KATA PEMRED #32PinterPolitik.com“Kuasa terpenting abad ini bukan kemampuan menutup pintu,melainkan kemampuan melihat lebih dahulu daripada siapa pun.”Di Kalimantan Timur, pelabuhan-pelabuhan batu bara tahu sebuah tanggal: 1 Juni 2026. Apa yang akan datang pada hari itu bukan tarif, bukan blokade. Sebuah jendela. Dan di jendela itu, sepasang mata.Pada 20 Mei 2026, Presiden Prabowo menerbitkan Peraturan Pemerintah tentang Tata Kelola Ekspor Komoditas Sumber Daya Alam. Seluruh penjualan batu bara, minyak sawit mentah, dan paduan besi kini wajib melewati satu pintu: PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia, sebuah badan usaha milik negara yang lahir dari rahim Badan Pengelola Investasi Danantara, ditugaskan menjadi tangan yang menempel di komoditas. Tiga komoditas itu bernilai US$65 miliar setahun, hampir 23% dari ekspor barang nasional. Bursa membacanya dengan satu kata yang penuh curiga. Indeks gabungan merosot 3,46% pada hari rumor itu beredar, dan satu istilah berdengung di ruang dagang: monopoli.

'Saint Patrick was Bishop of Prusa, a city in Bythinia (the present-day Brusa or Bursa). Because of his Christian faith, he was brought before Julius (or Julian) the Consul, who in his attempts to persuade Patrick to worship as he himself did, declared that thanks was owed to the gods for providing the hot springs welling up from the earth for the benefit of men. Saint Patrick answered that thanks for this was owed to our Lord Jesus Christ, and explained that when He, Who is God, created the earth, He made it with both fire and water, and the fire under the earth heats the water which wells up, producing hot springs; he then explained that there is another fire, which awaits the ungodly. Because of this, he was cast into the hot springs, but it was the soldiers who cast him in, and not he, who were harmed by the hot water. After this St Patrick was beheaded with the presbyters Acacius, Menander, and Polyaenus. Most likely this was during the reign of Diocletian (284-305).' (Great Horologion)

De data asta miza e de mii de miliarde, iar realitatea e că valoarea valutelor s-a topit în timp, motiv pentru care băncile centrale, în frunte cu China, cumpără aur masiv ca să nu mai fie dependente de dolar. Salutare, prieteni, dați-mi câteva minute pentru că în România cultura aurului de investiții e încă la început, deși vorbim despre un activ care îți păstrează puterea de cumpărare exact ca acum un secol. Stai că vine partea bună: lingourile și monedele de investiție sunt scutite de TVA, deci poți parca banii acolo fără să pierzi din start procente grele către stat. Nu există un moment perfect de intrare, dar într-o lume cu tensiuni geopolitice și sisteme informatice care pot pica, aurul e singura monedă de schimb care nu are nevoie de curent. Știți care e faza? Am văzut oameni care cumpără și câte 10-15 kilograme odată, un milion de euro „la pachet”, pentru că la finalul zilei aurul e colateralul suprem. Numai că, dacă te decizi să intri, nu te arunca emoțional la primul impuls de la televizor; divizează-ți portofoliul și ia și piese mici ca să nu fii obligat să vinzi un lingou mare pentru o nevoie măruntă. Rectific, nu e vorba de îmbogățire rapidă, ci de asigurarea că generația copiilor noștri o să mai aibă pe ce pune mâna într-o criză majoră. IGDLCC înseamnă Informații Gratis despre Lucruri care Costă! Totul ne costă dar mai ales timpul așa că am făcut această serie pentru a mă informa și educa alături de invitați din domeniile mele de interes. Te invit alături de mine în această călătorie. Mi-am propus să mă facă mai informat și mai adaptat la schimbările care vin. Sper să o facă și pentru tine.

Doi investitori străini vor să preia Șantierul Naval Mangalia, aflat în faliment. Dar, în zona politică există deja un accentuat curent de naționalism economic. Vor fi acceptate cele două companii care vor să investească în șantierul din Mangalia? Într-un climat politic anti-privatizare, la începutul acestei săptămâni, a apărut o ofertă surpriză. Un argument esențial al demiterii guvernului, inclus în moțiunea de cenzură votată în Parlament, a fost acela al vânzării unor companii strategice. Guvernul Bolojan a fost acuzat că dorește vânzarea unor pachete de acțiuni la o serie de companii de stat, inclusiv printr-o metodă numită de vânzare accelerată. De altfel, în ultima perioadă se manifestă un adevărat curent politic „patriotic”: politicieni de la PSD și AUR au criticat dur ideea de vânzare de participații la companiile de stat. Nu mai este vorba despre refuzul privatizării, ci chiar despre respingerea vânzării unor pachete minoritare de acțiuni care ar permite totuși ca statul să păstreze controlul în companii. Dintr-odată există un curent transpartinic care refuză orice listare la Bursă a unei companii de stat sau suplimentarea pachetului de acțiuni în cazul unor firme deja cotate la Bursa de Valori București. Acest mod de gândire este întărit de faptul că un grup de parlamentari PSD, susținut la vot de AUR, a inițiat un proiect de lege care a fost votat în Senatul României și prin care se interzice vânzarea de acțiuni la companiile de stat care au profit. Legea urmează să meargă la Camera Deputaților pentru a fi votată. Viziunea anti-privatizare este însoțită de o altă marotă și anume aceea a companiilor strategice. Orice companie mică sau mare, cu pierderi sau cu datorii, indiferent de domeniu, este etichetată ca strategică. Astfel, se ajunge ca în moțiunea de cenzură Loteria Română, Poșta Română, CEC Bank sau Tarom să fie considerate fără niciun argument solid ca fiind strategice. De altfel, pe motiv că sunt strategice multe companii de stat pot primi subvenții nelimitate, pot înregistra pierderi sau pot acumula datorii imense fără să fie deranjate cu vreun proces de restructurare sau privatizare. În acest context, la începutul acestei săptămâni, companiile Rheinmetall și MSC au anunțat printr-un comunicat că sunt interesate să preia Șantierul Naval Mangalia. Anunțul vine într-un moment în care Rheinmetall și compania din Mangalia sunt în centrul atenției publice, din motive diferite. Pe de o parte, compania germană Rheinmetall este acuzată ca fiind principala beneficiară a programului european SAFE derulat de România. Pe de altă parte, Șantierul Naval Mangalia este deja în faliment. Povestea acestui șantier este veche: a schimbat mai mulți proprietari, iar acum se pune problema preluării companiei de către stat. De asemenea, aproape 2.000 de angajați ar trebui să fie concediați în această vară, conform documentelor înaintate de compania Damen, actualul proprietar, către instituțiile competente din județ. De fapt, dificultățile financiare au apărut la Șantierul Naval Mangalia de fiecare dată când compania a rămas fără obiectul muncii. Acum, există comenzi. Prin programul SAFE, România vrea să cumpere de la Rheinmetall patru nave, pe care compania germană își propune să le construiască la Mangalia. Drept urmare, Rheinmetall și-a făcut un calcul simplu și anume este eficient să cumpere și să investească în Șantierul Naval Mangalia, aflat în faliment, să găsească un partener, compania elvețiană MSC, și să construiască în România atât nave militare, cât și civile. Vom vedea, în curând, ce va face următorul guvern care va avea probabil o fibră dezvoltată de naționalism economic. Adică, va lăsa Șantierul Naval Mangalia să falimenteze și să concedieze angajații? Sau își va călca pe mândria națională și va accepta salvarea companiei prin preluarea ei de către doi investitori străini? Este un caz important în care realitatea economiei se lovește de discursul populist. Să vedem ce va alege viitorul guvern.

Tu ai o strategie pentru cum folosești banii pe care îi ai acum ca să îți ușurezi viața în viitor? Pe mine subiectul ăsta mă interesează de câțiva ani.

Indeks Harga Saham Gabungan (IHSG) jatuh 0,69% pada penutupan pasar hari Rabu, turun ke angka 7.389. Hari ini, IHSG diprediksi akan kembali melemah.

Kenaikan harga minyak mentah dunia berdampak signifikan pada bursa saham, terutama pada sektor energi dan transportasi. Perusahaan energi seperti ExxonMobil dan Chevron berpotensi mendapatkan keuntungan dari kenaikan harga minyak, sehingga harga saham mereka naik. Sebaliknya, sektor transportasi dan logistik mungkin mengalami tekanan karena biaya operasional yang meningkat.

Mekanisme bursa karbon dan pajak emisi merupakan dua instrumen nilai ekonomi karbon yang dirancang untuk menekan pelepasan gas rumah kaca ke atmosfer dengan cara memberikan harga pada setiap unit emisi yang dihasilkan. Bursa karbon beroperasi melalui sistem cap and trade, di mana pemerintah menetapkan batas atas (cap) emisi bagi sektor tertentu dan menerbitkan izin atau kuota emisi. Di sisi lain, pajak emisi atau pajak karbon adalah pungutan langsung yang dikenakan atas kandungan karbon atau jumlah emisi yang dilepaskan. Kedua instrumen ini bertujuan untuk menginternalisasi biaya kerusakan lingkungan ke dalam biaya produksi, sehingga pelaku usaha terdorong untuk beralih ke teknologi yang lebih ramah lingkungan. Dalam operasional bursa karbon, perusahaan yang berhasil menekan emisinya di bawah batas yang ditentukan akan memiliki kelebihan kuota yang dapat dijual kepada perusahaan lain yang emisinya melampaui batas. Proses perdagangan ini menciptakan harga pasar bagi karbon dan memberikan insentif finansial bagi perusahaan yang lebih efisien dan inovatif dalam penggunaan energi. Sebaliknya, bagi perusahaan yang memiliki emisi tinggi dan tidak melakukan mitigasi, mereka akan menghadapi beban biaya tambahan dengan membeli kredit karbon dari pasar atau dari proyek-proyek penyerapan karbon seperti reboisasi hutan. Hal ini memastikan bahwa secara kolektif, total emisi nasional tetap terjaga dalam batas yang telah ditetapkan. Sementara itu, pajak emisi berfungsi sebagai instrumen pelengkap atau alternatif yang memberikan kepastian harga bagi setiap unit polusi yang dihasilkan. Di Indonesia, sistem ini sering dipadukan menjadi mekanisme cap and tax, di mana pajak dikenakan jika suatu entitas gagal memenuhi kewajiban batas emisinya melalui bursa karbon. Pendapatan yang dihimpun dari pajak karbon ini dapat dialokasikan kembali oleh negara untuk mendanai investasi hijau, pengembangan energi terbarukan, serta program adaptasi perubahan iklim bagi masyarakat yang terdampak. Melalui sinergi antara perdagangan dan perpajakan karbon ini, diharapkan tercipta transisi ekonomi yang berkelanjutan tanpa mengorbankan pertumbuhan industri secara keseluruhan.

Mărturia unui procuror DNA despre cum a ajuns „DNA la noncombat”: „Nu mai suntem lăsați să lucrăm cu cel mai competent corp polițienesc din MAI” / Un ofițer din MAI confirmă (HotNews) - Justiția, ruptă în două. Cine sunt semnatarii listei de susținere a magistraților din reportajul Recorder și cine sunt marii absenți (Adevărul) - cu Diana Buzoianu: Nu m-am născut ministru. Pot să plec mâine liniștită și să lucrez în domeniul privat (SpotMedia) - Un profesor de economie demontează mitul majorării salariului minim: „O să avem oameni care vor fi lăsați pe străzi” (Adevărul) - Ce a fost în 2025, ce am previzionat şi ce a ieşit (Ziarul Financiar) Judecătoarea Raluca Moroșanu: „Dacă nu se schimbă ceva acum, nu se va mai schimba niciodată” (Recorder) „După ce am văzut documentarul Recorder, în care judecătorul Laurențiu Beșu a apărut cu fața, mi-am zis că este sub demnitatea mea să-l las pe acest om singur”. Acesta a fost unul dintre gândurile Ralucăi Moroșanu înainte de a înfrunta conducerea Curții de Apel București chiar în conferința de presă pe care aceștia au organizat-o. „Consider că este de datoria mea să le răspund oamenilor care au ieșit în stradă și care bănuiesc că așteaptă mai mult de la mine decât ce-am spus în conferința de presă”, spune judecătoarea Moroșanu. În acest interviu – prima apariție publică după celebra conferința de presă – Raluca Moroșanu vorbește despre situația dramatică din Justiție și dezvăluie lucruri incredibile din interiorul uneia dintre cele mai importante instanțe din România. Mărturia unui procuror DNA despre cum a ajuns „DNA la noncombat”: „Nu mai suntem lăsați să lucrăm cu cel mai competent corp polițienesc din MAI” / Un ofițer din MAI confirmă (HotNews) Un procuror DNA oferă publicului, într-o discuție cu HotNews, un exemplu concret despre cum fost slăbită premeditat, susține el, forța investigativă a structurii de elită a Parchetelor din România. „Toate lucrurile semnalate în investigația Recorder noi le știam, acum le știu și alții. O să descriu și o altă metodă”, a spus procurorul DNA, care a acceptat dialogul sub rezerva protejării identității, avînd în vedere statutul său de magistrat în activitate. Procurorii investighează cazurile nu singuri, ci coordonând polițiști judiciari. „De peste un deceniu, cu zeci de milioane de euro și cu instruire sprijinită de țări din UE s-au construit în MAI structuri polițienești de investigație care au cooperat cu DNA. Dintr-o dată, relația s-a întrerupt, prin hotărârea ÎCCJ”, a explicat pentru HotNews un ofițer din MAI, în completarea a ceea ce spune procurorul DNA.  Dacă tai cooperarea cu forța de elită a poliției române și cauți polițiști la IPJ-uri, atunci automat forța de cercetare a DNA scade, iar asta a fost făcută intenționat, la nivel înalt și coordonat, afirmă și procurorul din DNA. Justiția, ruptă în două. Cine sunt semnatarii listei de susținere a magistraților din reportajul Recorder și cine sunt marii absenți (Adevărul) Reportajul Recorder, în care mai mulți magistrați denunță ceea ce ei consideră încălcări grave ale libertății judecătorilor și în urma căruia se cere schimbarea șefilor din Justiție, i-a împărțit pe magistrați.  Printre cei 811 de semnatari se află 49 de judecători pensionari și 43 de procurori pensionari. Ceilalți sunt magistrați activi, procurori și judecători. Adevărul scrie că printre semnatari sunt și magistrați controversați, acuzați de-a lungul anilor că ar fi încălcat la rândul lor principiile Justiției. Pe listă nu se află fostul adjunct al Laurei Codruța Kovesi, Marius Iacob. De asemenea, de pe listă lipsește numele lui Daniel Morar, fost șef al DNA. Nici Gabriela Scutea, fost procuror general, nu a aderat la lista magistraților activiști, la fel cum nici Laura Oprean, și ea fost procuror general și fost adjunct al lui Morar nu a găsit necesar să se implice. Un alt nume cunoscut care lipsește este cel al lui Lucian Papici, fost procuror DNA, șef de secție cu dosare importante pe vremea lui Daniel Morar. Diana Buzoianu: Nu m-am născut ministru. Pot să plec mâine liniștită și să lucrez în domeniul privat (SpotMedia) Criza apei din județul Prahova a fost folosită de PSD și AUR pentru a-l destabiliza pe ministrul Mediului, numit de USR, cerându-i-se, public, demisia și depunându-se în Parlament o moțiune simplă la adresa sa.  E avocat, deputat USR, are 31 de ani și a intrat în politică din cauza Ordonanței 13, impusă de Liviu Dragnea în 2017, pentru a scăpa de condamnările pentru corupție.  În actuala coaliție de guvernare a fost nominalizată de partidul din care face parte pentru poziția de ministru al Mediului.  La scurt timp după numire, măsurile de reformă inițiate de ea s-au lovit de interesele PSD, care dorea să-și păstreze oamenii și controlul asupra unor regii și companii publice, aflate în subordinea ministerului. Vedeți interviul pe pagina SpotMedia. Un profesor de economie demontează mitul majorării salariului minim: „O să avem oameni care vor fi lăsați pe străzi” (Adevărul) Presiunile sindicale pentru o nouă majorare a salariului minim brut, de la 4.050 lei la 4.350 lei, readuc în discuție fragilitatea echilibrului economic din România.  Sindicatele solicită o creștere de 300 de lei a salariului brut, o măsură care, la prima vedere, pare să vină în sprijinul puterii de cumpărare. Totuși, profesorul de economie Cristian Păun avertizează că măsura riscă să se transforme într-un bumerang pentru mediul privat și pentru angajații vulnerabili. El explică mecanismul fiscal prin care statul câștigă practic jumătate din orice majorare. Pe larg în ziar. Ce a fost în 2025, ce am previzionat şi ce a ieşit (Nicuşor Dan preşedinte a fost o surpriză): în ciuda tensiunilor politice şi economice, anul 2025 îl închidem într-un mod destul de rezonabil, fără crize majore, mult mai bine decât ne-am temut că va fi şi fără prea mari pierderi. Bursa a fost surpriza pozitivă din acest an (Ziarul Financiar) Anul 2025 l-am început cu foarte multe semne de întrebare din punct de vedere politic, economic, financiar şi social, după finalul stupefiant din 2024, cu apariţia de nicăieri a lui Călin Georgescu şi anularea alegerilor prezidenţiale. Unele întrebări sunt în vigoare şi acum, dar dacă acum tragem linie, poate nu a fost un an chiar aşa de rău. De bine, de rău, nu  ne-am confruntam cu vreo criză majoră care să dea România peste cap, avem un preşedinte nou, Nicuşor Dan, pro-european, avem un guvern nou Bolojan pro-european, avem o coaliţe politică pro-europeană care merge înainte, în ciuda retoricii de rupere a coaliţiei afişată în fiecare zi. Deşi a fost confruntată cu multe semne de întrebare, mai ales după creşterea taxelor- TVA-ul a crescut de la 19 la 21%, economia nu a intrat în criză, reuşeşte să se menţină la suprafaţă în ciuda scăderii consumului şi chiar sunt şanse bune de a închide anul cu o creştere economică de peste 1%, scrie jurnalistul Cristian Hostiuc, director editorial ZF.  

John Jung and Wendy Dupley discuss the critical and common elements of community intelligence, using two Top7 Communities of 2025: Bursa Metropolitan Municipality (Türkiye) and Hilliard, Ohio (USA) as examples.

Reprezentanții a două mari bănci de investiții americane au tras un semnal de alarmă. Prezenți la un eveniment al liderilor financiari din întreaga lume, desfășurat la Hong Kong, directorii generali ai Morgan Stanley și Goldman Sachs au avertizat asupra posibilității ca piețele bursiere să înregistreze o scădere. Motivul ar fi acela al unei supraevaluări a domeniului tehnologic. Directorul Morgan Stanley a spus chiar că o scădere a prețurilor cu 10% sau 15% ar fi o corecție moderată și binevenită chiar, după ce indicii bursieri înregistrează maxime istorice. De altfel, o scădere a prețului acțiunilor este considerată chiar benefică însemnând o revenire la niveluri mai sustenabile. Nu este prima dată când analiștii atrag atenția asupra sectorului tehnologic. Cel mai des s-a făcut comparația între momentul de astăzi și bula „dot com” din anii 2000, atunci când companiile legate de internet s-au devalorizat puternic. David Solomon, CEO al Goldman Sachs, vorbește despre ciclurile de creștere, despre schimbarea traiectoriei și despre faptul că niciunul dintre bancherii de pe Wall Street nu poate vedea momentul scăderii până nu se întâmplă. În același timp, trebuie spus că recomandările sau opiniile liderilor din sectorul financiar au influențat piața, în sensul că a fost suficient ca bancherii de investiții să afirme, după o analiză a indicatorilor economici ai unei companii, că acțiunile nu sunt recomandate pentru cumpărare pentru ca prețul să scadă. Deci, în multe cazuri, prognozele managerilor de pe Wall Street ajung să fie profeții auto-împlinite. Piața americană de capital are și un așa-numit indicator al fricii care a urcat la un nivel maxim, în timp ce indicii bursieri au scăzut ușor. Bancherii văd că multiplii de evaluare ai companiilor de tehnologie (indicatori pe baza cărora se calculează valoarea unei firme) sunt întinși puternic. Este un sector supraîncălzit despre care analiștii financiari cred că se va corecta, adică prețul acțiunilor va scădea. Cu cât prețul acțiunilor companiilor de tehnologie crește, cu cât entuziasmul pentru inteligența artificială este mai mare, cu atât crește îngrijorarea în rândul directorilor din finanțele americane. În octombrie a.c., Jamie Dimon, șeful J.P. Morgan a avertizat asupra riscului unei corecții semnificative a prețurilor pe Bursa de la New York în următorii doi ani. Există multe zone de incertitudine la nivel mondial, precum tensiunile geopolitice, cheltuielile guvernamentale, deficitul, gradul de îndatorare al SUA, dar și noul val de remilitarizare la nivel global. Evident, cu această ocazie apar și o serie de specialiști care de-a lungul timpului au prezis diverse crize, precum cea financiară din anul 2008. Entuziasmul pentru inteligența artificială generativă a alimentat creșterea unor companii implicate în această industrie, precum Nvidia sau Microsoft. De exemplu, Nvidia a ajuns la o valoare de piață amețitoare, de 5.000 de miliarde de dolari. De asemenea, sunt analize care arată că nivelul cheltuielilor cu infrastructura legată de inteligența artificială va crește în următorii ani până la 2.800 miliarde de dolari. Recent, Open AI și Amazon au semnat un acord pe șapte ani pentru servicii de cloud în valoare de 38 miliarde de dolari. Ce ne arată aceste cifre? Că există o frenezie a finanțărilor pentru companii care au legătură cu noile tehnologii, fie că este vorba despre inteligență artificială, infrastructură tehnologică, microprocesoare sau cloud. Sunt investiții enorme care se vor derula în următorii ani. Întrebarea este: există riscul spargerii bulei companiilor de tehnologie? Părerile sunt împărțite, dar analiștii financiari observă că spre deosebire de anii 2000, companiile au profituri solide și operațiuni comerciale profitabile. Ceea ce le pune la adăpost de crize majore.

Papa Leon va vizita Turcia între 27 și 30 noiembrie, după care se va afla în Liban între 30 noiembrie și 2 decembrie. Aceasta este prima sa călătorie în afara Italiei. Prin această vizită, Papa dorește să lanseze un apel de pace în întreaga regiune. Una dintre opririle sale va fi la bazilica de lângă lacul Iznik, în regiunea Bursa, unde a avut loc Primul Conciliu de la Niceea, relatează bianet.org. Primul Conciliu de la Niceea, ținut în anul 325, este primul conciliu ecumenic al Bisericii Creștine, care a pus bazele dogmatice și canonice ale creștinismului, definind dogmele religioase ca răspuns la provocarea reprezentată de erezia arianistă. Această bazilică a fost descoperită acum 11 ani. Este situată la aproximativ 20 de metri de malul lacului, și este acum sub apă, la o adâncime de 1,5 până la 2 metri. În ultimii ani, acolo au fost efectuate săpături arheologice, sprijinite și de Ministerul Turismului din Ankara. Acum, înainte de vizita Papei, au loc și lucrări de amenajare a zonei. Potrivit șefului lucrărilor, Mustafa Șahin, „biserica poate deveni un loc de pelerinaj și un centru de interes pentru turismul religios, rămânând pe harta turistică a Turciei și după vizita Înaltului Pontif.” Un partid de opoziție din Bulgaria alertează Statele Unite că oligarhul Delyan Peevski nu respectă sancțiunile Magnitsky impuse împotriva saPartidul de opoziție reformist „Da, Bulgaria” a alertat guvernul Statelor Unite cu privire la faptul că oligarhul Delyan Peevski nu respectă sancțiunile impuse împotriva sa de Washington în temeiul Legii Magnitsky. Potrivit partidului, Peevski folosește un cont în dolari la Banca Municipală din Sofia, relatează secțiunea bulgară a postului Radio Europa Liberă.Peevski a fost sancționat de Statele Unite pentru corupție în 2021. Conform sancțiunilor, băncile nu ar trebui să-i permită să opereze cu dolari, deoarece acest lucru ar putea duce la sancțiuni și împotriva lor.Sesizarea a fost depusă la Oficiul pentru Controlul Activelor Străine (OFAC), care face parte din Departamentul Trezoreriei SUA. „Declarația lui Peevski indică faptul că deține un cont în dolari, ceea ce înseamnă că banca unde este deschis contul trebuie să aibă legături cu o bancă americană”, a declarat un reprezentant al partidului „Da, Bulgaria”. Potrivit acestuia, banca americană nu ar fi fost informată în mod corespunzător că oligarhul sancționat este deservit de Banca Municipală.Mai mult, Peevski declară și venituri din dividende, iar plata acestora reprezintă o altă încălcare a sancțiunilor.Peevski a fost sancționat de Statele Unite pentru corupție în 2021, motivul invocat de Washington fiind acela că oligarhul „a participat în mod regulat la acte de corupție, folosind traficul de influență și mita pentru a se proteja de controlul public și pentru a exercita controlul asupra instituțiilor și sectoarelor cheie ale societății bulgare”. În 2022, el a fost sancționat și de Regatul Unit, pe baza acelorași argumente.Peevski este considerat cel mai puternic om pe scena politică din Bulgaria, controlând nu doar sistemul judiciar bulgar și serviciile secrete, ci și executivul de la Sofia. După cea de-a doua alegere a lui Donald Trump ca președinte, Peevski s-a prezentat ca un admirator al noului lider american și, în dorința de a intra în grațiile mișcării MAGA, pentru a fi absolvit de sancțiuni, a elaborat liste cu presupuși „sorosiști” și a propus formarea unei comisiei parlamentare care să-i investigheze.

Transcript of the Interview: Manya Brachear Pashman:   Professor Eugene Kandel served as economic adviser to the Prime Minister of Israel from 2009 to 2015, and with Ron Sor is a co-founder of Israel's Strategic Futures Institute. He is also chairman of the Tel Aviv stock exchange, the only public stock exchange in Israel, known locally as the Bursa. He is with us now to talk about the impact of Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza on Israel's economy, the potential and impact so far of the Abraham Accords, and how history could one day view October 7 as a turning point for Israel's democracy.  Dr. Kandel, welcome to People of the Pod. Eugene Kandel:   Thank you. Thank you for having me.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   Before we begin, your family came to Israel in 1977. Can you share your family's Aliyah story? Eugene Kandel:   Yeah, when I was 14, my family was living very comfortably in the Soviet Union. My father was a quite known writer, playwright, a script writer. And around him was a group of Jewish people of culture that were quite known in their domains, mostly Jewish. And so at some point in 67 he sort of had this vision and started studying Hebrew. But 1970 and then by ‘73 when I was 14 years old, he came to me and said, Look, your mom and I decided to immigrate to Israel. What do you think about it, and I said, I don't know what I think about it. Okay, you know, if we want to immigrate, let's immigrate. I never felt too much belonging there. So unfortunately, Soviet authorities had other ideas about that. So we spent four years as refuseniks. My father, together with Benjamin Fine, were the editors of the underground publication called Tarbut. And for people who did not live there, they put their names on it. So this was, these were typewritten copies of Jewish culture monthly. And there were two names on it. You could go to jail for this. My father was always pretty brave man for his petite size, because during the Second World War, he was very, very hungry, to say the least. So he didn't really grow very much. But he's very big inside.  And so the following four years were pretty tough on them, because he couldn't work anywhere. Just like in McCarty years in this country, people would give work to their friends and then publish it under their own name. That's what he did for his friends, and they would share the money with him, or give him most of the money. There were very, very brave people. And then, you know, there was an incident where they wanted to send a message to my father to be a little less publicly outspoken. And so two KGB agents beat me up.  And that started a whole interesting set of events, because there was an organization in Chicago called Chicago Action for Soviet Jewry. Pamela Cohen. And I actually met Pamela when I was studying at the University of Chicago. And thanked her. So they took upon themselves to harass Soviet cinema and theater and culture officials. And so they were so successful that at some point, the writers league from Hollywood said that nobody will go to Moscow Film Festival unless they release us because they do not want to associate with people who beat up children. I wasn't a child, I was 17 years old, but still. And that sort of helped. At least, that's how we think about it.  So it's worthwhile being beaten up once in a while, because if it lets you out, I would take it another time. And then we came to Israel in a very interesting time. We came to Israel four hours after Anwar Sadat left. So we came to a different Israel. On the brink of a peace agreement with Egypt. And so that was it.  We came to Mevaseret Zion, which was an absorption center. A small absorption center. Today I actually live probably 500 yards from where we stayed. Sort of full circle.  And today, it's a significant, it's about 25,000 people town. And that's the story, you know, in the middle, in between then and now, I served in the military, did two degrees at Hebrew University, did two degrees at the University of Chicago, served as professor at the University of Rochester, and then for 28 years, served as professor of economics and finance at the Hebrew University. So I keep doing these circles to places where I started. Manya Brachear Pashman:   You say you arrived four hours after Sadat's visit to Israel on the brink of a peace agreement with Egypt. Did that peace agreement live up to expectations? Eugene Kandel:   Well, it depends what are your expectations. If your expectation will continue in the war, it definitely did, because, you know, for the last, you know, whatever, 48 years, we didn't have any military activity between Israel and Egypt. And we even have security collaboration to some extent. But if you're thinking about real peace, that would translate into people to people peace, business to business peace, it did not generate that at all. Because there was a very, very strong opposition on the street level and on the intellectuals level.  It actually started to break a little bit, because today you can find analysts on Egyptian television that are saying that we are, we are stupid because we don't collaborate with Israel. It is allowed today, It's allowed to be said in, you know, 20-30, years [ago], that person would have been ostracized and would never be allowed to speak.  So there is some progress, but unfortunately, it's a huge loss for the Egyptian economy. For Israeli economy, it is probably also a loss, but Israeli economy has a lot of alternatives in other countries. But Egyptians don't seem to be able to implement all the things that Israelis implemented a long time ago. You know, whether it's water technologies, whether it's energy technologies. Lots of lots of stuff, and it's really, really unfortunate that we could have helped Egyptian people, the same people who rejected any relations with us. And that's a pity. Manya Brachear Pashman:   The next peace agreement that came was with Jordan in 1994, quite some time later. Did that peace agreement live up to expectations, and where were you in 1994? Eugene Kandel:   1994, I was a professor at the University of Rochester, so I wasn't involved at all. But again, it was a very, very similar story. It was the peace that was sort of forced from above. It was clearly imposed on the people despite their objections, and you saw demonstrations, and you still see. But it was clear to the leadership of Jordan that Israel is, in their case, is absolutely essential for the survival of the Hashemite Dynasty. In the end the Israeli intelligence saved that dynasty, many, many times.  But again, it wasn't translated into anything economic, almost anything economic, until in the early 2000s there were some plants in Jordan by Israeli businessmen that were providing jobs, etc. But I was privileged to be the first to go to Jordan together with American officials and negotiate the beginning of the gas agreement.  We were selling gas to Jordan, because Jordan was basically going bankrupt because of the high energy costs. Jordan doesn't have its own energy, apart from oil shale. Sorry, shale oil. And for some reason they weren't able to develop that. But Israeli gas that we are selling to them as a result of what we started in 2012 I believe. Actually very important for the Jordanian economy. And if we can continue that, then maybe connect our electrical grid, which is now in the works, between the water-energy system.  And now maybe there is a possibility to connect the Syrian grid. If we have an agreement with Syria, it will help tremendously these countries to get economic development much faster. And it will help Israel as well, to balance its energy needs and to maybe get energy, provide energy, you know, get electricity, provide gas. You know, there's all these things where we can do a lot of things together. If there is a will on the other side. There's definitely will on the Israeli side. Manya Brachear Pashman:   In addition to gas, there's also water desalination agreements, as well, right? Eugene Kandel:   Yeah, there was a Red to Dead project, which was to pump the water all the way from the Red Sea along the Arava Valley. And then there is a 400 meter, 500 meter drop. And so to generate electricity through that desalinate that water that you pump, and then send that water to Egypt, send the electricity that was generated and not needed to Israel and then dump this salt stuff into the Dead Sea. Frankly, I don't know where this project is. Nobody talks about it for the last seven, eight years. I haven't heard.  Now there are different projects where you would get energy generated in Jordan and sold to Israel in Eilat, for example, because it's difficult for us to bring electricity all the way South. And so if the Jordanians have large fields of photovoltaic energy they can sell, they can satisfy the needs of a lot, and then in return, we can desalinate water and send it to them. So there's all kinds of projects that are being discussed. Manya Brachear Pashman:   But Israel does provide water to Jordan, correct? Eugene Kandel:   There are two agreements. One agreement, according to our peace agreement, we are supposed to provide them with a certain amount of water. I don't remember the exact amount. But that's not enough, and so we also sell them water. So think about it. There is a sweet water reservoir called Tiberius, Kinneret, in the north, and we sending water from there into two directions according to the agreement. We're sending it to Amman, pumping it up to the mountains, and then we're sending it throughout the Jordan Valley, all the way along the Jordan River, to the Jordanian side. So it's quite striking when I used to go between Jerusalem and Amman, it's actually an hour and a half drive. That's it. You go down, you go up, and you're there.  And so when you're passing the Israeli side, you see the plantations of date palms that are irrigated with drip irrigation. So very, very economically, using the brackish salt water that is pumped out of the ground there. You cross two miles further, you see banana plantations that are flood irrigated at 50-centigrade weather, and the water that comes from them comes on an open canal. So basically, 50% of the water that we send this way evaporates. Growing bananas in that climate and using so much water, it's probably, if you take into account the true cost of water, it's probably money losing proposition, but they're getting the water. The people that are the settlements on that Bank of Jordan River, are getting it for free. They don't care. And if somebody would just internalize that, and instead of sending the water down in an open canal, would send the whole water up to Amman, where there is a shortage of water, enormous shortage of water. And then you would take the gravity and use that water to generate electricity, to clean that water, the sewage, clean it and drip irrigate plantations, everybody would make enormous amounts of money. Literally enormous amounts of money. And everybody's lives would be better, okay? And I'm not talking about Israelis. It's within Jordan. And you can't say that there's no technology for that, because the technology is two miles away. You can see it.  And it just puzzles me. Why wouldn't that be done by some entrepreneurs, Jordanian entrepreneurs. We could really help with that. We could even help by buying the water from them back. The water that we give them, we can buy it back. Because in Israel, the water is very expensive. So we could finance that whole thing just by sending the water back, but that would be probably politically unacceptable, I don't know. But it's really, really . . . for an economist, it's just a sad story. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Missed opportunities. Well, let's go back. I introduced you as the chair of the Tel Aviv stock exchange, the Bursa. And I am curious. Let's talk about the economy. Does Israel treat its stock market the same way we do? In other words, are there opening and closing bells at the beginning and end of every day? How does the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange work compared to the United States? Eugene Kandel:   Well, we do have the opening bell, but it's usually reserved for some events. We don't have the events every day. Usually, if there's a new listing, or there's somebody celebrating, like, 20 years of listing, we have all kinds. Recently, we had Mr. Bill Ackman came and gave a speech and opened the trading together with us.  There are events around Jeffries Conference. But it's much more, you know, ceremony, I mean, it's not really connected to anything. Trading starts whether you press the button or don't. But Israeli stock exchange is unique in the following sense: it is an open limit book. What means that there is, you know, buyers meet sellers directly, and it works like that, not only in stocks, which is similar to what it is everywhere, but it's also in bonds, government bonds, corporate bonds, and in derivatives.  So in that sense, we do have our ceremonies, but the interesting thing is, what is happening with the exchange in the last two years. Accidentally, I joined two years ago as the chairman, and over the last two years, the stock exchange, the indices of Israeli Stock Exchange were the best performing out of all developed countries, by far. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Did that have something to do with the war? Eugene Kandel:   Well, it should have been, you know, in the opposite direction, but, the war is, not this length of war, not this intensity of war . . . but if you look back over at least 25 years, the Israeli economy responds very robustly to military conflict. Usually they're much shorter. If you look at even quarterly returns of the stock exchange, you would not know that there was a war in the middle, definitely not annual. If you look over the last 25 years, and you look at this stock, annual returns of the indices, you would not know that there was anything wrong, apart from our 2003 crisis, and Corona. Even the great financial crisis, you would not see it. I mean it was basically past us, because we didn't have a financial crisis in Israel. We had repercussions from, you know, the rest of the world's financial crisis, but we didn't get our own. And so we do have resilience built in, because we're just so used to it. However, having said that, it's the first time that we have such a long and intensive war on seven, whatever fronts. So it is quite surprising that just like any other time, it took about three months for the stock market to rebound after October 8. It was a big question whether to open the market on October 8. We struggled with it, and we decided that we do not want to give anybody the right to disrupt the Israeli economy.  I mean, it was a really tough decision, because there was certain people were saying, Well, how can you do that? It's a national tragedy. And of course, it was a national tragedy. But closing the market would have meant two things.  First of all, it would have shown the world that our economy can be interrupted. It would have given the benefit to those people that did these atrocities, that they managed to do more damage than they already did. And we didn't want to do that. And it didn't collapse. It went down, of course, but it rebounded within less than three months. By the end of that year, it was back on the same level. And then it did this comeback, which was quite phenomenal. And it's an interesting question, how come? Because during that time, we had some cases where Israel was boycotted by investors, very few, by the way, but we also saw many, many new investors coming in.  You could look at the war from the negative side. Of course, huge costs. But with all that, it was about 10% of annual GDP, because we are, you know, we're a big economy, and we borrowed that very easily because we had a very strong macro position before that. So we now 76% debt to GDP ratio. It's much lower than majority of developed countries. But we still had to borrow that. It was a lot of money, and then the defense budget is going to go up. So there is this cost.  But vis a vis that, A, Israeli technology has been proven to be unmatched, apart from maybe us technology in certain cases, but in some cases, even there, we have something to share. And so we have huge amounts of back orders for our defense industries. During the war, and they were going up when some of the countries that are making these purchases were criticizing us. They were learning from what we did, and buying, buying our equipment and software, etc.  And the second thing, we removed the huge security threat. If you look before October 7, we were quite concerned about 150,000 missiles, some of them precise missiles in Hezbollah's hands, an uninterrupted path from Iran through Syria to Hezbollah, constantly replenishing. We would bomb them sometimes in Syria, but we didn't catch all of them. We had Hamas, we had Hezbollah, we had Syrians, we had Iranians. We had, you know, not, you know, Iraqi militia. So, Hezbollah doesn't exist. Well, it exists, but it's nowhere near where it where was at. And the Lebanese Government is seriously attempting to disarm it. Syria, we all know what happened in Syria. We didn't lift a finger to do that. But indirectly, from what happened in Hezbollah, the rebels in Syria became emboldened and did what they did. We know what happened with Hamas. We know what happened with Iran. Okay, Iran, even Europeans reimposed the sanctions. So that's the side effect.  So if you look at the Israeli geopolitical and security situation, it's much, much better. And in that situation, once the war is over and the hostages are returned, and hopefully, we will not let this happen again, ever, to work hard so we remember that and not become complacent. It's an enormous, enormous boost to Israeli economy, because this security premium was quite big.  So that is on the positive side, and if we play smart, and we play strategically, and we regain sort of good relations with some of the countries which are currently very critical of us, and somehow make them immune to this anti Israeli antisemitism propaganda, we can really get going. Manya Brachear Pashman:   You mentioned investors. There were more investors after the war. Where were those investors coming from, internally or from other countries?  Eugene Kandel:   It's interesting that you asked this question, because in 2020, early 2024 a lot of Israeli institutions and individuals moved to S&P 500, and they got really hammered. Twice. Because A, S&P 500 was lagging behind the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. So there was some other players coming in, because otherwise, when you move money, usually, you should see a drop, but you saw an increase. That meant that there are others came in. But the more interesting thing is that shekel was very weak when they bought dollars, and now shekel is about 15% stronger, so they lost 15% just on the exchange rate. And so a lot of money that went to S&P came back in the last six, eight months. So the internal money came back.  But on top of internal money, we looked at the behavior of foreign investors right after October 7. They didn't flee the country. Some of them sold stocks, bought bonds. And then so Israeli institutions made money on that, because Israeli institutions bought stocks from them at about 10%, 15% discount, and then when it rebounded, they made money. But that money didn't leave, it stayed in Israel, and it was very costly to repatriate it, because the shekel was very weak. And so buying dollars back was expensive. And the money slowly went into stocks. And then people made quite a lot of money on this. Manya Brachear Pashman:   The last topic I want to cover with you is external relations. You mentioned Syria, the potential of collaborating with Syria for water, gas. Eugene Kandel:   Electricity. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Electricity. And I presume that you're referring to the possibility of Syria being one of the next members to join the Abraham Accords. That has been mentioned as a possibility. Eugene Kandel:   Maybe. But we can, we can do something much less. Manya Brachear Pashman: Outside of the Accords. Eugene Kandel:   Outside of the Accords, or pre-Accord, or we can, we can just create some kind of collaboration, just we had, like as we had with UAE for for 15 years before the Accord was signed. Was a clear understanding.  Maybe. But we can, we can do something much less outside of the Accord, or pre-Accord, or we can, we can just create some kind of collaboration, just we had, like as we had with UAE for for 15 years before the Accord was signed. Was a clear understanding.  You know, I was in UAE, in Dubai on the day of signing of the Accord. I landed in Dubai when they were signing on the on the green loan, on the White House lawn. And we landed. It was amazing. It was the degree of warmth that we received from everybody, from ministers in the economy to ministers that came to speak to us, by the dozen to people in the hotel that were just meeting us. They issued, for example, before signing the Accord, there was a regulation passed by by UAE that every hotel has to have kosher food. We don't have that in Israel. I mean, hotels mostly have kosher food, but not all of them, and, and it's not by law.  This was, like, clear, we want these people to feel comfortable. It was truly amazing. I've never, I could never imagine that I would come to a country where we didn't have any relations until today, and suddenly feel very, very welcome. On every level, on the street, in restaurants. And that was quite amazing, and that was the result of us collaborating below the surface for many, many years. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Parity of esteem, yes? Suddenly. Eugene Kandel:   Yeah, they didn't feel they did exactly the important part when the UAE businessman or or Ambassador order you feel completely no chip on the shoulder whatsoever. They feel very proud of their heritage. They feel very proud of their achievements. They feel and you feel at the same level. They feel at the same level, just like you would with the Europeans. We always felt that there was something like when, when, Arab delegations, always tension. I don't know whether it was superiority or inferiority. I don't know. It doesn't matter, but it was always tension in here. I didn't feel any tension. Was like, want to do business, we want to learn from you, and you'll to learn from us. And it was just wow. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Same in Bahrain and Morocco? Eugene Kandel:   I haven't been to Bahrain and Morocco. I think Bahrain wants to do business. They were very even, sort of some of, we sent the delegation to Bahrain to talk about sort of Israeli technology and how to build an ecosystem in the same with Morocco. I think it's a bit different. I think it's a bit different because we didn't see much going on from from these two countries. Although Morocco is more advancing much faster than Bahrain. There are a lot of interesting proposals coming out of it.  There's a genuine desire there. In the last two years, of course, it was difficult for for anybody to do anything in those but interestingly, when almost no European airlines or American airlines were flying to us, Etihad and Emirates were flying to Israel. They were flying. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Past two years? Eugene Kandel:   Yeah, they would not stop. And you're just like, wow. Manya Brachear Pashman:   So would you say the Abraham Accords have had a significant impact on Israel's economy at all? Eugene Kandel:   I do not know. I mean, I don't have data on that by the sheer number. I mean, the the number of Israeli tourists Sue UAE, it's probably 10 or 20 to one to the vice versa. So we've been Israelis flooding UAE. In terms of investments, there are some technology investments. There's some, some more infrastructural investors, like they bought 20% of our gas field. There are collaborations between universities and research centers. So it's hard to measure, but you have to remember that there was a huge amount of trade and collaboration under the surface. So it surfaced. But that doesn't mean that there was an effect on the economy, just people suddenly saw it. So you don't know what the Delta was. If the same amount of business was suddenly coming out of Jordan, we would have seen, you know, big surge. So I'm not sure how much . . . I don't mean to say that there was no impact. I'm just saying that the impact was much more gradual, because there was so much already, right? But I'm sure that it is continuing, and the fact that these airlines were continuing to fly, indicates that there is a demand, and there's a business. Initially a lot of Israelis thought that there was, this was a money bag, and they would go there and try to raise money and not understanding culture, not understanding. That period is over. I mean, the Emiratis conveyed pretty clearly that they not. They're very sophisticated investors. They know how to evaluate so they do when they make investments, these investments make sense, rather than just because you wanted to get some money from somebody. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Well, thank you so much.  Eugene Kandel:   Thank you.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   If you missed our last episode, be sure to tune in for my conversation with AJC's Director of Congressional Affairs Jessica Bernton. We spoke shortly after receiving the news that a deal had been reached and the hostages from the October 7 Hamas terror attack might finally come home after two years in captivity. That dream was partially realized last week when all the living hostages returned and the wait began for those who were murdered.  

In part 2 of this conversation with the City of Bursa on The Intelligent Community, ICF Co-Founder Lou Zacharilla has a conversation with Demet Sinmez, Smart Urbanization Branch Manager, Bursa Metropolitan Municipality. The Ottoman Empire's first capital city has transformed itself into a forward-looking community of three million while maintaining its cultural roots and skill at bringing together groups for collaboration. Bursa is a UNESCO Heritage site where one can still see the Ottoman's urban planning. Our conversation with Demet Sinmez, Head of the Smart Urbanism branch of the metropolitan municipality ranges from Bursa's focus on SMEs, education to one of its great quality of life treasures: its annual gastronomy festival. Bursa is proud of its historic achievement in the ICF program and is a case study of an historic, proud city balancing history, humanity and the need to keep pace with the economic development requirements of the Digital Age. Demet Sinmez graduated from Uludağ University in 1997 with a bachelor's degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. She began her professional career in the private sector, specializing in the Internet of Things (IoT) and telecommunications systems for approximately 12 years. In 2009, she joined Bursa Metropolitan Municipality, where she served as an IoT and software development specialist across various departments. During this period, she played an active role in critical infrastructure and software projects aimed at driving citywide digital transformation. For the past year, she has been serving as the Head of the Smart Urbanism Branch, leading teams that develop strategic projects supporting urban innovation ecosystems, with a focus on citywide data analytics, communication networks, sustainable urban solutions, and smart city technologies.

#acıtatlımayhoş Aylin Öney Tan, kavatanın izini sürmeye devam ediyor. Kavata dolmalık biber mi, domates mi? Bursa civarında "gavata" denen bitkinin kökü, Latince 'oymak' anlamındaki 'kavare'den geliyor. İtalyanca'da da "içi oyuk" anlamı kullanılıyor. Peki, Evliya Çelebi bundan niye bahsetmemiş?

In this episode, Stephanie Boyles-Griffin, Jessica Tegt, Steve Demarais, and Bronson Strickland discuss the complexities of urban deer management, exploring the challenges posed by growing deer populations in urban areas. While recreational hunting remains the most effective and practical tool for population control in most settings, an increasing number of circumstances—especially in urban and suburban areas—render it unfeasible. Stephanie and Jessica, both from the Botstiber Institute, outline non-lethal and alternative methods commonly used to manage deer in these environments and walk through the series of decisions required to evaluate which techniques are appropriate and how likely they are to succeed.  Below, Stephanie and Jessica have provided resources if you are interested in learning more. Check out the MSU Deer Lab's online seminar series (here) and choose the Natural Resources option from the Categories drop down menu.  You will have to create an account to view the seminars.  The seminars are free unless you are seeking professional educational credits.

'Saint Patrick was Bishop of Prusa, a city in Bythinia (the present-day Brusa or Bursa). Because of his Christian faith, he was brought before Julius (or Julian) the Consul, who in his attempts to persuade Patrick to worship as he himself did, declared that thanks was owed to the gods for providing the hot springs welling up from the earth for the benefit of men. Saint Patrick answered that thanks for this was owed to our Lord Jesus Christ, and explained that when He, Who is God, created the earth, He made it with both fire and water, and the fire under the earth heats the water which wells up, producing hot springs; he then explained that there is another fire, which awaits the ungodly. Because of this, he was cast into the hot springs, but it was the soldiers who cast him in, and not he, who were harmed by the hot water. After this St Patrick was beheaded with the presbyters Acacius, Menander, and Polyaenus. Most likely this was during the reign of Diocletian (284-305).' (Great Horologion)
