Ee Bericht vum Lëtzebuerger Flüchtlingsrot wéist op schlëmm Conditiounen an de Strukturen, déi Flüchtlingen zu Lëtzebuerg ophuelen, hin. D'woxx-Journalistin María Elorza konnt de Bericht liesen, an och aner Dokumenter, wéi zum Beispill Fotoen, gesinn. Do ass ze gesinn, datt d'Liewenskonditiounen an deene Strukture schlëmm sinn, sou ginn et ganz onhygieenesch Sanitäranlagen, mä awer och Problemer mat der Sécherheet a quasi keng Privatsphär. Am Podcast erkläert d'María Elorza, wisou déi Conditiounen net de Standarde vun der EU entspriechen a wien am Fong zoustänneg ass, fir déi Strukturen ze iwwerpréiwen. Ausserdeem gi mir op d'Fro an, wisou Journalist*innen an ONGen net an d'Strukture gelooss ginn. Den Artikel, iwwert dee mir geschwat hunn: Politique d'accueil : La vie dans les hébergementsThe post Onhygieenesch Zoustänn a Lëtzebuerger Flüchtlingsstrukturen first appeared on Radio ARA.
Eng rezent Etüd vum Observatoire de la politique climatique huet d’Leit zu Lëtzebuerg gefrot, wéi si zur Klimapolitik stinn. An d’Majoritéit vun der Bevëlkerung ass fir méi Klimaschutz. D’María Elorza huet sech d’Etüd ugekuckt a schwätzt am Podcast iwwert d’Detailer vun de Resultater. Sou gëtt et net nëmmen Ënnerscheeder tëscht jonk an al, mä och tëscht aarm a räich. Dës Resultater spigelen sech och international erëm: Do sinn et 89 Prozent, déi méi staark Klimaschutzmoossname wëllen. Den Artikel, iwwert dee mir geschwat hunn: Meinungsumfrage: Der KlimaschutzkonsensThe post Wéi vill Klimaschutz wëll d'Lëtzebuerger Bevëlkerung? first appeared on Radio ARA.
Bei der Klimabeweegung denkt een*t vläicht als éischt u jonk Leit, déi Freides op d’Strooss ginn oder sech op d’Strooss pecht. Zu Lëtzebuerg waren dës zwou Aktiounsformen zwar ni immens staark, mä trotzdeem dominéieren esou Biller den ëffentlechen Discours. Mä et ginn och ganz aner Klimaaktivist*innen, déi och mat anere Methode schaffen. Esou zum Beispill d’Klimasenior*innen, ëm déi et dës Woch am Podcast geet. Engersäits ginn et d’Klimaseniorinnen aus der Schwäiz, déi eng grouss Victoire zu Stroossbuerg virum Europäesche Geriichtshaff fir Mënscherechter errongen hunn. Wat dat Urteel bedeit a wat d’Schwäiz elo maache muss, erkläert d’María Elorza am Podcast. Si schwätzt och doriwwer, wat deen nach klenge Grupp vu Lëtzebuerger Klima-Senior*innen esou wëlles huet. Den Artikel, iwwert deen mir geschwat hunn: Klimaklagen: Sie zeigen den WegThe post Wéi Senior*innen sech an d'Klimabeweegung abréngen first appeared on Radio ARA.
Zu Lëtzebuerg gëtt et ee Mangel u Plazen a Strukture fir Leit, déi geflücht sinn. Zesumme mat dem extrem iwwerlaaschte Wunnengsmaart feiert dat zu Situatiounen, datt Leit aus de staatleche Strukturen expulséiert ginn. Hir eenzeg ëffentlech Alternativ ass dann déi sougenannt Maison de retour – oder d’Wanteraktioun. Am Podcast erkläert d’María Elorza, wéi et zu dëser Situatioun komm ass a wéi se sech warscheinlech entwéckele wäert.

In this latest episode of the podcast, former Philly Mayor Michael Nutter and Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed talk to education reformer and former Providence Mayor Jorge Elorza on what students really need … now. Once upon a time, Democrats were the party trusted with directing education in America. But, as Democrats for Education Reform Executive Director Jorge Elorza says, that ended in the waning days of the Obama administration. Now? Democrats have lost the language, ideas, policy and vision around education. This does create an opportunity moving forward. “We're no longer just armed with the policy case or the moral case for reform, there's also political self-interest,” he says. Elorza is a former Providence, Rhode Island, mayor inspired to go into politics to ensure other children had the same educational opportunities as he had, as the child of immigrants looking for American success. He's now on a mission to help design an education system that is innovative, accountable and offers choice. Listen, subscribe, spread the word!

Javier Elorza, diplomático y negociador del gobierno de Felipe González, es reconocido en Bruselas como el padre de un importante instrumento financiero. Este permite que los países de la Unión Europea, cuya renta per cápita sea inferior al 90% de la media europea, accedan a fondos especiales. Actualmente, España vuelve a ser un potencial beneficiario de estos fondos. Esta situación conduce a dos conclusiones significativas. Primero, España, que había dejado de ser elegible para estos fondos, ha reingresado en lo que se podría llamar el "club de los países pobres" de la Unión Europea. Segundo, si España no solicita estos fondos, a pesar de poder hacerlo, perderá la oportunidad de recibir 6.600 millones de euros que Bruselas estaría dispuesta a otorgar. #fondoseuropeos #españa #marcvidal

Bill Bartholomew reports on yesterday's rededication ceremony of the Columbus statue in Johnston, RI. The statue stood in Providence for over a century, but after multiple vandalism incidents, and with mounting public pressure, then-Providence mayor Elorza ordered it removed in 2020. Businessman Joe Paolino purchased the statue and donated it to the city of Johnston. Meanwhile, in a personal saga that has been ongoing for the past year, Johnston mayor Joe Polisena, Jr. claimed on talk radio that Governor McKee had encouraged protesters to show up at the rededication ceremony, something the governor denies and the mayor was unable to supply further details on when pressed by me.

Abrimos con una versión contemporánea del cine del Oeste tradicional, El cazador de recompensas, duelos, tiroteos, partidas de póquer, escenarios que junto al árido desierto y la banda sonora nos llevan inevitablemente a Sergio Leone. Una vieja historia protagonizada por Christoph Waltz y William Dafoe. Uno de los estrenos más esperados es Marlowe del director irlandés Neil Jordan, todo un homenaje al cine negro con mucho suspense y un crimen. Una cinta muy recomendable con un elenco de actores y actrices de la talla de Liam Neeson, Diane Kruger o Jessica Lange. Otra de las cintas en la que nos detenemos es Nuestros Hijos de la portuguesa más internacional, María de Medeiros, quien pasa por De película como directora para comentarnos su último trabajo, una historia de personajes femeninos y vidas entrecruzadas.

On today's special episode, we're sitting down with Democrats for Education Reform and its affiliate Education Reform Now's newly announced CEO, former Providence Mayor Jorge Elorza. Elorza served as mayor in Providence, RI for two consecutive terms, and was branded as the “education mayor” of the city. He undertook bold actions to advance a social and racial justice agenda. This included taking the unprecedented step to engage the state Department of Education to turn around the city's chronically underperforming school system, creating the city's Eat, Play, Learn Initiative to expand out-of-school enrichment, and launching a nationally recognized African American Ambassador Group to bring Black leaders into the center of policymaking.
This week on Newsmakers: after eight years in office, Providence Mayor Jorge Elorza is preparing to move on. Steph Machado sat down with Elorza in his City Hall office to look back at those eight years, and look ahead to what's next.

Mayor Jorge Elorza is leaving office after eight years, wrapping up two terms leading the capital city that have been marked by a pandemic, crisis in education and ongoing pension problem.Perhaps nothing loomed larger over Elorza's second term than the state takeover of the Providence public school system.Elorza contends he didn't lose control of the schools -- he gave them away. But now, extremely critical of the way the turnaround has gone, does the mayor regret anything?In this episode of Pulse of Providence, hear what the outgoing mayor has to say about the city schools, his signature achievements and unfinished businesses as he prepares to hand the keys to City Hall over to Mayor-elect Brett Smiley in January.
Providence Rhade island just offered the most ridiculous reparations program in history. The city is even allowing white residents to apply for the funds. Mayor Jorge Elorza has offered a whopping $10 million dollars to the city's residents to correct for 400 years and trillions of dollars of theft, trauma and exploitation. What's even more suprising about this program is that Elorza and his "brilliant" team of advisors want to make these reparations available to white people. Today on The Black Financial Channel, our goal is to understand how allegedly intelligent and "woke" people can come up with such a ridiculous reparations plan and why black people must gain the power necessary to demand adequate reparations for what's been done to us in this country.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — It's been nine months since Mayor Jorge Elorza's decision to appoint his recreation director to a new high-level police major job sparked backlash, leading to a political controversy and monthslong stalemate between Elorza and the City Council. The dispute was finally solved this spring, and Michael Stephens is now in a reworked civilian role at the Police Department, making $137,000 a year as the administrator of community relations and diversion services. In the above episode of Pulse of Providence, Stephens sits down for an exclusive interview about the controversy and the work he hopes to do to improve relationships between the community and the police in Providence.Also joining Stephens for the interview is Major Kevin Lanni, leader of the newly created community operation and engagement bureau.Watch the full episode: https://www.wpri.com/news/pulse-of-providence/pulse-of-providence-police-administrator-michael-stephens-and-maj-kevin-lanni/
