Alen Craig2 months ago2 months ago02 mins

A man has died stabbed this Wednesday night during a fight in a Hikari bar in the La Mina neighborhood of Sant Adrià de Besòs, on Manuel Fernández street, very close to Astronàutica. The 112 has received several calls and patrols from the municipal police, Mossos d’Esquadra, and ambulances from the Servei d’Emergències Mèdiques (SEM) have been dispatched to the scene. The first police officers to arrive at the doors of the establishment began cardiopulmonary resuscitation maneuvers until they were replaced by medical personnel. But neither group was able to do anything for the man, who had several stab wounds incompatible with life.

The OECD’s message to the Government: “Catalonia must investigate the failure in PISA and take measures”

Alen Craig2 months ago2 months ago04 mins

The OECD became aware of the high exemption rate of students in Catalonia in the PISA tests in March 2026, when it received the relevant reports from Spain and its autonomous communities, and immediately communicated the issue to the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training, according to a spokesperson for the organization speaking to La Vanguardia. The tests were conducted in April 2025 and at that time technicians from the Ministry and the Generalitat already warned of the high rate of students exempted from taking the exams, but, according to the ministry, they did not report it to their superiors, so there was no room for correction nor, supposedly, the capacity to inform the OECD evaluation group.

Alen Craig2 months ago2 months ago04 mins

The start of another long heat wave has once again brought, as feared, new forest fires in Catalonia. After a few days of respite, coinciding with the drop in temperatures, the return of the dreaded heat and the fall in humidity activated two forest fires this Wednesday between Alt Camp, Baix Penedès, and Garraf, starting at noon, just as the thermometer began to reach maximum values. About 3,600 residents from urban centers and relatively nearby residential areas to the fires have been confined preventively and temporarily, controlled throughout the afternoon thanks to the intense work of the Generalitat Firefighters.
