Does Judge Juan Carlos Peinado deserve to be sanctioned? That question has divided judges. The permanent commission of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) met yesterday morning to debate the five complaints against Peinado, the investigating judge in the case of Begoña Gómez, wife of the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez.
The demonstration of intelligence that Verónica, a Swiss Brown cow specimen, showed in January made the scientific community reflect. Verónica became the first cow recorded using a tool: a stick that allowed her to reach parts of her body she could not scratch. Researchers from the National Institute for Agricultural Research, Food, and Environment of France observed the phenomenon and considered studying the memory of cows. Specifically, whether they could “discriminate between familiar and unfamiliar faces.”
How are Valencian teachers? Will there be any progress? When will the strike end? The questions pile up in concentrations, protests, at the school gates, among families… The indefinite education strike that has been shaking public education in the Valencian Community since May 11 -yesterday with a 5.29% follow-up, according to Education- soaks everything, dyes everything green but, for now, with no solution in sight.
I’m “going as a lady with chemo.” This was the response that Teresa Rodríguez, founder of Adelante Andalucía, gave yesterday on her social media to an internet user who was mocking her for wearing a kufiya on her head. “What are you dressed up as?” he snapped. The response left no one indifferent.
Comics do not take center stage at Sant Jordi, but there are places where they do set the pace. At Arc de Triomf, among the stalls that stretch towards Passeig de Lluís Companys and the beginning of Passeig de Sant Joan, one of those spaces is concentrated where the type of books and the profile of the public draw a different scene within the traditional April 23rd celebration in Barcelona.
The first witnesses deflated the accusations against David Sánchez yesterday. “I don’t remember,” “I have no evidence,” or “there were no irregularities” were the main statements during the long court session. The brother of the Prime Minister sits in the dock at the Badajoz Court accused of separate crimes of malfeasance and influence peddling for allegedly having been given a job at the Badajoz Provincial Council in 2017.
Spain is not the country in the European Union where the most people smoke. According to Eurostat data from 2023, 24% of the population over 15 years old are smokers, a percentage that coincides with the European average. Countries like Bulgaria (37%) or Greece (35%) are above the Spanish prevalence of smokers, while Sweden (8%) and the Netherlands (11%) record some of the lowest rates. However, smoking remains one of Europe’s main public health problems: the European Region – as defined by the WHO, which includes countries outside the EU – has the highest prevalence of smokers in the world, at 24.1%, above the global average (19.5%).
They are watching their phones and the sky all day, in case a column of smoke forms again. The neighbors also watch roads and highways, in case they see any suspicious movement. The ADF volunteers barely get any sleep and, in addition to the firefighters, forest agents, Civil Guard, and Mossos remain deployed on the ground. In the mountains behind Santes Creus (Aiguamúrcia), in the extensive and lush forests of this part of Alt Camp, northern Penedès, and southern Anoia, they have been on alert for ten days. Six fires and several reactivations of the fire have raised alarms. Everything indicates that an arsonist is on the loose.
The victories earned by hard work are valued twice as much, and if they are to win Wimbledon, three times as much. Jannik Sinner knows this well, defeated in Australia, fainted at Roland Garros, and who recovers on the grass of the All England Club. In a final that is for a long time a bombardment, the Italian rises against a tenacious Alexander Zverev to finally prevail 6-7 (9), 7-6 (2), 6-3, and 6-4 in 3 hours and 46 minutes. He is crowned for the second consecutive time at Wimbledon and captures his fifth Grand Slam title.
Vox, with its national priority, is advancing its narrative, but is awaiting the Andalusian result and event.
