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...
Before the performance of apparent productivity of labour, which in some countries, including Spain, is enhanced by a simple economic downturn, one could also wonder about Total Factor Productivity (TFP), also called Multifactor Productivity, which measures the technological efficiency of the economy. A positive development would send signals that the improvement of competitiveness could be sustainable in the long term.
On 4 December, Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the citizens of his country in his traditional speech on the state of the nation. This annual address, which can be divided into three parts – Economy, Foreign and Defence Policy – is intended primarily for the Russian people and describes the medium-term strategy of the Kremlin. According to the Russian President, the next four or five years are going to be very difficult and critical for Russia. Given the popular belief that the Russians are a nation of survivors who thrive in difficult situations and never give up, Putin proclaimed that they must face the challenges and win and, presenting himself as the only man capable of ensuring the stability of country, proposed 'not waste a good crisis like this one.'
/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.
José María Aznar and Sebastián Piñera have written an open letter in defense of the freedom and the rights of all Venezuelan Democrats. Aznar and Piñera have signed this letter after learning that the Venezuelan opposition leader, María Corina Machado, will be taken to court accused of 'conspiring to assassinate President Nicolás Maduro'. They have also denounced the illegal detention of Leopoldo López, another opposition leader, and the constant political and legal pressure exerted on all the Venezuelan opposition.
Durante el último año la inflación se ha elevado sustancialmente en España. El IPC crece al 3,5%, frente al 2,2% de hace un año; el deflactor del PIB, lo hace a cerca del 5%; la inflación subyacente sube a casi el 3%. El diferencial de inflación con la eurozona es de 1,4 puntos, frente a los 0,5 puntos de hace un año. El cáncer inflacionista produce pérdida de competitividad de la producción española y se va a traducir en menor crecimiento y menor empleo. La causa principal de la inflación excesiva no es el choque de oferta petrolífero, sino la política económica del Gobierno: la política presupuestaria, demasiado expansiva en el actual contexto monetario de la eurozona, y la ausencia de reformas estructurales, que limita el crecimiento potencial de la economía española.
