The Andalusian elections have left an especially harsh picture for the PSOE. Juanma Moreno’s Popular Party came close to an absolute majority, falling just two seats short of governing alone, while the socialists recorded one of the worst results in their history in a community that for decades was one of their major electoral strongholds.

With common sense and the necessary preparation, everyone has the right to pursue their dream. But the overcrowded Everest every spring is not a desired destination for the most committed climbers; it is the goal of hundreds of men and women who climb in single file tied to ropes, hooked up to bottled oxygen, and accompanied by sherpas.

Barcelonismo woke up this Monday with a bittersweet taste on its lips. Half intoxicated with happiness after celebrating the passage to the sixth consecutive Champions final, half clouded by the tears of Alexia Putellas who may have stepped on the Camp Nou for the last time this Sunday dressed in blaugrana. The culé captain’s contract ends in June and, although she has the possibility to activate the optional year of her contract, her future is farther than close to Barcelona.

The Community of Madrid denounces that the City Council of Rivas (IU-PSOE) keeps publicly displaying a model of its project to cover the metro tracks, despite the fact that the action “currently does not have” the favorable report from the technical services of the regional Directorate General of Infrastructures.
September 12, 2024. Robert Smith is at the Abbey Road studios in London.
