Remarkable: Spain's post-2008 GDP has now grown more in % terms than Germany's, mainly thanks to the last three years (h/t @danielkral.bsky.social).

The world has probably passed “peak air pollution”
The image shows a series of six line graphs depicting the trends in global emissions of different pollutants from 1750 to 2022. The title reads "The world has passed 'peak pollution'," indicating that emissions of several pollutants have declined since their peak levels, except for ammonia. The pollutants shown are: - Sulphur dioxide (SO₂) – peaked in the mid-20th century and has since declined. - Nitrogen oxide (NOx) – followed a similar pattern, peaking around the late 20th century and then dropping. - Carbon monoxide (CO) – peaked mid-20th century and declined. - Black carbon (BC) – shows a rise until recently, followed by a drop. - Organic carbon (OC) – has risen steadily with a recent plateau. - Ammonia (NH₃) – continues to rise without a recent decline.

En el marco de la elaboración de la nueva estrategia de acción exterior, me he reunido con portavoces de las comisiones de Asuntos Exteriores del Congreso y Senado para escuchar sus aportaciones.

La política exterior es una política de Estado.

Great to be in Vilnius for the Transatlantic Policy Planners' Conference and #SnowMeeting2025. Policy planning coordination is more relevant than ever, and it's great to see strong collaboration between our NATO allies and partners. Thanks to the NATO policy planning team & @lithuaniamfa.bsky.social

Spain's economic performance has got a lot of attention lately, and for good reason. Almost half of the eurozone's growth this year has been driven by Spain, a country that represents 10% of the euro area economy.

Sigo con preocupación la situación en Rumanía, país amigo esencial en la familia europea. Solo los rumanos pueden decidir su futuro. Nuestras democracias deben estar libres de injerencias externas y desinformación.

Hay pocos Estados miembros con más eurodiputados en contra que a favor de la nueva Comisión.

Pero solo en España -y Hungría- el ratio es de apenas un tercio favorable (los 21 votos de PSOE y PNV) y dos tercios contrarios (los 39 de PP, Vox, SALF, ERC, BNG, Comuns, Compromís, Podemos, Bildu y Sumar)
