Feijóo lashes out at Sánchez on May 1st: “Work should serve to live, not just to pay”

Alberto Núñez Feijóo has lashed out this May 1st against Pedro Sánchez’s Government, since, in his opinion, economic policy and corruption are discouraging work. “In Spain, it must be worthwhile to work and make an effort again,” states the manifesto published by the PP. Later, through social media, Feijóo himself has reproached the high taxes that workers are having to pay. “Working must serve to live, not just to pay,” he has pointed out.

Trapped in the burofax after the fall of the decree to extend the rentals

Trapped in the burofax after the fall of the decree to extend the rentals

The Ministry of Social Rights and Consumer Affairs encouraged the 2.7 million tenants potentially affected by the extension of leases to send a burofax to their landlord as the key for the contract extension to be valid. However, those affected are not sure that this document protects landlords against tenants. The general atmosphere is one of confusion, which increases instability in a market that has already been complicated for some time.

Trump says he will keep Hormuz “sealed” until Iran gives in to a deal

Trump says he will keep Hormuz “sealed” until Iran gives in to a deal

The indefinite truce between Iran and the United States, announced on Tuesday by President Donald Trump, remains fragile after the capture of at least five ships since then in the region, three intercepted by Tehran and two by Washington. The naval blockade imposed by the Pentagon on Iranian ports, which overlaps with the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz by the Revolutionary Guard, is making a second round of peace talks impossible, as the Iranian regime considers it an “act of war” that violates the terms of the agreement. Financial markets breathed a sigh of relief when Trump extended the ceasefire just hours before it expired, but have stabilized, cautious because peace still seems distant.

The most exclusive houses in Mallorca, owned by artists and creatives, from Sybilla to James Costos

The most exclusive houses in Mallorca, owned by artists and creatives, from Sybilla to James Costos

It’s not an exaggeration to say that almost everything happens in Mallorca. Because, as photographer Ricardo Labougle observes, the largest of the Balearic Islands “is almost like a continent.” The truth is that the island has mountains that are covered in snow in winter and turquoise water beaches that are nothing to envy those of the Caribbean. In addition to cliffs, bays, capes, valleys, plains, tiny villages, and cities as splendid as Palma. But above all, Mallorca, as Labougle points out, “possesses an exceptional cultural richness, the fruit of a legacy of centuries of invasions and different inhabitants. It has always been the richest and most important of the archipelago and its architectural identity is a world apart: Palma, dominated by its great Gothic cathedral. The feudal ‘possessions’. The monasteries, such as Valldemossa and Lluc. The gardens… The feeling is that the entire Mediterranean has passed through there,” explains the photographer in a telephone conversation with the Magazine.

This is how the celebration of the Spanish national team’s World Cup in Madrid will be: traffic cuts, schedule, and reinforcement of buses and metro

Madrid will take to the streets this afternoon to celebrate Spain’s victory in the Football World Cup, with the second star for ‘La Roja’, in a celebration that will have the Plaza de Cibeles as its epicenter and with an expected attendance of more than 60,000 according to calculations by the Madrid City Council, causing inevitable impacts on pedestrian and motorized mobility in the area, such as the progressive closure of Cibeles since midnight and disruptions at the Carlos V roundabout. The bus route with the 2026 World Cup champions will depart from Plaza de Moncloa and end at Cibeles.

The UN supports strong climate action despite US rejection

The UN supports strong climate action despite US rejection

The doctrine of climate justice is gaining ground in the world of international politics. And in this case, hand in hand with a small island state in the Pacific, Vanuatu. The UN General Assembly overwhelmingly voted on Wednesday, May 20, in favor of an agreement to implement strong measures to mitigate climate change, despite diplomatic efforts by the United States to have the measure withdrawn. The resolution was driven by Vanuatu and twelve other countries and seeks to implement the obligations for States established last year by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) regarding climate change.

Luis Goytisolo: the keys to his life

Luis Goytisolo: the keys to his life

The passing of Luis Goytisolo (1935-2026) decisively closes a golden age of contemporary Spanish novel. Here we speak of a solid and profound narrative, full of expressive and intellectual boldness. Born into a well-off family, Luis and his other siblings had to overcome the foundational trauma of their mother’s death, which occurred during a bombing in the Civil War. Perhaps that was the driving force behind his later dedication to writing, where Luis stood out early with ‘Las afueras’ (1958), a book of stories that announced much of his world: postwar Barcelona, seen partly from the bourgeois elites.
