| Proposal to Scrap Chinas Term Limits Could Allow President Xi Jinping to Stay in Office | ||
|
(BEIJING) — China’s ruling Communist Party has proposed scrapping term limits for the country’s president, the official news agency said Sunday, appearing to lay the groundwork for party leader Xi Jinping to rule as president beyond 2023. Xi, 64, cemented his status as the most powerful Chinese leader since Mao in the 1970s at last year’s twice-a-decade Communist Party congress, where his name and a political theory attributed to him were added to the party constitution as he was given a second five-year term as general secretary. |

| efe’s YouTube Videos: La “España rural” en riesgo de despoblación | ||
|
Madrid, 24 feb (EFE).- (Imagen: Pedro Pablo Pérez) El mundo rural en España está en peligro de extinción, con miles de municipios abocados a la despoblación total, una lacra contra la que resisten sus últimos moradores con el apoyo de un puñado de extranjeros dispuestos a correr riesgos.
El 80 por ciento de la población española vive en sólo el 20 por ciento del territorio, la mayoría ciudades grandes y medianas, lo que implica que más de 4.000 pueblos padezcan problemas serios de despoblación, según la Federación Española de Municipios y Provincias (FEMP). Con la organización en junio pasado del Congreso Nacional sobre Despoblación, el problema se hizo un hueco en la agenda política y la FEMP abanderó la lucha por una ley específica con dotación económica para frenar el abandono de las zonas rurales.
