Pedro Almodóvar returned this Tuesday to the Cannes festival to compete for the Palme d’Or with Bitter Christmas, seven years after Pain and Glory, and the reception could not have been more emotional. “I am speechless, very moved.

Junqueras defends the pact because it solves “everyday problems” and gives more powers to Catalonia

After signing the first budget agreement with the Government of Salvador Illa, the president of Esquerra Republicana, Oriol Junqueras, has defended the pact reached because it fulfills -in his opinion- a “double function.” On one hand, because it resolves the “everyday problems” of Catalonia with budget allocation and, on the other, because it provides the opportunity to “achieve more powers and tools in favor of the country.”

The keys to a budget agreement that lasts a legislature

The keys to a budget agreement that lasts a legislature

The agreement signed by President Salvador Illa and the leader of ERC, Oriol Junqueras, is no longer just for the 2026 budgets, but is focused on 2027 and beyond. De facto, this agreement will allow for the resources and political stability sufficient to complete the Catalan legislature – which expires in the summer of 2028 – but will serve as a planning tool for a few more years. At the same time, this agreement reaffirms the Government’s link with its main ally, since the signed document ratifies some of the most relevant investiture agreements, such as special financing, IRPF collection, airport management, or the cancellation of the FLA debt.

Jonathan Andic, from the failed rise to the management of Mango to his role as a shareholder

Jonathan Andic grew up within Mango long before occupying an office at the top of the group. He was the eldest son of Isak Andic, the founder who built one of the largest European fashion empires from Catalonia, but those who dealt with him in those years remember a discreet executive, more comfortable in creative and product teams than on the corporate front line. He studied Audiovisual Communication in the United States and later completed his training with an MBA at IESE, before formally joining the family business in 2005.

This is how Mango has managed to shield itself from the investigation into the death of Isak Andic

The Mango business has managed to stay out of the investigation into the death of its founder, Isak Andic, in December 2024.

The clues against Jonathan Andic: a rare slip, the “hatred” of the father, and the change of will

The clues against Jonathan Andic: a rare slip, the “hatred” of the father, and the change of will

Jonathan Andic, 45 years old, and accused of killing his father Isak Andic during a walk in Montserrat in December 2024, learned this Tuesday about the evidence that the Mossos d’Esquadra have gathered over the last year and a half to maintain their suspicions. A long list of clues that the judge of court 5 of Martorell enumerated in a very harsh detention order that was made public. A document that included the request from prosecutor Teresa Yoldi to send the eldest son to prison for a homicide crime, but a measure avoidable by a bail of one million euros that the accused deposited in ten minutes. Immediately afterwards, he was released, with the prohibition to leave Spain, after handing over his passport to the magistrate, and once again making the walk before the media, but this time without the handcuffs with which he arrived when he was taken into custody.
