Even the longest legal processes come to an end. The Contentious-Administrative Chamber of the High Court of Justice of Catalonia (TSJC) ratified this past July that the mining company Iberpotash (currently ICL Iberia) must dismantle the saline waste dump of Cogulló, in Sallent, a huge landfill against which residents and organizations have been protesting for 20 years.

The juvenile judge on duty in Barcelona ordered yesterday the detention in a closed regime of the two teenagers aged 15 and 16 arrested in the early hours of Tuesday for the stabbing death of Carles Vilajosana, 45 years old, in Manresa. The crime has shocked the Bages region, where the victim was actively involved in cultural and social life. Hours before dying, he had been with his two twin sons at the correfoc that marked the end of a major festival that had taken place without incidents.
