Behind most card payments in Europe stand two American giants, Visa and Mastercard – a dependence recently thrust into the spotlight. After issuing an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, several judges at the International Criminal Court were sanctioned by Washington, leaving them unable to use their bank cards – even on European soil.

Sadly you have to. But it should be standard practice to give as little as possible.

Welcome, I hope you're having a good time.

Well done Hungary. Very happy for you. I'll come visit once the world calms down a bit.

 

I just wanted to say best of luck to the Hungarian people in their election today. May you have a fair and safe election that delivers the will of the majority of the people of Hungary.

I know what I hope for, I hope you get what you want.

 

European capitals are trying to entice US researchers and skilled workers with lucrative incentives and streamlined visas

 

Sweden's renown for innovation and producing major startup companies is the envy of the rest of the continent. So what is the secret to their success? And what lessons could the rest of Europe learn about investment and financial education?

I read that as a bit of a "fun fact".

Why do people vote down good articles from good sources? The downvote isn't a disagree button.

Good links for those who don't want to read Politico, thanks.

A very constructive way to get people away from that site imho. Perhaps next time similar links will be in the Europe feed so I don't happen to stumble into Axel Springer media again. ;-)

The self awareness of a potato, that one.

It's Valencia.

Not quite true though. The other liberal party (C) left the right wing block in power, that they previously supported, just because they refused to work with the ex-nazi party. They did the exact opposite from what you described. So there's that.

[–] CAVOK@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yeah, but at least it's clear who not to vote for now. Even the Liberal Party wants to work with the nazis now, which is mad considering they are ideological opponents.

The ELI5 I needed. Thanks a bunch.

Not American so I don't quite get how it works. Do you need to be affiliated with a party to vote? What does "...participated in a party's primary election..." mean?
