Dear readers,
As the world rang in the New Year, New York rang the changes as Zohran Mamdani was sworn in as mayor at a brief ceremony in the old City Hall subway station. Mamdani, 34, is a member of the Democratic Socialist Party of America and one of the great global hopes of the left, who swept to power on the promise of free buses, childcare for all, and a rent freeze for rent-controlled apartments.
As we enter a new year, EL PAÍS took a look at the potential scenarios for the global economy in 2026, and the rush on silver, which has risen 150% over the past 12 months due to strong investor demand for safe-haven assets and limited supply.
We also spoke to German astrophysicist and Nobel Prize winner in Physics, Reinhard Genzel, who believes ‘humanity has lost a bit of its appreciation for the truth,’ interviewed Oona Chaplin about the latest ‘Avatar’ movie, and looked at the legacy of Brigitte Bardot, who passed away last weekend at the age of 91.
We hope you enjoy this selection of stories from EL PAÍS USA Edition.
