Defense Minister Boris Pistorius is trying to calm the debate about the withdrawal of US soldiers: the troops in Germany are important for both countries. But there is another development that could have greater consequences.

Changing the boot children of wrathby the poet Dámaso Alonso, Madrid is a city of thousands of tons of granite. There are, of course, no latest statistics. Daily contemplation is enough. Squares, sidewalks, walls, buildings, roundabouts, benches, curbs. Almost all the elements that build the “lego” of a city.

After the talk, Moreno wanted to claim the importance of entrepreneurs because “they are also workers” and contribute to creating employment in a community that, although it has reduced the gap with the national average, continues to be the one with the highest unemployment rate, 14.66%, and has committed to moving towards convergence with Spain and equipping it in terms of employment.Continue reading
