The Urban Guard will carry metal detectors in all their cars

The Urban Guard will carry metal detectors in all their cars

It is unclear whether it slipped out – it seems the announcement was planned for this Tuesday, during the welcome to the new agents of the Urban Guard – or if the mayor wanted to respond preventively to the reprimand that shortly after, in a press conference, came from the Junts bench regarding the use of bladed weapons in Barcelona. Jaume Collboni took advantage of a housing event this Monday (see the previous page) to announce that all local police vehicles will carry a metal detector shovel in the trunk. This will happen starting next year, when the entire fleet of 184 cars is scheduled to be renewed for about 20 million euros.

The first Christians in Sweden buried children with adults with whom they did not share biological ties during the Middle Ages

Burying babies with their fathers, mothers, grandfathers, grandmothers, or brothers and sisters in the same grave has been common throughout human history. What is surprising, however, is that these children are buried with adults with whom they share no biological relationship. That is precisely what the first Christian communities in Sweden did during the Middle Ages.

Goodbye to José Legra, the boxer who did not ask Franco for a tobacco shop

The legendary boxer José Legrá, “the puma of Baracoa,” has passed away in Madrid at the age of 83, leaving memorable fights and extraordinary charm in memory.

European justice will set precedent on the Amnesty law this week

European justice will set precedent on the Amnesty law this week

The European Court of Justice will set a precedent on the Amnesty law for the first time on Thursday and will give the green light for the Constitutional Court (TC) to rule on the protection appeals pending resolution two years after the entry into force of the criminal forgetfulness. The ruling, beyond the legal effects, will have political repercussions. If favorable, it will represent a boost to the Government of Pedro Sánchez’s bet – heavily criticized in the first part of the legislature by PP and Vox – and will begin to clear the way for the return of former president Carles Puigdemont and former ministers Lluís Puig and Toni Comín, who are still expatriated.

The triple crime of Isla Cristina focuses on drug trafficking violence

In Isla Cristina, these days people should be talking about the traditional festival of the Virgen del Mar, but that is not the case. Since Sunday, when the triple murder occurred, many conversations revolve around the few details that have emerged about the shooting, an investigation that remains under judicial secrecy but whose main hypothesis is that it is a settling of scores between two families involved in drug trafficking. The conflict between the two clans dates back to 2024, when a man was shot dead in the Torrejón neighborhood, in Huelva city, and two other people were injured. The alleged perpetrator, nicknamed Baba, was later arrested in Gijón.

Aragón displaces Catalunya among the most dynamic regions in Europe

That the Spanish regional economies advance at different speeds is no secret. But the convergence between them –and the ranking of the autonomous communities that accelerate the most in per capita GDP growth– has been changing recently. A report published yesterday by the Bank of Spain confirms that Aragón has displaced Catalonia among the most dynamic regions in Europe and places its capacity to convert resources into economic growth at a level similar to that of the Community of Madrid and the Basque Country.
