Reflectii

The euro plummeted to a five-year low against the US dollar during Wednesday’s trading, amid heightened fears of a possible energy crisis and an economic slowdown in Europe.

Media reports from Europe said:

As of 11:01am GMT, the euro/dollar exchange rate was down to $1.061 from the previous closing level of $1.0636. Earlier in the day’s trading, the index fell to $1.0586, dropping below $1.06 for the first time since April 2017.

A temporary solution to organize Germany into four occupation zones led to a divided nation under the Cold War.

When the Allies celebrated Victory in Europe (VE) Day on May 8, 1945, the British military commander Bernard Law Montgomery cautioned his troops, “We have won the German war. Let us now win the peace.”

Μεγάλη Εβδομάδα και ο πόλεμος συνεχίζεται. Ανάμεσα σε δύο κράτη «χριστιανικά» και «ορθόδοξα». Μεγάλη Εβδομάδα των παθών λοιπόν, αλλά η Ανάσταση αργεί πολύ. Ο πόλεμος συνεχίζεται, ο πόλεμος αλέθει στις μυλόπετρές του ανθρώπους και σκορπίζει δυστυχία παντού. Και απειλεί την ίδια τη ζωή του πλανήτη. «Καινούργιες τρέλες των ανθρώπων ή των θεών» που θα έλεγε ο ποιητής. Μέρες με το φως να λιγοστεύει, το σκοτάδι να απλώνεται βαθύ, τις καρδιές να στεγνώνουν, την ελπίδα να τρεμοσβήνει. Κι ύστερα να σκέφτεσαι τη ρήση του Ηράκλειτου, «πόλεμος πάντων μεν πατήρ έστι, πάντων δε βασιλεύς, και τους μεν θεούς έδειξε τους δε ανθρώπους, τους μεν δούλους εποίησε τους δε ελευθέρους». Και τις πολλαπλές, εν πολλοίς αντιθετικές ερμηνείες της ηρακλείτειας ρήσης. Αλλά και τη διαλεκτική της σημασία.

Pax americana după pax americana?

Pe data de 24 martie 2022, la Bruxelles, Președintele SUA, Joe Biden, a descins, în calitate de lider global autoproclamat, pentru a avea întâlniri la nivel înalt cu reprezentanții statelor NATO, UE și G7, după ce cu o zi înainte anunțase nașterea unei noi ordini mondiale americane din cenușa vechii ordini… tot americană.

Germanii de la thelocal.de au publicat un material extrem de interesant, din care noi aflăm următorul lucru: Creștinii din Germania vor deveni o minoritate în următorii 20 de ani!

Efter påskhelgens kravaller i Sverige höjs röster för att förbjuda koranbränning.

Måtte svenska politiker hålla emot.

Under påskhelgen 2019 satte tre polska aktivister i staden Płock upp bilder av Jungfru Maria försedd med en regnbågs-gloria. Syftet var att protestera mot den katolska kyrkans behandling av HBTQ-personer.

Levottomuuksien käynnistäjä oli tanskalainen oikeistopoliitikko, mutta poliisin mielestä mellakoinnin päätarkoitus oli aiheuttaa levottomuutta yhteiskuntaan ja hyökätä poliisia vastaan. Levottomuuksien taustalla näkyvät myös Ruotsin virheet maahanmuuttajien sopeuttamisessa.

Pääsiäisenpyhät sujuivat Ruotsissa levottomasti. Maassa puhkesi useita väkivaltaisia mellakoita, joita poliisi parhaansa mukaan yritti pitää aisoissa – huonolla menestyksellä.

Jeśli Emmanuel Macron wyjdzie obronną ręką ze środowej debaty telewizyjnej, chyba może być spokojny o drugą kadencję.

Trudno pogodzić się z myślą, że Mateusz Morawiecki czytał program Marine Le Pen, zanim przyjął ją w grudniu w Warszawie z honorami głowy państwa i zanim tuż przed pierwszą turą wyborów prezydenckich zaatakował jej oponenta, Emmanuela Macrona. To prowadziłoby do wniosku, że na czele rządu stoi polityk, który nie w pełni rozumie, gdzie leżą fundamentalne interesy naszego kraju.

Violent riots erupted in the central Swedish city of Orebro on Friday as counter-protesters attacked police ahead of a planned right-wing extremist demonstration.

Police said on its website that four police cars had been set on fire and at least four police officers and one private individual had been injured as protesters threw stones and large groups attacked police cordons and tore down riot fences.

How Macron Lost the Left

Not so long ago, the war in Ukraine appeared to have made French President Emmanuel Macron a shoo-in for a second term. Polls showed that a majority of French voters trusted him to handle the crisis, and two weeks after Russian President Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine, Macron garnered support from 31 percent of voters surveyed compared with just 18 percent for Marine Le Pen, the far-right candidate who was in second place. The last time a French candidate enjoyed such a big lead in the run-up to a presidential election was more than three decades ago.
