Hello good morning!
The ideal is fine. Reality is often the one that ends up prevailing. And the green plans in Europe, the position of allies of the EU and NATO towards Russia or the ‘neither-local-nor-autonomous’ campaign towards 28-M are already adapted to this.
Europe’s green agenda is, novelty, on a tightrope: the president of the Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, suggests slowing down the production of environmental laws. Parties, the countryside or Macron press for it to be so. Because of the crisis.
Will Russia pay for Ukraine? The Council of Europe agrees that Russia pay for the damages of the invasion… and supports that a special court judge Putin… But Turkey, a member of NATO, and Hungary, of the EU, distance themselves. Your own interests count.
What a less local campaign… This is what is expressed, every day, on the way to 28-M. There is a why. He says like this: “The PP helps itself, it will continue to talk about Bildu, but think about Vox.” The popular ones find the story that they did not find in Catalonia or in the economy and plug leaks.
Real Madrid is out of the final. The League leaves the whites far from Barça and between doubts and defeats. In the Champions League it’s usually another story… Not last night, as they fell resoundingly 4-0 in the semis at City’s home. Ode to football in Manchester. Historical.
Buying little and cheap may end: Brussels requires that imports of less than 150 euros pay customs fees. That is, it is proposed that Amazon or AliExpress charge for it. The countdown begins.
Is Spain in free fall? The birth rate in the country is 10% less than in 2019, especially due to the economic precariousness of young people. And in the medium term no changes are foreseen. It leads to more immigration, older mothers, a real reconciliation and more.
The world’s largest architectural event takes place these days in Venice and is celebrated with a different accent as Africa makes its voice heard in Europe. Decolonization and the environmental battle take command. Also an empty Russian flag.

The relevance of forgetting helicopter parenting. Mental health disorders among children and adolescents have skyrocketed in the aftermath of the pandemic. Now it is pointed out that, beyond that, the lack of free play and the growing overprotection are key factors.
Alternatives to sugar that are best avoided. Excessive consumption of sweeteners accumulates alerts from the World Health Organization, although apparently healthier options should also be monitored. Like natural fructose.
The day China and Taiwan ceased to be one. The relationship between Beijing and Taipei is straining everything. Reunification? Independence? Whatever you choose, there is a crisis. Understanding how it got there is key. And the gap comes from even before communist China.
