FROM EUROPE TO BRAZIL (from Ljubljana, Berlin, Paris)
With a temperature of 40 degrees C, the buses without air conditioning, a cracking sun, the salvation are the Parisian museums such as the exhibition of Matisse and Caldear, among others, but so crowded with visitors that it is not known where it is warmer, inside or outside. But, unmissable. The World Cup with schedules for Europeans not to wake up early, excites, scares by the unexpected results, but definitely Brazil is only a star for the individual players who play or played here, and yield publicity. But the Canarian national team is not the great hope. Not even a canary is anymore.
Even with the summer burning, in addition to the white skins of bathers, the burning forests, European politics does not sleep. In France, the presidential elections next year determine the actions now. The G 7 meeting in Versailles was a Trump show about the "end of the war" with Iran. And nothing usable about the state of the world economy shaken by the conflict, which apparently calmed the oil markets, but left sequelae not yet measured, including for emerging countries. A conflict that only left losers, but deep down it seems that not even in 49 years of Shiite regime in Iran the Western world has managed to find a balance in its relations, nor will it find it in the next 50. Simply, it is not that the government of the Iranian clergy is strong by itself, in part yes, but mainly because in the geopolitical game it suits some countries, that it has been so and so be. And damn Israel, now enfant terrible, defending itself (can we understand it like that?), destroying Southern Lebanon. Gaza still in conflict, Ukraine with more war intensity, conflicts in Africa.
Oh, it's worth seeing the movie De GAULLE, about how the General fought to keep France, invaded by the Germans and divided, part of the government in Vichy, allied to the Nazis, with the country fighting for its freedom. It is a lesson in geopolitics, which applies well to how the powers act within, and only within their interests. Real politics, raw, naked and cruel.
While the film shows a United Kingdom under the leadership of Churchill, resistant and fighting against Hitler, this Empire, this week, changed its Prime Minister for the eighth time in ten years. The Prime Minister of Italy, who used to change heads of government as those who change shirts, in power since 2022, saw four British colleagues pass in front of her. And in this wave of political and economic instability, it has been ten years since the island left the European Union, reaching the conclusion that it was a strategic mistake, which only weakened the old world power.
And the victory of the right in Colombia and Peru, radical changes in the Cuban economy, only lead to a question here, and how is Brazil.
