The climax of the trial against David Sánchez at the Badajoz Court is approaching for the alleged crimes of malfeasance and influence peddling. The brother of the Prime Minister will testify this Thursday and will have the opportunity to defend himself against the accusations that he was appointed in the Badajoz Provincial Council in 2017. Also testifying in this fifth session of the trial will be the former president of the Provincial Council and former secretary general of the PSOE of Extremadura, Miguel Ángel Gallardo, accused of having designed a senior management position tailored for David Sánchez.

Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, has denied that there has been a diplomatic crisis with Spain on account of Spain’s recognition of the suffering caused by the conquest of America. “There is no diplomatic crisis, there never has been. What is important is that the strength of the indigenous peoples for our homeland be recognized,” she explained upon her arrival at the IV Meeting in Defense of Democracy taking place in Barcelona this Saturday.

What remains of the wooden walkway that welcomed bathers on El Trampolín beach seems to divide in two the different futures awaiting the immigrants who refuse to leave Ceuta after crossing the border in a rush two weeks ago.

Tension in the European Social Democratic family. The behavior of the Danish Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen, aligning herself with the Italian Giorgia Meloni in the Ceuta migration crisis, seems to have been the last straw. The Vice President of the European Parliament and member of the PSC-PSOE, Javi López, and the Foreign Affairs head of the Italian Democratic Party (PD), Beppe Provenzano, have formally protested to the Party of European Socialists (PES) over her unsupportive attitude, in a very unusual public gesture within the same political family. It is not very common for such criticism to be raised and for the issue to be requested to be addressed in the governing bodies.
