Isabel Díaz Ayuso has once again drawn her own political perimeter. And bypassing the board set by the national Popular Party for regional negotiations, the president of the Community of Madrid has not hesitated one bit to place herself at the antipodes of Vox’s migratory discourse, accusing Santiago Abascal’s party of using arguments with a “racist tint”.
They arrive via other Spanish and European destinations, because there is not yet a direct flight connecting any city in their country with Valencia, but American tourists have become the most numerous among foreigners visiting hotels in the capital of the Valencian Community.
How are Valencian teachers? Will there be any progress? When will the strike end? The questions pile up in concentrations, protests, at the school gates, among families… The indefinite education strike that has been shaking public education in the Valencian Community since May 11 -yesterday with a 5.29% follow-up, according to Education- soaks everything, dyes everything green but, for now, with no solution in sight.
The Minister of Education, Culture and Universities, Carmen Ortí, announced this Thursday her intention to convene the unions tomorrow Friday for a new in-person negotiation meeting at 2:00 p.m. In the corridors of the Corts Valencianes, where Ortí was presenting the budget figures for her department, the head of Education stated that she hopes “the physical integrity and freedom of the attendees will be respected,” which, in her opinion, will greatly help to “unblock the situation.”
The residents of l’Hospitalet are this year the most affected by the usual summer infrastructure renovation cuts in the Barcelona metro. Line L1 will be out of service between Florida and Plaça de Sants stations from July 17 to August 28. It will be six weeks during which users of the closed section of the red line will be without metro service. Those from the rest of l’Hospitalet will have to choose the best alternative to avoid extending their journey more than necessary during the hottest days of the year with fewer passengers on the subway. Around 40,000 people will be affected every day.
The 3.500 shared bicycles from private companies deployed on the streets of Barcelona will disappear on January 1st next year. The City Council has decided not to renew the licenses granted two years ago to companies that offer electric bicycles parked on the street and that are paid for by the minutes they are used, like shared motorcycles, which continue to operate unaffected by this change.
The Garraf tunnels, with pillars next to the sea suspended in the air and viaducts supported by visibly deteriorated concrete columns, became a symbol of the poor state of the railway network in Catalonia. They had been like this for several months, but the works considered an emergency were never truly urgent, until everything blew up after a landslide caused the death of a trainee driver in Gelida.
An air conditioner breaks down, and the first thing you think about is how much it’s going to cost. Then you think about whether it’s worth repairing or just replacing it. And then the question arises: do I fix it or buy a new one? The answer is almost always the same. Not because repairing isn’t feasible, but because often the repair price dangerously approaches the purchase price.
After Los domingos, comes La luz, which will light up cinemas next Friday. If the first film, by Alauda Ruiz de Azúa, showed from different points of view the reasons that can push a modern-day teenager to shut herself away in a cloistered monastery, the no less extraordinary film by Fernando Franco, director of great films such as La herida or La consagración de la primavera, tells us about a priest, masterfully played by Alberto San Juan, trapped by his past as a sexual abuser.
Platja de Palma, in Mallorca, had an unfortunate visitor that caused moments of tension among bathers this past Friday. It was a horseshoe snake, an specimen with a great capacity for swimming in the sea and that caused several people to move away from its path.
