Merz on the ultra victory in Saxony-Anhalt: “There will be consequences, but surrender is not an option”

At a press conference in Berlin alongside the still regional president of the state, the Christian Democrat Sven Schulze, the Chancellor said that this victory “will have consequences” and that “it is not possible to simply return to the agenda without more.”

Santander begins to shine as the new cultural beacon of the north

The feeling here is that we are not facing the opening of just another museum, but that the opening of Faro Santander, the former headquarters of Banco de Santander now inhabited by Titian, Velázquez, Rubens, Tàpies, Cristina Iglesias, Frida Kahlo, or Leonora Carrington, is not only the culmination of one of the most ambitious projects of recent years, but the starting point of a transformation that will turn the Cantabrian capital into one of the most vibrant and unique cultural hubs in Spain. “We are part of what is about to come, we open the door to everything that follows,” says its director, Daniel Vega, who this Monday, after the inaugural event, was responsible for guiding King Felipe VI through the different spaces of the building renovated by architect and Pritzker Prize winner David Chipperfield: 10,000 square meters of cultural center with views of the bay and the Centro Botín by Renzo Piano, which since 2017 has marked the new direction of a city that is betting its future on art.

Sánchez warns of the “ultra threat” and positions himself as the “vanguard of progress against the reactionaries”

The PSOE spokesperson in Congress, Patxi López, has put the bull in Pedro Sánchez’s court, warning of the “terrifying result” of the German far-right in the regional elections on Sunday in Saxony-Anhalt: “We are more necessary than ever, we are their only brake. Only we remain to stop them, there is no one else with enough strength and conviction to stop them.” At the same time, almost all polls insist every day on predicting the electoral victory of the Popular Party and the far-right Vox in Spain, as the last regional electoral cycle already forecasted, but Patxi López has assured that the socialists “have the best captain” to try to stop this right-wing wave sweeping Europe and the world, and to try to reverse the demographic forecasts.
