Had President Putin chosen to sit down with the Ukrainian President to make Ukraine sufficiently attractive offers, in return for the latter's agreeing not to join #NATO, things would not have escalated this way. Unless of course this is all to distract Russian public opinion...

Freelancers in #Spain already pay the highest social security (NI) contributions in the EU, but if proposed changes come into force, we could pay triple the amount of self employed ppl in the UK!

⬛️⬜️ #Onthisday, the Day of the #Catalan Soldier, we remember the 1641 victory at the Battle of Montjuïc, in which #Catalan troops defeated the Castillian army during the Reaper's War. To all those Catalans who stood up against injustice and fought for our freedoms. (1/3)

Hi ha un funcionari del Parlament que cobra el sou de lletrat major i triennis de lletrat major (més de 200.000€) sense treballar de lletrat major. Pensau que seria un escàndol que sortiria a la portada de l’ARA si no fos col·laborador i informador seu? #PeriodismedInvestigació
