Each one tells a different future, and all seem likely

Are our works by removing us? That is one of the great fears What we have about the impact of artificial intelligence In society. The question is important and inevitablebut today there is no way to answer it with certainty. And it is not because we are not trying to do it. The AI ​​(say) is priming with the newly graduates In early August a reported report In The Atlantic He warned of something worrying: the unemployment rate among the newly American graduates was growing. Among the possible causes, a slow recovery was cited from the pandemic, but also a more disturbing one: that AI is used to solve the tasks that those newly graduates made in their first jobs. Wait, maybe AI is not replacing anyone. Shortly after, another study of the Economic Innovation Group titled with sarcasm “AI and works: the last word (until the next one arrives)” precisely raised the opposite situation. After analyzing several jobs theoretically exposed to the impact of AI, they detected that changes in unemployment rates were practically null or non -existent. According to those responsible, the AI ​​is not at the moment taking our work, and if it is doing, the impact is for now very small. A third study to liar more things. And of course the story did not end there, because a few days ago it appeared A new study led by the well -known academic and economist Erik Brynjolfsson. Here the research seemed to confirm the hypothesis of the first study cited: the AI ​​is impacting on employment, but not on the world: only in that of the newly graduated from the university. Young people have it more difficult, adults do not. According to their data, young people between 22 and 25 who start working as software developers or customer service agents They were having difficulty finding employment Because the IAS begin to occupy these positions instead. Thus, in the works most exposed to AI, these young people have seen 6% less employment, when other age ranges have increased the employment rate between 6 and 9%. On the one hand, the Economic Innovation Group study pointed out that there is hardly any impact between unemployment rates in theoretically expued work to AI. A difficult situation to explain. These three studies raise a confusing reality: is the work taking away, or not? Two of the studies do point to this focusing on young people who finish their university studies and look for a first job. Analyst Noah Smith contrasted That data and asked a question: how is it possible that companies are not hiring so many young people, but are increasingly hiring engineers of more than 40? There is a plausible, but not definitive explanation. On the other, the Brynjolfsson et al. (2025) reveals that the exhibition does exist, but only for the newly graduated young people between 22 and 25 years. The AI ​​as a complement to who knows and as a substitute for the one who does not. These studies that point to a real impact on the use of the youngest could be explained with a theory: companies are seeing that AI can in effect resolve “basic” tasks that the newly graduated, previously resolved, So there is a substitution effect. But they are also verifying that AI can also help workers with experience improving their productivity, so there is an effect of complementarity, of “co -pilot” of the worker. If that is true – and for the moment it is difficult to know – we have an important problem. Theories. Bharat Chandar, one of Brynjolfsson’s collaborators, explained In an independent article that “AI is exceptionally good in the type of knowledge that can be learned from books or that constitute the core of formal education.” But it also pointed to another possibility: that for companies it is easier to avoid hiring new employees than to let those already existing in an adjustment period that is affecting sectors such as software development. And now how I win experience? These first works of the newly graduated have always been crucial to gain experience and train in the professional field, but if AI begins to impact these jobs, the danger is that the quota of experienced professionals with experience It looks reduced. Companies will enter A dangerous vicious circle: If they do not form new employees, they will not gain experience that then serves to make them more productive. The possible transformation of the “first job”. This impact could break that cycle that we followed before to gain experience at work, but does not mean that there are no future options. In fact, you can make this experience gain accelerate. If companies hire newly graduated but they know how to take advantage of AI tools to learn and gain much faster capabilities, companies will have an opportunity on that scenario. Here correct and supervise the AI ​​- for example, so that it is aligned with the objectives of the company – and provide a creative resolution of problems assisted by AI can also contribute many integers in these young profiles.

Saudi Arabia hugs renewables for the most unexpected: reinforce their oil power

by

The oil market faces an unexpected turn: the threat to large exporters does not come from the capitals that lead electrification, such as Oslo or Shenzhen, but from the heart of the industry, Saudi Arabia. In a column published in Bloomberg Opinionanalyst David Fickling summarized it with a disturbing metaphor: “The murderer calls from within.” Domestic appetite by crude is stopped. Since the beginning of the century, the consumption of oil in Saudi Arabia had shot. According to Bloombergdoubled to 2.3 million barrels per day, with between a quarter and a third destined to feed electric and fuel power plants to combat abrasive summers. However, this trend has begun to be reversed. The official plan is to almost completely eliminate the burning of crude in electricity generation from here to 2030. As explained by Saudi Aramco, Amin Nasser, replacing that oil with renewables equivalent, in terms of export, to drill new wells. The International Energy Agency even warns that this change could represent the greatest drop in oil demand in the world in the next five years. The commitment to renewables. Behind this turn is the massive deployment of solar energy. Fickling energy expert has pointed out That Acwa Power, the largest Saudi developer, plans to reach 78 renewable gigawatts in 2030, enough to cover all the electricity that the country generates today with oil. Since 2024 It has already connected Almost 5 GW in new solar plants and has another 15 GW on the way. Logic is simple: in Saudi Arabia, solar electricity costs less than half than the conventional network. In addition, panels are easier to install than oil infrastructure, a land in which the kingdom was always strong. However, enthusiasm is not exempt from doubts. The Kpler consultant Calculate thatof the 130 GW announced by the Government, only 11.6 GW will really be online in 2030, which would prolong the use of crude oil in the electricity grid. The Saudi impulse is not limited to the plot. The country You have already connected the battery system Storage, Bisha Bess (500 MW/2,000 MWh), operated by Saudi Electric Company with Byd Chinese technology. This allows to integrate intermittent renewables into the network and gives infrastructure flexibility. To this is added a plan to produce lithium in 2027 and uranium enrichment and enrichment projects To boost nuclear energy. It clashes with megaprojects. This energy advance contrasts with vision problems 2030 in its most spectacular version. The Saudi Public Investment Fund cut 8,000 million dollars to the neom megaprojectquestioning the viability of initiatives such as The Line or the Trojena Ski Station. A high -risk geopolitical play. The Saudi movement has implications beyond its energy balance. While the kingdom has driven OPEC+ to increase production in a saturated market, with the aim of pressing the American fracking and recovering market share. This has tensioned the seams of the poster: United Arab Emirates, Kazakhstan or Iraq produce above their installments, and Russia has shown an open disagreement with the Saudi strategy. In the international market prices also suffer. According to ReutersSaudi Arabia could cut official sales prices (OSP) for Asia in October: Arab Light would be reduced between 40 and 70 cents per barrel, up to 2.50–2,80 dollars on the Oman/Dubai reference, and other degrees would fall between 40 and 60 cents. The combination of lower demand, abundance of Russian crude and a greater flow of American oil presses interest in Saudi crude. The Saudi paradox. What seemed like the Achilles heel of Saudi Arabia – his voracious internal crude consumption – has become his most surprising strategic weapon. When betting on solar energy, battery storage and, to a lesser extent, the nuclear, the kingdom seeks to maintain its role as a dominant supplier in the global market. But this same play threatens to undermine the OPEC foundations and enlarge a fiscal deficit that is already forcing to cut pharaonic projects such as Neom. Saudi Arabia Libra two battles at the same time: one to continue reigning in oil and another to reinvent itself in the post-hydrocarbons era. The open question is if you can win both.

Gentrification has turned ports into inaccessible resorts

by

A hundred shipowners demonstrated last Saturday in Cartagena while the Ocean Race was celebrated. Among the banners you could read things like “the sea is not sold” or “decent cattle rates”. And it is that while the gigantic yachts and more pointers in the world sailed through the Murcian bay, on land they protested the sailors who use those same waters the rest of the year. It is this image that summarizes perfectly The crisis that crosses the nautical recreational in Spain. A background problem. What began as isolated protests in different ports has become An increasingly generalized phenomenon. Small vessel shipowners denounce disproportionate increases in mooring rates that are expelling them from the ports. In Cartagena, the cost of mooring a five -meter ship has gone from 30 euros per month in 2000 to 400 euros current. In Ibiza, the situation is even more dramatic. And is that the medium The nautical gazette He shared one of the budgets of Port Nàutic Ibiza for an 8.95 meter vessel, which has seen its annual rate triple from 7,300 to 25,700 euros. Port Nàutic Ibiza budget for a motor of 8.95 meters in length. Image: Nautical Gazette A new reality for the market. As mentioned The confidentialbehind these increases there is a structural change in the Spanish nautical sector. Investment funds such as CVC, known for their agreements with LaLiga, have entered the business through business groups such as D-Marin, which already manages ports in Barcelona and Mallorca. The traditional model of Yacht Clubs, designed to foster sports and social activity, now competes with marine oriented exclusively to maximize benefits. “In the background, a kind of gentrification is being lived that repeats the same processes that we see in the housing sector”, explained to the Enrique Rey, partner of a sailing school at Mar Menor. The figures that confirm the trend. The data of the Higher Sports Council show the real impact of this transformation. Federative candle licenses have fallen from 50,000 before the 2008 crisis less than 20,000 in 2024. A 60% reduction that reflects how high costs are closing the door to new navigators. “The entrance barrier for this world is higher and popular nautical has less space”, summarize King. Social nautical. Paradoxically, there is no consensus on where to draw the line between accessible navigation and luxury. For the Balearic Government, social nautical places it in eight meters. This ambiguity has allowed to some extent that the new concessionaires establish exponentially higher rates for vessels that exceed the established limit by a few centimeters. As warns Manu Fraga, director of the Real Club Náutico de Palma: “If this is generalized, the majority of residents who today have a ship, will have where to put it.” And now what. The president of the Royal Spanish Federation of Vela, Joaquín González Devesa, proposes That the nautical clubs declare their public utility and allocate at least 10% of their income to federated sport, losing the concession who do not meet it. On the other hand, King too Point out The regulation of coasts, which has limited traditional anchorage and access from beaches. The truth is that without an intervention of public institutions, the current model points to increasingly exclusive ports where, as Rey warns, “there will only be room for those who have luxury ships.” Cover image | Monika Guzikowska In Xataka | A Spaniard has patented a mast that transforms wind and waves into electricity: his invention challenges diesel into ships

The hatred of Middle Internet

by

If you have been watching the networks this weekend, surely you have seen The video in which a tennis player gives his cap to a child, but the man next to him rises from his hands. What followed was a good example that when the Internet is organized, you can get almost what you propose. What happened. It happened during the US Open that is being held in New York. Last Thursday, after the match against Russian Karen Khachanov, Polish tennis player Kamil Majchrzak approached the stands and began to sign autographs for his fans. One of them was a child of about 10 years who asked for his cap, to which the tennis player agreed. He did not give him time to smile: the man next to him snatched it and, making deaf ears to the kid’s complaints, puts it in a bag that his wife carried. The two smile proud, without being aware that everything has been recorded. The tennis player did not realize and continued signing, leaving the child without a gift. Fountain: X Internet detectives to rescue. The video It quickly went viral And the answer was swift. Outraged, many people began to investigate To identify man. On the other hand, another initiative was launched to try to find the child. After watching the video, the tennis player himself published in Your Instagram account A call to meet with the kid and be able to give him the cap that had been removed in front of his noses. Caught. On Saturday 30, two days after the incident, man was identified. This is Piotr Szczerek, a Polish millionaire and owner of the Drugbruk paving company. In addition to innumerable publications shaving your behaviorInternet found another way to make him pay his bad gesture: Fry the company to negative reviews. We do not know what your score was before, but currently Drugbruk has 1.4 on Google, A 2 in Tustpilot and a 1.4 in goworka Polish review site. There have also been users who They have sent critical messages through the company’s contact mailbox. The wave of criticism has made both Szczerek and his wife deactivate his accounts on social networks, according to The Sunday Times. This sounds to us. Although nothing to do with the fact of the theft of the cap, it reminds us of the case of Andy Byron, CEO of Astronomer, to whom the KISS-CAM From a Coldplay concert he presented while he had an adventure with its HR director. The parallels are clear: the identification of the protagonists thanks to the networks, the fierce criticisms (which in the case of Byron They flowed into their resignation), that both are millionaires and have a company … but above all the fact that the protagonists did not expect to be recorded. There is even another resemblance: in both cases letters of apology have been published of the two protagonists who have turned out to be false (as of this publication, Szczerek has not pronounced on the controversy). Happy end. After the publication of the tennis player, thanks to the networks He could locate it and met him. The player posted an image with the boy, called Brock, carrying a cap very similar to the one that took him a few days ago. In the end the child has been the best standing of this whole story.

The Maginot line defended Europe from the Nazi invasion. History is being repeated by Russia, but now it is not just concrete

by

The Maginot line It was a monumental but rigid wall initiated by France, so much, which was dodged in 1940 by the Wehrmacht through the Ardenas. Perhaps for this reason, today’s Europe assumes that no defense line can totally shield its borders, but it can channel and delay an invasion, while determining Moscow to undertake it. The crucial difference is that this time it is not just concrete. The return of an iron curtain. Eighty years after Churchill will proclaim That a “steel curtain” had fallen over Europe, the metaphor It is reversed: Now it is the western countries that raise walls, ditches and defense systems on their eastern borders. The erosion of the Security Framework after the Cold War, the Russian Invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and the perception that Moscow could redirect strength towards the Baltic or Finland countries They have triggered a vast fortification program reminiscent of the great defensive projects of the twentieth century, although with XXI technologies. The beginning. We have coming counting. From the Finnish Lapia to the Polish province of Lublin, Europe prepares to build a new “iron curtain”, but this time not ideology, but of steel and explosives. Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland, guardians of more than 3,400 kilometers of border with Russia and Belarus, have decided abandon The Ottawa Convention of 1997, which will allow them since the late 2025 to manufacture, store and deploy millions of antipersone and anti -tank mines. The measure, considered unthinkable just two decades ago, responds to the conviction that only one lethal and deterrence obstacle It can stop an eventual Russian offensive in a moment of maximum tension in the NATO eastern flank. Remains of the Maginot Line The end of a consensus. The decision is a drastic turn against international efforts that, from the 1990s, with figures ranging from Princess Diana to Tony Blair as driversThey sought to eradicate land mines due to their indiscriminate character and their devastating effect on civilians long after conflicts. That humanitarian ideal, translated into a treaty signed by 164 countries, now fades before the Russian threat, which never joined the agreement and today accumulates More than 26 million minesmassively used in Ukraine. The perception in Eastern Europe is clear: prohibiting them was a luxury of safe times; Today, national survival It demands to recover them. The epicenter: Lithuania. The most dramatic case is that of Lithuania, which must Defend 720 kilometers of border with Belarus and the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad, including the strategic Suwalki runneronly land step for NATO reinforcements towards Baltic countries. There, in villages as Šadžiūnaibarely inhabited by the elderly who remember the devastation of World War II, the inhabitants fear that their pine and birch forests, already surrounded by fences and border stalls, soon become mined fields. The contrast between rural life and imminence of a war scenario summarizes the Decision rawness. Europe divided by the original “curtain” of Churchill. NATO countries in Azul, the members of the Warsaw Pact in red, those not aligned in green and neutral gray countries (1988) Total defense and strategic urgency. Vilna plans to spend the 5.5% of your GDP In defense (more than double the United Kingdom) and has already reserved 800 million euros to produce hundreds of thousands of mines of all kinds. These will be integrated into a “counter -river” strategy that also includes dragon teeth, ditches, armed drones and long -range artillery. Lithuanian leaders, such as Defense Minister Dovile Šakalienė and her predecessor Laurynas Kasčiūnas, They argue That history shows that Russia only respects strength, and that the experience of Ukraine, which destroyed its arsenals by the treaty and today suffers millions of Russian mines in its territory, is an impossible warning to ignore. The closure of the most extensive border. With 1,340 kilometers of shared border, Finland approved the construction in 2023 of a fence that will cover 15% of its border territory, with a cost of more than 400 million dollars and completed completion for 2026. There is a nuance here: not only seeks to stop hypothetical Russian incursions, but also control the flow of citizens fleeing the conscription. The new walls and positions, even in Remote Arctic AreasThey replace the old wooden fences that only served to contain cattle, and mark a symbolic turn on a relatively permeable border. The Balkan effort. Already We tell it. Estonia was a pioneer In 2015 After the Russian annexation of Crimea, and since 2024, the three Baltic states with Poland advance in a joint fortification plan of 700 kilometers, budgeted in more than 2,000 million pounds. The measures include Anti -tanks, concrete dragon teeth, pyramids and blocks of several tons, blocked roads, mines, bridges prepared to fly and trees destined to collapse in case of invasion. In addition, more than 1,000 bunkers and deposits for ammunition and supplies are built, small but capable of resisting artillery fire and hosting squads of up to ten soldiers. In parallel, Poland builds a permanent fence Against Belarusconsidered the main ally of Moscow. Human impact and contradictions. The paradox is evident: it seeks to protect populations from a Russian aggression at the price of introduce weapons They have historically caused most of their victims among civilians, including children. In 2023, more than 2,000 people died in the world due to explosives of this type, often in countries where wars ended decades ago. Baltic governments promise that the mines will remain in deposits and will be activated only in case of emergency, with modern systems that allow to assemble them and disassemble them at a distance. However, families such as Jurate Penkovskiene, who already cava bunkers in his garden while listening to the rumble of NATO exercises, fear for security of their children if their forests become prohibited areas. The new European border. Thus, what is at stake is not only a military change, but a landscape transformation and collective psychology in Eastern Europe. Forests, lakes and border villages aim to be part of a defensive system … Read more

Until recently the young people looked at their selectivity note to know what they could study. Now look at something else: idealistic

by

“They ask you to get a good note to enter the race. You do it, but you can’t afford to live in the city where the university is.” Reflection He is from Carlos, a 21 -year -old university student who studies law and fights with the complicated task of looking for a rental that does not swallow his entire budget of the month, something that is not easy in a residential market of Shot pricesconditions Draconians and marked by The “boom” of tourist rentals. His is an isolated case. On the contrary, it reflects an increasingly worrying reality: the price of housing is costing Spain for more than families savings capacityhe is also spending his talent. “It affects the right to study”. That the price of housing influences the place where one can study their career is nothing new. It happened years ago. And decades. Even before the brick bubble. However, as rentals climb up to approach to the bubble peaks of 2007 and Spain entered a “Social Emergency” Marked by the house, the problem has become more and more serious. Have a roof today comes out and force tenants to assume conditions Hardwhich directly conditions students. It I recognized In 2024 the Minister of Science, Innovation and Universities, Diana Morantwhose department even signed A protocol with the Ministries of Economy and Housing precisely to promote “affordable” rental among university students. “The housing crisis is affecting the right to study a university career, Morant insisted. “Access to the university should only be limited by merit and personal effort, not for economic reasons.” “It’s a palmaria reality”. Morant is not the only one aware of the problem. The difficulties that young people find themselves when looking for accommodation worries to unions and even rectors, which They are not alien how the scale €/m2 of cities influences both or more in the future of students than selectivity. “The lack of accommodation is a Palmaria reality. We have 2,000 requests from place in residences for 1,000 squares,” I confessed recently to The country Ángel Arias, rector of the Carlos III University, who laments how difficult it is to solve the problem for the campus themselves. “Building a building is 25 million euros if you have the ground. It is 10% of the entire university budget.” Beyond Madrid and Barcelona. The problem is not exclusive to the great metropolis. “The issue of rates is not a great inconvenience to study at the university. What begins to be the limiting element? In some cities it is already the price of rental houses,” ditch Julián Garde, from the University of Castilla-La Mancha. Similarly, his Extremadura counterpart, Pedro Fernández, is expressed, convinced that the cost of registration no longer removes the dream of the students of the students. They do the rentals, the €/m2. “In Mérida and Cáceres there is a lot of accommodation availability that is used for tourism, and that makes the prices for the students have a lot.” How serious is the problem? Recently Live4lifea student specialized rental platform, launched A study which reveals that when deciding in which university 45% of young people are going to be formed are conditioned by a key factor: the rental price. Moreover, 58% rules out the most expensive cities and 64% indicate the cost of housing as its main obstacle, which conditions both their academic future and their way of looking for floors. “Young people delay as much as possible the search for a place to live during the university course. There are few offers and prices are rising, so they expect much more to see if they find any bargain,” assures The firm’s CEO, Alberto Añaños. The problem is aggravated if you take into account that more and more students They demand training outside their province of origin: in the 2022/2023 course they already exceeded 300,000 people, and many move to another autonomous community. Who do they do? Above all Students with parents with higher studies and good jobs, which suggests a social gap. “You have to pass some ‘hunger games’”. So far the perspective of politicians, rectors and researchers, but … how do the students themselves live? Eldiario.es published A report with testimonies of several university students who demonstrate how the high cost of the house (and the hardening of the requirements requested by the homemade) is conditioning their training. “There are people who are renouncing their university square for the impossibility of being able to pay a rental. If it is already difficult to access a place in the university, now the housing crisis adds one more lock,” Underline Coral Latorre, directive of the Student Union, before warning that this handicap does not affect everyone equally. It weighs mostly in the humblest homes. Idealist slopes. “My sister is 18 years old and has made selectivity. He wants confesses María Ángeles Guzmán, of the Coordinator of Representatives of Public University Students. Another young university student, Avril, 22, sees with impotence how the start date of his face -to -face master’s degree is approaching and does not yet have an apartment in which to stay. He had signed one and even paid to reserve it, but assures that the real estate company told her and her partner that the agreement could not be closed because they do not meet the conditions of “economic solvency study.” Is the house so expensive? The figures are eloquent again. According to Idealista, throughout the last decade (August 2015 to the same month of 2025), rentals have almost doubled in Spain: € 7.5/m2 have passed to 14.5. And that is the state average. In Madrid it went from € 11.9/m2 to 22.2 and in Barcelona from 12.3 to 23.1. They are relevant data because, in addition to being the largest cities in the country, they are also the ones that brings together greater concentration of universities.

If you want to get media attention, nothing like boycotting a sports competition

by

The return to Spain 2025 is living One of his most complicated years At the image level. With a transnational scope that had not been seen in a sporting event in our country, a boycott is interrupting races with pro-palestine claims, obtaining media attention that exceeds the strictly sports. The return organization affirms that it will take legal measures in a conflict that has served to put several issues on the table: the Sportwashingactivist coordination and supposed neutrality of sporting events. What is it. We are facing a coordinated campaign of protests against the participation of the Israel-Premier Tech team, motivated by Israel’s actions in Gaza and, additionally, denouncing The call Sportswashing (Use of sport to clean the international image of a country). The actions have been organized by the BDS movement (boycott, divestment and sanctions) and the solidarity network against the occupation of Palestine, together with platforms and groups from various regions of Spain and Europe. For several stages of the Vuelta, especially since its entry into Spanish territory, groups of activists They have cut the roads At the passage of the Israeli team, showing banners with messages such as “neutrality is complicity. Boicot to Israel” and Palestinian flags. These protests (almost always peaceful) have been broadcast live, where the detention of some protesteras happened in the Tamos’s counterreloj in Figueres (Girona). What reactions have been to the boycott? Mostly support: political parties such as Podemos, IU and Minister Sira Rego (Summar), have demanded the exclusion of the Israeli team and supported the legitimate right of demonstration. On the other hand, the organization of the competition has opposed the boycott firmly: its director Javier Guillén has described the interruptions to the passage of the Israel-Premier Tech team as “acts of violence” And he has announced the presentation of complaints before the police, claiming security reasons. Guillén has declared that all claims are legitimate only if they are channeled peacefully, and that it is not contemplated to expel the Israeli team, defending that it participates by “sports merits”, although they admit be aware of the “political climate” Around the team. Two cyclists have retired from the competition: The Canadian Derek Geefourth in the last turn of Italy and the Danish Jakob Fuglsang, who expressed his relief from Not having to dress the colors of Israel-Premier Tech more. European scale This boycott has become the largest sports campaign against Israel ever seen before in Europe. One of the reasons is that, due to the nature of the competition, which is not restricted to the walls of a stadium or the limits of a Ciudad, it has had follow -up in various cities of the country. The woven network between citizen platforms and international activists demonstrates the capacity of digital activism to mobilize resources, strategies and broad actions in a short time. The organizing platforms have highlighted the scope of the boycott, related to it, According to the public newspaperwith which he lived against the apartheid of South Africa, and where the boycott allowed him to Paíos will be expelled from different competitions from the Olympic Games. Sports and its global reach demonstrates an important tool for political protest. The problem of Sportwashing. Organizations are denouncing the use of Sportwashing by Israel to wash its image, a complaint that connects with the voices that They heard against the participation of the country in Eurovision for similar reasons. It should be remembered that after the invasion of Ukraine, Russia was expelled from the returnwhat makes you think for boycott promoters in a double standard in favor of Isarl. The impossible sports neutrality. Although the organization of the Vuelta defends the presence of Israel, taking into account strictly sports criteria, the promoters argue that Sport is an intrinsically political space and that the alleged neutrality only serves to perpetuate injustices. In sports media and In social networksthe debate is on the table: the limits of the protest in sporting events, the role of sponsors and the Ethical responsibility of sports institutions These are issues that, at least, this boycott has served to introduce sports discussion, which is undoubtedly extremely healthy.

He Eclipseowned by Roman Abramovich, not only stands out for its dimensions, but for its impressive consumption. In fact, this has been one of the most controversial points since during the three years it has remained in Puerto they have had to keep the engine running because they could not turn off the air conditioning. The context of Ukraine. After the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian army, the United States and Europe imposed a financial block for the assets of the Russian oligarchs. That block left tied to port and seized to hundreds of suspicious superyates to belong to Russian millionaires close to Putin’s power circles.
