The PISA 2025 report (Programme for International Student Assessment, in English), released this morning, indicates that Spain is below the OECD and EU averages in the three competencies analyzed (mathematics, reading, and science) and plummets compared to its own 2022 data where a sharp decline had already occurred. It is the worst result in its historical series since the year 2000.
The Juvenile Prosecutor’s Office of Ceuta has referred to the Court several complaints filed by unaccompanied minor migrants who claim to have suffered abuse, humiliation, and mistreatment in reception centers of the autonomous city’s protection network.
There are matches that last a sneeze; others, on the other hand, are as long as a night watching over a baby. The Madrid-Oviedo (2-0) with nothing at stake falls squarely into the second category. What is the point of the game of a team whose motto is only to win when it can no longer do so? That is what the white footballers who took to the pitch would have thought, whistled at by their fans during the warm-up, then victims of a sepulchral silence in a half-empty Bernabéu. It is more interesting to spend the San Isidro holiday elsewhere than watching Camavinga lose balls in his season to forget, the icing on the cake being that, hours before the match, it was made official that he would miss the World Cup. “I understand that he is pissed off,” said the eloquent Didier Deschamps.
The Central Electoral Board (JEC) demanded this Thursday to strengthen controls over the assignment of the electoral municipality of Spaniards naturalized under the so-called ‘grandchildren law’ and ordered the preparation of an instruction that unifies the criteria used by the consulates to decide the district in which they are registered.
Xavier Marcé stopped by Celler de Gelida, at number 65 Vallespir street, and, coincidentally or not so much, Antoni Falgueras, owner of this 131-year-old winery now run by his son Ferran, was there. The Culture councilor would undoubtedly take some wine, and at the moment of paying the bill, things must have gone more or less like this:
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.
A cup with a little bit of coffee with milk left rests on the table of Uishèra’s cabin, early on Saturday, July 4th. We imagine that the shepherd has recently gone out to check the flocks, although we don’t see anyone on the mountain. We also don’t spot goats or sheep, nor their guard dogs. In case a protective dog shows up, Manu has a plan B, to climb the neighboring Montlude to avoid potential problems. But it is not necessary to put it into practice.
What would good stories be without secondary characters? Without being the pillars of the narrative, they also support it and give it depth and texture; it is often they who lift the veil of appearances, at least a little. For that reason, they put so much effort into the castings that brought Vida privada (1932), Josep Maria de Sagarra’s great novel, to the screen.
Traffic cuts and disruptions to train circulation following the heavy rains recorded early this morning on the Costa Daurada. The Meteorological Service of Catalonia issued a warning on Saturday for rain accumulation after nearly 200 liters per square meter were recorded in a few hours on the Baix Penedès coast and more than 110 liters per square meter in some points on the northern coast of Tarragonès.
The Barça women’s team has many layers. And they are all made of overcoming, effort, and successes. Barça is Aitana excited after the most difficult year of her career, but arriving in time to push the team in the final stretch. It is Cata Coll, without work under the posts for the rest of the year but appearing in Oslo with saves for the history books and leading the celebration in the locker room alongside Pina. It is Ewa Pajor finally breaking her personal curse and proving that, in her case, the sixth time was the charm. The Polish player bowed to the trophy and kissed it emotionally.
