“I don’t agree with what the EU is doing to Hungary. We are in the middle of a war that is being waged against the West, we have no interest in dividing Europe, but in consolidating Europe against opponents. At the UN, Hungary did not vote with Russia, but with Europe. Poland is in the front row in the conflict with Russia and accepting refugees from Ukraine, and the EU is taking initiatives and controversies with Poland”.

To say the least, interviewed by Lucia Annunziata half an hour later, on Rai tre, the leader of the Fratelli D’Italia, Giorgia Meloni: Words spoken in the same way as those of the Hungarian government Viktor Orban he implicitly admitted to having made mistakes when he said he wanted to end the political row with the EU by November, which could cost him a €7.5 billion cut in European funds. While Meloni sided with Hungary and opposed Brussels, Hungary itself claimed to want to make some “concessions”, an “agreed” legislative package that included the establishment of an independent anti-corruption agency, procurement reform and other measures to fight corruption.

Meloni: “Sovereignty problems between national and European order”

The President of the Fratelli D’Italia then addressed the issue of the relationship between national and supranational decisions: “The European decision-making bodies are governing bodies, we say that sovereignty belongs to the people and is manifested in parliamentary debate that we must have. to pose with grace, and that doesn’t mean leaving the EU, but making corrections or stating that we recognize Article 11 of the Constitution. It is about better organizing the defense of national interests in a European dynamic”.

In Pontida, Salvini mimics Berlusconi and the ‘contract’ with the Italians: ‘Here are the 6 priorities of the league’

In fact, this Article of the Charter not only states that “Italy rejects war as an instrument of violating the freedoms of other peoples and as a means of settling international disputes”, but also that the country “reaches the limits of sovereignty on equal terms with other States , necessary for an order that will ensure peace and justice among peoples, “while promoting and favoring” international organizations directed to that end”.

Meloni: “I don’t want to touch Law 194”

Meloni also spoke about abortion rights and Law 194: “I never said I wanted to touch the first part of Law 194. When I think about something, I say it: I never said I want to change Law 194, I just want to apply it.” “Given the many rights, I would like to add one thing: to women who feel able to have an abortion because they may not have an alternative due to economic conditions, I would give these alternatives.” The leader of Italy’s centre-right party in our country said: “I don’t understand that it has ever happened that a woman who wanted to terminate her pregnancy could not. Anyone having trouble? But there are also those of people’s conscience, we must also take them into account. , of the conscience of those who do not feel it”.

One summer five years ago, I signed up for an aquagym class at a municipal swimming pool. You know, that exercise they do in the movies to laugh a little at the loss of psychomotor skills in older women. I gulped a lot of water because my companions, tanned and strong, stroked me madly. When class was over, I followed them, dizzy from exhaustion, to the changing rooms, where, with an enviable alacrity, they stripped off their bathing suits and gathered as God brought them into the world. Those women who had already lost the tightness of the waist, had saggy breasts from childbirth and years, located all that fat in the upper body and made themselves look like happy chickens, made cultural and gastronomic plans, they were now smearing cream on their ass , praying in the belly, with energy and skill. I watched modestly from my semi-open box office what was undoubtedly a memorable spectacle, for if it is true that literature and cinema always put the pensive woman in front of a mirror, here, in this scene of the city’s dressing room, the conviviality removed every trace of selfishness or self-pity. It was appreciated that those gathered were seated with their backs to the large mirror, irrefutable proof that they had overcome this phase of observing their own bodies and those of others that life so absurdly embitters us.

I’m seeing the full nude of Emma Thompson in Good Luck Big Leo this week. I see it and read Cristina Fallarás’s column that worries this nudity. I also. What a sensitivity of the director in the presentation. I’m irritated by the hypocrisy of the film industry, which on the one hand pulls the “intimacy coordinator” job out of its sleeve, awkwardly negotiating every shot that requires a naked (basically young) woman to appear, and on the other hand he finds it brave that a 63-year-old Actress with the face “Ladies and gentlemen, this is the worst moment of my life” steps in front of the mirror. And in the case that concerns us, it wasn’t the character that was shown to us, but the actress herself who has always been frightened by the sight of her nudity. We live in such a strange moment regarding the display of the body that we can go from extreme modesty to an outrageous surrender of the most intimate. I can’t understand how it’s liberating to undress in public when it’s not fun.

It is not Thompson’s body that is disturbing, but her face, the face of a woman who is ashamed of her figure

Brave, brave, brave, they cheered her on. I wonder what that courage is for and why it is liberating to cross the barrier of legitimate humility to appear before others in an act of sacrifice. It’s not Thompson’s body that’s troubling, it’s her face, the face of a woman who is ashamed of her aging figure and is trying to gain some kind of recognition for daring to admit her concern. I would like to take her by the hand, take her and others, these young girls tormented by the irrelevant orange peel skin, myself, and they, us, to this women’s changing room at a municipal swimming pool, where a gang of women, brave, horny , happy, uninhibited, without knowing it, ignoring the applause for a heroism they don’t consider, to teach us life’s best lesson: that maybe it’s lucky to reach a certain age while being healthy and Victory overcomes years of apprehension. We may have been taught to ironically comment on milestones and failures in sex life without the matter always reaching elements of victimhood and melodrama.

What can I say about the character in the film? It strikes me that since the lady in the story is only about five years older than me, she’s sad that she’s never enjoyed an orgasm, and if she has, it’s not just clumsiness on the man’s part, it’s incompetence by two or by her alone, because the women of this generation already knew what the fingers of the hand are for. It also seems to me a typically male dream to alleviate sexual frustration by resorting to a prostitute who has mastered the arts of love and is understanding: this is what old male literature called good whores.

Own and sad from this time of extreme display where everything is naked and confessing, even at the expense of showing what we would like to hide. Maybe the only secret to relieving anxiety is looking at yourself in the mirror one damn less, even if it costs us something.

All the culture that suits you awaits you here.

The Princess of Wales has revealed how her sons are coping with the death of their great-grandmother the Queen.

Speaking to Australia’s Governor-General at a reception for Commonwealth dignitaries ahead of today’s Queen’s funeral, Kate explained that four-year-old Louis asks questions and struggles to understand.

Recalling his conversation with Kate, David Hurley said she revealed that their eldest son Prince George, nine, “kind of realizes now how important his great-grandmother was and what’s going on”.

But four-year-old Louis has asked if the family’s summer visit to Balmoral Castle will still be as he remembers them.

“The younger one is now asking questions like, ‘Do you think we can still play those games if we go to Balmoral’ and things like that because she won’t be there?” Mr Hurley said.

Kate spoke to David Hurley at Buckingham Palace on Saturday about how their three children Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 7, and Prince Louis, 4, are coping with the sudden loss of their great-grandmother

But four-year-old Louis has asked if the family’s summer visit to Balmoral Castle will still be as he remembers them

Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Louis during Trooping the Color on June 2, 2022 in London, England

“The younger one is now asking questions like, ‘Do you think we can still play those games if we go to Balmoral and things like that because she won’t be there?'” Mr Hurley said

Prince George and Princess Charlotte will make a surprise appearance at their great-grandmother’s funeral today, walking behind her coffin into Westminster Abbey.

The Chron understands the Prince and Princess of Wales have thought “long and hard” about joining their two eldest children, aged nine and seven.

But after George and Charlotte attended their great-grandfather’s memorial service in March, William and Kate decided they could handle the solemnity of the occasion. Louis, the youngest of the couple, is only four years old and will not be there.

“Obviously, as parents, they have thought long and hard about whether their children should accompany them,” a source said. “Of course little Louis is too young, but they think George and Charlotte are up to it.”

It is understood the children will also be in congregation for the committal service at St George’s Chapel in Windsor this afternoon. It should be decided whether they feel ready to take part in the procession there as well.

George and Charlotte will drive to the Abbey in the car with Kate and Camilla before joining the procession on foot as they enter.

Before today’s state funeral service at 11 a.m., a bell will toll 96 times, reflecting the years of Queen Elizabeth’s life. The service, Buckingham Palace said last night, will pay tribute to the Queen’s distinguished reign and lifelong service as Head of State, Nation and Commonwealth.

It is administered by The Very Reverend Dr. David Hoyle, Dean of Westminster, conducted with hymns such as The Lord’s My Shepherd and Love Divine. Lessons include 1 Corinthians 15 20-26, 53-end and John 14 1-9a, all aspects personally selected by the Queen.

A specially commissioned choral piece, Like As The Hart, composed by Judith Weir, the Mistress of King’s Music, will be sung by the Westminster Abbey Choir. The choir will also sing a short hymn, O Taste And See, composed by Ralph Vaughan Williams for the Queen’s coronation in 1953.

The Archbishop of Canterbury will give a reading while Prime Minister Liz Truss will read the second lesson, with prayers from leading clergy including the Bishop of London and the Archbishop of York.

Tears are sure to flow at The Last Post and Reveille, as well as the first major public performance of the national anthem.

A performance of “Sleep, Dearie, Sleep” performed by the Queen’s bagpiper will be of great importance to her family.

After the service, the bells of Westminster Abbey are rung completely muted, as is the tradition after the sovereign’s funeral. The coffin will then continue on its final journey through London and out to Windsor. The dedication service at St George’s Chapel at 4pm will be smaller and much more personal.

And in the absence of cameras, the royal family will gather at 7:30 p.m. for a private funeral.

Death of Queen Elizabeth II

Celtic supporters’ attitude caused embarrassment on the pitch and on live television. The fans in the other half of Glasgow used the moment of concentration to do something else. Behind her gesture is a very strong political and identity-forming dissent.

Footballers applaud during the commemoration of Queen Elizabeth II, but Celtic fans interpret the gesture in a different and irreverent way.

Death of Queen Elizabeth II

The banner and then an applause that was just a scar. The last thing Celtic fans said to Queen Elizabeth II. The Scottish FA had given each club the choice of whether or not to pay homage to the royal family with a minute’s silence on Her Majesty’s death. But for the Separatist, Catholic and pro-Irish soul of supporters in the other half of Glasgow, the minute’s silence was used to do something else. While sincere condolences were offered in most UK games, including the national anthem before kick-off, something else happened in the game against St Mirren. But this is not new in these parts.

You don’t have to go far in time to get an idea of ​​how the white-green supporters and society itself have weathered the mourning period so far. The club never ceased its activities or started any special initiatives to commemorate the sovereign.

The Celtic supporters banner against the English Real Family.

Completely opposite attitude to the other team in town, the Rangers, whose people at Ibrox Park (as they did in the Champions League game against Napoli) reaffirmed their pro-monarchy position. The chorus, which replaced the cup anthem for one evening, was rousing, although Uefa dropped the official one and only asked for silence.

Who will attend Queen Elizabeth’s funeral: the participating countries and those excluded

“If you hate the royal family too, clap your hands.” The banner, appearing in the hottest sector of supporters, turned this handclapping into a polemical tone and, not happy, shouted slogans against the Queen herself and the royals.

An embarrassing situation in which the broadcasters’ commentators on live TV distance themselves from this attitude, which has been defined as disrespectful. Sky Sports England narrator chosen for the game, Ian Crocker, expressed his regret to viewers: “We apologize if you may have been offended by what we heard. Most people have shown respect, others have not.”

An embarrassing and paradoxical situation for the team, which instead expressed emotional sympathy with applause before the game started. There was no national anthem, after these “standing ovations on the contrary” there was the kick-off.

The Celtic fan banner that appeared during the Champions League game against Shakhtar.

The supporters’ attitude threatens sanctions against Celtic as the Scottish club are in the UEFA spotlight for the anti-monarchy banner hoisted before and during Wednesday night’s game against Shakhtar Donetsk in Warsaw.

Day is dawning in Europe and a 208th day of armed conflict begins in Ukraine following the start of the Russian invasion on February 24, 2022.

Shahed-136 attack drones, the debris of which the Ukrainian authorities claim to have found during their counter-offensive in the east of the country, specifies the New York Times.
