VIOLENCIA POLÍTICA

En democracia podemos tener diferencias intensas con nuestros contradictores. Podemos debatir con firmeza, confrontar ideas y defender con convicción nuestras posiciones.

Pero nunca debemos apelar a la violencia. Ni la violencia simbólica que siembra miedo y resentimiento, ni la violencia física que pretende destruir a otros.

Hago un llamado sincero a quienes nos acompañan y respaldan nuestro proyecto: no se dejen arrastrar por el odio, o la provocación. Respondamos a la agresión con argumentos, a la mentira con la verdad y a la violencia con la serenidad. Es la fuerza de la democracia.

POR FAVOR son solo 2:10 de un video que nos puede cambiar la vida.

Me rehúso a ver a Colombia con el nivel de desespero de nuestros hermanos Argentinos que hoy pagan las consecuencias de un gobierno de derecha perverso, opresor, antiderechos y violento.

Este es el ejemplo que quiere seguir Abelardo… 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

Would be madness if San Siro stadium is indeed razed in the name of $. It's a Milan icon. As the FT puts it: "This scale of destruction is unfashionable. It is a dated approach and does not chime with a climate in which sustainability is not only about carbon but about legacy."

Este video debería verlo TODO EL MUNDO. Descárguenlo y súbanlo a todas sus redes sociales, a estados de whatsapp, Instagram, Facebook, Telegram, ect. Que el país se entere lo que nos pasará si un tipo como este señor llega a la presidencia de nuestro país

But NYT is right in calling her a populist. Meloni is astute in reading situations: the Iran conflict, Israel/Gaza and Trump are issues for electorate – and she has reacted accordingly. With the US "bridge" looking wobbly and a sea-change in Hungary, she will shift accordingly.

[Ed Stocker @Ed_Stocker]

A simplistic assessment of Meloni's political evolution from @nytimes : "shifted from teenage neofascist activist to hard-right party leader — before finally emerging as a pragmatic conservative..." She may know how to play in mainstream but socially/culturally still hard-right.

En España tenemos la suerte de tener el mejor Gobierno que existe en el peor momento geopolítico mundial. Debemos defenderlo con uñas y dientes.

¡Vamos! 💪����

A film we made – and a follow up to a long piece I wrote in Monocle about depopulation a few years ago. Rural life is tough but with a bit of frontier spirit (and a job that allows it) why can' the village be the future?

[Pedro Sánchez @sanchezcastejon]

Lo que ocurre en Andalucía y Madrid es un atropello a los derechos de las mujeres.

Mientras este Gobierno defiende los intereses de la gente, el PP gobierna para la élite de siempre.

Esto ocurrió anoche en Buenos Aires.

Quiero mandarle mi cariño a los hermanos argentinos. Es un gran pueblo que no se merece esta ridiculez mundial.

Lo acabo de ver como tres veces. No puedo creerlo. Es de las cosas mas ridículas que ví en mi vida. Es un insulto para nuestro país que este tipo siga siendo el Jefe de Estado. Realmente no puede seguir gobernando mas.

The Stack: We speak with @skiingrogge from ‘Mountain Gazette’. Plus: @Ed_Stocker picks his highlights from Mag to Mag in Milan; ‘Manera’ launches a Benelux edition; and Finnish design title ‘Sälä’ https://t.co/wwNwV6wRu5

[Ed Stocker @Ed_Stocker]

I think @jimmykimmel statement wasn’t particularly helpful and perhaps needed clarifying (something he planned to do) - but taking him off air is ridiculous. How come Fox News continues to broadcast after its $787m settlement to Dominion and court ruling it had made false claims?

This is just so scary on many levels. So you throw a brick (which I don't condone by the way) that means it's justifiable for you to be killed? Talk about greenlighting excessive (and lethal) policing. Dangerous, dangerous and frightening rhetoric.
