Any measure that helps reduce daily expenses becomes even more important in the current context, marked by the conflict in the Middle East. For this reason, Repsol has decided to extend its fuel discount campaign for individual customers until May 31, inclusive, allowing them to continue saving easily every time they refuel at any of its more than 3,300 service stations.
If the Bourbons will never forget July 14, 1789, the beginning of the end, the blues will also not be able to put aside for long what happened on another July 14, 237 years after the storming of the Bastille. Without needing to behead anyone, applying a plan designed and executed with the precision of a Swiss watch, Spain ruined the neighboring country’s national holiday with a display of competitiveness that took them to the World Cup final. World Cup final, three simple words whose symbolism transcends any dictionary.
Users of the R4 line of Rodalies have suffered delays again this Wednesday. This time, the reason has been the theft of copper cable in the railway infrastructure between the towns of Sant Feliu de Llobregat and Molins de Rei. But on this occasion, although the impact on the service could not be avoided, the Mossos d’Esquadra have arrested the thieves.
The President of the United States, Donald Trump, has once again made an impromptu shift in his strategy in the restarted war with Iran. After announcing on Monday the imposition of a 20% tariff for ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz, in exchange for security from Washington, he announced this Tuesday through Truth Social that he is abandoning that idea. “After highly productive talks with Middle Eastern leaders, I have decided to replace the 20% reimbursement tariff for the U.S. with trade and investment agreements that the various Gulf States will make in the U.S.,” the president explained.
In the midst of confusion this Monday over Iran’s announcement to leave negotiations with the United States due to Israel’s attacks in Lebanon, U.S. President Donald Trump later claimed to have had “a productive conversation” with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that had helped to unblock the situation. “Negotiations continue at a rapid pace,” he proclaimed.
When the Prime Minister of Hungary, Péter Magyar, took office on May 9, he uttered a phrase about his electoral victory that underpins his current actions and plans for the future. According to Magyar, in the general elections of April 12 – in which he overwhelmingly defeated the previous Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán – “the Hungarians expressed that they want changes, not just a change of government, but of the system.”
The price of housing will continue to accelerate in Spain over the coming years. The rating agency S&P Global Ratings forecasts that real estate will increase by 9.1% in 2026, which would make Spain the second European country with the highest rise, only behind Portugal (10%). Additionally, it anticipates that it will lead price growth between 2027 and 2029.
Former government president Mariano Rajoy and his right-hand woman in the Popular Party, María Dolores de Cospedal, are sticking to their guns. For them, the party’s former treasurer Luis Bárcenas was the traitor, who hid millions of euros in Switzerland and who deceived to make people believe he had compromising papers that he didn’t actually have. For both, the PP’s finance man is lying, and that’s why the so-called Operation Kitchen is an invention. There was “no illegal operation, political or police” against Bárcenas, much less one mounted by one of their own, former Interior Minister Jorge Fernández Díaz, whom Cospedal defined as a “straightforward and upright person who has suffered a lot.”
The possibility of a motion of no confidence against Pedro Sánchez is once again gaining prominence in the political debate, but the difficulties in forming an alternative majority remain enormous. This is the view of Lola García, deputy director of La Vanguardia, who argues that neither Junts nor the PNV currently find an easy way out of the current situation. “What would interest them is for the current Government to be stronger and more solid, able to present budgets and not be harassed by corruption cases,” she said. In her opinion, the alternative of an Executive led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo with Vox as part of the equation is also not attractive to them.
Barcelonismo woke up this Monday with a bittersweet taste on its lips. Half intoxicated with happiness after celebrating the passage to the sixth consecutive Champions final, half clouded by the tears of Alexia Putellas who may have stepped on the Camp Nou for the last time this Sunday dressed in blaugrana. The culé captain’s contract ends in June and, although she has the possibility to activate the optional year of her contract, her future is farther than close to Barcelona.
