🇵🇱🇪🇺 Poland gets the EU to admit that the right to asylum can be denied if a security risk can be proven!

EU leaders on Thursday rallied behind Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s threat to temporarily ban asylum for those coming from Russia or Belarus, warning Moscow not to weaponize migrant flows to destabilize European countries.

“Russia and Belarus, or any other country, cannot be allowed to abuse our values, including the right to asylum, and to undermine our democracies,” read a statement from the European Union’s 27 leaders following their meeting in Brussels.

The statement was a win for Tusk, who last week announced that Poland would temporarily suspend asylum rights for migrants headed to his country via its border with Belarus. The influx, he said, had been orchestrated by Russia as part of “hybrid warfare” tactics designed to destabilize Poland.

“Exceptional situations require appropriate measures,” the statement went on.

Tusk wanted the EU to back the idea that a country can invoke security reasons as justification for suspending asylum rights — and he got it.

“I have just come from a meeting with all the most important leaders and what I wanted to achieve, I achieved,” Tusk told journalists.

🇵🇪🇨🇳 Peru's Chinese-built mega port to soft launch in late November with Shanghai route

LIMA (Reuters) -Peru's massive Chancay port, which authorities hope will become a major shipping hub for South America-Asia trade, will ship two container ships a week beginning late next month, an executive for port operator Cosco Shipping said on Friday.

After the port's inauguration in mid-November, it will initially cover a direct route to Shanghai and then may ship to other points in the Asian market, depending on demand, said Carlos Tejada, general manager of Hong Kong-based Cosco's local subsidiary, Cosco Shipping Chancay Peru.

"At the end of November, we will begin the stage known as 'test conditioning,' which we expect to run until May. However, during this soft launch phase, we can already handle actual cargo, with two direct vessels per week," the executive told reporters following a Peruvian-Chinese business forum.

Tejada said that cabotage routes will be opened with smaller ships from Colombia, Ecuador and Chile, whose cargo will later be shipped to Asia from Chancay, initially in ships carrying up to 14,000 containers, which will then be progressively increased to larger vessels holding up to 24,000 containers.

Cosco Shipping Ports owns and will operate the port with a 60% stake, with the remaining 40% held by Peruvian miner Volcan, which is controlled by Glencore.

🇷🇺🇧🇷📝 — Russian President Vladimir Putin rules out attending G20 summit after Ukraine asks Brazil to arrest him, reports G1

➡️ Russian President Vladimir Putin said he will not attend the G20 summit in a month's time on Friday (18).

➡️ Four days after Ukraine's prosecutor general asked Brazilian authorities to comply with the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court in March 2023 if he attended the event, which will take place in Rio de Janeiro on November 18 and 19, Putin ruled out his participation:

"My possible visit would harm the work of the G20. Let's find out who will represent Russia."

➡️ Despite the ruling, the Russian president maintained the Kremlin's official position and stated that he does not recognize the International Criminal Court. He also said that Russia has "good relations with Brazil" and an agreement could be signed to "circumvent the verdict" since "such verdicts are easy to ignore."

🇪🇺❌💰 Europe seems to be preparing a war on Bitcoiners: higher cap gains on BTC in Italy, a proposed exit tax in The Netherlands, no mortgage in the UK if you made the money for your real estate in crypto (personal experience!), and now the ECB is telling no-coiners that Bitcoiners are keeping them poor. That last one is truly unbelievable: the early adopters were simply smarter (or spent more time on it) and willing to take more risk. Now they are getting villified for that. Very dangerous that these are words from the ECB, it sounds more like the communist Chinese Central Bank to me.

The Overton window is quickly shifting against Bitcoiners (and against wealthy people in general). I have heard from a number of people in The Netherlands who hold Bitcoin that they are getting a bit worried about the changing regulations. If Bitcoin should double or triple in 2025 I would not be surprised to see more politicians turning against BTC and trying to tax it excessively. Be prepared!
