The report of the Committee of Experts designated by the Government to lay the foundations of a much needed tax reform in our country marks a significant milestone in the process that began in July 2013. Any economic reform in a country that, like Spain, aspires to hobnob with major world economies needs to be preceded by a process of calm reflection as well as civil society involvement in order to maximise the credibility and durability of the implemented measures.
'Do you want the Veneto to become an independent and sovereign federal republic?' This is the question that the people of the Veneto region can answer since last Monday, March 16, through to Friday, 21 on the web page www.plebiscito.eu. The secessionist consultation has been launched by the Indipendenza Veneta movement, which follows the plebiscitary model designed by Artur Mas for Catalonia both in its objectives and in the rhetoric used. However, the political relevance of the query is given by the strong support it has found in the president of the Veneto region, Luca Zaia, from the Lega Nord, who hopes to capitalise a favourable outcome of the Palazzo Balbi's independence thesis.
Last Sunday legislative elections were held in Colombia, just three months after a presidential election in which President Juan Manuel Santos opts for a second term of four years. The candidate coming out of these elections will have to discuss the results of the negotiations with the FARC, which still continue in Cuba.

Minister of Justice Alberto Ruiz-Gallardón participated on Wednesday, 12 March, in the FAES-ESADE Law School Human Rights Seminar Antonio Marzal on the historical evolution of the right to effective legal protection. Ruiz-Gallardon stated that the new Organic Law on the Judiciary would strengthen the National High Court by increasing its responsibilities. Therefore, “the National High Court will be strengthened with a new civil chamber”.
On the 25th of February 1956, fifty-eight years ago now, Nikita Khruschev, the then first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), delivered his historic ‘”secret speech” on the occasion of the 20th Congress of the Party. One thousand four hundred and thirty-six shocked soviet delegates, who were forbidden to take notes, witnessed how Khruschev denounced Stalin’s personality cult and the mistakes the soviet dictator made during the early phase of the Great Patriotic War, Russia’s bloody struggle with Hitler’s Germany.
