Barcelona still has plenty of regular commercial Hotels that are purpose built to house many tourists.

somehow an even bigger clusterfuck
I agree that rejoining won’t magically solve all problems but I don’t see how it would make things worse.
austerity measure after austerity measure and somehow made our budgetal deficit worse
Not surprising.
Reducing government spending means reducing the money that is in economic circulation.
Companies earn less, people earn less and ultimately taxes go down.
Ah, I see.
So the water is not too warm for cooling, it’s too warm to absorb the backfeed, which is a necessary result of the cooling process.
Which effectively still means that they can’t properly cool the plant because the river water is too warm.
This principle is called Richtlinienkompetenz (directive competence). He or she can basically order members of his cabinet what to do.
It should be noted, that this doesn’t allow the Chancellor to micromanage the Ministers.
The Chancellor can set the political agenda and make high level decisions but Ministers have some degree of constitutionally ensured independence in how exactly they implement policies.
Tbf, it sounds like neither side did a stellar job here.
Poland not reacting “for several hours” makes it sound almost deliberate.
Then again, I wonder how German police “informed” Poland for there to be no reaction. Did they fax?
If they think the situation requires an immediate reply, why not call them? Surely a dedicated border patrol unit would have a contact number.
Also, despite Schengen I don’t think police can just cross the border to another state unless in pursuit of some fleeing criminal.
And just dumping these people in some random location without any involvement of local authorities doesn’t seem like proper protocol.
It doesn’t “rely” on that.
France doesn’t rely on river water to cool power plants?
Where does the water come from then?
That’s half the explanation.
The economic and social decline makes people susceptible to populists.
But the other half is this:
They’re not the only populists.
To vote for outright, obvious Neo-Nazis you also have to ok with Neo-Nazis.
Inflation “going down” doesn’t mean there is no more inflation. It only means that there is less inflation than before
Keep in mind that “inflation going down” is usually shorthand for the year-on-year inflation rate going down.
If the yoy inflation rate goes down from one month to the next, then prices are still higher than previous year but may very well have fallen since last month.
I think they’re talking about ovens in the kitchen, not heating with gas.
The AfD is a party full of literal Hitler worshipping neo-Nazis.
I know some countries have mandatory voting but that seems a bit harsh.
Actually this isn’t a semantic argument.
As far as Spain is concerned there are factual de jure differences.
Despite a higher degree of autonomy, Catalonia has been part of Spain for a while now.
It seems they even accepted the Spanish constitution:
After Franco’s death in 1975, Catalonia voted for the adoption of a democratic Spanish Constitution in 1978
Palestine (neither West Bank nor Gaza) on the other hand has never been part of Israel.
Is Palestine a splinter state though?
It never meant “The Commission President is now elected directly by the people”.
And that is fine. I am German so as you line out, I don’t get to vote for the Chancellor directly either.
But there were two EP elections since the system changed. and in one of them the public vote didn’t matter.
That does not make for a good precedent and does not make me believe that it will be different this time.
I mean, for the 2019 election they put forward 2 candidates then we, the European voters, got to vote in the elections for EU parliament, then a third candidate won.
That does not inspire confidence in the Spitzenkandidat system.
True, I didn’t find any major publications confirming it. All the articles that do were published on the same day.
I just wanted to provide additional info, which curiously seems to have been disliked by people?
Seven wannabe European Commission chiefs — and one seeking to extend her reign — are going up against each other in the first debate of the EU election campaign.
Who’s going to come out on top? And can anyone beat incumbent Commission President Ursula von der Leyen?
Who cares?
The commission president isn’t determined by the EU election but backdoor deals between governments.
It’s always good to question unknown sources but Euronews seems to report the same thing:

I understand the other arguments but I’m confused about this one.
If houses that were used to house tourists are no longer allowed to do so, why would they not become available for either rent or sale?
What else is there for the owners to do with them?
