From Fridays to the future: The uncertain trajectory of environmental activism in Europe

Mexico’s thin blue line: Federal police and the new National Guard
In June, Mexico’s president inaugurated the Guardia Nacional (National Guard), a militarised police force tasked with addressing growing gang violence.
