@pvonhellermannn Okay! For Family reasons I will fly tonight from MUC to BCN. Costs me ~€80. Taking the train, which I normally do, would have been ~€500 (!!!!!)They have been building for €xxxx Mio a high speed track from Barcelona to the French border and there are exactly 2 - in words TWO - international trains circulating per day from Spain to France on this track.. So what are they doing about that: they discuss to enlarge the BCN airport at the expense of a natural reserve.

One day, it won’t just be hospital staff who are exhausted for years, but #firefighters too. We have absolutely no idea how traumatic it must be on duty during #wildfires. And not only firefighters: all helpers in such situations.
