Ukraine, the armed wing of the EU?
Ukraine needs Europe to continue resisting Russian aggression. It is an obvious and recognized fact. But what if it were also the other way around? If Kyiv has been able for more than four years to stand up to the Russian invasion, ordered by Russian President Vladimir Putin in February 2022 to try to abort its approach to the EU and NATO, it has been thanks to Western economic and military aid.

Timothy Garton Ash, chronicler of Europe after the wall, wins the Princess of Asturias Award for Social Sciences
Timothy Garton Ash (London, 1955) has documented live the European history of the last four decades from his dual role as historian and journalist. Professor of European Studies at the University of Oxford, he has outlined in his books a history of the European present that he has compiled in books such as Freedom of Speech, Facts Are Subversive, or his own History of the Present, all published by Tusquets. A representative of the old enlightened liberalism, he studied Modern History at Oxford, where he became interested in the German resistance to Hitler, which led him to live in Berlin and to gain an in-depth knowledge of the countries of the former Eastern Europe. Precisely in his book The Magic Lantern (Taurus) he narrates the moment when Eastern Europe on the other side of the Berlin Wall begins to falter, a moment he experiences firsthand, including the first free elections in Poland.

Atlético loses its charm (and memory)
There is not a single club that is here to give lessons to another. The most ruthless capitalism has been guiding elite football for too long, and opacity is taken for granted as if it were part of the rules of the game. All clubs fit into that bag, ours and those of…
