The president of the Partido Popular, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, appears before the media at the national headquarters of the Partido Popular, on December 29, 2025, in Madrid (Spain). Two days before the end of the current year, during his speech, Feijóo took stock of 2025, listing what have been for the PP the ten failures of the Government in this period: housing, migration, international policy, protection of the family and women, and corruption, among others. The leader of the PP stated that in Spain "it is the Government that is failing, not the nation" and that the PP is prepared to offer an alternative to this Executive.

Flash Flood Aftermath In Aceh Tamiang - Indonesia

Flash Flood Aftermath In Aceh Tamiang - Indonesia

On December 14, 2025, in Aceh Tamiang, Aceh, Indonesia, the phrase "The Heart of the World is Bleeding" aptly encapsulates the aftermath of the flash floods that occurred during this period. In the wake of the devastation, residents gathered tree trunks that had been uprooted and displaced from the Leuser Ecosystem, a consequence of Tropical Cyclone Senyar that may be characterised as a "dark harvest." Rudi Putra, the founder of the Leuser Conservation Forum, articulated that the magnitude of this devastation transcends a typical natural disaster; it serves as a poignant indicator of the deterioration of our natural defences against the global climate crisis.
