Aurora food bank flooded with desperate refugees

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:16:04 GMT

AURORA, Colo. (KDVR) — It can only be described as a heartbreaking sight. Hundreds waited for hours in the August heat hoping for a single bag of food.“It is very hard not to cry," said Amanda Blaurock, executive director of the Village Exchange Center. The center, which provides food and vaccines for refugees, usually sees about 150 people on distribution days. But that number has grown to more than 500 over the past few weeks. FOX31 spoke with one recipient, who said through an English translator: "Sometimes our husbands stay without work. God bless this organization for all the help they do." Denver buys Central Park motel to convert into housing for homeless Because of overcrowding at the nonprofit organization and multi-faith worship space, security guards with roots in Colombia and Afghanistan are now on hand to maintain the peace and help everyone get what they need before supplies run out.

Poland’s ruling party throws the opposition a referendum curveball

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:16:04 GMT

WARSAW — Anyone in favor of accepting illegal migrants, lowering border defenses, selling off state companies and making people work longer before they retire?If that’s the case, they should vote for Poland’s opposition parties and not the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party, which is putting those four questions to a referendum that will be held on the same day as the October 15 parliamentary election.The referendum questions are set to be approved Thursday by the lower house of parliament, where PiS holds a narrow majority.The questions and the way they’re phrased are not serious legislative ideas. Rather they’re designed to cause problems for PiS’s main rival in the election, the center-right Civic Platform (PO) and its leader Donald Tusk, in an election in which the ruling nationalists are trying to win an unprecedented third term.The idea is for the questions to whip up public support. The referendum is also treated separately from the election unde...

Spain’s Sánchez faces moment of truth as fresh elections loom

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:16:04 GMT

Spanish lawmakers are set to decide if the country will be governed by a fragile left-wing coalition led by current Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez — or if voters will be sent back to the ballot box for another election. After last month’s general election resulted in no overall winner, Sánchez will face a vital first test on Thursday as he seeks to find a way to remain in power. Although he has apparently succeeded in winning the support of a vast array of leftist and separatist parties, the socialist politician still doesn’t have the numbers needed to form a government: He requires at least a few MPs belonging to the Catalan independence Junts party to back his candidacy in parliament if he is to remain in office.That’s bad news for Sánchez, because Junts’ de facto leader, the self-exiled former Catalan president Carles Puigdemont, is demanding the socialists make seemingly impossible concessions in exchange for his party’s support.If JuntsR...

As Ukraine counteroffensive gets bogged down, it’s back to the drawing board

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:16:04 GMT

Jamie Dettmer is opinion editor at POLITICO Europe.Expectations for Ukraine’s counteroffensive were too high from the start.And as it now closes in on its third month, with no sign of a truly significant dynamic-changing breakthrough, it feels as though we’re back in a slog, a war of attrition that risks stretching the patience of impatient allies — something the Kremlin is no doubt hoping for.Or, as American military strategist Edward Luttwak noted this week, “The Ukraine war has entered its ‘grin & bear it’ period as it fights a Great Power that tried & failed to conquer it in a week last February, and which is now organized for protracted war.”Ukrainian officials blame their counterparts in allied governments for much of the overoptimism surrounding the counteroffensive — as well as an overenthusiastic Western media that mistakes wishful thinking for clear-eyed analysis all too often, conjuring up the idea of demoralized, badly led Russian soldiers quickly turning tail.
