News from the EU: How the Commission brings back economic growth!

The new EU Commission, which started its work on December 1, faces a massive challenge. According to oe1.orf.at crisis reports are increasing in numerous member states: bankruptcies, working closures and discharges shape the economic situation in Europe. Financial support from Brussels is urgently needed, since numerous economic framework conditions are no longer negotiated in the national capitals, but centrally in the EU-Agency. Mario Holzner, expert from the Vienna Institute for International Economic Comparative, analyzes the options of the new Commission, which aims at return to economic growth.

social unrest and aid actions in Georgia

In addition to the economic turbulence in Europe, the social unrest in Georgia is another worrying topic. For over a week, tens of thousands of citizens have been protesting against the official departure of the government from a pro-European course. In the middle of these unrest, civil society shows great solidarity with Ukraine by supporting refugees Ukrainians who desperately search for a return to its home country. Many admittedly have used various, often dangerous routes to save themselves from war and are now stranded in Georgia, which further exacerbates the complex situation, as also from oe1.orf.at is reported.

Florence and the fight against mass tourism

in Italy, Florence, a historical cultural metropolis, fights against the negative effects of mass tourism. According to en.wikipedia.org , the tourist flows have become so crowded that even tour guides complain that there are too many visitors. The city has now decided not to allow any more apartments to counteract the overcrowding. However, this measure remains questionable because the resistance of the local population against mass tourism is getting bigger. This endangers the historical heritage of this unique city, while the balance between tourism and quality of life of the residents threatens to tip over.
