Il processo di permitting europeo, si sta allentando sempre di più nel nome della competitività industriale e della sovranità. Ma qual è il prezzo che pagano i territori? Ne scrivo su @wireditalia. #economia https://t.co/4xFl8OK15J

Crisi #Electrolux, cosa ne pensano i #sindacati? Qui le interviste a #CGIL, #CISL, #UIL, #USB Mi pare, in sintesi, che la riorganizzazione fosse annunciata. E che il modello nordico forse esista ancora in Svezia. Non qui. #industria #economia.

So Wired Italia is “transitioning away from publishing”. The decision was communicated all of a sudden to the editorial staff a couple of days ago. Whatever that means, it’s sad news. #wireditalia #journalism #condenast

What is Reza Pahlavi doing in Italy? In na nutshell: a pr operation. The son  of the Shah ousted by the Islamic revolution in 1979 is in the country in the middle of a tour which has already seen him in Stockholm. #iran https://t.co/xXTgYtmV7n

Tra Ai, cybersecurity e sfide etiche, #Mastercard si è raccontata a Wired dal sui HQ europeo di Bruxelles. Il settore va ancora bene, ma attende la tempesta perfetta. Mio per @wireditalia #cybersecurity #ai #dati #finanza

Opposite to Roberta Metsola's words, this is how a leader speaks.

[Pedro Sánchez @sanchezcastejon]

Rechazamos la acción militar unilateral de EE.UU. e Israel, que supone una escalada y contribuye a un orden internacional más incierto y hostil.

Rechazamos igualmente las acciones del régimen iraní y de la Guardia Revolucionaria. No podemos permitirnos otra guerra prolongada y devastadora en Oriente Medio.

Exigimos la desescalada inmediata y el pleno respeto del derecho internacional.

Es hora de retomar el diálogo y alcanzar una solución política duradera para la región.

[Antonio Piemontese @apiemontese]

@EP_President here completely forgets to address who launched the first strike today. Statements like these demolish any international credibility of the EU. Which - by the way - is already totally irrelevant.
It's time for diplomacy, not for bombs.

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

The European Parliament has long called for the regime in Iran to dismantle its State instruments of oppression, end its support for proxies of terror, abandon its nuclear ambitions and finally allow its people to be free to choose their own destiny.

The events unfolding in Iran must not lead to a spiral of escalation that could threaten the Middle East, Europe and beyond. The Iranian regime's attacks this morning on GCC countries are inexcusable and unjustifiable.

The regime in Iran must refrain from any further escalation in any targeting of the Gulf States, Israel or European or United States nationals.

We are in close contact with partners in the region to try to find ways forward that protects innocent lives, international law and regional stability.

Last Friday I discovered the FB link on the @icegov website was leading to a young Indian FB profile. I pitched sm magazines, in Italy, India and he US.
The piece was not accepted.
Well, today ICE actually removed it from its website. Nobody is untouchable

The link to the Facebook page of ICE, the U.S. anti-immigration agency, leads to the page of a friendly thirty-year-old Indian man instead of the agency’s official social media property, showing its sloppiness. #ice #epicfail https://t.co/MClU1M1haG

The West is pulling off the mask, but all this debate about the Arctic made me think that the world is still focused on the Northern emisphere. #arctic #globalsouth #us #trump #canada

When he says "This is our hemisphere", I'm afraid he's describing himself as an half-brainer.

[Department of State @StateDept]

This is OUR Hemisphere, and President Trump will not allow our security to be threatened.

Tajani lo ha detto davvero, il Ponte sullo Stretto servirà anche per un’evacuazione in caso di attacco da sud! Milioni di siciliani che se ci attacca Annibale il cartaginese scappano sul ponte. Questo è il nostro ministro degli Esteri…🤦🏼‍♂️
