Javier Bardem: “If I were on a blacklist I would report it, but I feel that more and more they call me from the U.S. to shoot”
Javier Bardem has expressed words of gratitude to the Scottish screenwriter Paul Laverty, who at the press conference of the jury members of the official section of the Cannes festival, defended that the Spanish actor, like Susan Sarandon and Mark Ruffalo, raised their voices publicly in support of Gaza and harshly criticized the American industry for the alleged professional reprisals against the three actors. “I sent him a message through a mutual friend thanking him and also Laverty has always been an artistic and personal reference,” the Oscar-winning actor confessed to a small group of journalists during an interview about his role in El ser querido, by Rodrigo Sorogoyen, which is competing for the Palme d’Or and is officially presented this afternoon at the French festival.
A Sant Fèlix for the history: the Verds unload the first 9-story pillar
Never seen before. A nine-story pillar, a challenge to the laws of physics that seemed impossible just a few years ago, completed this Sunday in the plaza de la Vila de Vilafranca (Alt Penedès) on the diada de Sant Fèlix by a colla castellera accustomed to breaking the barriers of the món casteller. The Castellers de Vilafranca will go down in history as the first colla to complete the nine with folre, manilles, and puntals.

Does the far right grow more in rural areas?
Is the conflict between the countryside and the city a breeding ground for votes for the far right? Some data would support rural unease: an aging and masculinized world, with a large demographic void in which one in five children under 13 is of foreign origin.

Alberto Núñez Feijóo continues in Ceuta this Sunday and has met with associations of the Civil Guard and Police unions at the PP headquarters of the autonomous city. Meanwhile, Miguel Tellado, the party’s secretary general, has deepened the idea of blaming the Government for what happened and has also wanted to warn that Ceuta is far from recovering normality. “We remain just as unprotected.

Trump puts ultra MAGA Bill Pulte in charge of U.S. espionage despite his inexperience
The grand prize for loyalty to Donald Trump went this Tuesday to Bill Pulte, who is the choice of the President of the United States to serve temporarily as the National Intelligence Director replacing Tulsi Gabbard, who will leave the position this month. The chosen one lacks any experience in the field of espionage and until now managed the federal agency for Housing Finance, which is essentially the mortgage market.
Disinformation from Russia is impacting the Spanish army’s “operational capacity”
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has warned in its latest annual report that last year disinformation campaigns have established themselves as “a prominent vector” of instability for Spain. The body that advises the President of the Government on National Security matters has identified Russia as the main actor from which campaigns aimed at influencing political processes, eroding trust in institutions, shaping public opinion, and weakening international cooperation originated.
The town of Castellón that enchants artists and travelers: a cultural refuge between history, art, and nature
Its beauty is such that it seems to have been hand-painted, which is why it has been officially recognized as one of the Most Beautiful Villages in Spain. Unofficially, it has earned another title: “village of the artists.” Perhaps it is because it offers a perfect symbiosis between historical heritage, artistic avant-garde, and landscape richness.
