Fine of 10,000 euros for starting a brawl on a Ryanair flight between London and Ibiza

A court in Toulouse has sentenced two passengers on a Ryanair flight to pay a fine of 10,000 euros for the brawl they caused on the journey between London and Ibiza. The altercation was of such magnitude that the plane had to divert to land at Toulouse airport, where the two passengers were forced to disembark from the aircraft. The court also sentences each of them to 10 months in prison, although they will not go to jail as the execution has been suspended.

Aldama: “They told me that part of that money was for the party’s financing and that the president knew about it”

The broker Víctor de Aldama, who at one time reached a deal with the Prosecutor’s Office to get out of prison for another case, has appeared before the Supreme Court judging him for the mask case, willing to explain how he paid the former Minister of Transport José Luis Ábalos and his then advisor Koldo García, also in the dock. He has elaborated on all the corruption within the Ministry and beyond. That red line, according to the businessman, was crossed at Ábalos’s request because – he declared – “he needed money for the party’s financing” and the president knew all about it.

‘Tradwife’ literary universe: conservative housewives arrive in bookstores

That one of the most anticipated literary debuts of the year features a tradwife as the protagonist is not something that should be surprising. For those unfamiliar with the term, this anglicism is an abbreviation of traditional wife, or in other words, traditional housewife, and this is how Natalie Heller Mills, a character in the novel Yesteryear (AdN) by Caro Claire Burke, who has just arrived in bookstores stirring much excitement among readers, refers to herself. It is no wonder, as actress Anne Hathaway, who these days can be seen on the big screen starring in The Devil Wears Prada 2, has purchased the film rights to turn the novel into a movie, playing the role of Natalie herself. She will thus go from being a promising girlboss ready to succeed at Runway magazine, directed by Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep), to quite the opposite.

“The great advantage of Sánchez is that almost no one benefits from elections”

The possibility of a motion of no confidence against Pedro Sánchez is once again gaining prominence in the political debate, but the difficulties in forming an alternative majority remain enormous. This is the view of Lola García, deputy director of La Vanguardia, who argues that neither Junts nor the PNV currently find an easy way out of the current situation. “What would interest them is for the current Government to be stronger and more solid, able to present budgets and not be harassed by corruption cases,” she said. In her opinion, the alternative of an Executive led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo with Vox as part of the equation is also not attractive to them.
