The President of the Government and Secretary General of the PSOE, Pedro Sánchez, participates this Sunday in a public event in Madrid on the occasion of the Congress of Socialist Youth, in a week in which the developments in the Leire Díez case and the investigation of former president José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero have led Junts to join the PNV’s request to bring forward the elections.
The popular Jorge Azcón is again president of Aragón. After almost five months of institutional deadlock in the community, the popular leader has renewed the position with the support of his 26 deputies and the 13 from Vox (there was one absent), which in February doubled its representation and has leveraged that new weight both in the ideology of the government program and in its organizational chart, where they will hold a vice presidency and three ministries (Deregulation, Social Welfare and Family; Environment and Tourism; and Livestock, Agriculture and Food).
“The largest neighborhood in Europe” experienced an unforgettable night, one of those stories passed down from grandparents to grandchildren. Vallecas had never attended a European competition semifinal (two Copa del Rey semifinals, the last in 2022 against Betis) and dressed up for the occasion. Nerves from early morning, a mosaic in the stands, and a smile from ear to ear on the faces of its people, who supported the team until the last breath while the match became tangled and Rayo stoically held the lead (1-0). In a week, the spot in the final will be decided at the Stade de la Meinau, in the capital of Alsace. That could be a football war, judging by what was seen in the first leg.
The Barça women’s team has many layers. And they are all made of overcoming, effort, and successes. Barça is Aitana excited after the most difficult year of her career, but arriving in time to push the team in the final stretch. It is Cata Coll, without work under the posts for the rest of the year but appearing in Oslo with saves for the history books and leading the celebration in the locker room alongside Pina. It is Ewa Pajor finally breaking her personal curse and proving that, in her case, the sixth time was the charm. The Polish player bowed to the trophy and kissed it emotionally.
Billionaire magnate Elon Musk has once again lashed out at the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, whom he has accused of “high treason” over the extraordinary regularization process for immigrants that begins this Monday.
The Council of Ministers has approved a royal decree that reforms access to flexible retirement with three significant changes that will be applied within three months. This type of retirement allows for combining the pension with a certain degree of work activity, and it is one of the incentives used by the Ministry of Inclusion and Social Security to extend the working life of employees. Incentives that are now increased.
There are stages that end on a high note because they deserve it. There are journey endings that leave the heart full and the mind at peace. And there are goodbyes that perfectly summarize a cycle. Lewandowski had all of that, a forward of an era who gave four magnificent years to Barcelona. And Barça also achieved everything, putting the finishing touch on the league they won by becoming the first team to win all home matches in a 20-team league. The blaugrana went a perfect 19 with their victory over Betis.

Argentina has been holding the second trial for the death of Diego Armando Maradona since April 14, the same trial that was declared null last year following the scandal involving former judge Julieta Makintach, who was found participating in a documentary about the case while presiding over the court. Now, judges Alberto Gaig, Alberto Ortolani, and Pablo Rolón of the Oral Criminal Court No. 7 of San Isidro are conducting a process that has already had ten hearings without institutional upheavals, though not without drama. The defenses have gained prominence in this new trial since prosecutors Cosme Iribarren and Patricio Ferrari revealed much of their strategy in the annulled trial and have lost the element of surprise. Overall, the emerging picture from the courtroom is that of a man abandoned to his fate by those who had the obligation to care for him.
