The EU on alert over the “new reality” of drone incursions in the Baltic

Alen Craig05 mins

Last week’s alarms due to recent incursions into the airspace have further frightened the Baltic countries, on the front line against the Russian threat. The Kremlin is weakened on the Ukrainian battlefront, but the recent episodes in Latvia and Lithuania, which had to declare a country-wide alert following new drone appearances, have put the spotlight on these three small nations on the EU’s eastern flank, which are preparing for more buzzes of modern warfare in their airspace and are calling for Brussels’ involvement to put a stop to it. The message is that the Baltic border is also the EU’s border and, therefore, must be treated as a community matter.

The meeting between unions and Education begins with tensions over the nuance of the salary agreement

Union disunity worsens this Tuesday in Valencia with tensions over the salary agreement that the Ministry of Education, Culture and Universities reached yesterday with the CSIF and ANPE unions. STEPV, CCOO-PV, and UGT-PV, who did not sign the agreement yesterday, wanted to know if the review according to the CPI agreed for the last salary increase established in the agreement – 50 euros in 2028, after the 75 euros increase in July 2027 and the other 75 euros in January 2027 – and the regional Secretary of Education, Daniel McEvoy, clarified it right at the start of this afternoon’s new negotiating table meeting, making it clear that the 2028 CPI review will be made “on the total of the 200 euros and not on the last 50, thus attending to the request of the trade union organizations.” Now the non-signatories can choose between joining or denouncing the agreement.

The nebulous status of former presidents: no obligations or limits

The nebulous status of former presidents: no obligations or limits

Alen Craig05 mins

The indictment of former president José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero for alleged influence peddling in the Plus Ultra case brings to the table a debate that has not been resolved in Spain: what can former presidents do to make a living when they leave Moncloa? The reality today is that they can basically do the same as any other citizen, but with a much larger network of contacts and a greater capacity for influence. The statute of former presidents is regulated by a minimal royal decree, which does not impose any obligations, incompatibilities, or restrict their private activities, beyond the legal limits that apply to any citizen. And that nebulous area in which they remain is certainly an advantage, but also a risk.
