"France's national debt surpasses GDP, finance minister maybe heading for IMF bailout"

I don't know how IMF will bailout #France without dictating obvious terms that will spark protests like in Kenya last year, maybe IMF terms and conditions will be different from that of #Kenya or elsewhere, but IMF is a red flag.

So there is a massive power outage in Spain and Portugal right now. No phone service, no Internet, no "modern" life 😁. The cause is unknown - https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2025/04/28/spain-portugal-and-parts-of-france-hit-by-massive-power-outage

What is funny is that we are in the mountains in spain with our TROMhome and we had no clue about any of these. We are fully offgrid in terms of power.

We have lots of solar panels, enough batteries, and satellite internet. So we are all good.

Perhaps we are indeed ready for an apocalypse. Waiting for it here in Picos de Europa 😀

But yah, interesting this happened. Likely no "mysterious" cause. Keep an eye on the updates here - https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c9wpq8xrvd9t

J'ai fait 5/8 mais plus parce que j'arrivais à deviner quelle réponse différait des autres que par connaissance de la langue.
Mais faites-le ne serait-ce que pour les explications.
Il y a des règles de la langue française qui relèvent davantage des calculs quantiques que de la grammaire !

#Palestine / Spain’s prime minister says he will propose that parliament recognizes a Palestinian state

[…] “I will propose granting #Spain’s recognition to the Palestinian state, […] I do this out of moral conviction, for a just cause and because it is the only way that the two states, Israel and #Palestine, can live together in peace.”

[…] Spain demanded “respect for international law from Russia, and from Israel, for the violence to end, the recognition of two states, and for humanitarian aid to reach Gaza.”

Pedro Sánchez follows #France’s Macron and #UK’s Cameron, who signaled their country’s interest in promoting a similar initiative.
