Rarely have municipal and regional elections been described as “historic” without it being an exaggeration, like when a football match is dubbed “the match of the century,” or a film, a work of art deemed essential and momentous, that would be a sin to miss. But referring to yesterday’s elections in Scotland, Wales, and England in this way is no hyperbole, because they will symbolize the end of the two-party system, the decline (terminal or not, we shall see) of Labour and the Conservatives, the emergence on the scene of the far right (Reform) and far left (Greens), the rejection of the technocratic centrism represented by Keir Starmer, and the sharp condemnation of Jacobin centralism, with three of the four nations that make up the Kingdom possibly in the hands of nationalists.
The fragile ceasefire that had been in place since last April 7 between the United States and Iran hangs by a thread after a violent exchange of attacks in the Strait of Hormuz in the early hours of this Friday.

The Ministry of Education of the Community of Madrid has the continuity of the language assistant program, especially English, for the next 2026-2027 school year up in the air, due to various court rulings and the investigations opened by the Ministry of Labor’s inspection in other autonomous communities that there may be irregularities in the hiring of said personnel.
The president of the Generalitat Valenciana, Juanfran Pérez Llorca, warned this Thursday that the Consell will not negotiate with the teachers’ unions if the indefinite strike announced by the teaching staff affects the development of the university entrance exams. “If they blackmail with that, there will be no negotiation on the part of the Generalitat,” he stated during the control session held in Les Corts Valencianes.

In Seville almost no one calls it the Centennial Bridge. For the Sevillians, it is Paquito.

And now, moreover, the bridge has fully entered the Andalusian electoral campaign after the suspension of some works that depend directly on the Ministry of Transport.
