Today, the first stories from our cross-border investigation into Solvay’s industrial legacy and Europe’s green transition are out in Público and La Via Libera.

With Marta Abba Marta Abbà , Laura Fazzini and Adhik Kandeli Naidu Pérez De Arrilucea, we investigated how the Belgian chemical multinational is being repositioned as a key actor in Europe’s strategic future — while long-standing questions remain about pollution, industrial responsibility and the environmental costs left behind.

In La Via Libera, we focus on Rosignano Solvay, in Tuscany, where the EU-selected Alpha Project aims to recover palladium under the Critical Raw Materials Act. The paradox is stark: one of Europe’s “green transition” projects is being built inside a historic chemical plant that has discharged industrial residues into the sea for more than a century, creating the famous Spiagge Bianche.

In Público, the investigation looks at Solvay’s wider European strategy, including Spain, and asks how a company with a long and contested pollution record is now being supported and rebranded through the language of circular economy, critical raw materials and ecological transition.

What happens when historic polluters become strategic actors of Europe’s green future?

This investigation was supported by Journalismfund Europe.

On this International Women’s Day, I’m sharing an image from my series Nowhere to Go. Throughout history, the consolidation of authoritarian power has often gone hand in hand with attempts to control women’s bodies.

In this project, I document assisted home birth in Texas, one of the most conservative states in the United States, marked by a record number of maternity ward closures and one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the country.

This image shows Rebecca Wiley, who chose to give birth at home, assisted by a single midwife. As hospital maternity units continue to close across the state, many women are left with few options and must rethink how and where they give birth.

Through the series, I follow mothers and their midwives across Texas. The work explores how some women reclaim control over their bodies and their birth experience, choosing paths that are not primarily shaped by hospital profit models or the growing normalization of medical interventions such as C-sections.

“Through this work, I seek to deconstruct the American myth. It questions Tocqueville’s idea of the ‘soft despotism’ of bodies in a Trump-era America that seems to have reached the limits of progress, revealing the dead end of a system.”

The series is supported by the CNAP – Centre national des arts plastiques

In resonance with what is happening in Minneapolis right now, I wanted to share a glimpse of a long assignment I worked on last July for .
Alongside writer Nadjet Cherigui , I spent a few weeks in Los Angeles, Nogales, Tijuana, the Sonoran Desert and along the Mexican border on both sides, documenting the human impact of the Trump administration’s mass deportation policy.

I met Mélanie in Van Nuys, a U.S. citizen raising three children under 2 years old alone. Her husband, originally from Honduras, had filed for asylum legally, built his own business, employed several people, and complied with every ICE check-in. In June, during a routine appointment at the Los Angeles Federal Building, he was arrested and transferred to the Adelanto detention center in the desert.

This work looks at what immigration enforcement means on the ground, beyond policies and headlines, through the lives of families living with fear, separation, and uncertainty every day.
