JAYRO SÁNCHEZ Sevim Dagdelen, the daughter of Kurdish immigrants in Germany, is the spokesperson for International Relations for the Die Linke parliamentary group, the main left-wing political force currently in the country. Videos of her interventions in the Bundestag on the war in Ukraine have gone viral on the internet. We interviewed her exclusively to talk about the German participation in the conflict and the attack on the Nord Stream gas pipelines, vital for the supply of Russian energy to the main European power. Dagdelen considers that the leaks after the meeting between Scholz and Biden, about the alleged authorship of a pro-Ukrainian group, contradict all previous reports provided to Parliament by the German government, according to which only state agents can be the perpetrators of an operation of this magnitude. .
PASCUAL SERRANO “Are you taking any measure against global warming? Have you bought ecological bags to reduce the use of plastic ones? Do you always carry a canteen to avoid buying drinks in PET containers? Have you changed your old car for a hybrid one? I will tell you clearly: only with that kind of well-intentioned measures you will not get anywhere; what's more, they could even be counterproductive”. With these provocative words begins the book by the Japanese Kohei Saito "Capital in the era of the Anthropocene" (Editions B, 2022), an era in which the footprint of human activity completely covers the face of the Earth.
XULIO RÍOS Next March 9 will mark the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Spain and China. From that distant 1973 to today, a very important evolution of exchanges is verifiable, favored, among other things, by the mutual perception of being protagonists of parallel transitions that began almost simultaneously in both countries: in the second half of the XNUMXs, After the death of Franco, Spain began its "transition", and the same thing happened in China after the death of Mao, beginning the deployment of denguismo. In both cases it was something similar: a change of regime without a change of system. In addition, this common contemporary trajectory reached the common imagination of tragic episodes such as the respective civil wars, with unequal outcomes.
