You may have seen it, perhaps, that message that has received countless likes on social media. “For the first time in history, you can simply post ‘HE IS AN IDIOT’ and 90 percent of the world will know who you are talking about.” Hahaha. Very good. But the idiot also has reasons to…
President Donald Trump announced this Saturday afternoon that an Iran deal had been “largely negotiated, subject to its completion,” practically closing the process to end the war, after calls with Israel and regional allies. In the statement on his social network, he implied that only a few details remained and guaranteed the opening of the Strait of Hormuz.
Florentino Pérez has already made a move in the election campaign. On the same day that the board approved his candidacy for the Real Madrid presidential elections, a gigantic banner appeared on a street in the capital in the purest Joan Laporta style.
Enrique Riquelme appeared this Saturday in Valdebebas, where the headquarters of the Real Madrid electoral board is located, to submit all the necessary documentation to formalize his candidacy for the presidency of the white entity. This was the last step, and the most costly, to meet the requirements written in the statutes, tightened since Florentino Pérez’s arrival at the presidency two decades ago, coincidentally when the last elections were held.
El Barcelona, the new champion since May 10, can now rest. They deserve it. Some can already think about the World Cup and others about their trips. In fact, the blaugrana team left half an hour early for vacation. The season could have ended when the top scorer Lewandowski said goodbye with what he does best: a goal of opportunism and instinct. However, the disconnection was evident and Valencia did not miss the chance to come back with two goals in five minutes.
Girona went to the hell of the Second Division. It was unable once again to win, the only thing it could do to ensure survival, and Elche, with the draw, will remain in the top flight for another season. The dreams of greatness at Montilivi are over, which in three seasons has gone from amazing as the third team in the League, playing the Champions League, to ending up relegated.
The former Prime Minister had a decisive role in the turbulent life of the company Plus Ultra according to the UDEF in the new reports released today. The documents, accessed by La Vanguardia, describe for example the determining role of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero in the task of persuading a shareholder who did not accept the viability plan without which the Spanish government’s aid would never have arrived or, in another case, report the influence of the former president in obtaining flight permits from the Venezuelan Government for the company.
The Romanian director Cristian Mungiu has won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes festival with Fjord, a film as uncomfortable as it is necessary, which was among the favorites in a rather uncertain 79th edition. With the audience giving a standing ovation, Mungiu went up to the stage of the grand Lumière theater to receive from Tilda Swinton an award he had already won in 2007 with 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days. “It is necessary to talk about relevant things in a society that has become radicalized, and this film is a message of tolerance,” he said in reference to the plot of the film starring Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve, which narrates how the traditional and religious values of an ultra-conservative Romanian family clash with the supposed progressive values of Norwegian society. Fjord had also been awarded shortly before with the prize from the international critics (Fipresci), the Ecumenical, and the Citizenship awards.
Oysters and champagne. And with large doses of mockery. This is how the Plus Ultra leadership celebrated the airline’s bailout, with a public aid of 53 million euros, which is the basis of the judicial case in the National Court in which the former Prime Minister, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, is under investigation. This is evidenced by a photograph sent by the company’s CEO, Roberto Roselli, to Julio Martínez, a friend of the former socialist leader, in a restaurant, accompanied by the message: Warning to navigators: SEPI does not approve those expenses.” To which they respond in the chat with a “Relax, that comes out of the 1% [referring to the commission that would have been paid for the bailout]”.
Officials of the airline Plus Ultra sought ways to halt the investigation opened regarding the company’s bailout with 53 million euros from the Government. One of them was the Public Prosecutor’s Office.
