Published Wed, 13 Nov 2024 11:27:26 GMT

A pocos días de que venza el periodo para renovar el Estatus de Protección Temporal (TPS, en inglés) para los salvadoreños, los consulados de ese país en el DMV están ayudando a sus connacionales durante este proceso de forma gratuita.Según el Servicio de Ciudadanía e Inmigración de Estados Unidos (USCIS, en inglés) más de 200,000 salvadoreños están amparados bajo el TPS: un programa que les permite vivir, trabajar, y hasta generar empleos en la nación norteamericana. Sin embargo, expertos afirman que no todos han renovado este beneficio. “El problema es que en las últimas veces había sido automático y no se tenía que hacer todo este papeleo. En el último llamado que hizo USCIS sí se tiene que hacer”, explicó la embajadora de El Salvador, Milena Mayorga. La funcionaria aclaró que los beneficiarios de otros países como Honduras, por ejemplo, tienen otra fecha de vencimiento. Los salvadoreños tienen hasta el 10 de septiembre para renovar el TPS.

Germany’s audit court slams Lindner’s ‘special funds’ — again

Published Wed, 13 Nov 2024 11:27:26 GMT

Germany’s Federal Court of Audit does not buy Finance Minister Christian Lindner’s back-of-the-envelope calculations for maintaining the so-called debt brake. In a report dated last Friday, but released this week, the court criticized the government’s use of “special funds,” which it said are now accumulating to a massive €869 billion. The auditors slammed this shadow budget as “hidden debt.”“By shifting revenues and expenditures to special funds on a financially significant scale, the federal budget has been gutted over the years,” the Court of Audit warned. Lindner has repeatedly committed to meeting the constitutionally enshrined Schuldenbremse, or debt brake, which allows Berlin to only make a very small amount of fresh debt every year. The fiscal rule aims to keep Germany’s debt-to-GDP ratio under 60 percent, in line with the EU’s debt rules. But the coalition government, led by Chancellor Olaf Scholz, has increa...

Von der Leyen proposes Dutch minister as climate commissioner

Published Wed, 13 Nov 2024 11:27:26 GMT

The European Commission wants to put Dutch Foreign Minister Wopke Hoekstra, a fiscal hardliner with little experience in green policymaking, in charge of EU climate action. The Dutch caretaker government last week named Hoekstra as its preferred replacement for Frans Timmermans, who resigned from the Commission to run in the country’s November election. Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced Tuesday that she decided to formally nominate Hoekstra as climate commissioner. “He will be in charge of climate action,” she said, “under the guidance” of Maroš Šefčovič, who was named executive vice president for the European Green Deal last week. Timmermans previously held both posts. Hoekstra now faces a tough hearing in the European Parliament, where left-leading MEPs have already raised doubts about whether he is suited for the role. Socialist lawmakers worry that the appointment of the center-right Hoekstra will tip the political balance in the C...
