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.

Even by Ereogan's dismal standards, the last batch of show trials is shocking. See three instances in thread.
RT @aylajean: One of eight people convicted in Turkish trial of civil society figures was Tayfun Kahraman, senior urban planner at Istanbul municipality, who says goodbye here to his little girl after he was sentenced to 18 years in prison

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

No sólo va a haber cumbre de la OTAN en Madrid, sino que encima probablemente va a ser una cumbre histórica, con la ampliación a Finlandia y Suecia.
Y los ministros de Podemos, qué apostamos, se aguantarán, agarrados a su sillón.
RT @elmundoes: Podemos se opone a la celebración de la cumbre de la OTAN en Madrid y pide sustituirla por un encuentro por la paz https://www.elmundo.es/espana/2022/04/25/6266838ce4d4d852578b45c1.html?cid…
RT @YanniKouts: Sweden and Finland will submit NATO applications together sometime between May 16-22, Finland's @iltalehti_fi reports.
Acc to Swedish gov't sources, Sweden has received concrete promises of military guarantees from the US & the UK for the event of a NATO application ~@Aftonbladet
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
IMO: 9787912
Carrying approx 644,001 barrels of Crude Oil worth an estimated $69M

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.🧵
Glosa en @voz_populi @JCacho_Conlupa la gran conferencia que dio Jesús Fernández-Villaverde en la @frdelpino el jueves pasado. Los números hablan de preocupante decadencia de España- no hemos crecido desde 2005 y vamos camino de DOS décadas perdidas.

About time the SPD does the right thing and kicks Schröder out. And about time Europe and Germany extend sanctions to this tool of Putin. He should have learned from Nuremberg not to keep using his favorite excuse,"everyone did it".
And besides, he keeps doing it!
RT @POLITICOEurope: Senior members of Germany's ruling Social Democrats want former Chancellor Gerhard Schröder booted out of the party because of his refusal to denounce…
@AlvaroVargasLl @cayetanaAT ¡Me alegra mucho tu recuperación, querido Mario! Que te mejores y disfrutes todavía de muchos años de salud. un fuerte abrazo.
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 @AlexTaylorNews: Brexiteers (and their media 😀) this morning ...
51.8%/48.1% (where not all 🇬🇧 citizens could vote (incl. me) : "the decisive will of the British people"
58.5%/41.5% (where all 🇫🇷 could, including me 😀) : "a defeat for Macron, France divided, questions for the EU etc etc" 🤡
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.

El robo y reubicación en Rusia de miles de niñoes es un abuso de derechos humanos absolutamente insoportable, desgarrador. El dolor de los padres, condenados a luchar todo el resto de su vida por esos niños es inimaginable.
RT @ElnAlfaro: "En un solo día, el 19 de marzo, Rusia reubicó a 2.389 niños procedentes de territorios ucranianos del Donbás hacia sus propias fronteras y recolocados posteriormente en las regiones siberianas"
Esta es la clave del día. 42% de los votantes de Melanchon votaron a Macron, frente al 17% que votaron a Le Pen.

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!
@AKirilenko_True What is going on in Mariupol is an unimaginable horror. My sincere condolences to you and your family. My she rest in peace.
