SpaceX is informing investors that no one can remove Elon Musk from his position as CEO and chairman of the board without the consent of the company’s founder himself, according to an excerpt from the IPO documentation reviewed by Reuters.
On the flight bringing him to Madrid from Rome, Pope Leo XIV was asked by journalists if he preferred Real Madrid or Barcelona, a classic question. The Pontiff had no qualms about answering: “This is easy…The Pope belongs to everyone, but Prevost is a Real Madrid fan.” Robert Francis Prevost is the 267th Pope of the Catholic Church.
The secretary general of Vox, Ignacio Garriga, has no doubt that the president of the Junta de Andalucía and candidate for re-election, Juanma Moreno Bonilla, will sit down to negotiate with his party to achieve the investiture and that sooner or later he will assume and accept the principle of national priority that Santiago Abascal’s party has already imposed in Extremadura and Aragón and is imposing in Castilla y León and the Valencian Community.
The meadows of Bushehr’s maritime corridor are full again. The heat has subsided and the sun begins to set over the blue waters of the Persian Gulf. Entire families throw blankets in any free space, preferably under the palm trees. They have everything they need to spend a couple of hours enjoying the sea breeze: gas stoves on which they heat the food they have prepared, thermoses full of tea, and there are even those who load their hookah. A few have taken to the sea with their parachutes to kitesurf, taking advantage of the breeze at this time of year, and several children play on the beach. “Everything seems normal, but nothing is,” says Amin – as he wants us to call him – who shows us videos and photos taken in Bushehr a few days ago in Tehran, when the ceasefire had already begun.
How to start writing once again if four years ago in Qatar we thought that Leo Messi, finally pocketing his World Cup, would send everything to hell to retire and rest with his beloved family. Here we all are again, including him, in another final at 39 years old, exhausting the vocabulary of journalists, who repeat ourselves more than garlic trying to be original without succeeding. If only it were that he keeps playing… That’s not the point. The words would be different if he had failed, if he dragged himself as his birth date would suggest. How sharp the pens and voices would be then, always more clever for criticism than for praise. But no. Eight goals and four assists signed in seven matches. Again the best, GOAT, the greatest. Where does this guy come from? Why does he keep playing? It’s not for money. He already has enough to buy all of Rosario and Castelldefels. It must be because he enjoys it.
The Prosecutor’s Office supports the partial pardon for the former Attorney General Álvaro García Ortiz, convicted of a crime of disclosure of documents. The report has been submitted to the Supreme Court, which must now issue its own to be delivered to the Ministry of Justice for evaluation. The deputy prosecutor of the high court argues that the conviction has led the former number 1 of the public ministry to “intense and disproportionate extrapenal consequences.”
Julio Martínez Martínez acknowledges the role of former Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero in the rescue of the airline Plus Ultra for 53 million euros in 2021, contrary to what the socialist claimed, according to a document accessed by La Vanguardia.
The poet Joseph Brodsky was born in Leningrad in 1940 and was expelled from his country in 1972, after which he settled in the United States. From there he traveled again and again to Venice. He visited it for the first time at the age of 32, and at the time he wrote the wonderful little book Watermark (Siruela/Vienna) he had already stayed in the city 17 times, always in December. For the Nobel, seeing a wave breaking on the shore at midnight was like “seeing time emerging from the water.” Memory, death, love, beauty, dreams are also the materials that, in a subtle and poetic way, the artist Claudia Pagès unfolds in the Cantieri Navali, the usual headquarters of Catalonia at the Venice Art Biennale, where this year she presents Paper tears (Lágrimas de papel), a waltz-paced installation created from 15th-century watermarks found in the Museu Molí Paperer de Capellades, the place where she was born.
“It was worth it, it is worth it, today is a great day,” said the Minister of the Presidency and Justice, Félix Bolaños, after the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) endorsed the Amnesty law this Thursday, thus taking a step further to pave the way for the return of Carles Puigdemont, almost ten years after the Catalan independence process began.
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.
