On his 80th birthday, show legend Frank Elstner ventures into unfamiliar territory. It is not he who is asking the questions this time, but: Anke Engelke, Jan Böhmermann, Barbara Schöneberger, Michelle Hunziker, Thomas Gottschalk, Günther Jauch and Jean-Claude Juncker.
The film shines a light onto federal chancellor Angela Merkel and her now ending 16-year-long tenure. An era, not an episode. And a vagarious relationship history between the chancellor and the Germans. Who has changed whom here?
Too high, misused, unfair... a large part of the French and Europeans criticize taxes. From tax-rascal to tax revolt, the movement of yellow vests in France has returned to the center of attention the question of consent to tax. How to explain a different resistance to taxes from one country to another without tax pressure being an explanation? Is there a "good" tax? Jean Quatremer takes us on a journey to the tax center across Europe, to meet those who pay it, those who decide it, those who study it... or those who allow to avoid it.
A serious crisis has shaken Spain since the referendum on self-determination and the proclamation of the independence of Catalonia by the government of Carles Puigdemont, bold actions firmly fought by the Spanish government by applying the constitutional article that allows it to place a region under guardianship. While Spain is on the verge of implosion, Europe is holding its breath.
Actualmente Grecia está padeciendo unas condiciones que ningún europeo posterior a la 2ª Guerra Mundial jamás habría podido imaginar que sufriría de nuevo. Gente sin hogar, comedores sociales, desempleo, pobreza, violentos conflictos y el auge de la extrema derecha. El sueño de prosperidad se ha convertido en una pesadilla y el escenario político de las últimas cuatro décadas se está desmoronando. El realizador Yorgos Avgeropoulos enfoca la cámara hacia su país; registra el desarrollo de la crisis desde sus etapas iniciales, al tiempo que rastrea su impacto sobre la vida de la gente. Es testigo de protestas populares en las calles, el desarrollo de movimientos solidarios y también la subida del fascismo, mientras busca respuestas de las personalidades políticas más importantes de Grecia, expertos, analistas y aquellos en la escena política internacional que toman las decisiones clave.
