The Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office wants to know if the meetings at the State Attorney General’s Office with Leire Díez, known as the PSOE’s “plumber,” are true. In a document submitted in the case investigating a plot to torpedo judicial cases affecting the Socialist Party or the environment of the President of the Government, the prosecutors demand that the instructor request the visitor log at the Ministry’s headquarters on Fortuny Street, between April 2024 and June 2025, for a series of people.
Pedro Sánchez has stated that all the revelations from the summary of the Leire Díez case, which, according to the investigation, would have been orchestrated by his former right-hand man in the PSOE, Santos Cerdán, “fill us with disappointment, concern, and indignation.” Not only the entire Government and the entire PSOE: “Me too,” he warned.

New times are dawning, the same or worse (not better), and the media ring has moved to television sets as exotic as they are phenomenally popular. The candidates for the presidency of Real Madrid have understood this and have adapted without hesitation. If Enrique Riquelme was the guest on Wednesday of El Hormiguero on Antena 3, where he promised Haaland, Florentino Pérez appeared the next day on the Horizonte program, a device originally created to talk about paranormal phenomena, now dedicated to all kinds of analysis, including political covens with psychedelic effects.

Around 7:50 PM, as expected, it started raining over Parc del Fòrum, where the Primavera Sound festival is being held. The rain was very heavy, mixed with wind, during the performance of groups like the American band Geese. The wind caused water to reach inside the stage; the Americans were literally soaked. And just five minutes before Geese finished their concert, it was suspended, as were all the festival’s performances. An announcement was made over the PA system to everyone about the suspension of performances until further notice. Among the concerts that have been definitively suspended are those of Alex G and Mac DeMarco.
