Despite winning the much hyped presidential election, Burkina Faso ruling party for the elected leader Roch Marc Christian Kaboré, Mouvement du people MPP fail to clinch majority of the parliamentary seats in the just concluded election. The electoral commission announced that the ruling party only obtained 56 seat and therefore does not reach the absolute majority of 64 seats, out of a total of 127. Kabore’s party which won the recently concluded election in the first round with 57.87%, can however obtain this majority through a coalition with other minor allied parties. Political analysts now point at possible union between Kabores’s party and the New Times party that belongs to current Minister of Transport, Vincent Dabilgou, which supported his candidacy. It can also count on other small parties, such as the Union for the Renaissance / Sankarist Party that clinched 5 seats, the RPI with 3 seats and the PDC that has 3 seats. The Congress for Democracy and Progress (CDP), the party of former President Blaise Compaoré, driven out of power October in 2014 after 27 years in power, became the second political force with 20 seats. Its candidate, Eddie Komboïgo, came second in the November presidential election with 15.48% of the vote. https://ift.tt/2Vuuj5j

https://ift.tt/3qSH1Ig Nos encontramos ante un contexto económico y empresarial sin precedentes en nuestra historia moderna . La crisis provocada por la pandemia ha hecho que el Gobierno se haya visto obligado a poner en marcha una serie de medidas con el fin de preservar la financiación de pymes y autónomos y evitar que una crisis de liquidez pueda poner en riesgo su viabilidad, entre las que destacan los créditos ICO . Sin embargo, la banca no lo está poniendo nada fácil . Según las últimas estadísticas del Banco de España , correspondientes al mes de enero de 2021, la TAE de las nuevas operaciones de financiación de cuantía inferior a los 250.000 euros, que se suele asociar con las pymes y los autónomos, se situó en enero en el 3,48 por ciento TAE, casi un punto más que en el mes de diciembre de 2020 (2,55 por ciento TAE). Este repunte se explica fundamentalmente por un mayor volumen de comisiones aplicadas en los préstamos y créditos bancarios. De hecho, el TEDR (la TAE excluyen...

Colorado High School Coach Says He Was Forced to Resign Because He’s Gay

https://ift.tt/Oj01b3 Colorado high school students are demonstrating in support of Inoke Tonga, a volleyball coach who claims he was forced to resign from his job because of his sexuality.  According to the  Denver Post , Tonga left his position at Valor Christian High School in Highlands Ranch, where he had coached the volleyball team during the 2020-2021 school year. The coach said he intended to continue his role for the upcoming season, but was essentially pressured to leave his job after school administrators found out he was gay through his social media activity. Tonga says administrators had called him in for a meeting, in which they expressed their concerns over his sexuality and the affect it may have on the students. “I sat in the room being grilled about how being gay is a ‘danger’ to the school and to the kids,” Tonga wrote on Instagram. “That with me ‘identifying as a gay man, they can’t put the kids at risk by having me in front of them.’” He cont...
