The Spanish economy grew by 2.8% in the second quarter, which represents a rebound compared to the fall of the first quarter of four tenths, thanks to the lifting of restrictions to contain the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the advance in national accounting published by the National Institute of Statistics (INE), national demand added 3.6 points to the increase in GDP, mainly due to household consumption, as investment deepened its decline. This contribution offset the negative contribution of 0.8 points from foreign demand (exports and imports). However, the INE explains that for this advance most of the short-term indicators collected are from April and May, so it is expected that the future revision of the data will be of a greater magnitude than usual. In detail, the lifting of restrictions on mobility led to a 6.6% increase in household consumption between April and June. However, investment as a whole sharpened its decline to 1.9%, due to the fall in capital goods and machinery, to 1.7%, and investment in housing and construction, which continued to decline, although it moderated to 2%. Exports rebounded with a slight rise of 0.4%, while imports grew 2.9%, after having fallen 1.3% in the previous quarter. Historical growth In year-on-year rate, the rebound from April to June is historic with almost a 20% increase (19.8) compared to the second quarter of 2020, marked by confinement, the state of alarm and the suspension of all economic activities essential for two weeks. From January to March, the interannual GDP had fallen by 4.2%. In this year-on-year comparison, domestic demand contributed 20.3 points to economic growth, the highest contribution in the historical series, thanks to record growth in household consumption, while external demand subtracted 0.5 points. Growth has been driven by the end in spring of mobility restrictions within Spanish territory, the recovery of tourism and the intense pace of the vaccination campaign. Improve employment Employment, measured in hours worked, increased by 4.4% compared to the previous quarter, while full-time equivalent jobs decreased by 0.2%, due to the rise in hours worked and the increase in the average day. Compared to a year ago, employment grew by 18.9%, representing an increase of 2.82 million full-time equivalent jobs in one year, while hours worked increased by 28.8%, after five quarters of declines. All sectors of activity increased, except agriculture (-1.2%), and the advances in commerce, transport and hospitality (52.1%), the manufacturing industry (31.9%) and artistic and recreational activities stood out. and other services (31.3%). Employment measured in hours worked grew in all economic sectors, with the greatest intensity in construction (44.9%) and services (34.5%). The economic vice president, Nadia Calviño, has ensured that this week's indicators "confirm that a strong economic recovery is underway accompanied by a good rate of job creation." In a video, she is confident that the recovery will be full in 2022 thanks to vaccination and government measures and hopes that the exit from the crisis "will leave no one behind." https://www.rtve.es/noticias/20210730/economia-repunta-segundo-trimestre-avance-del-pib-del-28/2143602.shtml

https://www.rtve.es/noticias/20210730/biden-exige-vacunarse-trabajadores-del-gobierno-ante-auge-casos/2143360.shtml The president of the United States, Joe Biden, announced this Thursday that he will force all the workers of his Government to demonstrate that they are vaccinated if they do not want to undergo regular tests, and he has not ruled out that he may impose a vaccination mandate on the future Nacional level. Biden's announcement, which has also asked the Pentagon to force all the country's military to be vaccinated, coincides with a worrying increase in COVID-19 cases linked to the advance of the delta variant in the United States, which is forcing a reversal to some reopening measures. "We are going to ask all federal government employees to prove their immunization status," Biden said during a speech at the White House. Those who do not provide that test will need to wear a mask to work and be tested for COVID-19 on a weekly or even twice a week basis; in addition to maintaining physical distances and being prohibited, in general, from participating in official trips, the president explained. The measure will apply to the more than four million federal workers in the United States and the rest of the world, and similar standards will be adopted for all Administration contractors, according to the White House. "If you want to do business with the federal government, vaccinate your workers," stressed Biden. The announcement is an attempt by Biden to take full advantage of his authority to push forward the vaccination campaign in the United States, which has slowed markedly in the last two months, with just 49% of the po[CENSORED]tion inoculated with the full guideline. As president, Biden can unilaterally impose a mandate on the workers of his government, but until now, the White House had ensured that it did not legally have the power to do the same to force all Americans to get vaccinated. national Biden himself contradicted his advisers on Thursday and has left the door open to the possibility of finding a way to impose that mandate at the national level. "The question is whether the federal government can order it to the whole country. I still don't know," said the president in response to a journalist's question. For now, the president has indicated that states, localities and businesses do have the power, according to the Justice Department, to impose vaccination mandates in their jurisdictions, saying he "would like" to see that happen more and more. Although the idea of compelling vaccination is highly controversial in a country like the United States, where individual freedom is highly valued, more and more companies are considering the idea. This week, companies like Google, Facebook or Lyft demanded that all workers who return to their offices be vaccinated, and the White House is confident that the mandate for federal employees announced by Biden will inspire more companies to follow that example. It's unclear how many U.S. government workers are already vaccinated, but Biden's announcement has drawn criticism from some sectors of the federal staff, including the postal service employees union and an association of law enforcement and security officers. "An American tragedy" Biden has insisted, however, on the need to take measures like this, given the expansion of the Delta variant, which already represents at least 83% of sequenced cases in the US and has generated a notable increase in infections and hospitalizations. in the last weeks. "This is an American tragedy. People are dying who should not have to die, and they will continue to die," the president lamented. The president has also asked the Pentagon to examine "how and when they will add the vaccine against COVID-19 to the list of those required" for members of the US Armed Forces, the White House explained in a statement. More than 70% of the US military are already fully vaccinated, according to Pentagon data, a much higher proportion than the 49% of the general US po[CENSORED]tion who have received the full guideline. $ 100 to get vaccinated In addition, Biden has proposed that states, territories and localities offer a reward of $ 100 to those who get vaccinated, taking advantage of the funds contained in the rescue package approved by the Government. An initiative that, for example, the city of New York already adopted this Wednesday, which will give the hundred dollars in cash to any resident who goes to a municipal center to get the first dose of the vaccine. "If the incentives help us to defeat this virus, I think we should use them," said the president, ensuring that the type of programs that states and companies have launched "are working."

Tomorrow the largest public employment offer (OPE) in history will arrive at the Council of Ministers. This is what government sources assure this newspaper. The Government will approve by royal decree to remove 23,491 places for the General State Administration (9,509 for internal promotion); adding the positions, already approved, for the State Security Forces and Forces and the Armed Forces, the final figure for 2021 is 30,445 places, as 'El País' has advanced and ABC has confirmed by sources from the Ministry of Public Function. Since the arrival of Pedro Sánchez, the Executive has undertaken a considerable increase in PEOs. In fact, the number of public employees (not only civil servants, but also temporary, labor ...) amounts, according to the latest official statistics, to more than 2.7 million, which is 112,700 more people than a year ago. It adds up and goes on, although in the latter case it is due to the needs of the pandemic and most of this rise is in territorial administrations. In 2020, the job offer, in total, was 28,055 places, of which 20,658 were for the General State Administration and the rest for the State Security Forces and Forces and the Armed Forces. A notable increase year-on-year, although the upward trend already began in 2018 with the arrival of Sánchez to La Moncloa. A few days ago, the Public Function sent the unions an OPE of 11,715 open access positions and 8,982 of internal promotion. CSIF, the majority in the Administration, responded that the figures were not enough to reduce the loss of personnel in recent years, "which is around 22%, or to face the retirements that are going to take place." In this sense, the union recalls that until 2030 it is estimated that 56.30% of the workforce will retire. From CSIF they show their anger to find out from the media about the job offer that the Government will carry out, after the last contacts did not bear fruit. The union still finds this figure insufficient and they demand the launch of a multi-year PEO and that the replacement fee be ended. This past Friday, the Government's negotiations with the unions ended without an agreement after the last number presented and since then they have not received any calls, say CSIF sources, waiting to know first-hand the details of what will go to the Council of Ministers The final amount that the Government will approve is higher than that presented to the unions and is aimed at trying to reduce the temporary work in the Administration, which is around 30% and the objective is to remain at 8%; a commitment, that of a limit to temporality, also acquired with Brussels in view of the arrival of European funds. Likewise, this year's OPE will be quite focused on enhancing the recruitment of talent in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, the so-called STEM, according to 'El País'. Thus, for these subjects there will be slightly less than 3,000 places. In this hedge of precariousness in the public sector, it is also framed that the Executive has carried out - not with few efforts in Congress, making cessions - a massive process of oppositions for interns that is expected to affect 300,000 public workers, although the unions talk that there are more like 800,000 interns in fraud of law. https://www.abc.es/economia/abci-gobierno-aprobara-manana-oferta-empleo-publico-23500-plazas-mayor-historia-202107261029_noticia.html

https://www.rtve.es/noticias/20210726/tunez-inestabilidad-pandemia-golpe-estado-crisis-constitucional/2139382.shtml The decision of the Tunisian president, Kais Said, to dissolve the Parliament and dismiss the Prime Minister, Hichem Mechichi, on Sunday night is a clear "coup" for the main political parties of the country, which this Monday are demanding the continuity of the assembly. "This is a blow against Tunisian democracy and its Constitution. Tunisia is the only success story of the Arab Spring and this story does not end here," underlines the statement released by Ennahda, the main parliamentary force and partner of the Government, after the announcement that Said did after 9 at night. This formation shared a video on social networks that shows how the Army prevented several deputies from entering Parliament at around two in the morning, including the speaker of the chamber and leader of the Islamist party, Rached Ghannouchi. For his part, the leader of the Islamist Coalition Al Karama, has called the initiative illegal and has asked the deputies to resume their post as of Tuesday to carry out the removal of the president. Before the president's decision was known, several regional headquarters of Ennahda had been attacked and set on fire throughout Sunday in the different demonstrations that took place throughout the country to demand the resignation of the Government and the dissolution of Parliament for its management of the coronavirus crisis and deteriorating living conditions. Thousands of citizens later returned to the streets to celebrate the announcement that Said adopted at the end of an urgent meeting with senior officials from the army and security forces. In addition to dismissing the head of government and suspending Parliament for 30 days, the Tunisian president has immediately withdrawn the parliamentary immunity of all deputies "to restore social peace and save the state and society." Despite the curfew and the restrictions of the health crisis that prohibit all kinds of public demonstrations, the capital has experienced a festive atmosphere in which thousands of cars and passers-by celebrated the news before the eyes of the security forces until the wee hours of the night. It has also decreed the dismissal of the acting ministers of Defense and Justice, Ibrahim Bartaji and Hasna Ben Slimane respectively. After this decision, the portfolios will be directed by the general secretaries or those in charge of administrative and financial affairs of the corresponding departments until the appointment of a new Prime Minister and the formation of a Government team. Closure of airspace and maritime borders According to the local press, the authorities have decreed, starting this Monday at midnight, the closure of airspace and maritime borders for an unlimited duration. In addition, Army units were deployed around Parliament, the Government headquarters and other institutional buildings. The website "Tunisie Numérique" also revealed that the courts have adopted precautionary measures to prohibit leaving the national territory against the President of Parliament, as well as his 64 deputies. Kais Said has assured that he will assume the Presidency of the Executive with the help of a new prime minister, whom he will appoint, during the transition period. He has also defended the application of Article 80 of the Constitution, which states that, in the event of "imminent danger", the President can take "exceptional" measures after consulting with the Head of Government and the President of Parliament. The objective, he has said, is to guarantee a regular functioning of public power "as soon as possible" while the Constitutional Court - pending creation since 2015 - must supervise this process and decide on its extension. On the other hand, a presidential order has prohibited the gathering of more than three people on public roads and the movement of people and vehicles between cities outside the hours of the curfew, except to satisfy basic needs or for urgent health reasons. Since the beginning of the year, the Maghreb country has experienced an institutional blockade after the Parliament supported the reshuffle of the Executive and the president refused to accept it, considering that he was not previously consulted and due to the suspicions of conflicts of interest that they plan about some of the new members. To this is added the economic crisis that has dragged the country in recent years, aggravated by the epidemic, which has forced the Tunisian government to ask the international community for help due to the lack of vaccines and medical equipment to face the fourth wave of the coronavirus pandemic, which has already caused a total of more than half a million cases and 18,600 victims.

The ECB has lifted the veto on the distribution of dividends from the bank, which will be able to return to remunerate its shareholders from October 1. The body led by Christine Lagarde relies on the improvement of the macroeconomic environment to make this decision, which the president of the Supervisory Board, Andrea Enria, had already advanced weeks ago. "The latest macroeconomic projections confirm the economic rebound and indicate reduced uncertainty, which is improving confidence in banks' capital trajectories," explains the European banking supervisor. Thus, on October 1, a ban that has been in force since the end of March 2020 will end. It is not the first time that the ECB has opened its hand on this matter. Already last December it allowed banks to distribute a maximum of 15% of their profit only if they do not exceed the ratio of maximum quality capital over risk-weighted assets by 20 basis points. Now, the end of the veto is final, although industry experts point out that it was at least controversial. “The ECB's decision not to allow banks to pay dividends to their shareholders was a measure with little sense in a competitive market, in which investors who seek to optimize their investment as much as possible have found themselves with a penalty and those who have wanted to invest in bank shares they have been able to see in that decision a dissuasive barrier whose reason they have not understood ”, explained to ABC Carlos Balado, professor at OBS Business School and director of Eurocofin. Of course, the end of these restrictions does not mean that entities have absolute freedom to distribute dividends. Despite the improvement in macroeconomic forecasts, the supervisor understands that the health crisis has not ended. In his statement, the ECB says it will continue to closely monitor companies to determine whether or not they are remunerating their shareholders. The ECB states that "banks must remain prudent in deciding their policies on dividend distribution and share buybacks." To do this, it asks "to carefully monitor the sustainability of its business model" and to adopt "prudent and forward-looking" measures. In addition, it recommends that entities "do not underestimate the risk that additional losses may have later in capital" when the credit support measures end. Balado still maintains that the veto was “perhaps a hasty or little studied measure, because the ECB has asked and asks the banks to reinforce themselves with capital, but they have limited this possibility by preventing that capital from being paid. The reason was based on the fact that, by not distributing dividends, more funds were available to face the crisis. But he points out that two issues were left. One, that banks were discriminated against with respect to other sectors; and two, that individuals who buy shares as a form of savings were harmed and the dividend "is income for them." Although this measure only affects entities directly supervised by the ECB, the body also says that national supervisory authorities - in the case of Spain, the Bank of Spain - will soon adopt similar measures for the banks under their supervision. https://www.abc.es/economia/abci-anuncia-veto-dividendos-banca-202107231851_noticia.html

https://www.eltiempo.com/mundo/latinoamerica/presidente-de-haiti-sepultan-al-asesinado-jovenel-moise-605246 The president of Haiti, Jovenel Moïse, assassinated on July 7 by an armed group in his private residence in Port-au-Prince, was buried this Friday in his hometown, Cap-Haitien, in the north of the impoverished country. The burial took place after a mass and ceremony in the gardens of the Habitation Village SOS, the private residence of the Moïse family on the outskirts of Cap-Haitien, attended by the first lady, Martine Moise, who was injured in the attack, the children of the couple, the prime minister, Ariel Henry, officials, relatives and supporters of Jovenel Moïse. The remains of the ruler were buried in the family pantheon. His coffin, covered by the national flag and the presidential sash, was displayed in a flower-adorned esplanade. The remains were guarded by soldiers of the Armed Forces of Haiti. The city of the Northern Department of Haiti was relatively calm in the morning, after a day of tensions on Thursday, and the police were generously deployed in the streets. The president was shot dead at his residence in Port-au-Prince in the early morning of July 7, in an attack by an armed commando made up of ex-Colombian military personnel that entered the presidential home without encountering resistance from the guards, who should have protected the life of the president. The president's widow, Martine, who was seriously injured in the night attack, arrived at the wake in rigorous black, in the middle of a security device, to the ceremony that was also attended by her children, the prime minister, Ariel Henry, and officials. of the government. By intervening in the civil ceremony, she Martine called for justice for the assassinated president, whom she, she assured, "was abandoned and betrayed." "You were brutally murdered. He has conspired against you. They hated you, they threw poison at you," she said, visibly upset. She stated that "the birds of prey" that killed her husband on July 7 "are still running through the streets. They are not even hiding. They are there watching us and listening to us." Moise received twelve bullet wounds during the attack that killed her on Wednesday, according to the justice of the peace in charge of the forensic report. Representatives of foreign delegations, the diplomatic corps and members of the government took turns offering their condolences to her family, in an open funeral that could be seen by the mourners from large screens displayed around. US President Joe Biden sent a high-level delegation to the funeral, including his ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, and his new special envoy for Haiti, Daniel Foote. So far, 26 people have been arrested, including 18 Colombians, mostly retired military personnel, as well as 2 Haitian policemen and 6 civilians, some of them with dual US citizenship. Among those arrested is Christian Emmanuel Sanon, a Haitian doctor living in the United States who, according to Haitian authorities, is the mastermind of the operation that killed Moise. Three other Colombians died in shootings with the Haitian Police that took place in the two days after the crime. At least 10 suspects are at large, including 5 Colombians and 5 other Haitians, the latter accused of participating in the planning.
