid cuireadh do dhaoine as gach cearn den Eoraip a gcuid scéalta pearsanta a roinnt. Baineann scéal Magdalena le hathrú ollmhór a tháinig ar an Eoraip — deireadh síochánta an chumannachais agus an t-aistriú ón ngéibheann go dtí an tsaoirse. Éileamh ar shaoirse agus ar dhaonlathas atá ann; gairm chatha ar mhná láidre na hEorpa.

‘Idir an tOirthear agus an tIarthar’ – scéal faoin bhfonn saoirse in aimsir leatrom an chumannachais

I mí na Nollag 1989, bhí corraíl shibhialta fhoréigneach ag tarlú sa Rómáin. As sin d’eascair imeachtaí a d’athraigh an tír go deo. Lean scéal Otilia trí shráideanna Bhúcairist agus faigh amach faoi imeachtaí cinniúnacha réabhlóid na Rómáine. Na céadta scéal, doiciméad, grianghraf agus físeán ó dhaoine as gach cearn den Eoraip. Seo chugaibh ‘Mo Scéal Féin’, tionscadal comhoibríoch ó Pharlaimint na hEorpa, a dtagann stair na hEorpa agus saol na saoránach le chéile ann.

Bhraith mé go raibh mé páirteach in eachtra stairiúil — mo chuimhní ó Réabhlóid na Rómáine.
