This piece by @mariaramirez.bsky.social tells the incredible journey of Picasso's 'Guernica', from fundraising tool to global piece icon. A painting that's travelled thousands of miles, hung behind a bulletproof glass and been embraced in Ukraine, Gaza and Sudan

Idea UK shd not align with EU 'cos most firms don't export = fallacy:
-EU=half UK trade
-3.3m jobs depend on exports to EU (TUC)
-Cut trade barriers=cut prices
-Economies tend to follow big neighbours' rules
-EU rules don't affect most small shops, sole traders=min. 50% of firms

Gli anni 70 raccontati da Mario Calabresi @benedettatobagi.bsky.social e @saracpoma.bsky.social, il grandissimo momento del @journalismfestival.com. Giornalismo, emozione, memoria… e Venditti

Los periodistas de @direkt36.bsky.social cuentan en @journalismfestival.com cómo hicieron el documental que denunció la corrupción y el conflicto de intereses de Orbán y su entorno. Mucho que aprender de los reporteros húngaros

Contra el apocalipsis La gravedad de los retos y la fuerza de los ultras en algunos países son realidades obvias, pero la explotación del supuesto apocalipsis también es un mal de la política pública

Hay señales de que la democracia es más fuerte de lo que lo apocalípticos presagian a menud por interés. Escribo un articulo se opinión sobre Hungría y más www.eldiario.es/129_c89a11?u...

Beautiful South! I forgot about them in the last… I was going to say 20
years but it’s more like 30 omg!

Gracias, María!

In a joyful Budapest, I see the chance of an unprecedented transition | Timothy Garton Ash With the ejection of Trumpian hero Viktor Orbán, Hungarians demanded a restored democracy. Now, Europe must support them, says historian, political writer and Guardian columnist Timothy Garton Ash

“The critical question now is whether Hungary can be the first country in the world to emerge from such a far-reaching populist erosion of democracy… and whether Europe has the political will and imagination to enable it to succeed,” writes @fromtga.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Enrique VIII contra el Brexit: el Gobierno británico se acerca al mercado único de tapadillo. El 13 de mayo presentará una ley que permitirá alinear las reglas británicas con las de la UE de manera exprés y con menos escrutinio parlamentario.

Ursula von der Leyen: "Hungary has chosen Europe. Europe has always chosen Hungary. A country reclaims its European path. The Union grows stronger."

Yes, the U.S. is the exception.

Recordatorio contra los enamorados del apocalipsis

@direkt36.bsky.social and so many 👏👏👏

Orban reconoce la derrota. Europa, la cuna de la democracia al fin y al cabo

Ojo a los escaños ahora.

Maybe a new trend? www.economist.com/interactive/...

Son los primeros datos, pero pinta a noche noticiosa en Hungría, importante para toda Europa.

Información que no se debe olvidar. Trump no tiene el apoyo de la mayoría de la población en EEUU en esta guerra (ni en muchas otras políticas)👇

A key evening for Europe

Un buen momento para recordar que la ira de Putin se desató cuando Ucrania intentó acercarse a la UE con su acuerdo de cooperación. El Brexit a ojos de un ucraniano debe ser pura locura...

Global democracy is in better shape than you think. “The scores of nearly three-quarters of countries held steady or improved over the past year, and the global index rose by 0.02 points—one of the biggest increases since 2012.” From @economist.com
