LISBON — In labor news, cabin crew for easyJet in Portugal have planned strike actions for October and December. The upcoming industrial action is scheduled to coincide with the long weekend resulting from the October 5 public holiday, potentially disrupting travel plans for passengers during that period.
Should be easy to get flights in October with the easyJet strikes lined up right during the public holiday weekend. Typical!
Shakira’s Madrid run is going to be epic! Finally getting to see her live after eight years away from the stage is a dream come true.
Romanian politics is always so chaotic after elections. I hope these three parties can actually work together instead of just posturing for votes.
I am still in shock about the school shooting. My heart goes out to the families affected by this senseless tragedy in the Philippines.
