Silence from high politics and technological power before the papal encyclical on AI
Almost 1.5 million votes were obtained by Juanma Moreno in the Andalusian elections, only 9,900 less than Isabel Díaz Ayuso in the Madrid elections. Between them, three million voters. Moreno (1970) and Ayuso (1978) have known how to adapt perfectly to the idiosyncrasy of their community.
Josep Sánchez Llibre (Vilassar de Mar, 1949) begins his third term at the head of the employers’ association Foment del Treball focused on reducing taxation, absenteeism, and improving investment in infrastructure. And he does so just as a harsh critique by a group of prestigious economists about the economic development model of Catalonia and, specifically, the type of companies and employment created in recent years has been published. The president of Foment disputes their diagnosis.
Loyalty and silence. Two powerful words that help in those moments in life as in politics when you have to open your eyes and others when you have to close them. On December 17, 2020, when I had heart surgery, I experienced one of the latter. While everyone
The real political pulse of the day was not taken this Wednesday in the chamber, but a few meters away, in the Plaza de las Cortes. A fire drill forced the evacuation of Congress and pushed deputies, ministers, and advisors into an improvised gathering where, far from the face-to-face confrontations of the control session, interpretations and consequences about the UCO’s entry into Ferraz multiplied.

Donald Trump sought to exit the war with Iran with a pact before the midterm elections, but his unruly ally, Israel, threatens to blow the agreement apart. Benjamin Netanyahu announced early Sunday a new wave of bombings in the southern neighborhoods of Beirut, one of the red lines that the United States had set in the ceasefire signed between the Lebanese and Israeli governments last April 17.
It took more than two decades to see Eric Clapton again in Barcelona, an eternity for his fans who last night, once again at the Palau Sant Jordi, enjoyed an evening that many no longer expected. Good blues and solos from a legendary guitar that, judging by the quality of what was heard, could well have started with the “as we said yesterday” that El último de la Fila used a few days ago, in their own return from the world of the living. “It seems we’re here for the same thing,” greeted a woman old enough to be a grandmother at the entrance of Sant Jordi to an acquaintance, who responded firmly: “to see the master.”
Tobías Martínez has been appointed president of Openchip, one of the most promising companies in the microchip industry in Barcelona. Market sources confirm that the former Cellnex executive will take over from Carles Kinder.
The Government wants to accelerate the approval of measures related to the housing rental market. Once it was confirmed that the royal decree-law extending contracts did not have support to be ratified, the Ministry of Housing will once again put on the table a package focused, on the one hand, on fiscal incentives and penalties for property owners and, on the other, on precise regulation of temporary rentals, where a part of traditional leases is being diverted.
