Barcelona demands “accountability” from Territori for the Sants flare-up in the metro works

Alen Craig2 months ago2 months ago04 mins

Railway sinkholes in the districts of Sarrià-Sant Gervasi and Nou Barris, and a gas deflagration with more than 12 hours of flames in the main square of Sants-Montjuïc. In recent days, Barcelona has seen a series of disturbing incidents linked to public works that have generated a certain distrust among citizens. Technicians say there is nothing to fear, that it is just a coincidence and that one must have faith that things are done well. In the case of Sants square, the accessibility works for the metro station caused the perforation of a gas pipe this Wednesday, turning the street into an immense brazier two days before the anniversary of the inauguration of the 1992 Games at the Olympic Stadium, not far from here.

Europe is into internment camps

In the Roussillon plain, 50 kilometers north of the Franco-Spanish border, the Rivesaltes camp stands on dry and windy land. Converted into a Memorial in 2015 and recently renovated, the barracks of the former internment camp that operated here between 1941 and 1964 are still visible. Spanish refugees who fled Franco’s troops in 1939 were the first to be confined in Rivesaltes, a supposed “reception center” that was very similar to a concentration camp, surrounded by barbed wire and guarded by the French army. Conditions were precarious, but in the improvised camps on the beaches of Argelès, it was even worse. Although the policy of interning “undesirable foreigners” began in the 1930s, it was the authoritarian and pro-Nazi Vichy regime that truly boosted it from 1940 onwards.

Australia will force tech companies to compensate media outlets for using news

Alen Craig3 weeks ago3 weeks ago03 mins

The Australian parliament has just passed a law that will force four major tech companies – Meta, Google, Microsoft (LinkedIn), and TikTok – to compensate media outlets for the use they make of the information. The Australian Government’s approach, which has received opposition support, is that the existence of digital platforms has left news companies in an inferior position when negotiating possible compensation for the use of their information. The new legislation will become a corrective factor for the protection of journalism.
