With the bombings in Ukraine, millions of people have sought refuge all over Europe: mainly in Poland, but also in Germany, the Czech Republic and Italy. Compared to its eastern neighbours, the Netherlands has been much less confronted with the arrival of asylum seekers. And yet, the 62,000 Ukrainian refugees officially registered in the kingdom are at the heart of heated discussions. In The Hague, Antoine Mouteau.

In Catalonia, in the northeast ofSpain, the question of identity is often linked to that of language. And at school, the question is controversial. The region has just approved a decree to prevent schools from being sanctioned if they do not include Spanish in their classrooms. A way of circumventing the legislation which requires that at least 25% of the courses be taught in this language. The details ofElise Gazengel.
