The sum of PP and Vox approved this Friday the law of fiscal measures, administrative and financial management, and organization of the Generalitat Valenciana, also known as the accompaniment to the 2026 regional budgets, against the rejection of PSPV-PSOE and Compromís.
PP, Compromís and Vox have criticized that the ‘former president’ of the Generalitat Ximo Puig has hired the nephew of his partner, the former councilor Gabriela Bravo, as his driver in his ‘former president’ office, while the PSPV has defended the figure of the one who was his secretary general and has recalled that this is a position of free appointment in which a person from the family environment can be hired, just as politicians from other parties do in other administrations.
A PP deputy, present in the negotiations of the amendments with Vox, was complaining this week about the impression that their party says yes to everything their partners propose without protest. “We fight a lot, you don’t know what they propose to us and not everything goes through,” she pointed out. The truth is that, despite the parliamentarian’s words, PP and Vox end the political term in total harmony in the Corts Valencianes. Last Monday, the Populars voted in favor of every single one of the radical right’s amendments (both the negotiated ones and those that were not touched) to the law on fiscal measures, administrative and financial management, and organization of the Generalitat. At the same time, Vox did the same with the PP, except on one issue.
La Guardia Urbana evacuated early Friday morning 32 people settled in tents and some very precarious constructions built on the slope of Montjuïc that faces the Ronda del Litoral, right next to the Firefighters’ park, on Josep Carner Avenue… We are talking about what would practically be the most precarious, unsafe, and on top of that unhealthy shantytown neighborhood in the city that this mountain has become for some time now.
An intervention that both the police officers and the family will remember for a lifetime. Two officers on regular duty from the Local Police of El Prat de Llobregat saved the life of a one-year-old baby who was choking on a piece of bread, according to the Town Hall of the locality in a statement.
The inmate of the Quatre Camins penitentiary who escaped on July 22 during a scheduled prison leave was able to be arrested yesterday, Thursday, in the afternoon.
The Rome Prosecutor’s Office is investigating the death of a 27-year-old Italian young man in Barcelona on June 1, three days after being arrested in a shop near Portal de l’Angel. During the arrest, the young man suffered a cardiac episode that required medical attention and was taken to Hospital del Mar, where he died. The investigation in Barcelona concluded, after performing an autopsy on the body, that the young man — an Italian native of Florence, whose initials are S.S. — died due to multiorgan failure linked to amphetamine use. The Roman Prosecutor’s Office has ordered a second autopsy, the results of which are not yet known. The body was not transferred to Italy until this week and the funeral was held on Thursday.
The roar of hundreds of wildebeests anticipates the stampede. On the other side of the river, the herd leaders overcome fear inch by inch and bring their hooves closer to the edge of the cliff. Suddenly, they plunge into the void: dozens of individuals rush towards the water and frantically cross the Mara River through a cloud of dust. On the other side of the river, about thirty vehicles take positions, loaded with wide-eyed tourists with cameras at the ready. It’s no wonder. The Great Migration in Tanzania and Kenya, in which about two million wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles follow the rains across the Serengeti and Masai Mara plains, is one of nature’s greatest spectacles, especially when the crossing of crocodile-infested rivers occurs. But the purity of this treasure is in danger: a year ago, South African guide Nick Kleer published embarrassing images showing dozens of tourists outside their cars, something forbidden, in front of a barrier of 150 vehicles blocking the animals’ passage.
The avalanche that yesterday trapped ten members of an expedition led by the well-known British-Nepali mountaineer Nirmal Purja on Broad Peak, the twelfth highest mountain in the world, at 8,051 meters, in Pakistan, has shocked the mountaineering world. Rescue teams recovered this morning “the bodies of Nadhira Ahmed Abdullah Al Harthy, from Oman, and Pur Bahaur Gurung, from Nepal,” according to the president of the Alpine Club of Pakistan (ACP), Major General Irfan Arshad, who confirmed this to Efe. The leg of a third person was also found, he added. Arshad indicated that search efforts will continue tomorrow, Saturday.
Everyone thought that this was just another room in an ancient Roman villa built in Fuente Álamo (Puente Genil, Córdoba). Some speculated that the room could even be a mithraeum, a temple dedicated to the Persian-origin god Mithras and built to imitate a cave. But the space was actually the oldest library on the Iberian Peninsula.
