Calviño, la ministra 'experta' en presupuestos europeos que solo ha ejecutado el 6% de los fondos

La ministra, que supuestamente era una experta en presupuestos europeos, queda en evidencia con el fracaso del programa Next Generation EU.

Nada más anunciarse el plan de "rescate" europeo contra la crisis económica derivada de la pandemia del coronavirus, los socios comunitarios que tienden a ser más responsables en materia de estabilidad presupuestaria comunicaron sus miedos ante el despilfarro de recursos que podría ocurrir en otras demarcaciones del Viejo Continente donde el rigor fiscal brilla por su ausencia.

Prisoner concentration camp Germany German Nazis

 

Unbreakable will and no fear.

 

The man's name was Horace Greasley.

 

He was a British prisoner of war famous for escaping more than 200 times to visit his girlfriend, a local Jewish girl. Why did he keep coming back? Loyalty.

 

He returned each time with extra food or other contraband to share with his fellow captives.

Greasley spent 5 years as a prisoner of war, during which time he served as a camp barber and worked in the marble quarries.

After the capture, the men were forced to march for ten weeks from France to Poland.

 

The men suffered deplorable conditions and spent a winter, in temperatures as low as -40°C, housed in an old horse stable.

Those who survived the march and the train transfer were beaten, tortured and starved. Greasley was once beaten so badly that he remained unconscious for 2 days.

In 2008, his biography, "Do the Birds Still Sing in Hell?" was published.

 

 Two years after its release, he died at age 91.

 

When I look at this photo, I always admire the defiance on his face.

 

He never gave up on his principles

 The dark side of canned food: Will bisphenol A be banned?

Bisphenol A: an endocrine disruptor with widespread exposure and multiple effects

The European Food Safety Authority is once again re-evaluating the safety of this substance.

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) itself has released a draft scientific opinion for public information recommending a lowering of the limit considered safe for bisphenol A, a substance that has been associated by science with countless health problems and which has been detected in the bodies of

practically the entire population.

The draft is open for public consultation until February 8. Bisphenol A (BPA) is present in many everyday objects, such as the inside of tin cans, and has been associated with multiple negative effects on health at very low concentrations.

el colapso de la Federación Rusa, lo estoy prediciendo, y eso marca la diferencia. Nuevamente, la desintegración podría haberse evitado: habría sido suficiente para no comenzar una guerra con Ucrania. Pero el revanchismo fue más fuerte que la cautela. El colapso de esta federación, una comunidad compleja, artificial, altamente desigual y cada vez más improductiva, se producirá por sus líderes en Moscú, y solo por ellos. Los que aman la federación; los que piensan que si desapareciera la gente estaría peor; aquellos que ven la idea de una Rusia unida como el principal e incluso el único valor político, todos deberían culpar a aquellos y solo a aquellos que comenzaron esta guerra.

 

the collapse of the Russian Federation is inevitable.

 

The disintegration could have been avoided: it would have been enough not to start a war with Ukraine.

 

But revanchism was stronger than caution.

 

The collapse of this federation, a complex, artificial, highly unequal and increasingly unproductive community, will be brought about by its leaders in Moscow, and only by them.

 

Those who love the federation; those who think that if it disappeared people would be worse off; those who see the idea of a united Russia as the main and even the only political value, all should blame those and only those who started this war.

 

We will see how it ends and when.

Companies are leaving China and returning to Europe.

 

The internal devaluation that the eurozone is undergoing continues apace.

 

First it was export growth and a current account surplus that will be the largest in the world next year, surpassing China's 2007 figures.

 

Now, companies that once went to China in search of lower labor costs are starting to return to Europe, which could begin to undergo a process of 'reindustrialization'.

Por qué a España le cuesta tanto ser renovable?

La mayor parte de la energía primaria en nuestro país viene del exterior, casi un 75% en 2018, veinte puntos por encima de la media europea. El petróleo ha alcanzado una producción nacional récord de casi 70 millones de toneladas de crudo español y la demanda convencional doméstica de gas ha subido un 7%

Las energías renovables todavía sufren las consecuencias de la crisis. La falta de consenso político, los pocos incentivos para el autoconsumo y una lacónica inversión en políticas verdes traban las aparentemente buenas condiciones para implantar una fuerte estructura de energías limpias en nuestro país

The great labor resignation

The 'general strike' after the virus

 

 

The expression the Great Resignation has been coined in the United States to illustrate an astonishing phenomenon: millions of people have given up returning to their jobs after the confinement imposed because of the still ongoing pandemic, that of Covid-19 and its mutant hydras.

 

Can this happen in Europe?

35 million Russians live in houses or apartments without indoor toilets

One Russian in Four Lacks an Indoor Toilet, One of Many Signs There are Now ‘Four Distinct Russias’
 
While the defenestrated pariah of its president wants to set up his own orbital space station, its rural population does not even have a toilet in their homes.
According to a new report by Russia’s state statistical agency, Rosstat, 35 million Russians live in houses or apartments without indoor toilets, 47 million do not have hot water, 29 million don’t have any running water inside their residences, and 22 million do not have central heating

Is such a contrast possible in the same country?

 Germany's shame

 

The most serious case is Gerhard Schröder, Social Democrat Chancellor of Germany between 1998 and 2005. During his government, Schröder favored the import of Russian gas for his country's energy supply. He agreed with Putin on the construction of the Nord Stream gas pipeline, which began in April 2005, only months before the German Chancellor's electoral defeat. Weeks later, Schröder became chairman of the board of directors of the German-Russian Nord Stream AG gas pipeline (it became operational in 2011). But there was more: in 2017 he was appointed chairman of the board of directors of Rosneft, Russia's state-owned oil company, and he recently accepted a seat on the board of directors of the Russian giant Gazprom, starting next June

Germany's dependence on Russian gas became a crisis with the punitive measures imposed on Russia by the European Union for the invasion of Ukraine. At that time, the license was ready for Nord Stream II to go into operation. The day after the invasion, the license was blocked by decision of the Social Democrat Olaf Scholz. In an interview with The New York Times, former Chancellor Schröder said: "I did what I could. At least one of the parties trusts me." According to the same U.S. newspaper, when he was Chancellor of Germany, Schröder received a salary of US$9,000 per month. Now he receives US$1 million a year for his participation in the boards of directors of Russian companies.

Sweden to boost military on Gotland amid Russia fears

 

 

STOCKHOLM, April 29 - Sweden's government said on Friday it had put aside up to 1.6 billion Swedish crowns ($163 million) to strengthen its military infrastructure on the strategically important island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea amid increased tensions with nearby Russia.

 

Sweden has been rebuilding its military over the last decade, particularly since Russia's annexation of Crimea from Ukraine in 2014

 


Russia signs document of understanding with Algeria to boost relations

 

Beware of the Sahel and Russia and/or China

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Tuesday signed a document from Algiers, where he met with Algerian President Abdelmayid Tebune to strengthen bilateral relations between the two countries in the context of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

 

"In order to develop political relations and strengthen commercial, economic, military, artistic, cultural and humanitarian cooperation, we have conveyed to President Tebune the invitation of his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, to pay a visit to Moscow," he said, as reported by the APS news agency.

Russia and its contempt for the West

 

 

Russia widens its tentacles in Libya and Algeria with an eye on the Sahel

Russia has in recent weeks tightened its economic and political relations with Libya and Algeria, two countries with which it has had close bilateral relations for decades and which it now sees as a springboard for its expansionist strategy in North Africa and the Sahel, key regions for the future of the European Union.

 

In the case of Libya, the Russian anchor is firmly seated in the east, where it has been collaborating since 2015 with the controversial Marshal Khalifa Hafter, guardian of the Parliament in the eastern city of Tobrouk and strongman of the country thanks to his control of most of the oil resources.

 


Meanwhile Yevgeny Prigozhin earned money in the Sahel.

 History can repeat itself: in 1939, Stalin attacked Finland, expecting it to collapse in a few days.

 

Instead, it fought back and the Russian army received a "nosebleed". It was almost a year before the so-called Winter War ended, in which Finland lost territory but remained an independent country.

 

There is at least a possibility that the war in Ukraine will end in a similar way.

 

We are only at the beginning of things, and just because Ukraine has held out so far, that doesn't mean it will be able to counter the full power of Russia for long.

 

But the first round has certainly gone well for the Ukrainians, and the response from the West has been much stronger than most people expected. Chief among them, Vladimir Putin.

All through a "Russian group", allegedly led by #Sadovnikov, to create a cryptocurrency platform that would allow the financing of the independent Catalonia

 

Terradellas claims that in the meeting he offered Puigdemont "to count on ten thousand soldiers and pay all the Catalan debt", but the former president "es va cagar a les calces" (in Spanish: "se cagó en los calzoncillos"). This Russian group "wanted to make Catalonia a country like Switzerland".

The future Hungarian Soviet Union?

 

the defenestrated man who whispered to the horses

 

Hungary cornered in Europe and possibly without access to 27.5 billion euros.

 

It is one thing to remain "neutral" and another thing to advocate/worship Putin.

 

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban stated about the crimes committed by the Russian military in Bucza, near Kiev, that "we cannot believe even what we see with our own eyes." He also announced that Hungary would not support EU sanctions on Russian oil and gas.

 

 


Putin has put the Russians into a very very very very black hole.

However this war ends, I don't think we will see the Russian people coming out of that hole. And that is worse than death.

El silencio de Merkel y el error alemán con la Rusia de Putin

 

El silencio de Merkel es paralelo a la cautela de su sucesor, el canciller Scholz, que muestra un liderazgo cauteloso tanto en su país como en la Unión Europea

 

Angela Merkel ha sido uno de los personajes políticos más valorados en lo que va de siglo. Catorce años al frente de la Cancillería concluyeron, por propia voluntad, hace pocos meses con aplauso generalizado. Se la ha considerado como una de las patrocinadoras y protagonistas de la integración europea, como gobernante eficaz y política seria y creíble. Como legado dejó la derrota de su partido y la composición de otra coalición a la que se otorga el valor de continuidad de la política de Merkel. Entre otras razones porque el nuevo canciller fue su socio de coalición y vicecanciller durante la ultima legislatura

Alemania pudo haber mostrado cautela en sus contratos con Rusia, especialmente durante la última década, una vez que era evidente el belicismo de Putin y su tentación expansionista. Alemania apostó por Rusia y por Putin y esa confianza ha fallado. Afronta ahora el coste del error que pasa por limitar la dependencia energética (al menos mientras Rusia siga con su belicismo expansionista). Tendrá que asumir una recesión durante un tiempo mientras se produzca la recomposición del mix energético. Algo que no será exclusivo de Alemania ya que contagia a los demás europeos.

 

El silencio de Merkel es paralelo a la cautela de su sucesor, el canciller Scholz, que muestra un liderazgo cauteloso tanto en su país como en la Unión Europea. Es cierto que Alemania y Europa están aplicando una resistencia activa a Putin, pero también una resistencia calculada y gradual; temerosa a la hora de trasladar a su opinión pública el coste de los errores anteriores por una dependencia energética insoportable que no es fácil rectificar de inmediato. Más que nunca Europa necesita liderazgo, firmeza frente a Putin (y frente a Orban) porque más vale una vez rojo que todo el tiempo colorado.

 

 

La guerra ruso-ucraniana, la guerra de Putin, coloca en almoneda la política de Merkel sin que la canciller haya dicho una sola palabra, una explicación, un análisis o una propuesta o recomendación alternativa. Merkel calla, quizá porque se lo propuso desde que dejó la cancillería, aplicando ese undécimo mandamiento no escrito que reza: “si te vas… no estorbes, no molestes”. Pero ante so después tendrá que explicarse y sus argumentos tendrán interés para su legado.

 

No obstante, con la que está cayendo Merkel debe explicar las razones de su estrategia de acercamiento a Rusia y a Putin y del estrechamiento de lazos entre ambas potencias que ahora se acredita como un error capital. Es cierto que la estrategia hacia el este no es exclusiva de Merkel, ha sido una constante de la política alemana, al menos desde la etapa Brand (e incluso desde Adenauer); acercamiento sin demérito de la alianza Atlántica con Estados Unidos y Gran Bretaña, y de la decidida amistad franco alemana. Alemania entendió en la postguerra y la guerra fría que debía mantener una mano tendida y una puerta abierta para una relación preferente con Rusia; con la URSS y luego con la nueva-vieja Rusia de Putin.ç
