An agreement has been reached that marks the beginning of a process between the European Union and China to better protect the European market from unfair competition, particularly in the field of hybrid cars. As you know, this is the result of several years of work. Our goal was to restore fair and equal competition between European manufacturers and foreign manufacturers in cases where competition is distorted by excessive subsidies or other elements of unfair competition. French President Emmanuel Macron stated on Monday that this will allow for the protection of European car manufacturers against unfair competition. #hibrīdauto #EiropasSavienība #tirdzniecība (translated)

Lupe Sánchez stated that the Government planned to appeal to the Constitutional Court the decision of the Supreme Court to maintain the precautionary measures on the application of the instruction of Sofía Puente, known as the grandchildren's law. He argued that, as a general rule, neither the central Government nor the regional governments were legitimized to file a petition for amparo, according to articles 53 and 162 of the Constitution and articles 41 and 46 of the Organic Law of the Constitutional Court. He added that the exception related to the right to effective judicial protection in article 24 would not apply in this case. Sánchez also pointed out that the Supreme Court had summoned hundreds of thousands of descendants of exiles who could be affected by the resolution, and said that would make it difficult for the Socialist Executive to resort to that avenue. He added that the Prosecutor's Office could indeed file a petition for amparo, although he described it as unusual, but stated that in this case it had not appealed the precautionary measures in reinstatement, so he considered that route closed. #Gobierno #TribunalConstitucional #DerechosHumanos (translated)

Lupe Sánchez stated that the Government of Spain and the regional governments, in general, lacked legitimacy to file a protection appeal, according to Articles 53 and 162 of the Constitution and Articles 41 and 46 of the LOTC. He added that the exception related to the violation of due process guarantees in Article 24 of the Constitution would not be applicable in the case of the Grandchildren's Law. He also pointed out that the Supreme Court had agreed to summon the alleged hundreds of thousands of descendants of exiles who might be affected by the decision. In his opinion, this further reduced the possibilities of manipulating the law for Pedro's benefit. #LeyDeNietos #DerechosHumanos #España (translated)

DWUKADENCYJNOŚĆ WŁODARZY - TAK, PARLAMENTARZYSTÓW - NIE Ograniczenie liczby kadencji to legislacyjna ingerencja w demokrację. Sens wprowadzenia tych ograniczeń wynika z przekonania, że zwykłe mechanizmy wyborcze nie działają dostateczne skutecznie. W odniesieniu do funkcji wójtów, burmistrzów i prezydentów miast mamy do czynienia z bezprecedensową kumulacją władzy. Każdy kto zdążył się zorientować jak działają polskie gminy i miasta, bez trudu zauważył, że społeczna kontrola nad działaniami lokalnego organu wykonawczego jest iluzoryczna. Że rady, które teoretycznie miały być nadrzędnym organem, w praktyce są reaktywne i bardzo często ubezwłasnowolnione. Taka nierównowaga władzy powoduje, że wójt, burmistrz, czy prezydent ma wszelkie możliwości manipulowania opinią publiczną. Ma uprzywilejowaną pozycję w przekazywaniu informacji. Może uzależniać od siebie znaczące grupy wyborców. Krótko mówiąc, proces wyborczy nie jest w pełni demokratyczny. Wymaga to więc legislacyjnej ingerencji, by zwiększyć szanse wpływu wyborców na zarządzanie wspólnymi sprawami. Takiego zakresu kumulacji władzy nie obserwujemy w żadnej ze struktur polskiego państwa. Mamy oczywiście do czynienia z wieloletnim okupowaniem tych samych pozycji przez różne osoby, co budzi irytację wielu obywateli. Nie ma jednak przesłanek do twierdzenia, że przepisy i procedury zaburzają tu wolność procesu wyborczego. Możliwości radnych, czy parlamentarzystów do manipulowania opinią publiczną są bardzo ograniczone, a w żaden sposób nie porównywalne do uprawnień „włodarzy” polskich miast i gmin. Wyborcy nie mogą się skarżyć, że winę, za nieakceptowany przez nich stan rzeczy ponosi ktoś inny, niż oni sami. Legislatorzy powinni zaś skupić się nad większą demokratyzacją procesu wyborczego, nad rzetelnością informacji, nad większą reprezentatywnością ordynacji wyborczej itp.

Attention, fans of Vasco! It was reported that Vasco da Gama presented a 32-page manifestation to the Court of Justice of Rio de Janeiro and asked the judge Joaquim Domingos de Almeida Neto to reconsider the ruling that suspended the authorization to use Maracanã for the semifinal of the Copa Sul-Americana against Boca Juniors, scheduled for October 20. According to the publication, the club pointed out the extension, by CONMEBOL, until October 13, at noon, of the deadline to confirm the stadium. It also questioned the writ of security from the conceding company Fla-Flu, invoked the priority of official football games provided for in the concession agreement, and cited assessments from the Military Police and statements from the Public Ministry regarding security and logistics. Vasco acknowledged that Estádio Nilton Santos could host the match but argued that this did not justify preventing the use of Maracanã. The publication added that the club requested the restoration of the decision by judge Marco Antônio Ibrahim, from October 9, which had authorized the game in Maracanã, and contested the adequacy of the writ of security from the conceding company. The request still depended on a new court decision, the profile reported. #Vasco #CopaSulAmericana #Maracanã (translated)
