The garden city that València imagined: a walk through the iconic “journalists’ chalets”

It is surprising to visit with today’s eyes the “journalists’ chalets” of the past, those single-family homes, with outdoor vegetation, terraces, and a modernist air that the architect Enrique Viedma (València, 1889-1959) built in 1935 next to Blasco Ibáñez Avenue in the capital of the Túria. Single-family homes, with a lobby, living room, kitchen, three or four bedrooms, outdoor patio, and a privileged location next to the Viveros gardens that were designed for the Press Association. Looking at them with the eyes of a city now besieged by the real estate crisis, which tears its seams, raises its prices, and expels its neighbors, is even more surprising.

The TSJC denies amnesty to Jové and Salvadó despite the favorable ruling of the European justice system

The High Court of Justice of Catalonia (TSJC) will not apply, for the moment, the amnesty to those considered architects of the procés, Josep Maria Jové and Lluís Salvadó, both leaders of ERC. The Civil and Criminal Chamber considers that the ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) of last July 16, favorable to granting amnesty, does not answer all the questions raised in relation to the case of Jové and Salvadó, both accused of embezzlement of public funds.
