Mundos maiores, mais estáveis, com mares e milhares de ilhas. “Numa perspetiva universal, porque haveria a Terra de ser a referência?”. A Terra pode não ser o planeta mais favorável à vida no Universo. Muitos cientistas acreditam que existem mundos onde os seres vivos podem prosperar durante muito mais tempo e desenvolver uma diversidade ainda maior do que a que conhecemos. São os chamados planetas superhabitáveis — e alguns poderão estar relativamente perto de nós. Estes mundos seriam ligeiramente maiores do que a Terra, teriam uma atmosfera mais espessa, temperaturas estáveis e vastas extensões de mares pouco profundos. E em
L’Italia ha introdotto la valutazione di impatto generazionale delle leggi. Perché non resti un adempimento formale, deve rendere visibili costi, benefici e rischi che le politiche trasferiscono avanti nel tempo. Cosa insegna l’esperienza internazionale.
El domingo 27 de septiembre, cuando las primeras tiendas de campaña de la madrileña Puerta del Sol no llevaban ni 24 horas levantadas, Aitana Sánchez-Gijón visitó la acampada naciente. Repartió kilos de plátanos y empanadas a los jóvenes que no pensaban moverse de ahí en los próximos días. Saludó a su hijo mayor, el cantante Teo Lucadamo, quien había pernoctado con ellos. Grabó un vídeo para sus redes sociales: “Si estáis por Madrid, en vuestras ciudades, organizaos, acampad y haceos oír. Todas y todos juntos creo que podemos conseguir grandes cosas”, pidió a sus seguidores. Y se fue a trabajar, a Alcalá de Henares, donde esos días representaba la obra Malquerida, actualmente de gira. Mientras actuaba, el vídeo se viralizó y su visita se convirtió en uno de los momentos más comentados de aquel primer día de acampada. Lo que estaba sucediendo en Sol, esa rabia acumulada, no era solo cosa de jóvenes.
Maricarmen Abascal faced four eviction attempts, and the last one succeeded. It happened two weeks ago. The 87-year-old woman left her Retiro home in a wheelchair; she had lived there for almost her entire life. Once outside, she was helped onto a stretcher and taken to Gregorio Marañón Hospital. She died there on Wednesday.
It’s Friday night in Madrid. Walking down Preciados street towards Sol square, the tents and the huge banners announcing the protest encampment can already be seen some distance away. Suddenly, a voice cries out amid the crowds from an indeterminate spot on the street. It belongs to an old man with white hair, his nose and chin almost touching. His name is Héctor, he is Ecuadorian, he is going hoarse, and he deserves some credit for what he is attempting to do: standing next to the epicenter of Spain’s mass protests for decent housing, with a country convulsed and fed up with prohibitive prices and home evictions, Héctor is preaching the end of the world and urging people to return to God. “What do you think of what’s happening over there, in Sol?” the reporter asks, pointing to the packed square. Héctor, escorted by a woman named Noemí, approaches and whispers mysteriously: “The final times are always dangerous times. Uncivilized times.” He then asks Noemí to show the reporter some texts from Timothy. “The first thing people must do is repent and return to God,” he concludes. He says goodbye with a smile and goes back to his shouting.
They came to Madrid to counterprogram one of Europe’s largest real estate fairs, The District. What they found was an 87-year-old woman who was about to be evicted from their home — and was, before their eyes. Around 200 housing activists from more than 20 countries across Europe decided to join the demonstrations against the eviction, and later joined a spontaneous encampment in front of the Madrid regional government headquarters at the historic Puerta del Sol plaza.
Si una noche sin luna, lejos de cualquier ciudad, alguien mirase exactamente al punto del cielo opuesto al Sol —el llamado punto antisolar, ese lugar donde estaría el Sol si pudiera verse a través de la Tierra— podría distinguir una mancha ovalada, tenue, de entre 8 y 10 grados de diámetro. Para hacerse una idea […]
