The concept of European digital sovereignty has become popular. It is the democratic alternative to the technooligarchy of the USA and the dizzying and unsettling advance of China. The expression is beginning to infiltrate political speeches – at least, those of the leaders…

No, I also did not read the 42,300-word encyclical from the Pope about artificial intelligence, 40 times longer than this column, for the love of God. Yes, to my surprise, if I end up spending eternity in heaven, I promise, Holy Father, that I will. But for now, I have limited myself…
This time PSG, last year’s European champion in a memorable thrashing of Inter Milan, did not steamroll. They added the second title in the penalty shootout, after unsuccessfully scraping against Arsenal’s defensive cement, who took advantage of Havertz’s early goal to turn the…
Even during the Champions League final match in Budapest, skirmishes have already begun in Paris between riot police and groups of fans – or mere troublemakers – on the Champs-Élysées and near the Parc des Princes, the stadium where PSG usually plays. The clashes escalated as the hours passed and spread to other cities such as Clermont-Ferrand, Limoges, Dieppe, and Valenciennes.
The reading of the municipal register corresponding to January 1 of this year, just made public by the City Council, shows a Barcelona that is a collector of records. The municipality started this year by breaking many maximum population records. Not at a global level, as there is an almost imperceptible decrease of 0.1%, leaving the number of registered people at 1,729,963 (about 2,100 fewer residents than a year ago), but yes in various categories such as people born abroad and of non-Spanish nationality, Barcelonans who have surpassed a century of life, or the number of births, which in this case reaches a historic low: the 11,012 registered throughout 2025 represent the lowest value since 1900, with the only exception of 1939.

Josefina Molina (Córdoba, 1936), director of works such as Función de noche, Esquilache, or the series Teresa de Jesús, dedicated a good part of her life to demonstrating that the female perspective was not an exception in the history of cinema, but an essential part of it. A pioneer of Spanish audiovisual, the first woman to graduate in Directing from the Official Film School and the first filmmaker to receive the Honorary Goya, she turned each project into a claim for female freedom to tell their own stories. “To see the world in relief you have to have two eyes and Humanity has been one-eyed for too long,” Molina stated. The sentence ended up becoming the best summary of a life dedicated to broadening the perspective of cinema. The director passed away this Saturday in Madrid at the age of 89. The wake will take place at the Boadilla del Monte funeral home starting at 16:00 hours.
“How strange it is to be young when one is old,” confesses Edgar Morin, and it is very relevant now that he is somewhere in Eternity. A couple of book fairs ago, in Frankfurt, we discovered Seeds of Sagacity, a title we published in March of this year in…
France and Europe have lost one of their most distinguished intellectuals, a witness and keen observer of the 20th and 21st centuries, who helped to decipher them. The sociologist and philosopher Edgar Morin, theorist of “complex thought,” a figure of the anti-Nazi resistance during World War II, died yesterday at the age of 104, his wife reported this Saturday. Morin remained active, publishing books, almost until the end.
