Bruselas se preocupó por un “efecto dominó Brexit”. En realidad, sucedió lo contrario.En los cinco años a partir de 2016, el centrismo francés hizo brotar un nuevo partido político liderado por Emmanuel Macron que sofocó al Frente Nacional. La renuncia de Angela Merkel se aprobó sin fanfarrias populistas y entregó un sucesor moderado. Mario Draghi, el tecnócrata por excelencia, se deslizó sin problemas del Banco Central Europeo al cargo de primer ministro de Italia. España incluso se fue a la izquierda.Hubo valores atípicos: Jaroslaw Kaczynski en Polonia y Viktor Orban en Hungría c...

You can’t feel like anything is given.”Scott McLaughlin finished second. Pato O’Ward, who along with Newgarden won in last season’s doubleheader at Iowa, was third, and Marcus Ericsson fini...
