The growth patterns of the global economy after the crisis begin to differ substantially from those we envisaged back in 2009 and which continued during the Great Recession. At that time, we witnessed a decoupling between the damaged developed economies and the thriving emerging economies led by the BRICs, as well as the asymmetric effects caused by a crisis of balance between providers and recipients of capital. At the core of the financial crisis lay an accumulation of unprecedented monetary reserves in the emerging countries as a result of rocketing exports triggered by three decades of continuous gains in productivity and increased exports of raw materials.
The editor and cartoonists at Charlie Hebdo surely believed that publishing cartoons of Muhammad disowning the jihadists of the ISIS or Islamic State was an obligation to defend the sacred liberal principle of freedom of expression. I don't think they realised that, in fact, they were sticking their head out of the trenches of the civilizational war between modernity and barbarism which, in the end, is what they have died for. The issue is that, in Europe, we still refuse to understand the nature of the threat that we're facing. This is not about publishing or not some satirical images, but about thinking or not that Allah is our God and Muhammad its prophet. As we have seen ever since the Islamic State launched its offensive on Iraq, back in June, what awaits unbelievers is clear and...
A few days ago, Lord Smith of Kelvin presented the report which had been appointed to him after the historic referendum held on September 18 in Scotland. Just over 52% of the Scottish population voted against independence, but they did so after the commitment to increase the level of self-government of the Scottish Parliament was announced, assumed by the three main UK parties. The report of the Smith Commission aims to respond to that promise and is signed by the five main Scottish parties: nationalists, Labour, Conservative, Liberal Democrats and Greens. Its content should not sound too new to any Spanish reader and, in many respects, it stays far from the powers already assumed by our Autonomous Communities.
/05.12.14/.- José María Aznar y Sebastián Piñera han escrito una carta abierta en defensa de la libertad y los derechos de todos los demócratas venezolanos. Aznar y Piñera han firmado esta misiva tras conocer que la opositora venezolana María Corina Machado será llevada a los tribunales acusada de ‘conspirar para asesinar al presidente Nicolás Maduro’. Asimismo, denuncian la detención ilegal del también opositor Leopoldo López y la constante presión política y judicial del conjunto de la oposición venezolana.
