Esta notícia és clau per entendre com es comporta Mazón: si aguanta fins a 2027 o convoca eleccions ell té sou d’expresident garantit 15 anys; en té ara 50 així que podria jubilar-se amb sou públic sense demanar favors. Si dimitix, no. www.eldiario.es/comunitat-va...

This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker - published almost exactly 70 years ago in April 1955 - features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist and rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea!

Es espectacular lo que está pasando, la forma en la que la oposición político/mediática ha claudicado y cómo todos seguimos como si nada mientras caemos, poco a poco, en un abismo de autoritarismo sin precedentes en la historia reciente

Vaya una dictadura comunista rara esta en la que un juez quiere condenar a un cómico por decir que hay que demoler un monumento fascista y a ningún juez se le ocurre condenar a un general por decir que hay que fusilar a 26 millones de comunistas.

This is Volodymyr Zelensky, President of Ukraine. He is Jewish. His grandfather fought Nazis in WW2. Many of his relatives were killed in the Holocaust. He is standing up to a dictator. Because he is brave. Because he knows what happens if you don't.
