esglobal es el primer medio digital en español para quienes están interesados en entender lo que ocurre en este mundo cada vez más complejo. No damos noticias; ofrecemos análisis y reflexión. Intentamos siempre descubrir el otro lado de las cosas, sorprender en el qué y en el cómo contamos lo que ocurre, y lo que podría ocurrir, tratando de anticipar tendencias, de exponer posibles consecuencias. Queremos complementar, de un modo más pausado, la avalancha de información que nos inunda el día a día.
Nuestro idioma es el español, aunque nuestros autores proceden de los lugares más diversos. Aspiramos a trasladar a nuestros lectores los diferentes modos de ver un mundo con realidades muy diversas, y a servir de altavoz a aquellos que quieren difundir sus ideas y su conocimiento en español.
A nuestros lectores les une una curiosidad global. Creemos en el intercambio abierto de opiniones –por algo somos un medio interactivo- siempre dentro del respeto a una discrepancia civilizada.
Heredera de Foreign Policy en español, esglobal es editada por la Fundación para las Relaciones Internacionales y el Diálogo Exterior (FRIDE).

On 13 January, by a large majority, the European Parliament in Strasbourg adopted a regulation that had little impact but which is bound to change the whole picture of GM crops in Europe.

Across the breadth of Europe, due to the broad social rejection of these crops, GM is virtually banned. But everything could change from now on.
