🇷🇺 Kremlin-owned energy kingpin Gazprom, once 's most profitable company, could face a long period of poor performance as it struggles to fill the gap of lost European gas sales with its domestic market and Chinese exports.

I didn't know how bad it really is: We are drowning in an oversupply of Chinese BEVs. We should not trust the numbers coming from BEV boosters. We are headed towards major factory shutdowns and cutbacks.

Russia does not seek cooperation with Europe, and if European countries want to ensure peace and prosperity, they must set "clear boundaries" for Moscow, Czech President Petr Pavel said in an interview with the Austrian newspaper Die Presse published on May 11.

Too much criticism of 's ignoring basic facts about &

A reminder about why vehicles are so cheap - more than mere "innovation"

  • non-existent labor protections, & no real labor unions in Chinese factories = cheap workforce (unlike unionized Detroit)

  • minimal lacking sourcing standards for raw materials = widespread supply chain & abuses

  • massive subsidies & domestic market protectionism

@Alon @adnan Definitely, remember the tariffs against Japanese automakers in the 1980s?

But for all the issues US, #Japan, #Europe, etc, face w/ trade b/t each other, #China is completely different. At the very least, I'd appreciate if those criticizing #Biden's tariff would at least recognize that.

Also lessons have been learned - American solar is growing. Europe, which failed to protect against cheap Chinese #solar imports/dumping (or #forcedlabor) saw its solar industry decimated.

Casa Memoria Felicia e Peppino Impastato

Casa Memoria Felicia e Peppino Impastato a Cinisi è la Casa-Museo dedicata alla memoria di Peppino Impastato e di sua madre Felicia.

Peppino, attivista che ha lottato contro mafia, corruzione e oppressione, per la giustizia sociale, e il 9 maggio del 1978 fu ucciso per volontà del boss Gaetano Badalamenti.

Mamma Felicia ha rotto il muro del silenzio per raccontare la storia di Peppino e per denunciare gli assassini mafiosi del figlio, è stata la prima donna che si è ribellata alla cultura dell’omertà.

Ha aperto le porte della sua casa per raccontare la storia di Peppino e per far conoscere gli aspetti più corrotti della nostra società e dell’apparato istituzionale.

Felicia, definita “partigiana dell’antimafia” e “donna di democrazia” è scomparsa il 7 dicembre del 2004 dopo un lungo percorso per ottenere giustizia per Peppino.

La condanna di Gaetano Badalamenti, boss di Cinisi e bersaglio delle continue denunce e dell’impegno politico di Peppino, è arrivata solo nel 2002, 24 anni dopo l’assassinio.

Nel 2012 Casa Memoria Impastato viene riconosciuta come bene culturale, sono migliaia le persone che hanno varcato e continuano a varcare la soglia di questa porta ormai simbolica alla ricerca di nuove conoscenze, di informazioni non distorte e di un momento di riflessione e tutte si sono riappropriate di un piccolo pezzo di libertà.

Le franquisme disséqué

À bientôt cinquante ans de la mort de #Franco, une exposition à #Toulouse propose une «anatomie» de la dictature espagnole, l’une des plus longues d’#Europe. Et plusieurs #livres d’historiens plaident pour en écrire une #histoire «transnationale», et la replacer dans un cadre plus vaste.
