Cubas terror network and its role in Russias war | Opinion
In Cuba, where vibrant streets hide daily struggles, the government silences its people and spreads trouble worldwide. For over 60 years, since the revolution, the regime has crushed free speech at home and backed violent groups abroad. Theres clear evidence that Cuba supports terrorism, yet many countries hesitate to act.

I onsdags har EU-kommissionen offentliggjort en rad förslag om gemensamma asylregler av restriktiv karaktär. Dessa förslag - om de någonsin blir verklighet - kan eventuellt leda till att det relativa asyltrycket mot Sverige minskas.Detta dock till priset av ännu mer överstatlighet: enligt förslaget ska EASO (European Asylum Support Office) få bedöma säkerhetsläget i asylsökandens ursprungsländer och sammanställa landinformation som blir obligatoriskt för medlemsstaterna att följa.
