Swiss food company Nestlé has dismissed its CEO Laurent Freixe with immediate effect just one year after he took office. Freixe was dismissed for having an undisclosed 'romantic relationship' with a female employee who reported directly to him, according to the company. The board of directors saw this as a clear violation of Nestlé's code of conduct and internal guidelines.

The REACH National Consultation Report for Greece presents the outcomes of a series of citizen dialogues held in Athens and Thessaloniki, culminating in a national consultation on 5 May 2025. Citizens from diverse backgrounds came together with experts and stakeholders to deliberate on the future of Greece and Europe, addressing key themes of rule of law, European integration, and environmental sustainability.

The report sets out ten policy proposals, ranging from Erasmus-style exchange programmes for schools and national media literacy initiatives to local youth environmental groups and a stronger focus on LGBTQIA+ rights in the curriculum. These recommendations reflect citizens’ aspirations for a more inclusive, transparent, and participatory Europe, while also highlighting national challenges and opportunities for change. The project has demonstrated the potential of citizen engagement to inspire policy at both national and European levels, offering innovative solutions and reinforcing trust in democratic institutions.

Ein US-Gericht hat gestern eine Zerschlagung von Google gestoppt. Tomaso Duso, Leiter der Abteilung Unternehmen und Märkte im DIW Berlin und Vorsitzender der Monopolkommission, äußert sich dazu wie folgt: 

Das Urteil im US-Kartellverfahren gegen Google markiert einen Wendepunkt in der globalen Debatte über die Macht der Tech-Giganten. Statt struktureller Maßnahmen gibt es lediglich Verhaltensauflagen, die Google zum Teilen von Daten und Algorithmen verpflichten. Das ist zwar besser als nichts, doch die Vergangenheit zeigt, wie schwer solche Auflagen zu überwachen und durchzusetzen sind. Ob den US-Behörden gelingt, wo Europa oft gescheitert ist, bleibt abzuwarten – die Aussichten sind nicht rosig.

Der mit dem Fall befasste Richter Amit Mehta verzichtete zudem darauf, die Zahlungen zu verbieten, mit denen Google sich Standardplatzierungen in Browsern und auf Smartphones sichert. Zwar wurden einige Einschränkungen eingeführt, doch das Urteil fällt weit milder aus, als vom US-Justizministerium gefordert. Kein Wunder also, dass der Markt dies als Sieg wertete: Der Aktienkurs von Google sprang um acht Prozent nach oben.

Zusammen mit der jüngsten Entscheidung der EU-Kommission, die Geldbuße gegen Google im Adtech-Verfahren auszusetzen, verdeutlicht dieses Urteil den deutlichen Wandel im politischen und regulatorischen Klima des vergangenen Jahres. Richter Mehta führte Generative KI als einen Faktor für diese Entwicklung an - damit hat er vielleicht  einen Punkt. Doch der Einfluss massiven Lobbyings mächtiger Unternehmen und einer zunehmend unternehmensfreundlichen Politik, die manche zynisch als „Wettbewerb ist etwas für Verlierer“ bezeichnen, ist nicht zu übersehen. Jetzt ist der Moment für klare Entscheidungen: Wie viel Marktmacht sind wir bereit zu akzeptieren – und zu welchem Preis für Wettbewerb, Innovation und Demokratie? Statt sich zurückzuhalten, sollte die EU-Kommission mutig vorangehen und den digitalen Markt fairer gestalten. Die Zeit zu handeln ist jetzt.

SANTIAGO, Sep 3 2025 (IPS)

In perspective, good news: world hunger is beginning to decline. The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2025 (SOFI 2025) reported a drop in the proportion of people suffering from hunger, from 8.5% in 2023 to 8.2% in 2024. Latin America and the Caribbean has played a pivotal role in this progress.

In 2024, undernourishment in the region affected 5.1% of the population, down from 6.1% in 2020–2021. Moderate or severe food insecurity fell significantly, from 33.7% in 2020 to 25.2% in 2024, the largest reduction recorded worldwide.

Even after crises such as the pandemic, rising inflation, and extreme climate events, progress is possible through sustained public policies, cooperation, investment, and strengthening the resilience of agrifood systems

Five countries in the region—Chile, Costa Rica, Guyana, Uruguay and now Brazil— no longer appear on the hunger map, thanks to coordinated policies in the areas of economy, health, education, agriculture, and social protection, a viable formula to tackle the structural determinants of hunger.

These figures demonstrate that, even after crises such as the pandemic, rising inflation, and extreme climate events, progress is possible through sustained public policies, cooperation, investment, and strengthening the resilience of agrifood systems.

This positive development should not hide an uncomfortable truth: these advances are not reaching everyone equally. SOFI 2025 points out that while some countries are reducing hunger, others face challenges such as increasing child stunting, overweight, and obesity. In the region, 141 million adults are obese, and 4 million children under the age of five are overweight.

The analysis of specific cases highlights contrasts: Colombia reduced hunger to 3.9% with territorial policies and support for family farming, while the Dominican Republic cut the indicator by more than 17 percentage points in two decades with a multisectoral approach.

However, progress is not always uniform. Panama and Guatemala, although reducing hunger, continue to struggle with the challenge of malnutrition. Ecuador and El Salvador face a similar paradox: while hunger is decreasing, moderate and severe food insecurity is on the rise.

In Venezuela, hunger fell to 5.9%, but the pressure of food inflation persists. Mexico has reduced its figures to 2.7%, although adult overweight reached 36% in 2022, above the regional average. In Argentina, while hunger remains at low levels (3.4%), there has been an increase in child overweight and adult obesity.

Unfortunately, the Caribbean remains the greatest challenge. Some 17.5% of the population is undernourished, and the cost of a healthy diet reaches 5.48 PPP dollars per person per day. Haiti is facing one of the world’s most severe crises: 54.2% of its population suffers from hunger. This is not only an alarming statistic; it is an urgent call to strengthen greater cooperation and investment in the region’s most fragile context.

SOFI 2025 concludes that the countries that have reduced hunger under adverse circumstances in Latin America and the Caribbean share common approaches. These include strong and well-targeted social protection systems capable of cushioning crises; and integrated policies that strengthen local production, inclusive value chains, and market access, support family farming, and promote environmental sustainability.

Added to this are productive diversification, climate resilience measures to withstand extreme events, and open and stable trade to ensure supply and moderate price volatility; as well as coordination among institutions and levels of government to align investments, and data and monitoring systems that anticipate and respond quickly to crises.

These experiences show that a combination of political will, strategic investment, and evidence-based management can reverse hunger—even in an uncertain global environment.
