Desqualificacions. El sudari de Laertes de les polítiques d’habitatge | Lleiengel.cat
El Pla Territorial Sectorial d’Habitatge de Catalunya (PTSHC) no reverteix la insuficiència i els errors d'anteriors polítiques d'habitatge
lleiengel.cat
I res, que he fet aquests càlculs i els he dibuixat al mapa perquè tinguem temps d'anar corregint el tret. Potser un semblarà una cosa per a nerds de l'habitatge, però jo diria -ja em perdonareu la immodèstia- que és important...

Here’s a good example of that discourse.
Here’s a good example of that discourse.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said today that the fight against climate change was not against the fuels that cause it — only the pollution they emit.
Von der Leyen says EU is not fighting fossil fuels, only emissions
The comment could undermine European countries’ push at COP30 to move away from coal, oil and gas.
