Los británicos acusan a los irlandeses de tener trato preferente al cruzar la aduana en España. Son geniales.
Me temo que se olvidaron ya de aquello de que "Brexit es Brexit"
RT @astroehlein: I wonder how many of those Brits complaining that EU citizens get “preferential treatment” when traveling in the EU also voted to take away that “preferential treatment” from themselves… 🤔
Here is my visit to the Rotterdam harbor to tell you about Oil tankers unloading Russian oil.
This week @TheEconomist Charlemagne @spignal mentions my visit to the Rotterdam harbor and to Nord Stream 1 and 2.
If you are curious about what we learned, you can find the videos of the two visits below.

RT @GeorgZachmann: While stopping the little remaining gas exports to PL (see orange line in figure) looks like a sideshow in RU-EU gas trade; it would destroy two German certainties in a single stroke:
1) "RU always merits contracts"
2) and implicitly:"mutual dependence safeguards flows in crisis"

Great thread on how French election reproduces the citizens of somewhere versus citizens of anywhere divide of Brexit and Trump and what it all means.
RT @page_eco: Behind Macron’s victory there is a large social divide.
Macron got 71% of professionals/managers.
Le Pen got 68% of workers.
In France, like in the US and other countries, the political fight is not between left and right anymore.

New research confirms in new ways Brexit was a uniquely powerful and unusually bad policy decision: it had a catastrophic impact on the trading relationships of British firms in Europe relative to other places. More pronounced for smaller EU countries.
RT @pmdfoster: The research looked at 1,200 individual product lines traded UK-EU27 and saw them shrinking sharply, especially with smaller EU countries. See charts/2

The money keeps flowing to Putin: another oil tanker from Russia arrives in an EU port tomorrow, the 26th of April.
Destination: Bulgaria - Burgas
Ship Name: Flavin

RT @mariademertzis: I wanted to understand why Putin asked for gas to be paid in rubles. Any payment in euros will have to be settled via Target 2, the EU settlement system. This means that even if Europeans can transfer💶to Gazprombank (which is unsanctioned) the Russian state cannot access them.🧵
RT @yarotrof: Everyone focused on Russian intelligence assets in Ukraine before the war. Given the remarkable unity of Ukrainian society now and the intense opposition to the invasion among some Russians, I am wondering whether Kyiv is creating a far better network within Russia.
RT @AdrianVL1982: Buen día para subir esta foto 🇪🇺🇪🇦🇫🇷
RT @LuisMerono_Cs: 🇪🇺 En Europa los partidos Liberales, @CiudadanosCs representando a España, o el partido de Macron por Francia, formamos una fuerte alianza en un mismo grupo (@RenewEurope) que lucha por las libertades, contra los populismos y por una Europa fuerte y unida.

Esta es la clave del día. 42% de los votantes de Melanchon votaron a Macron, frente al 17% que votaron a Le Pen.
via @SKalyvas
RT @alexandreafonso: Vote transfers from Mélenchon:
- 42% voted Macron
- 17% voted Le Pen
- 17% voted blank
- 24% didn't vote
Gran victoria para @EmmanuelMacron y gran victoria para Europa: Macron hizo campaña por una Europa más fuerte, con autonomía estratégica en el mundo. Ahora Macron es, también, indiscutiblemente, el líder de Europa.
¡Felicidades!
Europe about the do Oil embargo the exact wrong way: instead of sharp and sudden, which will flood Russian oil wells and destrog Russian oil industry, slow and steady allowing Putin to find new buyers. Important thread @JosepBorrellF @CharlesMichel @vonderleyen
RT @RobinBrooksIIF: Debate over a Russian oil embargo is picking up. Consensus is for gradually cutting quantities of oil Russia can export, but - if the goal is to end war q…
Good analytical thread from General Ryan, arriving to similar conclusions as other respected top analysts such as @KofmanMichael: it is unlikely that a major Russian offensive in Donbas succeeds. I hope there are right.
RT @WarintheFuture: It is 59 days since the Russian invasion of #Ukraine began. Today I will update my analysis of Russia’s shift to the east and examine the prospects for Russian success there. 1/25 (Image - @UAWeap…
Mientras esperamos a los resultados de estas elecciones clave para Europe, la mejor lectura sobre las reformas que ha conseguido hacer @EmmanuelMacron, muy similares a las que proponíamos @toniroldanm y yo en "Recuperar el futuro" y que están en el programa de @CiudadanosCs
RT @toniroldanm: Ya casi se me había olvidado el hermoso aspecto de la cuarterola en papel
RT @Mylovanov: Thank you Max Hagler for interviewing me and other Ukrainian economists on the issue of oil embargo. Thank you for giving us voice as an alternative and complement to Western, and German, economists. My points 1. Russian gas and oil contribute to killing people in Ukraine 1/
RT @sndurlauf: 1/ Every scholar should be following @Mylovanov to understand the heroic fight he leads to preserve Ukrainian academia. Perhaps more important, his unparalleled insights and moral understanding make clear why Ukraine will eventually prevail.
