Price caps not just in Hungary and Poland, but even in Denmark

While the Ministry of Finance predicts inflation will end 2022 at just over 5 percent, food prices are expected to increase twice as fast.

So it is comforting to learn that the Salling Group is placing a price ceiling on everyday basic products such as oatmeal and milk which will remain in place from June 1 until October 28.

100 million loss on milk alone

“The price cap is a guarantee that customers can navigate until the end of October because there are so many prices that have gone up due to inflation,” Per Bank, the CEO of Salling Group, told TV2.

The government of USA (USA), under the command of the Democrat Joe Bidentook a turn in the policy towards Venezuela by easing some of its sanctions to the oil country.

Venezuelan Executive Vice President Delcy Rodríguez confirmed on Twitter that the US “has authorized US and European oil companies to negotiate and restart operations in Venezuela”.

Why is the United States relaxing sanctions against Venezuela?

María Puerta, professor of US government in Florida, explained to La República that the sanctions “are a policy inherited from the Donald Trump administration with which Biden did not fully agree.”

Так было год назад

Районный комитет Рамат Эшколь в Лоде сегодня утром (в четверг) опубликовал заявлениеэ по поводу событий последней тяжелой ночи в городе: «Вот уже три ночи мы находимся в возрастающей опасности и предупреждаем, что ситуация серьезная».

Местные жители поблагодарили многочисленных добровольцев, которые прибыли, чтобы помочь спасти жизни жителей: «После двух ночей, в течение которых мы были брошены на произвол судьбы, когда арабские мятежники беспрепятственно бушуют на улицах, а еврейские семьи в страхе заперлись в своих домах без защиты, и улицы в городе выглядят как после войны мы возопили о нашем тяжелом положении в социальных сетях и народ Израиля мобилизовался а большом количестве. Народ Израиля четко заявил: кровь евреев - не водица».

Inflation is high, but such a term – ‘galloping inflation’, in the economy does not exist”, commented to the Bulgarian media "Dnevnik" Lubomir Datsov, former Deputy Minister of Finance. "It can't be economic. It's a socio-political term to show that inflation is running wild like a horse," he added.

The National Statistical Institute does not use terms such as "galloping inflation" and "hyperinflation", which are dynamic and, in many cases, subjective concepts.

Юрген Конингс: Год спустя

17 мая прошлого года бывший кадровый военный по имени Юрген Конингс не вернулся домой с работы. Несколько дней спустя на него была начата общенациональная охота, которая длилась пять недель, пока 21 июня он не был найден мертвым.

Федеральная прокуратура заявила, что Конингс умер, покончив с собой из огнестрельного оружия.

«Я не могу жить с ложью людей, которые решают, как нам жить. Так называемая политическая элита, а теперь еще и вирусологи решают, как нам с вами жить. Они сеют ненависть и разочарование, хуже, чем прежде. И против этого никто не восстает. Скажи что-нибудь против, и ты будешь наказан».

Lebanon voted Sunday in its first election since multiple crises dragged it to the brink of failed statehood, with the ruling elite expected to comfortably weather public anger.

"It seems almost impossible to imagine Lebanon voting for more of the same -- and yet that appears to be the likeliest outcome," said Sam Heller, an analyst with the Century Foundation.

Israel’s peace camp is mourning Uri Savir, who passed away on Friday at the age of 69. Best known in Israel for the central role he played in negotiating the Oslo Accords, Savir continued in the post-Oslo years to promote peace and coexistence in different forums.

The son of one of Israel’s first diplomats, Savir joined the Foreign Ministry shortly after completing his studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. In the early 1980s, he began his role as a senior associate of then-Foreign Minister Shimon Peres, engaging in contacts between Peres and several Arab leaders.

In 1993, Peres appointed Savir director general of the Foreign Ministry. It was in that role that Savir served as Israel’s chief negotiator vis-à-vis the Palestinians during the Oslo process, setting out to achieve a final status peace agreement with the PLO.

The Biden administration quickly condemned Israel

“We were deeply troubled by the images of Israeli police intruding into the funeral procession of Palestinian American Shireen Abu Akleh,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated.” Every family deserves to lay their loved ones to rest in a dignified and unimpeded manner.”

Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the US Ambassador to the UN, stated: “Deeply distressed by the images from Shireen Abu Akleh’s funeral procession. The tragedy of her killing should be handled with the utmost respect, sobriety, and care.”

Seven years ago it looked like Lutfur Rahman’s political career was finished. An excoriating High Court judgment by the Electoral Commissioner Richard Mawrey QC had found the mayor of Tower Hamlets and his agents guilty of multiple counts of corrupt and illegal practices including ghost voters — people with made up names or voters who didn’t live at the address for which they were registered. It also found people voting in the name of others, postal vote fraud, paying canvassers — a practice barred by electoral laws — and bribery, partly through council grants to help secure the support of local organisations and community groups.

Last Friday Mr Rahman’s ambitions were fulfilled once again as he was swept back into power, winning the Tower Hamlets mayoralty with an even bigger margin of victory over Labour’s John Biggs than in the 2014 election.

Ультимативный Аргумент Российского Интеллигента

Дорогие мои земляки! Советчики и реформаторы! Энтузиасты и преобразователи!

Ради Бога, успокойтесь! Американской демократии двести лет. И все эти годы американская демократия слабеет. Все эти годы ей предсказывают скорейшую гибель. Все эти годы дорожает жизнь. Все эти годы чернокожие пугают нас до смерти.

А магазины по-прежнему ломятся от жратвы.
