The Government of Giorgia Meloni has rejected this afternoon Pedro Sánchez’s demand to remove border controls with Spain that Italy reintroduced on August 1 due to the massive and irregular entry of immigrants in Ceuta on July 30. In a note from the Chigi Palace, the Italian Executive assures that Italy “does not accept ultimatums or impositions from abroad” on matters of national security.
Wall Street is going full throttle upwards, climbing towards records, but the real economy, that of everyday people, surprised this Friday with a loss of 23,000 jobs in the month of July. This more than evident sign that the US labor market has cooled down, despite the Dow Jones that President Donald Trump boasts so much about, complicates the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) task as it weighs whether to raise interest rates amid persistently high inflation.
The sexist murder of the civil guard Laura Cruz at the Llanes barracks has reopened the debate about protection mechanisms within the Armed Institute. Although the alleged aggressor, Dámaso Fernández, also a civil guard, had his service weapon withdrawn and had recently been expelled from the Corps following a final conviction for gender-based violence, he managed to access the barracks, steal a colleague’s weapon in Zamora, and shoot his partner to death.

The Navy has reinforced its deployment in Ceuta with the arrival of the frigates Santa María and Navarra, which are already operating in the southern bay of the city as part of the extraordinary device activated by the Ministry of Defense to address the migration crisis triggered after the massive entry recorded last week.

The Attorney General of the State, Teresa Peramato, has instructed the delegated prosecutors of the autonomous communities to intervene if a region refuses to take in unaccompanied migrant minors from Ceuta who are referred to their protection system.
Since the beginning of time, the passion for observing the stars has been a constant in the history of humanity. The night sky, with its vast darkness sprinkled with bright lights, not only awakened the curiosity of our ancestors but also became the first great canvas of human imagination, a mirror to reflect myths, fears, and hopes. Today, the rise of astrotourism shows that this ancestral passion remains intact.
Only four countries in Europe (Croatia, Slovakia, Greece, and Italy) record a higher age than Spain for leaving the family home and becoming independent. According to Eurostat data, this event occurs at 30 years old in Spanish households, far from the 21 years old when Finns, Danes, and Swedes do the same. The problems of access to housing and job insecurity cause only 15.2% of young people to be able to live in a home separate from their parents, as highlighted in the latest edition of the Emancipation Observatory of the Youth Council of Spain.
For many travelers, cemeteries have a special charm. The charm of peace, silence, and connection with the past… Some do not leave Paris without wandering for a few minutes through the tree-lined paths and the sumptuous mausoleums of Père-Lachaise. In tours of Prague, a visit to the old Jewish cemetery is usually included, with that sea of tombstones that seem to eternally clash. In Vienna’s Zentralfriedhof are the graves of great composers like Beethoven, Schubert, and Brahms… Well, the small civil cemetery of Bausen has none of these attractions. Its essence is smallness. A tombstone, a real love, and a legend.
