French President Emmanuel Macron believes that Europe faces a triple existential risk of survival: military, economic and social. He stressed that without action, the European way of life could quickly collapse.
He stated this in an interview with The Economist.
Macron explained that he made his remarks about the possible death of Europe during a speech at the Sorbonne University, based on the words of the French philosopher Paul Valery after the First World War that we now know that civilization can die.
The French President identified three main risks to the existence of Europe: military and geopolitical risk, economic and technological challenges, and a crisis of democracy or social risk. He noted that recent years have exacerbated these risks, which poses a serious threat.
Macron stressed that Europe must be prepared to defend itself, since it can no longer count on the same protection from the United States of America. He also stressed the importance of developing Europe’s economy and technology to compete with other countries.
“This is a triple existential risk for our Europe: a military and security risk; an economic risk to our prosperity; an existential risk of internal incoherence and the breakdown of the functioning of our democracies.

Olmedo López, former director of the National Unit for Disaster Risk Management (Ungrd), has decided to take advantage of a principle of opportunity and will meet with the Prosecutor’s Office next Tuesday, May 7.

López has already prepared a collaboration matrix that he will present to the authorities, as long as he receives protection.
López’s possible statement will complement the information previously provided by the entity’s former deputy director of Disasters, Sneyder Pinilla, who revealed details about the delivery of money to Name and Calle, starting a chain of bribes that, according to his statements, dates back to October of 2023.

Brutal Murder Of TikTok Star Om Fahad She…
Popular TikToker Om Fahad was murdered in her car in Iraq on Friday, prompting an investigation by the interior ministry.
The TikToker who became a sensation in Iraq was shot outside her home in Baghdad, security officials said.
According to what is known, Om Fahad was shot by an unknown person while the influencer was in her car in the Zayouna area.
The attacker, who arrived at the scene on a motorcycle, allegedly pretended to deliver food before shooting Om Fahad.
Another woman, according to the Al Hurra news agency, was injured during the attack.
An expert task force has since been set up to investigate the circumstances leading to Om Fahad’s murder, according to the interior ministry.
The influencer had become known for light-hearted videos on TikTok, in which she was depicted dancing to Iraqi music and wearing skimpy clothes.
The “hunt” of influencers
She was recently embroiled in a controversy with influencer Dalia Naeem, also known as ‘Iraqi Barbie’, over plastic surgery. She had threatened to reveal her alleged relationship with security officials, according to the BBC.
It was in February 2023 that a court sentenced Om Fahad (real name Ghufran Sawadi) to six months in prison for sharing videos containing obscene speech that undermines modesty and public morality.
We Will Welcome Easter With A Meteor Shower…
Meteor shower
We will welcome Easter with a meteor shower. Earth passes through the tail debris region of Halley’s Comet, reports Space.com.
The stream is known as Eta Aquaridi and is expected to be particularly active this year. Viewing conditions are best from the southern hemisphere, as most meteorites appear to come from the lower part of the constellation Aquarius.
In the southern half of the Earth, they will be able to observe about 60 meteorites per hour. In the Northern Hemisphere, they will be less – between 10 and 20 per hour in more northern areas and 20 to 40 in more southern areas.
Most of them will be lower on the southeastern horizon around 3am local time. Therefore, it is advisable to choose a high place with a spacious view. Of course, a clear sky is also necessary.
Astronomers advise to look mostly for horizontal meteorites. They traditionally have longer and brighter tails and are easier to observe. But they are usually closest to the horizon and run parallel to it. Other meteorites are vertical and may pass across the sky upwards, but they are not as bright.
Eta Aquaridi will continue to be visible for the next few days,
