En recuerdo de Victoria Nauda
Con mucho dolor asistí al funeral de Victoria Nauda. Los dos tuvimos un entendimiento de amistad y respeto a pesar de algunas diferencias. Recuerdo con gran cariño cuando me solicitó que presentara en L´Obra Cultural Balear su libro ¿Qué hemos hecho?, donde narra los entresijos de Podem Balears desde sus entrañas.

Violence, Insecurity, and Religiosity: A Multilevel Analysis of 71 Countries
A large social science literature demonstrates a link between personal insecurity and religiosity. When individuals are healthy, literate, and gainfully employed, they tend to be less religious. One of the most fundamental threats to an individual is the risk of violence, but this important marker of insecurity has been unexplored in recent studies of the determinants of religiosity.
