Former Kathmandu Mayor Balendra Shah, also known as Balen, arrives at the party office of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) in Kathmandu, Nepal, on January 18, 2026, formally joining the party to contest the March election. The rapper-turned-mayor is presented as the next Prime Minister by the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP). The former rapper, who won the local election of 2022 from the Nepali capital, also assumes the role of senior leader of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP). On December 28, Balen strikes a deal with the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) where it is agreed that he will be the next Prime Ministerial candidate from the party. As per the 7-point agreement, RSP chair Rabi Lamichhane continues as the party's central chairman, while Shah is presented as the party's parliamentary leader after the elections and its prime ministerial candidate. The RSP emerges as the fourth largest political force, winning 21 seats in the dissolved House of Representatives within a year of its establishment. With candidacy filing scheduled for January 20, Shah prepares to contest from the Jhapa-5 constituency in the March 5 elections, with the declared aim of beating four-time prime minister and CPN-UML chair KP Sharma Oli in his own constituency. Balen promises to institutionalize the agenda raised by September's Gen-Z movement. The electoral battle in Jhapa-5 shapes up to be an intriguing contest this time.

Fishermen and traders work at Keratsini Central Fish Market in Piraeus, Greece, on December 19, 2025. The Fish Market is one of the most vibrant and demanding hubs of the urban economy, located in the area of Keratsini, Piraeus. It is the place where the night's catch arrives and where the daily journey of fish toward markets, restaurants, and homes begins. It operates mainly in the early morning hours, while the city is still asleep, moving to intense rhythms, filled with voices, negotiations, and constant motion. It is primarily a wholesale space: fishermen, traders, transporters, and workers coexist in a cold, damp environment, marked by strong smells and artificial light. There, the value of the product is determined in real time, often through informal or organized auction processes. Beyond its commercial role, the fish market is a microcosm of labor. Tired bodies, hands cracked by salt, repetitive movements -- a daily reality invisible to most. It is a place where time is measured differently: not by clocks, but by crates being emptied and trucks pulling away.
