Reconocer el daño causado.
Un gesto que rompe años de cautela ante la herencia colonial y apuesta por una relación madura: la historia compartida entre España y México debe celebrarse, sí, pero también mirarse en sus claroscuros. Solo así caben el orgullo y la responsabilidad de un pasado común.

Franco promovió mezquitas en Ceuta (1940), Melilla (1947), Córdoba y El Pardo y e incluso estudió la posibilidad de “sacar” el implante de catedral renacentista de la Mezquita de Córdoba. La extrema derecha falsea hasta la historia que defiende y hoy ya no se puede realizar el Salat en la mezquita.

Supporting Palestine and opposing genocide is not antisemitism. Criticizing the policies of the Israeli government is not attacking Judaism or Jewish people. In fact, the Israeli state has long distanced itself from the fundamental values and ethical principles central to Jewish religious tradition.

Beating impostor syndrome: just say “I don’t know.” Supposedly a strength. For lawyers it’s career suicide — we bill by the answer, not the question. But maybe the real fraud is certainty itself. Socrates built a whole philosophy on that. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

The welfare state dream is over. We pay high taxes but save little. £5 coffees, £20 pub mains, £100 family meals at fast-food venues — once small joys, now guilty luxuries. Inflation + tax hikes = bill shock. Is there a way out? @gabyhinsliff.bsky.social

Reform? Few things could be less English than tearing up the rights of people who came here legally. Farage’s proposal to abolish Indefinite Leave to Remain offends the very principles of English law and equity. This is not reform. It is a direct attack on the rule of law.

The UK is seeing a resurgence of extreme-right activism. Today’s ‘Unite the Kingdom’ march is not just populist noise — it shows deep fears about immigration, identity, diversity and free speech. The challenge: defend liberty without letting it shield hate. Can we rebuild trust in time?

El resultado:

Concerning that Sally Rooney could be arrested under the UK Terrorism Act for supporting Palestine Action. Unlike UN, EU, and US law, which define terrorism as violence against persons, the UK treats property damage the same way. Palestine Action’s protests do not meet that standard.
