David Alandete wrote that he asked Donald Trump if he supported the return of María Corina Machado to Venezuela, which she had defended in an article. He reported that Trump nodded, praised her, and said that Machado had given him the Nobel Prize because she knew he had earned it; he also stated that everything would be fine. Alandete clarified that he did not present the response as an explicit endorsement or rejection. He noted that Trump did not commit to supporting the return nor explained what the United States would do to facilitate it, but neither did he oppose it. He added that other media had described the response similarly. Alandete said that the political interpretations of Trump's silences and the desire for him to have answered differently belonged to the realm of aspirations and propaganda in Caracas. #Trump #Venezuela #Periodismo (translated)

"The Portuguese contribution to the Union budget is higher than that of all the frugal countries (except Austria), if we analyze it (as it should be, especially in a single market) in proportion to each one's GDP. I say one simple thing to all: giving 10 out of 100 is much more than giving 50 out of 1000. If we are not able to solve the concrete problems of people, we open space for the growth of demagoguery, populism, and extremism. That is why our response cannot be merely technocratic and rhetorical. It has to be political." In this context, Luís Montenegro did not fail to respond directly to the frugal countries: "The Portuguese contribution to the Union budget is higher than that of all the frugal countries (except Austria), if we analyze it (as it should be, especially in a single market) in proportion to each one's GDP. I say one simple thing to all: giving 10 out of 100 is much more than giving 50 out of 1000.
