This time it is 123 million euros to Togo
Concluded in Lome under the 10th European Development Fund, the agreement was signed Friday by EU Commission Head of Delegation Filiberto Sebregondi and Togolese Cooperation, Development and Planning Minister Gilbert Bawara.

46 percent of this money is aimed at boosting the economy through funding infrastructure projects.
Speaking during the same occasion, EU Delegation Chief Filiberto Sebregondi said that cooperation with Togo had already been set in motion by the signing, in early 2008, of an agreement covering three major projects, including the electoral process and remediation macroeconomic projects, at a total cost of 31.4 million euros.
In addition, macroeconomic support through the cancellation of multilateral debt and budget support accounts for 26 percent of the total.

No matter what the arguments to the contrary the EU is certainly already acting like a state, moreover one that has no democratic accountability, did any of us ever vote for our money to be so blatantly used to buy kudos for the European Union.

It seems that just posing a question about BNP advances in the local elections is enough to brand someone a racist supporter of a hateful group of violent criminals.

Actually the venom expressed by the main parties and in the media against the BNP is perhaps a pointer to the reason why the BNP are making small but important steps forwards, but this is happening below the radar of the nation’s media.

Because the BNP are denied coverage in the media they are forced to resort to the old ways of building support, instead of having their policies aired and debated in the media they have to get out onto the streets and speak to people face to face, unfortunately in that person to person arena there is no alternative argument on the table. This could be an indication that the dismissive attitude shown by the main parties and in the media is working for the BNP.
