Publicity
Gibraltar, which voted overwhelmingly to stay within Europe during the Brexit referendum, must face the facts: the link with London remains essential.
It is thanks to the vaccines sent by air from the United Kingdom that the “rock” is today a territory without Covid.

Dutch dockers demand better working conditions
Remember the
Ever Given
, the ship that totally blocked traffic on the Suez Canal, which connects Asia and Europe, for nearly a week, in March 2021.
The traffic of goods around the globe has resumed, but the effects of the Mayhem of March are still being felt far north of Egypt, in the Netherlands.
In
Rotterdam
, the largest port in Europe, the reopening of the canal was synonymous with the simultaneous arrival of a large number of merchant ships.
A real nightmare for Dutch dockers, already under pressure for several years.

From pop to politics
20 years ago, the
Russian
group
TATU was a hit in Europe.
TATU, it is two women, Yulia Volkova and Lena Katina who then stage their supposed homosexuality.
Sign of the times: twenty years later, the group does not make people talk about it for its pop music but because Yulia, the brunette, intends to run for the legislative elections under the United Russia label.
