Gianni Infantino, president of FIFA, gave an interview this Sunday to the Swiss television channel Blue Sport where he opened the door to a new expansion of participating teams in the World Cup. The Swiss official assured that it is “a matter that will be examined after this World Cup.” It is worth remembering that in this edition, which is held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, the number of national teams was already expanded to 48, 16 more teams than in previous editions.
The Spanish team trained this Sunday without major incidents on the green of the legendary Cotton Bowl in Dallas, which has been the center of operations during the days leading up to the match against Portugal, which also took place in Texas. The agonizing victory against Belgium has left a very good taste in Spain’s ranks, reaching a World Cup semifinal for the second time in history. With France on the horizon as the last obstacle before the final in New York, there is a debate that captures all the attention and it is none other than the role Pedri will have for the match against Mbappé, Dembélé, and company.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares, did not hold back this morning when attacking the foreign policy line of the Popular Party (PP) and stating that they are “absolutely incapable of governing.” Commenting on the crisis triggered by the xenophobic opinion about the French team from former president Mariano Rajoy, Albares has asked the PP to stop “boycotting” Spanish foreign policy and the relationships it has with neighboring countries such as France, Morocco, or Algeria.
It is surprising to visit with today’s eyes the “journalists’ chalets” of the past, those single-family homes, with outdoor vegetation, terraces, and a modernist air that the architect Enrique Viedma (València, 1889-1959) built in 1935 next to Blasco Ibáñez Avenue in the capital of the Túria. Single-family homes, with a lobby, living room, kitchen, three or four bedrooms, outdoor patio, and a privileged location next to the Viveros gardens that were designed for the Press Association. Looking at them with the eyes of a city now besieged by the real estate crisis, which tears its seams, raises its prices, and expels its neighbors, is even more surprising.
There are those in the Valencian PP who are outraged these days by the methods that Génova has deployed regarding the future of the party in the Valencian Community. In reality, it has almost always been the norm. I say this in light of the uncertainty that has settled due to the suspicious delay…
Renting in Valencia is already so expensive that the latest survey by the Valencian Community Real Estate Association (ASICVAL) states that 13.9% of tenants choose to share housing and 12% resort to renting rooms. And yet the survey says that the trend “has moderated,” because a year ago it represented 31.8%. These are those who still resist and look in the city, but there are many others who leave the municipality to find that accommodation that meets their needs and not just their desires, since according to Valencian real estate agents, price is also the main reason why 28.4% of tenants are forced to expand their search outside the main urban centers. They add that those who share housing without family ties are 33.4% of tenants, when a year ago they represented 19.3%, almost double.
If a courtroom causes some discomfort to any adult – being an environment that is not very friendly at first glance – imagine for children and adolescents. There are doctrinal studies that offer recommendations to make that space more welcoming for them, but the Departament de Justícia de la Generalitat – in coordination with the Drets Socials – has wanted to go one step further. How? By creating a practical guide, in the civil field, for the hearing of children and adolescents in family judicial proceedings.
Despite the perception that investment companies dominate the buying and selling of homes in Barcelona, the data shows that the vast majority of transactions in the Catalan capital are still carried out by individuals. According to a report prepared by the Cambra de la Propietat Urbana de Barcelona with data from the Notary Statistical Portal, individuals accounted for 87% of the sales registered in 2025, compared to 13% signed by legal entities. Last week, the Parliament gave the green light to urgently process the restriction on the purchase of homes in pressured areas unless it is to reside, for a family member, or to rent it out residentially, with the aim of avoiding real estate speculation by funds.
