#Irán vive desde hace dos semanas una oleada de protestas ciudadanas que claman por el fin de la República Islámica y que están siendo duramente reprimidas por el régimen. Javier Gil Guerrero, investigador del @ICS_unav, analiza #En5Tuits las causas y posibles consecuencias.
@ICS_unav "La ausencia de una oposición legitimada y organizada dentro del país, así como de fracturas dentro del régimen, sumadas al uso continuado de la fuerza contra la población y al apoyo de Rusia y China, dificultan un cambio político profundo en Irán".
@ICS_unav "La República Islámica ha pasado de ser un régimen instaurado con el respaldo masivo de la ciudadanía a uno que sobrevive con violencia ante un hartazgo mayoritario de la población, como demuestran no solo estas protestas sino también la baja participación en las elecciones".
La Universidad comienza la construcción del Centro Bioma.
Diseñado por Patxi Mangado, el edificio de más de 20.000 m2 será un espacio multidisciplinar que integra zonas para la docencia, la investigación, y la divulgación y educación de la ciencia.

La detención de Nicolás Maduro ha abierto un horizonte incierto en Venezuela. Que Washington mantenga a Delcy Rodríguez deja al chavismo prácticamente como estaba, pero sí condiciona sus próximos pasos. @ejBlasco, profesor de RR.II. en @derecho_unav, lo explica #En5Tuits.
@ejBlasco @derecho_unav "A esta, a pesar del golpe inicial de no poder hacer efectivo el triunfo electoral de 2024, puede resultarle beneficioso no haber sido la carta que Trump pone sobre la mesa. A Machado le conviene no aparecer como títere de Washington".
@ejBlasco @derecho_unav "La única transición posible es que el chavismo, ya sin Maduro, acepte caminar hacia elecciones libres. Pero intuidos los intereses de Trump, hay riesgo de que no presione lo suficiente y la oposición sienta la frustración de otra campaña electoral cuesta arriba y sin garantías".
