(CNN) — El partido gobernante Nueva Democracia de Grecia obtuvo una aplastante victoria en las elecciones parlamentarias este domingo, pero no logró obtener una mayoría absoluta en una votación dominada por la crisis del costo de vida, un escándalo de escuchas telefónicas y la ira por el accidente de tren más mortífero en la historia del país.Con más del 99% de los votos escrutados, el partido gobernante de centro derecha del primer ministro Kyriakos Mitsotakis superó todas las expectativas al obtener más del 40% de los votos en un resultado que calificó de “terremoto político”.Su principal oposición, el partido de centroizquierda Syriza de Alexis Tsipras, sufrió grandes derrotas, quedando en segundo lugar con poco más del 20% de los votos.Sin embargo, Mitsotakis no obtuvo suficientes votos para asegurar un gobierno de partido único. La votación se llevó a cabo bajo un nuevo sistema de representación proporcional que requiere un umbral de alrededor del 45%.La presidenta de Gre...

Cómo el daño de un impago de la deuda de EEUU afectaría a la economía mundial

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:37:25 GMT

WASHINGTON — Si la crisis de la deuda que sacude a Washington eventualmente enviara a Estados Unidos a una recesión, la economía estadounidense difícilmente se hundiría por sí sola.Las repercusiones de un incumplimiento de pago de la deuda federal por primera vez repercutirían rápidamente en todo el mundo. Los pedidos de fábricas chinas que venden productos electrónicos a Estados Unidos podrían agotarse. Los inversores suizos que poseen bonos del Tesoro de EEUU sufrirían pérdidas. Las empresas de Sri Lanka ya no podían desplegar dólares como alternativa a su propia moneda dudosa.“Ningún rincón de la economía mundial se salvará” si el gobierno de EEUU incumple y la crisis no se resuelve rápidamente, dijo Mark Zandi, economista jefe de Moody’s Analytics. Qué pasa si no suben el techo de la deuda, ¿Hay un plan si fallan las conversaciones? Se acorta el tiempo: Biden y McCarthy se reúnen este lunes para abordar el techo de la deuda Za...

Water expert give tips on how to prevent drowning incidents as summer approaches

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:37:25 GMT

Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer, which means it’s almost time to break out the grills and soak up the sun. Many people will spend plenty of time by the water this summer, so it’s a good time to start addressing water safety with loved ones.William Ramos, director of the Aquatics Institute and associate professor at the Indiana University School of Public Health-Bloomington, said children are at a higher risk of drowning and he has recommendations for parents as more young ones are eager to get into the water during the hot season. “Every day in the United States, 11 people drown. And within that group, ages one to four, it’s actually the leading cause of death for children,” said Ramos.He suggests that parents should enroll their children in swim lessons, as a good first line of defense to help prevent drowning accidents.While not all drowning accidents result in death, survivors can be left with severe brain and nerve damage, which c...
