This is 18 years old and is not in fact as far as possible. One is what I want, but one is how I think it will be. This could be the case, i.e. a utopic performance: urban mobility, or sustainable urban mobility, is currently an area of great interest to me. It would be important to reduce the ownership of passenger cars in absolute terms, or to seek other improvements in the area of public transport, somehow undermining this symbolic value of cars. In other words, the fact that you have a car is no longer a status symbol, but only a functional thing, if any. However, it would be possible to abandon this functional aspect because it would have a well-organised and integrated public transport that is accessible to all. Even for the socially weaker; appropriate and accessible to all individuals, regardless of any discriminatory or marginalised group, such as persons with disabilities, other people with disabilities, children, the elderly, employees... public transport would serve all their needs, meaning that it should be fast and efficient, accurate, reliable, clean, comfortable and pleasant. You are happy to go to the bus to drive. Another issue is the integration into a wider system and at local level, and then in a certain area of Europe, but, at the same time, accessibility and rural environments and urban areas and, consequently, some relief and decentralisation of urban environments and, therefore, some general utopic satisfaction with the mode of movement. In addition to this more environmentally friendly public transport, this would mean: or some buses, trains, car-sharing shapes, in addition to walking and bikes of course, in order to have a good modality and a culture of walking and cycling in order to get more involved in our lives. That is, these means of transport would be more sustainable, of course as regards materials and all exhausts. That is to say, that is now a dissenting factor in the use of buses for a long period of time, including trains which have some exhausts and which operate by means of internal combustion, but are provided in repair and are used at all times, or the production of new, electrical ones. At the same time, there is a great deal of embedded carbon in these electrical parts because they are one of the new parts making up this massif, which produces very high carbon plus recycling of these parts at a very early stage and, in essence, we are not yet able to recycle them as efficiently as possible. In such a way that the utopic view would be to place the emphasis on the wheel, walking and then these shapes, which would be electrical for the time being, because it is also easier to generate electricity in more environmentally friendly ways. And trains and buses, salvages and those cars that would stay. Practically all means of transport that would still be accessible to all as well as to certain service providers. So I want it and I hope it will be. This is, in essence, an unrealistic idea because development is too slow, but rather in terms of development, not so much technological, but rather concerns about the development of the welfare state and the economy, because this still works to a great extent in such a way that things are profitable, including transport, is still seen as a way of earning, which should not be. Whereas public transport and public health, as well as education, must be at the service of and for people, as these are things that need to be available to the wider community. But how is it possible now? In particular, the focus is on education, educating younger people (in primary schools already, with some hours of teaching, dealing with understanding the care of a human being, reciprocity and this transition or understanding of a sustainable way of life). This is mainly because they are children who will grow up in the world and who will become adult people, and they are the ones who have to bear these changes and then integrate them everywhere throughout their lives. The school is not only an educational establishment, but also education. Because children bring some patterns from home, this is too little. When children learn something at home, they do so at home, but when they learn something at school, they bring home and can extend to their parents, grandchildren and midwives, and these networks can spread quickly and this is what is essential for any change and for a good Europe.

Home Without Fear: The Future I Imagine
When I look back on my younger days, I remember how unstable housing felt in my community. Families were always packing boxes because rent had gone up again. Neighbors squeezed into crowded apartments. People worked full-time yet still couldn’t afford a place they could truly call home. Those memories stayed with me, shaping the kind of future I hoped to see. And now, in 2040, I see that future taking shape around us. Our community has become a place where no one is pushed out because of their income. Public housing is clean, safe, and respected - something people are proud of, not ashamed of. Local governments listen carefully to the people they serve, involving us in decisions that affect our lives. Our neighborhoods are mixed and welcoming. Parks, schools, health services, and public transport are close to everyone, not just a lucky few. People stay, grow, and build their futures here without fear of losing their homes. This is the future I always imagined: a Europe where a good home isn’t a privilege, but a shared foundation for a fairer, stronger society. A future where housing is not a fight. It's a right.

An idealistic European future
Europe will have learnt from its past mistakes in terms of security and defence and economy. It will no longer be seen as a side partner with no real power when it comes to wars at its borders. It will be equipped and able to deter foreign threats, both military and online. While having strong foreign partnerships, it will no longer rely on third countries to provide it with rare materials, energy or manufacture critical products. It will have understood that companies are critical to its social welfare and adapted its regulations to European companies' needs. Energy and life costs will no longer be an issue for Europeans as there will have been investments in new nuclear technologies, incentives given to companies to produce in Europe in a simplified regulatory framework, taxation, social and labour costs will be harmonised and education will be again a strong pillar of the society.

#NuncaMás
¡Qué alivio que hemos dejado atrás los años 20 con toda esa sucesión de crisis entrelazadas que parecían imposibles de resolver! ¡Qué alivio que ya no tengamos que pensar si la democracia está en peligro o vivir en la permanente incertidumbre de si habrá un retroceso reaccionario de todo lo que nos costó tanto ganar! Igual que fuimos por fin conscientes de los límites físicos del planeta y la economía del dónut sucedió al capitalismo, también lo fuimos de los límites de nuestras democracias con debates multitudinarios que impidieron que (¡por fin!) se hicieran con el poder de nuevo crueles demagogos autoritarios que no creían en los valores de la democracia. No sé cómo podíamos vivir con esta angustia permanente... . Se acabaron las gerontocracias, las idiocracias, el tecnoauritarismo y la perpetuación en el poder. La IA ya no es un negocio privado de milmillonarios a los que (¡por fin!) se les obligó a repartir el 90% de su fortuna, como ya había sucedido en los años 50 del siglo pasado. Se ha puesto solo al servicio de la resolución de los grandes problemas del mundo. ¡Qué alivio también que el dinero ya no mueva el mundo! Todo esto fue posible porque se aprobó y puso en marcha en 2030 la Constitución de la Tierra de Ferrajoli, la carta magna que protegía todos nuestro problemas globales. La naturaleza de la que formamos parte y sin la cual no podemos vivir, está especialmente protegida. La Constitución da un marco para que todo se solucione diplomáticamente. Desde su aprobación se acabaron las guerras y los genocidas del pasado fueron juzgados con severidad. Ayer celebramos la fiesta del #NuncaMás. Si tengo que describir cómo es la vida ahora, la palabra que me sale es tranquila. Sin amenazas constantes a nuestra seguridad y bienestar, el día a día es plácido.
