  • Spain’s independent fiscal authority (AIReF) estimates that in 2017 non‑European immigrants had a positive net annual fiscal contribution of about €4,200, mainly because they’re younger and draw fewer pensions in the short run.

    Also, the ‘half a million’ you mention is being discussed as a régularisation, not necessarily 500k new arrivals overnight.

  • I’ve really not enjoyed the last Astérix, having grown up with the Goscinny ones. To be honest, I haven’t read this one, but I’m planning to. Not expecting much to be honest, but thanks for the review nonetheless !

    Goscinny of course had master class puns, and I mean in french it’s just perfection. But maybe it’s further than that. He had great timing and tempo in storytelling, that the newer albums clearly have lost. They try nowadays to take the spirit of making jokes using modern situations, which can work but this mostly falls flat imo. It’s like writing satire and being witty isn’t as easy as it sounds !
