Legarda, the town that burned down in 2022: this is how they now protect themselves from fire with cows, sprinklers, and drills

In June 2022, the residents of Legarda (Navarra) experienced the same nightmare that those in Los Gallardos (Almería) are living today. Extreme heat, low humidity, strong winds, a flame that seemed isolated, and hell. Although there were no fatalities, the forest fire burned 95% of the municipality. Three buildings were completely destroyed. The parish church suffered significant damage from the fire. And all the agricultural plots lost their crops. “In a matter of minutes, we saw how the fire reached the town,” recalls Silvestre Belzunegui, the town’s mayor.

Moreno would achieve an absolute majority and Montero would obtain the worst results for the PSOE, according to the polls

The current president of the Junta of Andalusia and candidate for re-election for the Popular Party, Juanma Moreno, would have managed to secure an absolute majority in the regional elections held this Sunday, according to polls conducted by Sigma Dos for Canal Sur and NC Report for La Razón, which give the socialist candidate, María Jesús Montero, the worst results for the PSOE in the community in its entire history. The polls thus depict a scenario of free hands for the Andalusian president, without the constraints of Vox, which shows clear signs of stagnation.

Juanma Moreno's kryptonite

Juanma Moreno’s kryptonite

For almost 40 years Andalusia was considered a socialist stronghold. It seemed like an enormous impregnable fortress. The socialists managed to blend in with the landscape in a remarkable way by identifying their brand with the construction of autonomy and the strengthening of an Andalusian identity in the early 80s.

All this gave it an undeniable political stability. Now it is one of the few autonomous communities where the PP governs with an absolute majority, at a time when that achievement is a rarity. Has Andalusia turned to the right?

Cospedal on Bárcenas: “That person you’re talking about did not have compromising papers”

“I will answer everything I am asked.” Although the president of the court judging Operation Kitchen warned her that she had been provisionally cleared, meaning any false answer could serve to reopen the case against her, the former secretary general of the Popular Party arrived this Thursday at the Audiencia Nacional eager to distance herself from any parapolice operation to steal information from Luis Bárcenas because at that time she “was certain” that “that person you are talking about” (referring to the former treasurer) did not have any document that could compromise the Popular Party leadership over its irregular financing. Words that could contradict a recording that was made public in which she asked former commissioner José Manuel Villarejo:
