Bolivarianismo puro. Reciben un rescate tramposo y se gastan el dinero de los españoles persiguiendo a periodistas.
RT @alvaronieto: La aerolínea Plus Ultra me acaba de demandar por derecho al honor y pide que le pague, junto al resto de mis excompañeros de Vozpópuli, una indemnización de 4,6 millones por el perjuicio causado por haber denunciado su polémico rescate por parte del Gobierno. NO NOS CALLARÁN.
We are working from Parliament to put an end to Schöder´s impunity.
#Tether is the keystone of the whole system, and it is a deeply flawed keystone. Once it collapses, it will be very hard for any other crypto asset to stay valuable.

Hora de acabar con la jornada continua (en realidad, matinal):
- empobrece en tiempo y dinero a las familias
- agudiza las desigualdades educativas
- impide la conciliación laboral de la mujer
- perjudica más a los niños de familias desfavorecidas

Gran mensaje del primer ministro búlgaro Petkov: si Bulgaria, el país más pobre y con mayor dependencia del gas ruso, puede mantenerse firme ante Rusia, todos los demás países también pueden hacerlo.
RT @iameurmishvili: Simple and direct message to many capitals from 🇧🇬Prime Minister Kiril Petkov - if Bulgaria stands up to Russia, everyone should be able to.

Very important: the demand response to high gas prices in Europe was more than enough in April to not import any Russian gas.
RT @McwilliamsBen: The EU needs to reduce gas demand by around 20% to end Russian imports.
📈 Our estimates suggested that demand was 8% down in Q1 y-o-y (now confirmed by Eurostat for Jan+Feb).
🚨This same methodology implies a *23%* drop in April demand.
Stop to think about it for a minute.
One Day.

RT @Osinttechnical: ISW- “The Ukrainian counteroffensive north of Kharkiv City continued to successfully push Russian forces toward the Russia-Ukraine border on May 10”
RT @RobinBrooksIIF: The share of Greek tankers shipping oil out of Russian ports is up from 37% before the war to 55% since then (blue). The EU holds the key to making an oil embargo effective. It can either prohibit this tanker traffic outright or sanction maritime insurance. With @JonathanPingle
The EU spends another day financing Putin’s war. A new oil tanker from Russia arrives in an EU port today, the 10th of May.

Ship Name: Stena Natalita

In mid-2007, populist manipulation by Peronists of natural gas price in Argentinian had reduced investment while consumption skyrocketed. As a result, the Peronist Government decided from one day to the next to stop supplying Chile.
https://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/13/world/americas/13chile.html
In the 2000s, Chile was dependent on Argentina’s natural gas to meet its energy demand, as a result of its desire to reduce dirtier power sources such as coal and diesel. It built seven pipelines across the Andes. https://www.gem.wiki/GasAndes_Pipelinec

In line with our suggestion in @lemonde , the Commission apparently proposing issuing joint debt to finance Ukraine. Good news.

La escena que narra el comunicado es Orwelliana. Tras acabar con el CIS, el CNI, RTVE, el TC,... este gobierno corrosivo no va a dejar ninguna institución del Estado en pie.

Congratulations on this gesture Mr @eucopresident . Visiting Odessa, which is under constant attack from Russia, is a brave gesture and the best way to remind everyone what #EuropeDay really is about.
RT @KyivIndependent: ⚡️ European Council president visits Odesa.
Charles Michel arrived in Odesa on May 9 to celebrate Europe Day. He met there with Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal and visited a local port.
Bromea el community manager del gobierno de Ucrania ante esta foto en la que el presidente del Consejo Europeo @eucopresident y el primer ministro de Ucrania parecen gemelos, indicándonos cuál es el suyo.
Son unos cracks.
