Today, the globalized world is now lucidly aware of what COVID-19 (Coronavirus) had brought; it has made us all cease, to a hault; it is as if it had put an indefinite pause in our lives. It is clear that we are facing a costly reality, with human, economic and social consequences that nobody dared to predict less than three months ago , given the changing stages that the COVID19 pandemic offers us in each country and their states’ respective responses.

En Irlanda, el sábado 8 de febrero se celebraron elecciones para los representantes de la Cámara de los Diputados; y, sorprendentemente, el Sinn Fein, el partido revolucionario, históricamente afín al I.R.A. (Irish Republican Army) ha ganado las elecciones con un 24,5% de los votos, por delante de los dos partidos que han dominado la política del país en los últimos años, como son el Fine Gael (partido de derechas, conservador y democristiano), con un 20,9% del apoyo; y el Fianna Fáil (partido republicano y conservador entre el centro y el centro derecha), con un 22,2% del apoyo de los votos. Hubo una participación del 62.9%, un 2.2% menos que en el año 2016. El I.R.A nació del conflicto que aún sigue existiendo por la independencia de Irlanda del Norte, cuya capital es Belfast, una de las ciudades más castigadas por este conflicto latente. Este surgió en el año 1921, momento en que Gran Bretaña concede la soberanía a Irlanda , pero se reserva la parte del Norte, que queda bajo...
