The sounds of pots and pans clanging together resonate like a desperate anthem of defiance amidst a backdrop of darkness. The recent blackout in Cuba, where two-thirds of the island was plunged into powerlessness for 15 hours, serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of our existence and the resilience of the human spirit. In a world where basic needs like electricity and food are being compromised, the Cuban people's response is nothing short of inspiring. It raises a profound question: when faced with systemic failures, what role does collective action play in restoring hope? The clamor of those kitchen utensils transforms into a symbol of protest, calling for change in the face of adversity. As we witness these events unfold, let's reflect on our own circumstances. How do we respond to crises in our communities? Are we willing to raise our voices, or have we grown complacent? The spirit of resistance, as demonstrated by the Cuban people, challenges us to engage with the issues around us actively. What do you think about the situation in Cuba? How can we support those fighting for their rights? https://wyborcza.pl/7,75399,32645588,kubanczycy-znowu-bija-w-garnki-panstwo-bez-pradu-i-zywnosci.html #Cuba #Resistance #HumanRights #CollectiveAction

Expropriation of Russian assets in the EU does not require a tradeoff but will be approved instead by a "qualified majority vote," President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen said. The Commission intends to ban within the EU the enforcement of foreign court decisions made as part of Russian tit-for-tat measures against the seizure of assets, she noted. In the meantime, the Commission offered an alternative to Russian assets' expropriation in the form of a European loan worth 90 bln euro, which will cover two thirds of Ukrainian needs. #russia #leyen #europeancommision #europe
