David Alandete wrote that the United States ambassador to the UN, Mike Waltz, had denounced that leaders of the Cuban regime lived surrounded by luxury in Spain while the population of the island faced blackouts, shortages, and repression. According to Alandete, Waltz also pointed out that relatives of regime members traveled by private jet to Spain and to countries in Latin America. The complaint questioned the Spanish Government for, apparently, not having taken measures to clarify the source of the funds used to maintain that lifestyle. Alandete added that this occurred after the regime had forced Spanish tourism companies to leave the island and amid increasing pressure on the dictatorship. #Cuba #DerechosHumanos #ONU (translated)

FOGGIA REPORTER: "THE NEWSSTAND IS NOT DEAD, IT HAS ONLY CHANGED ITS FACE: SAN SEVERO SHEDS LIGHT ON AN ENTIRE SECTOR IN CRISIS" by CRISTIANA LENOCI SOURCE: https://www.foggiareporter.it/ledicola-non-e-morta-ha-solo-cambiato-volto-da-san-severo-si-accendono-i-riflettori-su-un-intero-settore-in-crisi.html SAN SEVERO (FG) — From 35,000 to 20,000 in twenty years, 5,000 Italian municipalities are without a newsstand. In San Severo, an old newsstand on via Matteo Tondi becomes the smallest theater in the world: 4 square meters, 6 chairs, and a revolution. For sixty years, it was the place to pick up the newspaper, ask about the results of the game, leave keys with a neighbor. Then the shutter went down, the glass became opaque, the sign faded. This is how newsstands are ending in Italy today. But sometimes, this is how they are reborn. In San Severo, on via Matteo Tondi, an abandoned newsstand for six years became on March 27, 2026, World Theater Day, the Teatro Edicola Foyer ’97. Four square meters, six chairs, fifteen-minute shows. An idea by director and artistic director Francesco Gravino and his company Foyer ’97. They have called it “the smallest theater in the world,” and the news has circulated among international agencies, becoming a case study for the Stanford Social Innovation Review with the report “The Six-Seat Revolution.” An old newsstand that returns to being what it has always been: a place of knowledge, culture, and work. Only now it distributes stories instead of newspapers. A sector at risk of disappearing The story of San Severo sheds light on a silent hemorrhage. We had 35,000 newsstands in 2005, and we have about 20,000 in 2024: -43%. According to FENAGI data released in 2026, the points of sale in 2025 were about 19,500, but only 6,000 were exclusive traditional newsstands. The most painful statistic is geographic: nearly 5,000 Italian municipalities no longer have a newsstand. In two out of three municipalities, there is no longer a point of sale for newspapers and magazines. Other tallies, those from Sinagi, report a collapse from 38,000 exclusive newsstands to about 11,000 still active. In the last four years, from 2019 to 2023, almost 2,700 newsstands have disappeared, of which 2,327 were individual businesses. Rome lost 303, Turin 138, Milan 129. Isernia lost more than a third of its newsstands in four years. Why? Decline in paper sales, digital subscriptions, rising management costs, reduced profitability. In economics, it's called a "falling demand sector." On the street, it is simply called the end of a habit. Not just newspapers Yet the newsstand has never been only about newspapers. In the past, it was an information outpost, a reference point, the guardian of a neighborhood. It was self-employment, often familial, involving early mornings at 4 a.m. to be ready when the city wakes up. Today, those who resist reinvent themselves: local bookstore, service point, package pickup, ticket sales, coffee corner. Those who can't make it, close. The example of Foyer 97 in San Severo tells us one simple and uncomfortable truth: we cannot save all newsstands as newsstands. But we can save their essence. A 4-square-meter kiosk in Puglia becoming a theater reminds us that those few square meters are worth more than the rent they no longer pay. They are valuable because they are already where people pass by. They are already recognized as a public place. They are already culture, even when they no longer sell culture on paper. If newsstands stop selling newspapers, they do not necessarily have to stop selling knowledge. (translated)

Alpier had written that people should not be pushed to show their feelings in front of cameras to provide the public with a story to comment on. He argued that spontaneity and respect for personal timing were often mistaken for indifference or lack of content. According to the author, every behavior of a couple on social media ended up being criticized: lack of interactions was read as disdain, while closeness or a caress were considered false or acted. She stated that the problem was the tendency always to look for reasons to criticize and wrote that, for her, the video summed everything up. In conclusion, she urged people to protect themselves. #alepier #sentimenti #spontaneità #rispetto (translated)

I don't want to be near you – he replies, now exasperated by the provocations of the ultra candidate –. I want distance from the Bolsonaro family. I want distance from the militias. I am not here to put on a show or to endure street intimidation. "I am not here to put on a show or to endure street intimidation," Lula said in response to the excessive proximity and repeated mocking grimaces made by Bolsonaro Jr. during the address of the outgoing president. As for security, Lula observes that it is not enough to counter criminal organizations with force, but it is necessary to "target their financial flows and their money laundering mechanisms." Do you know how bad poverty is in Argentina? Do you know what unemployment is like? If you don't know, read! And you won't say you support Milei anymore. #ElezioniBrasile #Lula #BolsonaroJr (translated)

Ilaria Salis expressed concerns for the people who were stopped and detained in connection with the events in Milan, indicating that it was unclear where they were located and that among them there were numerous minors with a migratory background. She added that any crimes should have been verified in the competent venues and that they should not have deprived young people of their fundamental rights. Salis recalled episodes of serious violence that occurred, in her opinion, in the recent history of the country during moments of great tension, expressing hope that her concerns were unfounded. She accused the right of authoritarianism and being driven by vengeance, classism, and racism, and argued that Italy should remain a law-based state, not a police state. She also reiterated that guarantees and fundamental rights should apply to everyone, especially in those moments. From Strasbourg, she reported that she was trying to contact the competent authorities to better understand the situation and contribute to a peaceful solution. Finally, she thanked the self-organized legal team that was assisting the people involved. #DirittiUmani #Solidarietà #GiustiziaSociale (translated)
