Parada do Orgulho LGBTQIA+ é adiada em Paris por onda de calor

Parada do Orgulho LGBTQIA+ adiada em Paris por onda de calor Lewis Joly/AP Photo As altas temperaturas forçaram o adiamento da Parada do Orgulho LGBTQIA+, marcada para sábado em Paris, a pedido das autoridades, informaram os organizadores à AFP nesta sexta-feira (26). Paris, assim como a maior parte da França, enfrenta uma onda de calor intensa e prolongada esta semana, com temperaturas que rondam os 40°C. "A Parada está adiada; planejamos organizá-la em setembro, mas toda a equipe precisa se reunir para ver como podemos prosseguir", comentou Anouk Veyret, copresidente da Inter-LGBT. O prefeito de polícia de Paris, Patrice Faure, havia solicitado aos organizadores deste encontro anual LGBTQIA+ em Paris, assim como aos do festival Solidays, o cancelamento de ambos os eventos. "A onda de calor excepcional", que dura desde 21 de junho, "põe os serviços de emergência e os centros de saúde à prova", afirmou a Prefeitura, ameaçando proibir os eventos caso não fossem cancelados. Agora no g1 Os organizadores do Solidays anunciaram aos voluntários o cancelamento do festival de música, que esperava atrair cerca de 200 mil pessoas a Paris ao longo de três dias, segundo diversas fontes consultadas pela AFP. As medidas visam reduzir a pressão sobre os serviços de emergência e hospitais da capital, especialmente porque esta onda de calor lembra a de 2003, que deixou quase 15 mil mortos na França.

At last, an economic policy we can all get behind – doubling the royal family’s funding | Marina Hyde

But with rumours about a certain workshy Windsor circulating this week, are we actually encouraging joblessness with an overly generous safety net?

Finally, some part of our struggling state is getting a massive budget increase – and it’s not even the welfare bill, like normal. Or maybe it is? The monarchy’s core funding is going to double to £100m. Also mentioned under cover of the same info dump is the fact that the refurbishment of Buckingham Palace is currently coming in at £369m, but the King and Queen don’t want to live there when it’s done.

Personally, I’m a big fan of the gaiety the Windsors add to this nation, willingly or otherwise, but I do worry: are we enabling a culture of dependence that isn’t actually great for any of the people involved? Does the royal economy need rebalancing, if it is simply impossible to own an absolutely vast private network of land and high-end properties without somehow still needing a top-up from the state? You’ve heard of the poverty trap – will no one think of the royalty trap?
