The current situation of the French government continues to deteriorate every day. Last Tuesday, the cabinet headed by Manuel Valls saved a confidence vote by just 25 votes in the National Assembly, with 31 Socialist MPs locked in abstention and the Government saved by the votes of the Radical Party. The Valls II cabinet is thus very damaged to set forth the reforms it has presented upon its return from last August's holidays, and therefore, it seems difficult that they will survive in the medium term. In addition, surveys are stubborn when showing a terrible political panorama for the future of France, with the Socialist Party sinking and its voters fleeing to the populist and extremist ideas presented by the National Front and Marine Le Pen. President Hollande is already rejected by...
'China and Russia are as close as teeth and lips', Li Hui, Chinese Ambassador in Moscow, has stated referring to the increasingly close and intense collaboration between the two countries. The sanctions imposed to Russia by the West have strengthened the cooperation between the two countries in economic, political and military matters. Despite their historical disagreements and mutual mistrust during the Cold War, China and Russia have much in common: they share the modernitarian model (modern authoritarian regimes under the guidance of a single party undermined by corruption and cronyism), as Josef Joffe has already said; both are members of the BRICS, and they have nearly identical economic interests in Latin America, Central Asia and Africa. But more important is the fact that they...
The Swedish elections have produced three important results. The first one refers to the defeat of the government which, for eight years, has been led by the Conservatives with Fredrik Reinfeldt as the leader, passing the responsibility to form government to the Social Democrats. It is a paradoxical defeat since Sweden has been the most successful European country in overcoming the 2008-2009 crisis and, since then, it has exhibited the most dynamic growth among developed countries. This positive economic performance has been recognised by the voters, as the exit polls show. In them, the Conservatives are the first preference by a wide margin when it comes to economic management ability. The interpretation of this fact, never seen in Swedish politics, is that precisely their strength...
/15.09.14/.- Hablar de Isidoro Álvarez es hablar del que posiblemente sea el proyecto empresarial genuinamente español más exitoso de cuantos ha habido. Siempre desde su abrumadora discreción, Isidoro Álvarez cogió las riendas de El Corte Inglés en 1989 y desde entonces protagonizó la nada fácil labor de hacer crecer aún más el que ha sido el buque insignia de la distribución en España durante muchas décadas.
