This important new Draghi speech emphasizes: Europe needs to foster *domestic* growth (instead of over-relying on exports).
Draghi points to the weakness of domestic demand as a major (€zone) problem, driven by weak wage growth ("internal devaluation") and fiscal consolidation.
For 16 months, including in this March conversation, we took every opportunity to remind @POTUS of his promise to Evan’s parents to bring their son home. He, his administration and allies delivered on that promise Thursday - for Evan, Alsu, Paul and many others. Thank you
1: Smiles of joy, tears of relief: Evan Gershkovich and others held in Russia are on their way home. It has been 16 months of wrongful imprisonment for Evan. We celebrate with his wonderful family and all the families reunited today. #IStandWithEvan#WelcomeHomeEvan
From Evan's family:
"We can’t wait to give him the biggest hug and see his sweet and brave smile up close ... and we especially thank Evan’s colleagues at Dow Jones and @WSJ. They have taken care of Evan and our entire family since the beginning, and we are forever grateful.”
For the best part of a year, @felizysolo and I have collaborated on a @WSJ investigation that sought to answer a question: who is sending us scam texts like this one?
