Junts inflicted a double defeat of enormous political significance on the Government in Congress this Tuesday by joining its votes with those of PP and Vox to overturn, with only a few minutes’ separation, two of the most sensitive initiatives of the legislature. These were the housing decree promoted by Sumar and the investment consortium agreed between ERC and the PSC to strengthen the Generalitat’s participation in state investments in Catalonia. The setback hits the coalition hard on the eve of the Andalusian campaign, with polls already very adverse for the left against Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla’s PP, which aims to revalidate its absolute majority.

The images recorded by the cameras of the Iryo train that crashed in Adamuz (Córdoba), collected in a new report by the Railway Accident Investigation Commission (CIAF), support the hypothesis of a rail break on the Seville-Madrid high-speed line as the cause of the derailment and subsequent collision with an Alvia, which caused the death of 46 people. From the analysis of the videos, it is “not evident”, as stated in the report accessed by La Vanguardia, that there were “anomalies” in any of the trains involved before 19:43:22 on January 18, when Iryo’s car 6 was circulating at the height “of the breaking point”.

However, the idea launched, especially by the far-right, that “we give too many facilities to immigrants” (59%) has taken hold, and 61% link their presence to an increase in crime and public insecurity.
