The Government attributes a “call effect” to the legal dispute in the camp at the port of Ceuta
The Government has attributed the “call effect” that occurred on the morning of this Friday, amid strong tension, to the legal dispute resolved on Wednesday and Thursday in the National Court – following a complaint by the Unified Police Union (SUP) – due to the opening of the new camp in the facilities set up in the port of Ceuta, where more than 1,700 immigrants have been relocated to begin the process of their identification, a month and a half after the migratory avalanche that took place at the border of the autonomous city on July 30 and 31.
Legarda, the town that burned down in 2022: this is how they now protect themselves from fire with cows, sprinklers, and drills
In June 2022, the residents of Legarda (Navarra) experienced the same nightmare that those in Los Gallardos (Almería) are living today. Extreme heat, low humidity, strong winds, a flame that seemed isolated, and hell. Although there were no fatalities, the forest fire burned 95% of the municipality. Three buildings were completely destroyed. The parish church suffered significant damage from the fire. And all the agricultural plots lost their crops. “In a matter of minutes, we saw how the fire reached the town,” recalls Silvestre Belzunegui, the town’s mayor.
The Government prepares a major screening to tackle the ‘boom’ of data centers
The Government is preparing to implement a major screening to put order in the large number of permits granted for the construction of data centers in Spain, whose volume, if fully installed, would seriously strain an already questioned electrical grid following the blackout.
Tim Jackson: “The idea of always having more is dangerous”
All societies, explains British economist Tim Jackson (1957), cling to a myth by which they live. Ours is the myth of growth. Eternal growth that one day will solve all our problems. It is useful, he admits, when you have little. But in excess it begins to cause imbalances. “Human prosperity has to do above all with health,” he points out. And he believes that the myth of growth, driven by male economists who have focused on productivity, efficiency, and the invisible hand of the market, and who have left aside the “invisible heart of society,” the poorly paid work of women, has failed. Jackson, author of Post-Growth and emeritus at the University of Surrey, thinks it is time to change it. He publishes L’economia de la cura (Arcàdia), which will appear in Spanish at Paidós in October.

Brussels prepares restrictions on tourist rentals and second homes
The European Commission opens the door to allowing municipalities to impose restrictions on second homes and tourist rentals in the areas most threatened by the housing crisis sweeping the continent. The regulation does not prohibit second homes in any case, but according to a draft of the proposal accessed by this newspaper, it would provide legal coverage to municipalities and governments so that they can limit the purchase of housing for non-regular use in areas of greatest housing tension, provided they present evidence with data justifying the measure and demonstrate that there are no less restrictive alternatives to solve the problem.
From The Cure to Addison Rae, the essentials of Primavera Sound
By now, there will be few owners of a ticket for Primavera Sound who have not drawn their own route through the 18 stages that this 24th edition will have, six of them large-sized. Pop, rock, electronic, folk, as well as any of their derivatives, will have their reference from June 3 to 6, and the following are a reflection that serves as a starting point to get to know the rest or, simply, to whet the appetite of those who cannot attend the Parc del Fòrum during Barcelona’s big festival week.
Argentina: out of the WHO and with the highest hantavirus case rate
Although Argentina formalized its exit from the World Health Organization (WHO) last March 19, a year after having communicated its intention to leave this organization, the hantavirus outbreak detected on the Hondius cruise ship, which had departed from the Argentine town of Ushuaia, does not have a direct relationship with the resignation to coordinate health efforts with the rest of the countries, because there has not been enough time for the negative consequences that it may have in the longer term to develop. Already last year, Argentina was the country in the region that had reported the highest number of hantavirus infection cases, with 66, from November to January 2025.
