18 cittadini pakistani, uno del Bangladesh e uno indiano sono stati arrestati in Calabria nell'ambito di un'inchiesta sul caporalato nella piana di Sibari, collegata alla vicenda dei quattro braccianti bruciati a giugno in un minivan. Secondo l'accusa, i lavoratori erano costretti a vivere ammassati in alloggi fatiscenti e privi dei servizi essenziali e venivano trasportati ogni giorno in aziende agricole riconducibili alle cosche mafiose, subendo minacce e aggressioni se non accettavano le condizioni imposte. Avrebbero inoltre lavorato 10 ore al giorno per 40 euro in nero, con i caporali che trattenevano parte del denaro per il trasporto e l'affitto #Caporalato #DirittiUmani #Immigrazione

Bij provincies door het hele land liggen 217 verzoeken om vergunningen van boeren in te trekken. Dat antwoordde minister Jaimi van Essen (Landbouw en Natuur, D66) dinsdag op Kamervragen van de BBB. Uit het Brabantse protest bleek al hoe explosief zulke intrekkingsverzoeken kunnen worden https://t.co/lzUVvo6R8g #Landbouw #Boeren #Vergunningen

Mark Carney s'apprête à imposer aux familles déjà en difficulté une hausse de 10 cents le litre de la taxe libérale sur l'essence. Les prix de l'essence ont grimpé en flèche de 25% au cours de la dernière année. Les Canadiens n'ont plus les moyens de payer ni l'essence ni l'épicerie et ils ne peuvent certainement pas se permettre une nouvelle augmentation de taxe. Signez pour éliminer toutes les taxes sur l'essence et permettre aux familles d'économiser jusqu'à 1000$ par an : https://t.co/B8bgES7Ce8 #Essence #Taxes #Canada

🚨 « NOS JOUEURS AFRICAINS MÉRITENT LE RESPECT » 😤 L’agent d’Ismaila Sarr 🇸🇳, Diomansky Kamara, prend la paroles sur les non-transferts de son joueur (Liverpool) et de Lamine Camara (Chelsea) 🇸🇳 👇 : « Nous devons sortir de cette logique où le joueur africain peut parfois donner le sentiment de n'être qu'une simple marchandise: on l'achète, on fixe son prix, on négocie son avenir et, trop souvent, SA VOLONTÉ SEMBLE PASSER AU SECOND PLAN. Nos joueurs africains méritent le respect. Le respect de leur travail. Le respect de leur carrière. Le respect de leurs ambitions. Le respect de leur voix. Un transfert ne devrait pas être uniquement une affaire entre deux clubs et des chiffres. Derrière chaque contrat, IL Y A UN HOMME, UNE CARRIÈRE, DES RÊVES ET DES CHOIX DE VIE. Que les clubs puissent parfois avoir le dernier mot est une réalité du football professionnel. Mais une question demeure : QU’EN EST-IL DE LA CARRIÈRE ET DE LA VOLONTÉ DU JOUEUR ? Le joueur doit pouvoir être entendu et respecté dans les décisions qui déterminent son avenir. N'oublions jamais l'essentiel : derrière chaque réussite, ce sont d'abord les joueurs qui écrivent l'histoire. » 📲 Instagram #Football #Respect #Transferts

📢 PLAN D’ACTION 2 — OPÉRATION POIDS VÉRITÉ Au-delà de l’augmentation des prix, certaines entreprises conservent le même prix tout en réduisant la quantité du produit. À titre d’exemple : 2 grammes retirés sur 100 000 sachets représentent 200 kg de produit en moins. La valeur économisée dépend ensuite du prix du produit au kilo. Réduire une quantité n’est pas forcément illégal si le nouveau poids est clairement annoncé. En revanche, le poids réel doit correspondre au poids indiqué et le consommateur ne doit pas être trompé. L’article 8 de la loi sénégalaise n°2021-25 du 12 avril 2021 impose au professionnel de communiquer de manière claire et compréhensible les caractéristiques essentielles du produit, notamment sa quantité. ⚖️ Notre action citoyenne : 1. Choisissez un produit préemballé. 2. Filmez l’emballage fermé et le poids net annoncé. 3. Ouvrez-le devant la caméra. 4. Pesez uniquement son contenu avec une balance fiable. 5. Montrez le résultat, la marque, le numéro de lot et la date d’achat. 6. Si possible, vérifiez plusieurs unités du même lot avant de conclure. 7. Publiez ou transmettez la vidéo avec le hashtag. Nous collecterons et documenterons les écarts constatés avant de saisir les services compétents. Pesez. Vérifiez. Documentez. Est-ce que nous recevons réellement la quantité pour laquelle nous payons ? #30JoursPourLeJustePrix #PoidsVérité #ConsommationResponsable #TransparenceDesPrix

“Socialism Was Good in Theory” That sentence assumes the theory was never seriously challenged. It was. Long before the Soviet Union existed, before Lenin seized power, and before socialism had been tested on a national scale, major thinkers were already attacking its foundations—from very different directions. Five of them stand out. Tocqueville: Equality Can Become Servitude In 1848, Alexis de Tocqueville drew a sharp distinction between democracy and socialism. Both spoke about equality. But Tocqueville believed they pursued it in fundamentally different ways. Democracy, in his view, sought equality while preserving individual freedom. Socialism risked achieving equality by expanding the power of the state over the individual. His warning was essentially this: equality is not automatically liberty. A society can pursue equality so aggressively that it begins sacrificing the independence that makes political freedom meaningful. Bastiat: Follow Where Redistribution Leads Two years later, Frédéric Bastiat attacked socialism from a different direction. His question was deceptively simple: What happens when the state acquires the authority to take from some people and give to others in the name of justice? Bastiat called this “legal plunder.” His concern was not merely that redistribution might be expensive. It was that once government becomes the instrument through which competing groups obtain benefits from one another, politics can turn into a permanent struggle over who controls the machinery of redistribution. The problem, therefore, wasn’t simply how much the state redistributed. It was the principle that made redistribution legitimate in the first place. (bastiat.org⁠) Nietzsche: Equality Can Become Resentment Nietzsche approached socialism neither as an economist nor as a constitutional theorist. He attacked its psychology. He saw modern egalitarian movements as part of a much older moral impulse: resentment toward exceptional individuals and suspicion of strength, ambition and hierarchy. For Nietzsche, the danger was not simply that everyone might become economically equal. It was that a culture could begin treating excellence itself as something morally suspect. The goal would cease to be lifting people upward. It would become bringing the exceptional downward. Böhm-Bawerk: Challenge the Economics Then came Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk. In 1896, he turned his attention specifically toward Marx’s economic system. His criticism was not primarily moral or political. It was technical. Böhm-Bawerk argued that Marx’s theory of value did not adequately explain how the labor values developed in Capital could be reconciled with the actual prices Marx subsequently needed to explain. In other words, he attacked socialism where it claimed to possess a scientific economic foundation. The argument became one of the central criticisms of Marxian economics and helped launch a debate that would continue for generations. Mises: The Calculation Problem Then, in 1920, Ludwig von Mises attacked an even more fundamental question: Even if socialism is morally desirable, how would a socialist economy actually know what to produce? A functioning economy has millions of competing uses for scarce resources. Build a bridge or a hospital? Use steel here or there? Produce more machinery or more consumer goods? Under private ownership and markets, prices for capital goods provide information about relative scarcity and opportunity costs. Mises argued that abolishing private ownership of the means of production also removes the genuine market prices necessary for rational economic calculation. The problem wasn’t simply that socialist planners might make bad decisions. It was that the system deprived them of the very economic signals required to systematically compare those decisions. (Mises Institute⁠) And that was the sequence. Tocqueville challenged the political premise. Bastiat challenged the moral and legal mechanism of redistribution. Nietzsche challenged the psychology behind egalitarianism. Böhm-Bawerk challenged Marx’s economic theory. Mises challenged the possibility of rational central economic calculation. Five different thinkers. Five different objections. And all of them came before the Soviet Union had demonstrated what large-scale socialist government would actually look like. So “socialism was good in theory, but bad in practice” is not an argument. It is a historical claim that requires you to explain why these theoretical objections were wrong. The interesting question isn’t whether socialism had critics. It did. The interesting question is whether socialism ever adequately answered them” - ChatGPT

The article by Luís Miguel Ribeiro proposes three structural reforms - the reform of the State and public administration, the reform of the economy, and the territorial reform - as essential to ensure robust and sustainable economic growth in Portugal, leveraging the potential of the country's businesses, talent, and knowledge.
