A start to the year full of uncertainties
With the arrival of 2025, the world is facing a new chapter full of promises, resolutions and, of course, uncertainties that generate anxiety. The magic of the new year makes us dream of a better world, with peace as the norm and the solution to diseases as an imminent reality. However, expectations are often illusory, and the truth is that a complex panorama awaits us.
Trump’s return and its implications
Donald Trump’s eventual return to the presidency of the United States promises to be a significant turning point. History has shown that former leaders with a strong sense of revenge can bring about drastic changes. With his social platforms at his fingertips, Trump is poised to draw on his past experiences and implement a new strategy that could radically alter the political and economic landscape.
Effects on the global economy
The climate of trade tensions could intensify, with an increase in tariff wars. The concept of democracy will become an increasingly abstract notion, and its repercussions will be felt in local areas, such as Penedès. Distant economic operations will directly affect our reality, with price increases linked to political decisions that seem distant.
The absurdity of the new political discourse
2025 may be the year when new words will be needed to describe the absurdity that surrounds us. The use of terms like ‘incredible’ becomes insufficient in the face of discourses that promote ‘alternative truths’ and threaten press freedom. Society will have to confront a new reality in which what once seemed unthinkable is now commonplace.
Creativity in times of crisis
Despite adversity, we must not lose hope. History shows that the strangest moments can inspire a wave of creativity and innovation. Thus, in the midst of chaos, a new way of seeing things can emerge that helps us overcome the challenges that lie ahead.
