The Biennial of Digital Arts is born to make Barcelona the international capital of the sector

Among the amalgam of festivals and digital centers such as Sónar+D, Mira, Offf, or Ideal, Barcelona is advancing towards becoming the capital of digital art. It is practically already so in Europe, but the ambition is to become a benchmark by crossing even more borders in the medium term. To achieve this latter goal, the Biennal d’Arts Digitals has been launched, with the essential support of public administrations: the City Council and the Generalitat Government, together with the Barcelona Creativity & Design Foundation and the collaboration of the Ministry of Culture. The platform aims to serve as an umbrella for all digital initiatives to, in addition to that primary goal, promote co-production between local and international agents and bring digital arts closer to the public.

The CIS places the PSOE again eight points ahead of the PP despite Ábalos’s conviction

Contrary to expectations, the 24-year prison sentence for José Luis Ábalos for corruption offenses when he was Minister of Transport not only harms the PSOE, but seems to boost it, according to the July barometer of the Center for Sociological Research (CIS), published this Wednesday, in which the socialists gain almost two points in estimated vote (33%) compared to June and recover an eight-point lead over the PP (25.1%), which loses two points in a month. Vox continues to lose momentum and would now obtain 15.3%, half a point less than in the last survey, and Sumar (6.1%) also loses three tenths.

Feijóo accuses Sánchez of being “authoritarian” and warns of a “weakened democracy” in Spain before international leaders

One of Alberto Núñez Feijóo’s great convictions if he comes to Government is to strengthen Spain’s role as a bridge between Europe and Latin America. And this Wednesday he has claimed that link at a summit of the European People’s Party (EPP) held in Madrid with 60 political formations from 42 European and Latin American countries with the aim of addressing the challenges of democracy. At this meeting, the leader of the PP wanted to make an assessment of the political situation in Spain and criticized Pedro Sánchez, whom he described as “authoritarian.” “I welcome you to a Spain that also suffers the threat of a weakened democracy, attacked from the highest instances that should defend it above all else,” he stated.

The motor industry in Spain is experiencing its worst year in profits, with a 56% drop, despite the highest level of investment in its history

During 2025, revenue grew by 3.8% compared to 2024, reaching 80,315 million euros; investment soared by 24.7%, up to 3,197 million euros, but at the same time, net results plummeted by 56%, settling at a mere 853 million.
