The vast forest zone and full-flowing water sources influence the climate, purify the air, and maintain the natural ecological balance of the Fenghuang Mountains. The special qualities of Feng Huang Dan Cong tea are formed by the growth of tea bushes in ecological conditions.

The usual amount of Feng Huang Dan Cong tea for an average teapot is 6-7 g, after the water has boiled, it is necessary to scald the teapot, and only after that pour tea into it. These are the most important points when brewing Feng Huang Dan Cong. nine0005

Spaniards rename streets named after the ex-king – DW – 09/07/2020

Dozens of municipalities across Spain are renaming their streets after former King Juan suspected of corruption . dw – with details.

In Spain, a campaign has begun to rename the streets of cities named after King Juan Carlos I, who from 19For 75 years he was the head of the Spanish state, and in 2014 he ceded the throne to his son, King Philip VI. True, this campaign does not concern all 637 municipalities where there are such streets, but only those where left-wing forces or regional nationalists are in power – Basque, Catalan, Valencian and Galician. They explain their actions with accusations of corruption, which have recently been heard against the ex-monarch. Both the allegations themselves and the renamings associated with them are controversial in Spanish society. nine0005

King’s Avenue renamed in honor of March 8

Vitoria, the capital of the Basque autonomy, became the pioneer of the renaming. Here, thanks to the efforts of nationalists – supporters of Basque independence – Juan Carlos I Avenue is now named after International Women’s Day. One of the central highways of Gijón, the most important city of Asturias, has also been renamed March 8 Street. The latest change was initiated by the left-wing populist Podemos party. She also carried out a similar decision regarding the avenue in the most ancient city of the country – Cadiz. nine0005

At the initiative of the Valencian nationalists, the old street names have disappeared in cities such as Puerto de Sagunto and Vila Hoyosa in the Valencian Autonomy, as well as in some smaller towns. The press reports that in the coming weeks, deputies from Podemos and nationalists in Santiago de Compostela, Logroño, Mostoles, Segovia, Vigo, Murcia, Zaragoza and so on will come up with the idea of ​​the same renaming.

Juan Carlos – not prosecuted but already guilty ?

Meanwhile, Juan Carlos, now 82, has not been formally charged, Carlos Pozo, professor of political science at the University of Madrid, told DW. And he recalled that the “newspaper reproaches” of corruption are based on the materials of the case of the former favorite of the king, German citizen Corinna Larsen. The Geneva prosecutor’s office became interested in the origin of her capital of 65 million dollars, placed in one of the Swiss banks. Larsen claims that the money was given to her by Juan Carlos, and the king got it from the Saudi monarch. nine0005 Juan Carlos I, now 82, left Spain under a hail of criticism.

Accusations circulated in the press that the former king allegedly received this money as a bribe for a contract for the construction of the Medina-Mecca railway, according to Carlos Pozo, are “absurd”. After all, the Saudis did not need to bribe anyone – the Spaniards achieved a profitable contract in the course of competition with construction companies from other countries.

And the money, according to the entourage of the former Spanish monarch, was presented to him by the late Saudi king Abdullah “as a sign of fraternal friendship”, moreover, long before the construction of the railway. This version, according to Pozo, looks plausible, given the long-standing ties of Juan Carlos with the Saudi dynasty.

The logic of supporters and opponents of renaming

However, such arguments do not convince supporters of renaming. “The former king does not deserve any respect, much less the streets in his honor,” Vicente Diaz, a member of the leadership of the Podemos branch of the province of Madrid, told DW. In his words, “the behavior of Juan Carlos as head of state was not ethical, he used his position for personal enrichment.” So Podemos intends to seek further name changes, Diaz assured. nine0005

Professor Poso disagrees with this position. He noted that the ruling Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE) opposes the renaming, not to mention the leading opposition parties: the center-right Citizen, the conservative People’s Party and the national conservative Voice Party. Pozo also explained the position of regional nationalists – supporters of the division of Spain, for whom the monarchy is “a symbol of the hated state unity.” As for “Podemos”, the professor added, “professing radical leftist ideas, she does not accept the monarchy as such.
