Hello good morning!
Finally Friday. Coffee and trouble, which is missing: Kyiv pales after the first gap between allies; Sánchez, meanwhile, smiles when counting the votes for multilingualism in Congress, a warning of what is to come?
Is Ukraine losing allies? Poland’s dispute with Ukraine over grain to protect the Polish farmer results in Warsaw stopping sending weapons to Kyiv. First gap between allies. And the atmosphere in the US towards Zelensky is becoming tense. He plays with fire.
Sánchez finds a gap. The PSOE leader is making progress in consolidating a possible majority for his re-election as president by adding 180 yeses to making Congress a multilingual chamber. Now everything focuses on the amnesty. And everything creaks.
“We cannot face today’s problems with the same old ethics,” Professor Van den Hoven, a reference in Brussels, quotes in a video podcast published today by this newspaper. It is the responsibility, he points out, of companies and officials. It resonates beyond.
“Zero tolerance”. The crisis in the Spanish team seems to be on the way to a solution, it will be played on the field, but more fundamental changes are wanted with repercussions that mean “a before and after”, in the words of Alexia Putellas. So.
Labor paradox? Inflation is high, the economy slows down and companies reduce job offers at the OECD level, but they are trying to retain workers, it is noted, breaking “a historical rule.” What does it mean? It is still doubtful.
The power of an image… The photo above, from the Battle of Okinawa in World War II, is one of the icons of US power – even today – in the Pacific. Now the island is protesting against so many American bases. Something breaks.
The trendy anti-stress patch is known as Meghan Markle’s, it is expensive (80 euros for twenty), requires a monthly subscription to an application, and in theory sends “neuroacoustic” vibrations to the brain that calm. Deception or success? What is known.
Abdulrazak Gurnah, writer, Nobel Prize in Literature. “They have hidden from us the stories of forbidden love between natives and settlers.” Read it here.
The other side of the desired açaí. This small and delicious purple berry is traditionally produced and consumed in the Amazon area and today it appears in many Instagram photos. The reality of how it works is very different.
Is suppressing negative thoughts good for mental health? The positive consequence of more and more talk about mental health is that more is also known. A final study answers this directly: yes. Your reasons.
Antonio López, a more than established painter and sculptor, 87 years old, defends in La Vanguardia that “being old has made me freer.” He thus compares the present, the past… and intuits a critical future, this future.
Gemma Nierga, journalist. “On the radio I have learned everything about life… or almost everything.” Read it here.
