En @elOrdenMundial sabemos cuáles son los temas candentes en el mundo de la historia y las relaciones internacionales. Por eso hemos sacado un mapa del PIB per capita en Austria-Hungría en 1910.

Hay millones de mensajes en foros y un debate acalorado sobre el tema.

[Notes from Poland 🇵🇱 @notesfrompoland]

Kraków has become the first city in Poland to ban older cars from its roads in a bid to cut pollution.

Its new "clean transport zone" - which is also the first in Central and Eastern Europe, according to activists - will be introduced in 2024 https://t.co/TgVKtbuAR5

I'm reading Zamoyski's history of Poland and I'm struck about how little Western Europeans are taught about the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth!

In 1619, it controlled a quarter/third of Europe's landmass, with a rich culture, a strong education and a proto-democracy.

Es brutal como el capitalismo digital transforma nuestras ciudades.

El entorno digital de apps, es decir, no físico, transforma y moldea el espacio de la ciudad, la manera de ocuparlo y como lo consumimos

El algoritmo de Instagram profundiza la gentrificación de los barrios

Today is the 40th anniversary of the introduction of martial law in Poland. Here's legendary photo by Chris Niedenthal. Kino Moskwa in Warsaw was just showing Coppola's "Apocalypse Now", December 1981

Ah! Que còmode seria un govern que anés d’ERC als Comuns, posant pel mig a Junts i la CUP. Tot quedaria neutralitzat. Res seria possible. De tanta estabilitat, res no es mouria.

Poland's restrictive abortion ruling will reportedly come into effect later today, after months of delay. Abortion will be legal only in cases of danger to the life or health of the mother or when the pregnancy is the result of a criminal act. Protesters are already gathering.

This is the best one I’ve seen so far fwiw

Aquella història que mai hauria imaginat escriure com a periodista a l'avorrida corresponsalia de Brussel·les. Ho té tot: un eurodiputat homòfob hongarès en una orgia gay, un intent de fugida per la finestra, drogues, excuses i immunitats.

What's the most important year in Poland's post-1989 political history? To me, it's clearly 2005. The collapse of SLD's electorate, and the emergence of the PO-PiS duopoly, 1st Parliamentary elections narrowly won by PiS and then the Presidential dual of L.Kaczynski and Tusk 1/

[Stanley Bill @StanleySBill]

Turnout of 68.9% - the highest of any election (presidential, parliamentary or other) in post-1989 Poland. Big mobilisation of voters to participate in democratic processes.
