An impressive van attack in Italy

On the Rai, a spectacular attack by an armoured van. Cars set on fire, a motorway blocked for more than six hours. It was a real war operation that Italy faced on the morning of Thursday 4 July, near Brindisi. Ten bandits blew up an armoured van, recovering nearly 4 million euros. On site, military equipment and professional work. No one was injured. The ten men burned vehicles to ensure their escape. Since then, the police have deployed a major force to find them.

In Spain, the use of the army to block migrants is controversial. Their numbers have exploded. There are three times more than last year. Faced with the influx of illegal immigrant boats, the spokesperson for the right has thrown a spanner in the works. He wants to block this flow by using the army: “I am not saying anything absurd or barbaric. We have the armed forces to strengthen the control of our borders.”. Faced with his remarks, the left, in power, is indignant. To regulate these influxes, Spain is counting on the help of the European Union.

Far from all these tensions, a symbol of peace in Germany. A synagogue was inaugurated on Thursday, July 4, in Potsdam, a city of the former GDR southwest of Berlin, which had been without one for eighty-six years. The German president insisted on being present: “This magnificent building is a gift to us. I want to assure you that Germany remains a homeland for every Jew. I am personally committed to this.”. Since 1938 and the destruction of the original synagogue, Potsdam had been emptied of its Jews. They are back, about 800, as many as before the war.
