Contemporary art: Venice Biennale, a geopolitical carnival

Despite being one of the most prestigious shows in the international contemporary art calendar, the Venice Biennale does not attract a great deal of local support in the City of the Doges. Now that guest countries have co-opted it as a pretext to display wealth and influence, French weekly Télérama argues that the event's significance is increasingly geopolitical rather than artistic.

Is austerity the main cause of the recession?

1956

You say...

There is no "austerity". This is just propaganda of the states, which prefer to take on new debt rather than carry out structural reforms. No country in Europe has a balanced budget.

aditec on Is austerity the main cause of the recession?

I dare say that your "schism" would be not like Luther's, rather it would be like Thomas Müntzer's one. It is one thing not to like how the euro is working, but quite another to mix up misunderstood concepts which serve only to deepen the abyss that already exists.

El elogio de la locura on Europe needs its Martin Luther

These people certainly help to show huge loopholes in the EU system. Is the EU able to act? Laws must be tightened so that people cannot receive benefits in a country where they have never worked. And most of all there must be exemplary penalties against gang leaders.
