“No estamos en guerra pero no debemos dejar a Rusia ganar”, dijo el jefe de estado francés, en una entrevista con la TF 1 a las 8 de la noche, a la hora de la cena de los franceses.
“Después de algunos años vivimos un mundo donde lo impensable sucede. La guerra esta en el suelo europeo. No es una ficción ni está lejos de nosotros” alertó Macron.

“Yo asumo evocar esta posibilidad.Nosotros hemos puesto demasiados limites en nuestro vocabulario.Nosotros no somos en la escalada. Nosotros no estamos en guerra pero no podemos dejarlo ganar” declaró.
La situación en Ucrania
“La contraofensiva ucraniana no ha pasado como estaba prevista. La situación es difícil para los ucranianos.Ellos tienen limites en términos de hombres porque Rusia es un gran país” dijo el jefe de estado.

“La vida de los franceses cambiarán si Rusia gana», alertó Macron. «Nosotros no tendremos más seguridad en Europa. La credibilidad de Europa será reducida a cero. ¿Cuál será la seguridad de los europeos?”.
Francia y Gran Bretaña son los países europeos con poder nuclear. “Nuestra capacidad nuclear nos da una seguridad, cuando Putin ha evocado varias veces la amenaza nuclear. Nosotros nos debemos sentir particularmente protegidos”. continuó.
“Nosotros no tenemos una industria defensa adaptada a una guerra de alta intensidad territorial que no está en ninguno de nuestros pronósticos” dijo Macron.
“No es apropiado proferir amenazas cuando uno tiene el arma nuclear”, dijo Macron , en respuesta a las amenazas de Putin.

“Nosotros debemos sentirnos protegidos porque somos una fuerza nuclear.Nosotros estamos listos, tenemos una doctrina. En materia nuclear hay pocas palabras, es un instrumento de seguridad” .
“Rusia es un adversario”.”El régimen del Kremlin es nuestro adversario”. aseguró.

Serbian lawmakers throw smoke grenades, tear gas in parliament
Chaos erupted in Serbia’s parliament on Tuesday with opposition lawmakers setting off smoke grenades and tear gas to protest the government and support demonstrating students.
At least three lawmakers were injured, with one in critical condition after suffering a stroke, further fueling political tensions in the landlocked Balkan country, which is located at the crossroads of Southeast and Central Europe.
Video footage from the assembly hall showed a clash first between lawmakers and later flares and smoke bombs being thrown. Serbian media said eggs and water bottles were also hurled. Hundreds of opposition supporters rallied outside the parliament building during the session.

SERBIA ROCKED BY ANTI-CORRUPTION PROTESTS AFTER CONSTRUCTION TRAGEDY
The ugly scenes stem from a fatal collapse of a canopy at a railway station in November. The incident sparked mass protests as demonstrators demanded justice and accountability for the tragedy.
Many in Serbia believe the fatal canopy collapse was the result of sloppy work and a disregard for safety regulations because of government corruption. The canopy at the railway station collapsed after renovations led by two Chinese companies.
The protests led to the resignation of Serbian Prime Minister Milos Vucevic in January. The prime minister’s resignation made him the highest regime official to step down, but it hasn’t quelled the uprising and mass protests have continued in Belgrade and across the country.
Parliament must still confirm the prime minister’s resignation for it to take effect.
At the legislative session on Tuesday, lawmakers were scheduled to vote on a law that would increase funding for university education, a key demand by student protesters.

But opposition parties said the ruling majority was also planning to approve dozens of other decisions. They said this was illegal and that lawmakers should first confirm the resignation of Vucevic and his government.
After the ruling coalition led by the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) approved the agenda, some opposition politicians ran out of their seats towards the parliamentary speaker and scuffled with security guards.
Others tossed smoke grenades and tear gas, with black and pink smoke rising inside the parliament, which has also witnessed brawls and the throwing of water in the decades since the introduction of multi-party democracy in 1990.
As the session continued, ruling coalition politicians debated while opposition lawmakers whistled and blew horns.
Opposition deputies also held signs reading «general strike,» and «justice for the killed,» while outside the building protesters stood in silence to honor 15 people killed by a railway station roof collapse.
Parliament speaker Ana Brnabic accused the opposition of being a «terrorist gang.» The ruling coalition says Western intelligence agencies are trying to destabilize Serbia and topple the government by backing the protests.

The government has tried to evade scrutiny by downplaying the government’s culpability in the collapse at the station. At first, the government tried to ignore the protests, then began to use force and accused the protests of being infiltrated by foreign agitators.
Some observers complained that the Vucic government’s failure to act and provide clear answers to the public is endemic to Serbia’s core institutional corruption.
Meanwhile, protest leaders called for a major rally in the capital Belgrade on March 15.

Department of Education clarifies school DEI guidelines, saying Black History Month doesn’t violate order
The Department of Education clarified that observances such as Black History Month are not in violation of an order warning state education departments that they must remove diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies or risk losing federal funding.
The guidance came after the Department of Education Office for Civil Rights sent a letter to the departments of education in all 50 states in mid-February notifying them of a Feb. 28 deadline to comply with the order.
«Title VI prohibits recipients of federal funding from discriminating on the basis of race, color, or national origin,» the guidance reads, adding «Schools may not operate policies or programs under any name that treat students differently based on race, engage in racial stereotyping, or create hostile environments for students of particular races.
«For example, schools with programs focused on interests in particular cultures, heritages, and areas of the world would not in and of themselves violate Title VI, assuming they are open to all students regardless of race,» the guidance continued. «Nor would educational, cultural, or historical observances – such as Black History Month, International Holocaust Remembrance Day, or similar events – that celebrate or recognize historical events and contributions, and promote awareness, so long as they do not engage in racial exclusion or discrimination.»

«Whether a policy or program violates Title VI does not depend on the use of specific terminology such as ‘diversity,’ ‘equity,’ or ‘inclusion,’» the guidance, dated Feb. 28, also said.
The letter in February from Craig Trainor, the acting assistant secretary for civil rights in the Department of Education, said, «Educational institutions have toxically indoctrinated students with the false premise that the United States is built upon ‘systemic and structural racism’ and advanced discriminatory policies and practices.»
«Proponents of these discriminatory practices have attempted to further justify them—particularly during the last four years—under the banner of «diversity, equity, and inclusion» («DEI»), smuggling racial stereotypes and explicit race-consciousness into everyday training, programming, and discipline,» he wrote.

«All educational institutions are advised to: (1) ensure that their policies and actions comply with existing civil rights law; (2) cease all efforts to circumvent prohibitions on the use of race by relying on proxies or other indirect means to accomplish such ends; and (3) cease all reliance on third-party contractors, clearinghouses, or aggregators that are being used by institutions in an effort to circumvent prohibited uses of race,» Trainor concluded. «Institutions that fail to comply with federal civil rights law may, consistent with applicable law, face potential loss of federal funding.»
The letter comes after President Donald Trump signed executive orders directing agencies to provide a plan to eliminate federal funding for «illegal and discriminatory treatment and indoctrination in K-12 schools, including based on gender ideology and discriminatory equity ideology.» He also signed orders to end DEI programs in federal agencies.

The Department of Education previously announced the removal of mention of DEI from documents and websites. The department also placed employees who led DEI initiatives on leave and dissolved its Diversity & Inclusion Council.
