(CNN) — Ni el presidente de Turquía, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, ni su principal rival parecían haber asegurado el 50% de los votos para ganar las elecciones, según mostraron los resultados electorales preliminares, lo que aumenta las perspectivas de una segunda vuelta.La agencia de noticias estatal Anadolu informó proyecciones basadas en el 97,95% de los votos contados, mostrando que Erdogan tiene el 49,34% de los votos, en comparación con el 44,99% del principal candidato de la oposición, Kemal Kilicdaroglu.El tercer candidato, Sinan Ogan, recibió el 5,28% de los votos, según Anadolu, lo que plantea la posibilidad de que pueda ser un hacedor de reyes en una segunda vuelta. Tuiteó que una segunda votación es “muy posible” y que “los nacionalistas turcos y los ataturkistas están en una posición clave para esta elección”.Las elecciones de este domingo suponen el mayor desafío hasta la fecha para el líder turco. Erdogan se enfrenta a dificultades económicas y a la crítica de que el im...

(CNN) — La década de 2010 pareció más un siglo que una década. En 10 años, la cultura pop evolucionó (y, en opinión de algunos, involucionó) más rápido que nunca, debido en gran parte a la llegada y la influencia cada vez mayor de las redes sociales.El clima cultural y el panorama digital también influyeron en la música que escuchábamos: empezamos la década en la era de Obama, cargada de optimismo, y la terminamos con una pandemia y un clima político muy divisivo.
