Catalonia’s Puigdemont, Comin accredited to take up seats in European Parliament

Uncategorized

Catalonia’s Puigdemont, Comin accredited to take up seats in European Parliament Two pro-independence Catalan politicians received accreditation to sit as members of the European Parliament on Friday after the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled that Spain had no right to block them. Former Catalan regional president Carles Puigdemont and his health minister Toni Comin arrived at the parliament in Brussels to collect their badges, AFP said. Puigdemont and Comin were elected to the European Parliament in May, but they were unable to take office because they are living in Belgium and did not attend a Spanish swearing-in ceremony. Madrid has accused them of sedition for their role in helping organizing a banned Catalan independence referendum in 2017. On Thursday, the ECJ ruled...

Turkey’s Erdogan urges Muslim countries to stop trading in ‘foreign currency’ A crusader against the US dollar, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that Muslim countries should switch to trading in their national currencies if they do not want to be hit by trade wars. The financial markets of Muslim nations remain “fragile against shocks and manipulation” unless they have their own “payment systems,” Erdogan said at an Islam-themed conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on Thursday. Trade in national currencies has gained urgency amid talks of trade wars… We should first of all put the issue of Islamic finance as well on our agenda. The Turkish leader also proposed setting up a working group composed of financial experts to craft a “comprehen...

Russian Navy to get carrier for nuclear super-torpedo Poseidon next year – manufacturer The submarine Belgorod, which may be armed with Russia’s much-anticipated nuclear drone Poseidon, will be one of four nuclear-propelled ships which the producer plans to hand over to the Russian military in 2020.

‘Biden impersonating child’s stutter’ fails to join long list of gaffes, as Huckabee Sanders bears brunt of online rage (VIDEO)

‘Biden impersonating child’s stutter’ fails to join long list of gaffes, as Huckabee Sanders bears brunt of online rage (VIDEO) Near the end of Thursday's Democratic debate, frontrunner Joe Biden impersonated a child’s stutter while speaking about people he meets on the campaign, in a move initially seen as a gaffe by some. Rather than the heartfelt moment he had perhaps intended, the mimicry seemingly missed the mark at first and confused both the audience and the online commentariat, rather than winning them over. What is going on with Joe Biden during the final question of the night?#DemDebate pic.twitter.com/pItd9T1edT— Steve Guest (@SteveGuest) December 20, 2019 https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js “My wife and I have a cal...
