Starmer encara a Netanyahu y vira la postura británica sobre la guerra en Gaza • FRANCE 24

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pwsRdksqLE)

Esta edición de Enlace está dedicada a Reino Unido, donde el Gobierno del laborista Keir Starmer, en el poder desde julio pasado, ha dado un giro en la política frente a la guerra en Gaza. De entrada, Starmer, un abogado especialista en Derechos Humanos, anunció la  suspensión de 30 contratos de venta de armas británicas a Israel, por “la posibilidad de delitos de lesa humanidad”, descongeló millonarios recursos británicos para la Agencia de Naciones Unidas para la población palestina refugiada (UNRWA) y descartó el veto a una eventual orden de captura del primer ministro israelí, Benjamin Netanyahu, por parte de la Corte Penal Internacional.

8 BRICS Citizenships and Residences to Escape the West

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cz7GJfYXosI)

In this video, we reveal citizenship and residence programs in eight BRICS member states that offer entrepreneurs and investors alternatives to living, investing and doing business in the West. Mr. Henderson’s breaks down advantages and disadvantages of these programs when it comes to taxes, banking, global mobility and freedom. Mr. Henderson also touches on residence and citizenship programs in future BRICS members states, and he discusses alternative countries that are neither aligned with BRICS, nor with the West.

00:00 West vs BRICS Citizenship and Residence

02:56 India and China

03:58 Russia

04:13 Brazil

05:47 South Africa

Transkripzioa:

West vs BRICS Citizenship and Residence

0:00

more and more westerners are telling us

0:02

they think their country is going in the

0:04

wrong direction and they want an

0:07

alternative Western countries have more

0:09

and more chaos more and more

0:10

geopolitical friction more and more high

0:13

taxes and regulations with no end in

0:16

sight and while the bricks countries may

0:18

not be a perfect alternative they are an

0:21

alternative and today I’m going to walk

0:22

you through residents and citizenship

0:24

options in the bricks Alliance

0:30

and at the end of the episode I’m

0:31

actually going to tell you about some

0:32

non- bricks countries that emulate some

0:34

of the parts that westerners might like

0:36

about brics countries why might you want

0:38

a residence permit or citizenship in a

0:41

bricks country well quite frankly

0:43

because you feel like the West is going

0:44

in the wrong direction and you would

0:46

like to have a plan B in a place that is

0:49

different there’s nothing wrong with

0:50

wanting to have citizenship in a

0:53

European Union country if that’s where

0:54

your ancestors came from and you qualify

0:56

for citizenship by descent you can be

0:59

American and say I want to get my polish

1:01

citizenship and now me and my family

1:03

have options all throughout Europe

1:05

nothing wrong with that but what a lot

1:07

of people look at is they look at hey

1:09

there’s nowhere to go because I live in

1:11

Canada and the US and the UK aren’t much

1:13

better right you need to look at places

1:14

that are substantially different I’m not

1:17

saying you’ve got to move there I’m not

1:18

saying you’ve got to put all your money

1:20

there I’m not saying you’ve got to put

1:21

all your hopes on that country but if

1:23

you had a residence permit or a

1:25

citizenship in a country that was in

1:27

bricks or had those features what would

1:29

you do well you’d have geopolitical and

1:31

currency diversification what are you

1:33

seeing countries around the world are

1:35

pushing back on new manufacturing hubs

1:37

China is obviously a well-known

1:39

manufacturing Hub but you don’t hear

1:41

much about some of the smaller ones

1:42

Vietnam obviously is up and coming they

1:44

got into a spat with the US recently you

1:47

you’re seeing even in places like

1:49

Cambodia was reading about you know

1:50

Malaysia’s becoming a bigger hop we’ve

1:52

talked about turkey over the years I was

1:53

even reading about banin in West Africa

1:56

one of the biggest cotton exporters and

1:58

now they’re trying to do more value ad

2:00

manufacturing and so what are you seeing

2:02

the west and the so-called Global South

2:05

aren’t getting along as well and so when

2:08

you see you know the US wants to ban Tik

2:10

Tok well what’s China going to do ban us

2:12

businesses we run a global business at

2:14

Nomad capitalist I don’t only sell to

2:17

America it’s far far from it and that

2:19

means no matter what happens our

2:21

business can keep going even if there’s

2:22

a recession in the US or the US decides

2:25

hey we don’t want to allow dual

2:26

citizenship anymore we’re going to make

2:27

it harder I can still on my business if

2:30

your business is only selling to one

2:32

place and you’re only collecting money

2:33

in one currency not just is that a

2:35

Financial Risk increasingly I see a

2:38

geopolitical risk as this bricks effect

2:40

takes hold and more countries say we

2:42

don’t want to put up with your terms and

2:43

conditions the way we used to obviously

2:45

having access to other currencies having

2:47

access to open bank accounts in other

2:49

places having access to diversify and

2:51

just an alternative to what some are

2:53

calling the woke West so let’s get into

2:55

it let’s start with India and China two

2:57

of the original five members of bricks

2:59

basically out of the question in terms

3:02

of residence and citizenship now if you

3:03

get a job in China you can get a

3:04

residence permit we’re not talking about

3:06

that we’re talking about optionality for

3:08

entrepreneurs and investors who don’t

3:10

want to necessarily move to the country

3:12

but they want the option to move there

3:14

if time gets tough or they just want the

3:16

option to hey as a resident or a citizen

3:18

I can open a bank account and I’ve got a

3:20

different place to park my money I may

3:21

not park my money there now but I can in

3:24

the future these are two countries that

3:25

are tough if you’re of Indian origin

3:27

look at getting your oci obviously China

3:30

has Hong Kong its own S I think banking

3:33

there could be potentially interesting

3:35

they do have a residence program now

3:37

back on the table in Hong Kong with the

3:39

CES uh but that is a rather Niche

3:42

program for most folks it certainly is

3:44

an expensive program I’m not convinced

3:46

you always have to be a resident to have

3:47

a bank account we’re working with our

3:49

vendors in Hong Kong there’s always some

3:50

new banking option available and that

3:53

can be one to look at from the asset

3:54

protection standpoint uh but India and

3:57

China largely off the table Russia one

3:58

of the other original f we’ve covered

4:00

that with their anti-woke Visa they also

4:03

have a golden Visa Russian citizenship

4:05

relatively toxic these days if you want

4:07

to bank or do other business outside of

4:09

the Western Financial system so that’s

4:11

obviously been a change in the last two

4:12

and a half years Brazil not a tax

4:15

friendly place to live but a good

4:16

residence program and they do have a

4:18

residence program if you’re willing to

4:20

invest uh if you are willing to marry a

4:23

Brazilian if you’re willing to have a

4:24

child in Brazil or adopt a child from

4:27

Brazil you can get citizenship in as

4:28

little as one year plus about a year to

4:30

process that there is a time commitment

4:32

to be there in the ground but when you

4:34

can get citizenship souped To Nuts in as

4:36

little as 2 years or uh as an investor

4:39

if you wanted to spend time there it’s

4:40

going to be a couple years longer uh one

4:42

of the most neutral passports so an

4:44

alternative to Russia where it’s very

4:46

not neutral Brazil nobody really a beef

4:49

for the Brazilians very high quality

4:51

passport travel to the UK travel to

4:53

Europe travel to Russia travel to Asia

4:56

obviously you can travel all over South

4:57

America which I think for people who are

4:59

looking for Alterna to the West I mean

5:00

one of the lowest populated land masses

5:03

in the world is South America I mean

5:05

it’s a very small percentage of the

5:06

world’s population for having so much

5:08

land good land aable land so people who

5:11

are looking at kind of that plan B

5:13

Brazil could be an option you can get

5:15

the residence permit you can work

5:17

towards that citizenship and people like

5:19

the lifestyle they like the social

5:21

lifestyle you’ve got good quality Health

5:23

Care in some parts of the country so Pao

5:25

is the New York of Brazil I’ve got some

5:27

friends who absolutely love it there and

5:30

then you got friends who like uh the

5:32

safer Parts like down in the South

5:33

Florianopolis for example comes up and

5:35

so Brazil could be an interesting place

5:37

to have a to I think South America in

5:39

general is and again I’m going to come

5:40

back to how you can replicate some of

5:42

these bricks features without actually

5:44

going to the limited number of countries

5:45

in bricks in a minute South Africa was

5:48

looking at very affordable waterfront

5:49

property with a friend of mine the other

5:50

day from Cape Town in Cape Town I would

5:54

not want that passport I’ve advised a

5:57

few friends of mine to not go back

5:58

through their family and get that

6:00

passport because of the whole financial

6:02

expatriation they have there it’s not at

6:04

the level of the US yet but I have some

6:06

concerns about South Africa’s taxes I

6:08

would look at other African passports uh

6:10

and I think you have Egypt now with its

6:12

citizenship by investment program you’ve

6:14

got one candidate running in Ghana who

6:16

says they should offer a a cheap

6:17

citizenship by investment there’s other

6:19

ways to get African passports we’re

6:21

constantly looking into new ways and

6:23

we’re going to talk about some of those

6:24

actually uh at Nomad cish live our 4-day

6:28

annual event you want to get on the

6:29

waiting list for nomad capital.com

6:33

slive but South Africa is the one I

6:35

would skip so there’s kind of five main

6:37

original members I think Brazil is

6:39

interesting for a number of reasons the

6:42

taxes there are certainly not the most

6:44

friendly so if you’re living there full

6:45

time that’s going to be a challenge but

6:47

if you if you have an option there if

6:48

you’ve got a residence permit uh that

6:51

could be a reasonable way to diversify

6:53

into the original bricks and what I

6:56

would encourage you to do is to learn

6:58

from people who live in these countries

7:00

learn from people who come to these

7:01

countries uh they could be good places

7:03

to live have a residence permit or

7:05

invest uh we had a gentleman named vsy

7:07

from South Africa speak at the last

7:09

Nomad capitalist live and he talked

7:10

about all the opportunities in Africa

7:13

you want to understand from people who

7:14

are actually on the ground how it works

7:17

that’s what we do that’s what our

7:18

network does let’s talk about some of

7:20

the other countries that are now joining

7:22

so Saudi Arabia permanent residence buy

7:25

investment program you’re going to

7:26

basically pay $213,000

7:29

yes you could get a Caribbean

7:31

citizenship for that same donation and

7:33

that might be a better place to start

7:35

but if you’re building all your options

7:37

out who else spoke at Nomad countless

7:40

live in the past zubie zubie grew up in

7:43

what was then a much more conservative

7:45

Saudi Arabia he said it’s nothing like

7:47

you see on the media what do they have

7:50

there they’ve got strong banking as a

7:52

resident you can access that strong

7:54

banking that can be a tunnel access to

7:56

that banking by the way one of the

7:58

things we’ve talked about Nomad

7:59

accomplished a lot of the last couple

8:01

years is how you get in with a bank in

8:02

one country and that bank has branches

8:04

in six different countries and now you

8:06

can move around and so Saudi Arabia the

8:09

Middle East and also southeast Asia is

8:11

one of those regions where you’ve got

8:13

banks that have locations in some

8:15

further flung places that are harder to

8:17

access as a non-resident so you get the

8:19

residence permit that opens up financial

8:22

banking certain investment opportunities

8:24

in some cases Saudi Arabia obviously

8:26

very tax friendly that region is become

8:29

a little bit less tax friendly for

8:31

businesses like the uae’s 9% tax um some

8:34

of the other countries are are going to

8:35

roll that out from a personal standpoint

8:37

very very very tax friendly Saudi Arabia

8:40

one of the more conservative countries

8:42

compared to certainly like a Bahrain for

8:44

example um which also has a residence

8:46

permit you could do that instead but you

8:48

know Saudi they’re in the news they’re

8:51

saying oh should we have the Petro Ian

8:53

uh you know they’re really you know

8:55

looking at all their options and so if

8:56

you want a country that has that sort of

8:58

heft geopolitically that you know you’re

9:01

not going to be a citizen but you can

9:02

get that residence permit and it is for

9:04

life for that donation as long as you

9:06

keep your nose clean it is for Life the

9:09

United Arab Emirates UAE Dubai uh they

9:12

have numerous different residence

9:14

programs start a company again you’re

9:16

going to be paying 9% tax nine times out

9:18

of 10 so it’s not the most tax friendly

9:20

place to go you could buy a property get

9:23

get a golden Visa again um unless you

9:26

are a really heavy hitter in the

9:28

business scene and they give you

9:31

citizenship as they did you know Kevin o

9:34

PA durov and others I think that you

9:37

know they’ve done you hundreds of those

9:40

otherwise you’re going to have a

9:41

residence permit but what’s interesting

9:43

about you know the Middle East is their

9:45

residence programs are getting better

9:47

and better not saying their corporate

9:48

tax policies are getting better but

9:49

their residence programs they want to

9:51

keep people there they’re realizing they

9:53

don’t just want people to to go home

9:55

when it comes time to retire they want

9:57

to keep people there longer and longer

9:59

it’s like you know how do we keep people

10:00

listening to our radio station for

10:01

longer how do we keep people you know

10:03

coming back to Starbucks more often and

10:05

so Saudi and the UAE uh are part of

10:09

bricks and looking to do that Egypt has

10:12

recently joined they’ve got 105 million

10:15

people most people don’t realize the

10:17

heft that some of these countries are

10:18

adding in terms of the population same

10:20

with Ethiopia where there’s no play and

10:22

they’ve got some problems right now

10:24

Egypt not necessarily a place to live

10:26

but you can get a citizenship there and

10:28

so when I mentioned African passports

10:30

earlier what we’ve talked about for

10:32

years is the African Union saying let’s

10:33

all get together more we’re seeing you

10:35

know slowly but surely some evidence of

10:37

that among different countries hey all

10:39

Africans are welcome here they’re

10:40

opening up there could be increased

10:42

residence rights increased investment

10:43

rights things like buying you know land

10:45

that’s off limits to foreigners certain

10:47

business opportunities freedom of

10:48

movement it’ll be interesting to see

10:50

what will happen in the next generation

10:51

for people with African passports Egypt

10:54

while not in subsaharan Africa is in

10:56

Africa and so they are now in bricks as

10:58

well that could be an option with a

11:00

citizenship to have a residence and

11:01

citizenship again you want to consider

11:03

what impact that’s going to have if

11:05

you’ve got some fancy Swiss bank we’ve

11:08

talked to some of them and they say okay

11:09

we don’t really care Egypt is not on

11:11

it’s not on our nauy list we’re we’re

11:12

happy with Egypt but you want to

11:15

understand holistically what any

11:16

residence program or citizenship is

11:18

going to do to you that’s what Nomad

11:21

accus helps our clients figure out we

11:23

have more information more vendors more

11:27

resources and a bigger in-house team

11:29

that exclusively does research and

11:30

development exclusively does client

11:32

strategy then I think any other company

11:34

out there because we are dedicated to

11:36

giving you the most options you don’t

11:38

call and everybody gets sold Egypt we’ll

11:40

talk about all the different options and

11:42

if brics is something that you’re

11:43

thinking about hey here’s one place you

11:45

can get citizenship you don’t have to

11:47

live there you don’t have to pay taxes

11:49

there you barely have to go there you

11:51

have to invest some money and if that

11:53

matches your you know criteria we can

11:56

help you find properties that are not

11:58

from developers that are marked up you

12:00

know in a big way we can help you find

12:02

the very limited number of secondhand

12:03

properties that are reasonable to buy

12:05

and you can get that citizenship in a

12:06

matter of months and we help people do

12:08

stuff like that I’m not saying that’s

12:10

the option for you but it’s an option

12:13

and then you got the future joiners

12:14

kazakhstan’s talking about getting in I

12:16

think central Asia is a very interesting

12:18

uh region Jim Rogers we’ve interviewed

12:20

him he spoke at Nomad capitalist live in

12:23

2023 he’s a big fan of usbekistan but

12:26

Kazakhstan will in some ways be kind of

12:28

the the Hub of that region in the same

12:31

way that Serbia is still somewhat The

12:33

Hub of both the open Balkan free region

12:36

just the Western Balkans in general

12:38

Kazakhstan could be that for Central

12:39

Asia they had talked about a residence

12:42

uh by investment program that has not

12:44

really materialized uh usbekistan does

12:46

have a residence by investment program

12:49

that’s an area that we’re focusing on uh

12:51

deepening our ties in and learning more

12:53

about uh I think central Asia could be

12:55

interesting Kazakhstan looking at

12:57

joining bricks Maybe usbekistan is

13:00

approximate player to that turkey wants

13:02

to get in the only NATO member that

13:04

wants to be in bricks and they would

13:07

bring a substantial population

13:08

interesting how the world has changed

13:10

that for 20 years turkey wanted to be in

13:12

the EU what did Jim Rogers say he said

13:15

you know it’s probably at the point

13:17

where the EU needs turkey more than

13:20

turkey needs the EU and they are going

13:22

their own way uh they’re building up

13:24

manufacturing yeah they have problems

13:26

with inflation and yet people don’t

13:27

understand you can get citizenship mind

13:29

investment in Turkey you can buy

13:30

secondhand properties my property has

13:33

gone up dramatically in value in dollar

13:35

terms in L terms just you know through

13:37

the roof but in dollar terms my property

13:40

has gone up in value and if you want a

13:42

residence permit or if you want a

13:44

citizenship you can get that with an

13:46

investment and now you have the option

13:48

to live there whenever you want but you

13:50

don’t have to you have the option to

13:52

travel as a citizen of that country but

13:54

you don’t have to and so at a time when

13:57

the big players the US the UK in

13:59

particular are pushing away the

14:02

so-called Global South and saying we

14:04

don’t want your companies doing business

14:05

there you think those companies are just

14:07

going to go under no they’re

14:09

increasingly finding strength and

14:10

working with each other and I think

14:12

that’s where a lot of money is going to

14:13

be made in the Next Generation and if

14:16

you want to be part of that there’s

14:17

going to come a time when being Turkish

14:19

will have less baggage potentially than

14:22

being American now turkey may not be the

14:24

best example uh but certainly you know

14:27

being Brazilian is going to have a lot

14:29

less baggage than some of these Western

14:31

passports because Brazil is not going to

14:33

be out targeting everybody Brazil’s

14:35

trying to make their way look at what

14:36

Embraer is doing with their planes

14:38

they’re taking advantage of Boeing uh

14:40

having a lot of problems with their

14:42

planes with their their spacecraft uh

14:45

and and Breer they’re not going to take

14:47

over from Air by some boing but they are

14:50

making some moves into certain markets

14:52

to take some share and so Brazil is

14:54

going to have a different attitude

14:56

towards global trade than what the US

14:58

and the UK and Australia and Canada

15:00

doing where they’re basically trying to

15:01

you know keep their Claw on power uh as

15:05

you know the last gasps come out why do

15:08

you want to be a citizen and a resident

15:10

and a taxpayer and a you know person

15:12

with all your assets exclusively in a

15:15

country where the last gasps and the

15:17

claws of Power are taking place these

15:20

are some options they’re not all perfect

15:22

you want to make sure they work together

15:24

so those are eight bricks residents and

15:26

citizenships and some that won’t work

15:28

for you and some that might not work for

15:30

you but here’s the Alternatives that I

15:32

promised you the non-joiner that still

15:34

have some of the same mindset Al

15:37

Salvador’s president has picked on the

15:39

west and said hey how come they get to

15:40

get away with this stuff and we don’t

15:42

and he’s really kind of leading that

15:44

kind of messaging El Salvador is not

15:46

talking about being bricks but they have

15:48

some of those same positives they’re

15:50

talking about tax friendliness I’ve been

15:52

a little disappointed quite frankly for

15:54

all I love the vision I’m not seeing

15:56

enough execution but El Salvador has the

15:58

right message whether you like it or not

16:01

Venezuela obviously going through some

16:04

stuff right now the best time to buy

16:06

property there was probably the end of

16:08

the 2010s maybe 2020 since then Ultra

16:11

cheap property is gone and so if things

16:15

in that country improve I think that

16:17

could be an interesting counterbalance

16:19

at some point it is a place where it’s

16:21

more of like blood in the streets kind

16:23

of Vibes right now um but I’m going to

16:25

be checking that out in not to distant

16:26

future I have friends who have been

16:29

there and said you can live a great life

16:30

we have people who live there and work

16:33

in our company who have great lives

16:35

Serbia is another country the Western

16:36

Balkans we’ve talked about for years uh

16:39

maybe a bit more palatable to a lot of

16:41

folks Eastern Europe we’ve had a lot of

16:42

clients want to move to Serbia to

16:44

Montenegro Montenegro less I’m bored

16:46

with that I think Serbia the one country

16:49

that while it’s not applying to join

16:50

bricks it is not NATO it doesn’t want to

16:54

be part of NATO unlike Montenegro and

16:56

North macadonia which got in uh they are

16:59

doing their own thing and so you can

17:00

find a country that has kind of the same

17:02

mindset as bricks leave us alone we’re

17:04

neutral yeah we can work with the west

17:06

and we can work with the not West and

17:07

we’re not going to be judged and we’re

17:08

not going to be bullied and we’re going

17:10

to take part in multipolarity and we’re

17:11

going to make our own citizens wealthier

17:13

and having the ability to go there and

17:15

take part in that it’s not the worst

17:17

thing maybe buying property at a time

17:19

when it’s very affordable priced and

17:20

could go up in value is not the worst

17:22

thing that’s how you involve bricks in

17:24

your plans it’s not about having to say

17:27

I’m leaving the US for and now I’m

17:29

joining you know Russia let’s not take

17:31

it to the extremes let’s talk about

17:33

optionality I think it’s what brics

17:35

offers to solve a lot of the problems

17:37

the West has brought and you can see

17:39

what happens and make decisions as the

17:41

situation evolves

We Basques do need a real Basque independent State in the Western Pyrenees, just a democratic lay or secular state, with all the formal characteristics of any independent State: Central Bank, Treasury, proper currency, out of the European Distopia and faraway from NAT0, maybe being a BRICS partner…
