The Vatican intends to give a high socioeconomic content to the upcoming visit of Leo XIV to Spain, between June 6 and 12. Its representatives in Spain, led by José Cobo, cardinal, archbishop of Madrid and vice president of the Spanish Episcopal Conference,…
The scene of Minister Itamar Ben Gvir humiliating the international activists of the Global Sumud Flotilla could cost the Israeli government dearly. In the European Union, which is gradually hardening its stance regarding the attitude of Beniamin Netanyahu’s administration, the images of foreign civilians handcuffed and kneeling amid the laughter of the Israeli National Security Minister have caused outrage.
The stray dog that went in and out every so often of the Kontraktova ploshcha metro station, in the central Podil neighborhood, was the perfect thermometer to understand when the attacks launched by Russia in the early hours of Sunday on Kyiv intensified and which is one of the harshest, if not the greatest, of what it has launched against the Ukrainian capital since the beginning of the invasion in February 2022.
It is the third time that Russia presents to the public the star of its arsenal and, as on this occasion, it previously left behind what it was designed for: destruction.

The judge of the National Court, in charge of the Plus Ultra case, has lifted the secrecy of the file once the most important procedure, the search of the former leader’s official office, has been carried out.

Confetti rain and a huge stage to welcome the European champions. And they, the protagonists, the Barça players parading with sunglasses on. Many were hydrating with water bottles in their hands. Others, like Claudia Pina and Ona Batlle, came out with beer. Mapi León, with the number 4 jersey – like the four Champions League titles won -, was one of the most applauded of the afternoon. It was her last celebration since, like Ona Batlle, she will head to the Premier League. And the captains Irene Paredes, Patri Guijarro, and Marta Torrejón each appeared with the trophies of the Super Cup, the Queen’s Cup, and the Women’s League.
