Adelante Andalucía imposes the territorial factor and surpasses Por Andalucía

Adelante Andalucía imposes the territorial factor and surpasses Por Andalucía

The alternative Andalusian left went to bed last night with a new hegemonic actor. José Ignacio García confirmed at the polls the overtaking that the polls had been anticipating for months since his Adelante Andalucía won eight seats – six more than in 2022 – and clearly surpassed Por Andalucía whose candidacy, led by Antonio Maíllo, stalled at five deputies without managing to capitalize on the return of the IU leader to the front line of politics.

De la Fuente: “I sign up to reach the World Cup final every year and lose it”

De la Fuente: “I sign up to reach the World Cup final every year and lose it”

The list of FIFA’s mistakes is long and this World Cup is a new example. Balogun, hydration breaks, halftime shows… but Infantino and his henchmen don’t do everything wrong. In fact, there are some things others could learn from. When it comes to the final of a World Cup, the most important match that can be played, it’s not a matter of experimenting and playing around. Everyone gets serious. So before the showdown, the coaches and captains of the finalists must appear at a press conference. They are the most authoritative voices. And in New York, as far as Spain is concerned, that responsibility fell on Luis de la Fuente and Rodri Hernández.

Freya, the James Bond-esque ‘femme fatale’ who starred in the Nord Stream sabotage

Even Ian Fleming would have rejected the idea as unrealistic. The Nord Stream sabotage, which occurred in September 2022 and which Ukraine continues to deny, featured Freya, an extraordinary diver who was key to the attack and who had previously been an erotic model. The former is revealed by Bojan Panchevski, a journalist for The Wall Street Journal, in his book Undermining Nord Stream. The True Story of the Sabotage That Shook Europe (with no publication date planned in Spain).

Siri Hustvedt: “I felt Paul’s presence at his funeral, he was looking at me, making sure I was okay”

Siri Hustvedt: “I felt Paul’s presence at his funeral, he was looking at me, making sure I was okay”

When her husband died two years ago, Siri Hustvedt (Minnesota, 1955) began writing Ghost Stories (Seix Barral/Edicions 62), a book that helped her face the abyss of “vanished time,” start the grieving process, and adjust to life alone after 43 years of marriage. If the one who left, a victim of cancer that the author describes with harshness but without losing her sense of humor, had not been Paul Auster, it would be the same, she admits, because this work is not a biography of the novelist, but a lost love song. “The most painful reality in this world is not loving someone and losing them to death, but the inability to love,” she argues.

Back to the Los Gallardos campsite: “The Civil Guard told us to leave, but people didn’t know where to go”

Back to the Los Gallardos campsite: “The Civil Guard told us to leave, but people didn’t know where to go”

Poco a poco, normality seems to return to Los Gallardos Leisure, a camping and resort located in that town and which last Thursday had to be evacuated very quickly due to the fire that had broken out a few hours earlier and that literally threatened to burn the complex. The flames were very close and visible from any point. Fortunately, it was able to reopen on Sunday without having to regret any damage.
