Seen for judgment. At 3:19 p.m. this afternoon, the trial brought by some of the workers who moderated content for Meta in Barcelona against the dismissal of almost the entire workforce, 2,062 workers out of a total of 2,114, was concluded.
The Pitt took home its second consecutive Emmy for Best Drama Series early this morning. This kind of repeat win is not unheard of in American television awards, which are so used to going in loops and compulsively awarding the same title. But, sitting in the studio of El món a Rac1 to comment on the awards, I was struck by the comment from Isabel Garcia Pagan, deputy director of this house: “I liked the first season quite a bit, possibly because of the romanticism of ER and company, but in the second I thought… ‘we are repeating ourselves.’” She is not wrong.
Italy will maintain border controls with Spain for another fifteen days. The Minister of the Interior, Matteo Piantedosi, decided this Tuesday to again extend the partial suspension of Schengen, which affects air and sea borders between the two countries, and communicated the measure to the European Commission and the other EU Interior Ministers. Almost immediately, the Spanish Ministry of the Interior announced that it would also maintain the same measure for travelers coming from Italy by air and sea.
“It is going to be costly to restore normality in Ceuta,” they acknowledge in Moncloa after the crisis triggered in the autonomous city by the influx of more than 70,000 immigrants on July 30 and 31, despite the fact that a large number returned to Morocco in the following days. Pedro Sánchez expressed confidence on Monday in “having the situation stabilized by the end of the year,” since the unified command to resolve this crisis, assumed by the Canarian minister Ángel Víctor Torres, was decreed until next December 31. And the Government does not want to downplay the situation, but they emphasize that just as this temporary deadline can be extended, it can also be shortened. “Our goal is to shorten the deadlines,” they stress in Moncloa, to complete the reception or return procedures for the immigrants. “Each week we are going a little faster,” they defend.

Spaniards take longer to leave their parents’ house. Last year, the average age at which they became independent was 30.2 years, above the 30 of the previous year, according to data published this Tuesday by Eurostat. Difficulties in accessing their own home, both for purchase and rent, break the downward trend seen in the previous two years. The trend occurs despite the fact that the employment level of young people is at its highest in almost twenty years.
Madrid manipulates the waiting lists, at least for surgical interventions, a practice that is neither penalized nor sanctioned. This is stated by the Minister of Health herself, Mónica García, a claim also supported by Ángela Hernández, head of the largest medical union in Madrid, Amyts, who goes further: “Not only does Madrid do it, other autonomous communities do as well,” she says.
The Ceuta crisis reached the European Parliament this Tuesday in a debate on the humanitarian situation and the protection of the European Union’s borders. The Commissioner for Home Affairs and Migration, Magnus Brunner, acknowledged before the MEPs that the crisis in the autonomous city “shows that we need to double our efforts.” Brunner praised the European migration policy and said that the “return system is working better” and that “Europe has made significant progress regarding illegal immigration,” but there is work to be done.
The Supreme Court judge Pablo Llarena has rejected the request of former president Carles Puigdemont to apply amnesty after the European justice ruling that endorsed the law of oblivion, and therefore also rejects nullifying the national arrest warrant against the Junts leader.
International sport climbing has reached a new age milestone.
