Lola García: “It is a clear endorsement of the arguments that supported the amnesty law and dispels the idea that it had no legal basis”

The endorsement of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) for the amnesty law represents an important support for the Government’s political strategy and strengthens the rule promoted to close the cases arising from the procés. However, Carles Puigdemont’s judicial situation does not change immediately. The deputy director of La Vanguardia, Lola García, explains that the former president remains subject to an arrest warrant in Spain because the Supreme Court continues to consider that the crime of embezzlement cannot be amnestied in his case.

That was the start of a yellow wave that has continued to be visible. It is now June and the conflict has not been resolved. What has happened since then?

The forest fire that started in La Mierla, which has already ravaged more than 26,000 hectares in the Sierra Norte of Guadalajara, is not only leaving behind a scorched landscape and a long list of confined or evacuated municipalities.

Alberto Núñez Feijóo has been very critical of the “agreed interview” that José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero granted to RTVE to explain the jewels valued at 1.3 million euros and the alleged collection of a commission for helping with the rescue of Plus Ultra. In the opinion of the PP leader, Zapatero “answered nothing” and assured that Pedro Sánchez “is in Zapatero’s hands and Zapatero is in Julio Martínez’s hands,” referring to the businessman who confessed that the former President of the Government took 1% of the Plus Ultra rescue.

Josefina Molina passes away, the director who paved the way for women filmmakers in Spain

Alen Craig4 months ago4 months ago04 mins

Josefina Molina (Córdoba, 1936), director of works such as Función de noche, Esquilache, or the series Teresa de Jesús, dedicated a good part of her life to demonstrating that the female perspective was not an exception in the history of cinema, but an essential part of it. A pioneer of Spanish audiovisual, the first woman to graduate in Directing from the Official Film School and the first filmmaker to receive the Honorary Goya, she turned each project into a claim for female freedom to tell their own stories. “To see the world in relief you have to have two eyes and Humanity has been one-eyed for too long,” Molina stated. The sentence ended up becoming the best summary of a life dedicated to broadening the perspective of cinema. The director passed away this Saturday in Madrid at the age of 89. The wake will take place at the Boadilla del Monte funeral home starting at 16:00 hours.
