Con @sofiabrei.bsky.social hicimos un experimento para estudiar el apoyo de los ciudadanos a un político que actúa de forma más o menos “corrupta” para reparar el alcantarillado después de una inundación www.eldiario.es/comunitat-va... 🧵 con los resultados

Commission deal struck, centrist agreement confirmed

Quines polítiques d'habitatge vol prioritzar la gent? La regulació dels lloguers "guanya" en tots els emparellaments, i facilitar la construcció d'habitatge és la menys preferida. El consens social és bastant clar.

I'm not really surprised, but still a bit disappointed at how little the European media (except those specialising in EU politics) are covering the commissioner hearings and the current crisis within the EP "grand coalition". This is important stuff that will have a real impact on EU policy-making.

Discussions of urban-rural divides often characterize rural areas as “left behind”. This can mean many things: lack of infrastructure, of media, or political attention. @rgarciadelhorno.bsky.social, @gricoc.bsky.social, @ehernandez.bsky.social study perceptions of being left behind politically 1/6
