The Government takes control of the port of Ceuta, against Vivas’ opinion, to be able to accommodate immigrants
The central government has taken control of the port of Ceuta to install a tent where immigrants who remain in the autonomous city can be housed. It is estimated that around a thousand people could access these new facilities that the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security, and Migrations is going to install.

Is Shakira a tax stateless person?
From reading Shakira’s sentence, it can be inferred that the singer was somewhat like a tax stateless person in 2011. The ruling of the Court holds that it has not been proven that she was a resident in Spain for 183 days for tax purposes, but her defense also did not claim that she was in another jurisdiction during those days. “She had a tax certificate at her home in the Bahamas. But the truth is that she is not a resident for 183 days anywhere because she is actually on an international tour,” says her lawyer, José Luis Prada.

The winner of the elections was elected Chancellor in a second vote after failing to secure enough votes from the deputies in the first vote, an unprecedented event in the history of the Federal Republic. Thus was born, visibly weakened, his leadership as head of a coalition government of conservatives and social democrats that has often been at odds since then.
A book claims that Brigitte’s slap to Macron was motivated by some messages from the president to an actress
Gabriel García Márquez said that in life “one must be unfaithful, but never disloyal.” And precisely around that supposed disloyalty revolve the reasons that hover over the episode that, a year ago now, turned Brigitte Macron and Emmanuel Macron into involuntary protagonists of one of the most talked-about scenes in international politics, following a controversial slap that the French first lady gave to the president, and also husband, during an official trip to Vietnam.

Spain-France friendship, at risk
The political and diplomatic friendship between Spain and France could suffer a serious deterioration in the coming weeks. What happens when a country’s Parliament rejects twice the validation of a new friendship treaty with its main neighboring country? That is what could happen in the coming weeks between France and Spain. There is a possibility that the Congress of Deputies will reject for the second time the official ratification of the new treaty of friendship and cooperation with France signed on January 19, 2023, in Montjuïc, under the title Treaty of Barcelona.

Iceland, a nation divided over the option of closer ties with the EU
The swans, ducks, and geese of Lake Tjörnin, the idyllic urban pond of Reykjavik, swim peacefully under the cool August sun, unaware of the division with which Icelandic society faces today’s referendum on whether or not to resume negotiations with Brussels for accession to the European Union (EU).
