Hello good morning!
Who was going to say it just days ago: the riot last weekend in Russia stirs up and leads to changes in Europe, China, Africa… Another thing is that they lead to some détente. It does not seem. In Spain, meanwhile, Vox ‘clears’ its way.
Official calm, real nerves: Prigozhin, Wagner’s leader, says he did not want to overthrow Putin; Putin reappears and asks the mercenaries to choose between exile or the army; the prime minister calls for “unity” around Putin… More uncertainty about what is happening in Russia.
Xi Jinping does not know what to make of Putin. The coup is increasingly being interpreted as a show of weakness by Putin, otherwise Beijing’s main strategic ally, which maintains limits on his friendship with Russia. It sounds like a new setback for Putin.
The world also ‘suffers’ from the Russian rebellion: Eastern Europe sees “additional challenges” to its security and will be reinforced via NATO; the future of Russian mercenary operations in Ukraine, Syria, Libya, Sudan, Mozambique… remain up in the air. The changes don’t stop.
The Valencian Community saw itself, before the municipal elections, a thermometer of what could come later; The leader of Vox, today, thinks the same, raising how he imposes an ultra on the PP in the presidency of the Corts. He points to more.
The numbers speak clearly: the Bank of Spain reports that the result of large non-financial companies shoots up 68% and the IMF blames profits for half of the increase in inflation in Europe, far from wages. More fuel to the fire.
Alcaraz’s technique. The young man from Murcia is once again number one in the world of tennis after winning the Queen’s tournament, on grass, just before Wimbledon. His secret: remaster his game by watching videos of Murray and Federer. Notice released.
Education is ahead of partisan interests. Or should, he insists. Another thing is the reality of accumulating educational laws. From the classrooms, this newspaper is reminded of something perhaps forgotten: “The voice of the teachers must also be heard.”

The review scam is the order of the day as reported in La Vanguardia some time ago. Amazon is one of its protagonists. Now measures are taken that will affect its visibility. So.
Thessaloniki, a gem. Greece is in the news this week for the victory with an absolute majority obtained by the conservative candidate Mitsotakis. Serve as an excuse to discover Thessaloniki and its rich history, vibrant culture and delicious cuisine.
They are not vips but ‘vics’. Society evolves and if attention is paid to fashion, celebrities and more, there is already talk that the former “very important people” or VIPs are now giving way to the vics or very important customer. Luxury would be its raison d’etre.
