Felipe Núñez stated that YPF had reached a record total production and that it had never extracted so much oil, even without counting Vaca Muerta. He claimed that the conventional wells had been sold and were being operated by small and medium-sized companies, including Pérez Companc, because, he said, they were more cost-efficient. Núñez pointed out that the governors of Chubut and Santa Cruz had been working on the issue and that production had stopped declining. He also defended that a large company like YPF should concentrate its operations in the most productive areas, in this case, Vaca Muerta. In response to Dino, he stated that price control could reduce production and cause shortages, and he mentioned as examples the lack of wheat that, as he wrote, Dino had suffered and the gasoline shortage during Massa's management. #YPF #Petróleo #VacaMuerta (translated)

Nina Varsavsky criticized what she described as hypocrisy from the left and cited several examples. She stated that José Luis Ábalos presented himself as a feminist while partying with prostitutes, and that José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero defended that being a socialist meant giving a lot and having little, despite having, according to her, a safe full of jewelry. She also questioned how Montse Mínguez talked about "vulture" SMEs while, according to Varsavsky, her partner fit that criticism and was not exactly small. She added that Pablo Iglesias had criticized politicians who lived in chalets before buying one in Galapagar, and that Pedro Sánchez had said that amnesty was unconstitutional only to accept it when he needed the votes. Varsavsky concluded that these figures gave moral lessons daily. #Hipocresía #Política #Izquierda (translated)

I want to confirm the creation of the first tourism academy of the European Union. This will also benefit SMEs and the tourism ecosystem of the countries in the bloc. This was confirmed on Friday by the European Commissioner for Tourism, Apostolos Tzitzikostas, during the global summit of the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) being held in Valletta (Malta), in a context marked by the need to strengthen European tourism competitiveness. Vacant positions and the lack of skills are one of the biggest challenges facing the sector today. We want a better balance of visits between places and throughout the year. Tzitzikostas warned about the concentration of travel during certain periods and argued for the need to promote lesser-known destinations, encourage off-season travel, and favor longer stays. Resilience is not just about quickly recovering from impacts or crises. It is also about being able to absorb them. Tzitzikostas warned that the sector must prepare to face risks such as geopolitical tensions, climate change, trade uncertainty, and the shortage of professionals. #TurismoEU #AcademiaTurística #CompetitividadEuropea (translated)
