The Secretary of State for Youth and Childhood, Rubén Pérez Correa, has described the mass deportations of minors proposed at a joint press conference in Ceuta this Wednesday by the President of the Autonomous City, Juan Jesús Vivas, and the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, as a “manifest illegality.”
Anyone who watches the three-part Netflix documentary about Jose Mourinho (already brilliantly summarized by John Carlin last week) might compare the character to a wolf. Sharp claws, supreme intelligence, and a high sensory capacity to know what is happening at every moment and sniff out the path. There is a scene in which the man from Setúbal shows it. He points to his eyes and says they are his best tool, like that Big Brother who sees everything in a football match, inside a locker room or in the club’s offices. It doesn’t matter to him whether he hunts by day or by night. His instinct rules.
The overtaking was consolidated: the rental prices of commercial premises on Passeig de Gràcia have definitively surpassed those of Portal de l’Àngel, a street that for many years had the most expensive leases in all of Spain. The competition for the very scarce commercial premises of major national and international brands specializing in high-end products and mainly targeting the wealthiest tourists is driving up the price per square meter of the city’s most prestigious avenue. Portal de l’Àngel plays a different role and attracts a more local and mass audience.
Resisting is everything for people trapped in the wheel of destruction, reconstruction, and destruction again. Resistance determines who they are and what they do. If they want to keep living, they must first resist. Any aspiration they have is secondary. In the Middle East, the most militarized region in the world, millions of people wake up every morning with the goal of resisting. The strongest and best-armed set the level of endurance that the rest must reach. Political, social, and economic relations are determined by this hierarchy of resistance.
Escribía ayer en estas páginas Joaquín Vera, los imprescindibles ojos de La Vanguardia en Ceuta, que los vecinos definen su ciudad como un polvorín a punto de estallar. También se suceden, más allá de lo que pueden confirmar y contar los periodistas, los múltiples testimonios…
Once again, unaccompanied migrant minors are at the center of the political fray. The number of children and adolescents roaming the streets of Ceuta since they crossed the border in a rush is unknown. But two figures can help gauge the emergency: the autonomous city, responsible for their care, has accommodated 1,376 minors in various spaces, but the National Police have registered 2,168 youngsters. That is, almost 800 migrants under 18 have been identified but are not yet under the care services’ umbrella. And to these should be added those who have not even been registered by the Security Forces. While hundreds of minors wander alone through the streets in unhealthy conditions and urgently need three meals a day, the Government and the opposition have intensified the debate over their future – return or care – as if it were a collective decision.
Alberto Núñez Feijóo returned to Ceuta yesterday, for the second time in just over fifteen days, to demand the voluntary return or expulsion of “all” the immigrants who entered the autonomous city irregularly in the mass entry that overwhelmed the city’s border.
Officers of the National Police and the Civil Guard have deployed early in the morning at El Trampolín beach, where most of the immigrants who remain in the autonomous city since the mass crossing are concentrated, for the transfer of people to two of the new reception centers enabled by the Government, which already have 1,800 beds.
The Chinese dragon is already here roaring in the European castle. China has advanced in the global production chain and now competes directly with the eurozone in almost 40% of the sectors in which Europe has a comparative advantage, compared to around 25% at the beginning of this century. The alarm comes from the president of the European Central Bank (ECB), Christine Lagarde, who shared the data this Wednesday during a conference in Geneva at the World Economic Forum.
Barça played the Joan Gamper trophy (2-1) but Deco’s mind is on the final stretch of the market. Barcelona’s sporting director confirmed that the club has not given up on bringing in a number nine to strengthen the attack, although the club is coming to terms with the fact that signing Julián Álvarez is increasingly complicated. In fact, Deco literally announced that Barça plans to bring in a striker after Lewandowski’s farewell, following the end of his contract at 37 years old. “We will probably make some move,” he revealed on TV3.
