A judge rules against Leitat’s ERE and drives up the cost of the process

The court overturns part of the layoffs due to the ERE carried out in 2024 by the Leitat technology center, in which the employers’ association Cecot and the public company Acció, among others, participate on the board. About sixty workers filed a lawsuit claiming that the process was carried out without proper information during the negotiation. They are now given the reason and their dismissal is declared null, according to a ruling by the Social Court No. 1 of Terrassa dated last July 6 and issued by Judge Rosa Milán Hernández, which La Vanguardia has accessed. The decision, which can be appealed, could have a million-euro impact.

But on this occasion, after the global debacle, it wrote a separate chapter to indicate that the widespread collapse, especially in reading, coincides in time with two phenomena: the widespread use of mobile phones and the use of AI. It links intensive use of artificial intelligence with lower performance. The countries that perform best have used less AI. Spain, in this regard, is a champion in the use and frequency of AI.

Stabbed and buried in a house, the cruel end of the witness to the CAM crime

Stabbed and buried in a house, the cruel end of the witness to the CAM crime

The mysterious disappearance in mid-March of Jesús Tavira made headlines due to its connection with the most high-profile criminal case Alicante has experienced in recent decades: the unsolved murder of Maria del Carmen Martínez, widow of the former president of the Caja de Ahorros del Mediterráneo, Vicente Sala. The discovery of the businessman’s body, stabbed multiple times and buried in a modest house on the rural outskirts of Alicante, no matter how sordid and gruesome the crime, would not have drawn so many cameras and so much public speculation without the link that connected Tavira to another murder committed almost ten years ago that remains unsolved, that of the matriarch of a wealthy family embroiled in inheritance disputes.
