REEB, the German intelligence anti-Nazi plan read by Spanish security forces

30 Mar 2024  |  farodevigo.es
Germany's Ministry of the Interior and the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) have developed a strategy called REEB (Rechts Extremismus Entschlossen Bekämpfen) to combat the rise of right-wing extremism. The plan includes measures to expel enemies of the constitution from public service and to prevent the spread of right-wing extremism and anti-Semitic sentiment. The strategy has gained attention in Spain among security forces dealing with radicalism and supremacist fanaticism. Recent police operations in Spain have targeted Nazi networks and radical groups, resulting in arrests and confiscation of weapons. The German plan also addresses the infiltration of extreme right-wing elements in the police and military and proposes legal reforms to ensure public servants uphold democratic values. The article also mentions the creation of a federal office to monitor disinformation campaigns.

The reform aimed to extend protection to various groups, including Moroccan women working in Ceuta and Melilla, and younger workers without family responsibilities. Díaz plans to convene social agents to negotiate the measure, which was rejected in Congress, affecting the subsidy amount and other benefits such as lactation leave and the ability to combine the subsidy with employment.

The Government commits to Junts to agree on future decrees before taking them to the Council of Ministers

09 Jan 2024  |  elperiodicoextremadura.com
With the vote on the validation of the first decrees of the legislature approaching, the Spanish Government lacks the necessary support. Negotiations have accelerated, including talks with the PP, but Junts maintains its veto, and Podemos threatens to vote against. The government has agreed to Junts to try to agree on future decrees before taking them to the Council of Ministers. Criticisms from Junts and PNV focus on the government's use of omnibus decrees and the need for negotiation and simplification of procedures. The government is open to accepting conditions from PP and awaits Junts' proposals, with a red line on not altering core aspects of reforms committed to Brussels for Next Generation funds.

Macron appoints Gabriel Attal, 34, as Prime Minister to reinvigorate the Government

09 Jan 2024  |  eldia.es
French President Emmanuel Macron has appointed Gabriel Attal, the former Minister of Education, as the new Prime Minister, making him the youngest head of government in the history of the Fifth Republic. Attal replaces Élisabeth Borne, who resigned amid a challenging second term for Macron, marked by controversial reforms. Attal's political career has been meteoric, with a background in the Socialist Party and a shift towards the right. His appointment comes ahead of challenging European elections for Macronism, with the far-right expected to perform strongly. Political analyst Luc Rouban suggests that this cabinet reshuffle may not resolve the underlying issues of a divided country and a lack of a stable parliamentary majority.

PP Barons Support Feijóo's Refusal to 'Save for Free' Sánchez's Decrees

09 Jan 2024  |  eldia.es
The conservative Partido Popular (PP), led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo, maintains its opposition to three decrees proposed by the Spanish coalition government, which require validation in Congress. The PP is open to negotiating only the economic decree, which extends anti-crisis measures into 2024, under the condition that the government meets their demands, including tax reductions. The PP's regional leaders support this tough opposition stance, particularly after the government's agreements with nationalist and independentist parties. The PP's strategy is to leverage its parliamentary weight, especially on economic measures that affect the general population, and to avoid supporting the government without concessions. The government has reached out to the PP for support, indicating difficulty in securing decree validation, but the PP remains firm on its conditions.

New technologies intensify psychological violence among teenage couples

08 Jan 2024  |  laopiniondemurcia.es
A study published in the Spanish Journal of Public Health has shown that new technologies are being used as a means of control and dominance in teenage relationships, with a higher perception of violence reported by women. Initial research in Alicante and Terrasa found that 22% of surveyed girls experienced control through social networks. The study highlights the normalization of psychological violence, particularly among males, and the influence of romanticized control situations. Gender perspective is crucial in understanding these dynamics, with the romanticization of relationships contributing to the acceptance of inappropriate behaviors. The impact of relationship violence on mental health is significant, causing emotional distress and potentially leading to depression. The pervasive use of technology among youth increases susceptibility to interpersonal intrusion and harassment.

From January 9, a DANA (isolated high-level depression) will enter through the Cantabrian region, affecting the Peninsula and Balearics, with snowfall expected to continue until January 11.

Successful launch of the rocket with which the USA wants to return to the Moon

United Launch Alliance successfully launched the Vulcan Centaur rocket from Florida, carrying NASA's Peregrine module for lunar surface analysis. The launch marks the first commercial robotic mission to the Moon, with the Peregrine expected to land in the 'Sinus Viscositatis' region. The mission includes scientific instruments from seven countries, including an ambitious Mexican mission with tiny robots to study lunar mining.

Flexible, ecological, hi-tech... A walk through the offices of the future

13 Jul 2017  |  Hablemos de empresas
The traditional concept of office spaces is evolving, with companies like Apple, Beats, Salesforce, Uber, Google, Repsol, and BBVA leading the way in creating environments that reflect brand identity, foster collaboration, and enhance employee well-being. These changes are driven by a shift in work habits, with a focus on flexibility, technology integration, and sustainability. Architect Norman Foster's design of Apple's new headquarters exemplifies this trend, prioritizing aesthetics and functionality to adapt to future challenges. The transformation of office spaces is not only a reflection of corporate culture but also a strategic move to attract and retain talent.

The pulley system that moved a city and changed the world

29 May 2017  |  Ferrovial
The article discusses the historical significance of the pulley system in Amsterdam's transformation from a swampy village to Europe's most prosperous city. It highlights the role of pulleys in the construction of canal houses, which were used as warehouses by merchants to store and transport goods such as spices, textiles, and other valuable commodities. The city's growth into a major trade hub during the 17th century, known as the Dutch Golden Age, is attributed to the efficient use of pulleys, windmills, and cheap energy sources like peat. The influx of religious refugees and the decline of Spanish and Portuguese maritime power also contributed to Amsterdam's development into a cosmopolitan commercial center.

Fool's Gold is also Martian Gold

13 Apr 2017  |  Blog de Lenovo
The article discusses the historical confusion between gold and fool's gold (pyrite), including an anecdote about Christopher Newport during the colonization of America. It then transitions to the presence of pyrite on Mars and its role in the planet's red coloration. An international research team led by the CSIC, with contributions from the Universidad de Vigo and NASA, has proposed that the reaction of pyrite with hydrogen peroxide could explain the iron oxidation on Mars, despite the lack of oxygen in its atmosphere. The study, published in Scientific Reports, suggests that this process, known as the Fenton reaction, may have contributed to the oxidation of the Martian surface.
