The PP downplays Rajoy’s words about France: “They are comments in favor of Spain and without bad intentions”

The PP has downplayed Mariano Rajoy’s words about the French national football team, which will face Spain this Tuesday in the World Cup.

Brussels will coordinate energy reserves to avoid supply problems in Europe

EU countries already have their box of recommendations from the European Commission to mitigate the energy crisis stemming from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. And it does not include the suggestion of teleworking, as an earlier draft stated, but it does include reinforced coordination of energy reserve storage among Member States, one of the few competencies the Community Executive has in this area.

Isabel Pantoja: the only one capable of keeping the tragedy and the myth alive

On April 30, 1983, Seville took to the streets.

She was the popular tonadillera and he, a bullfighter on the podium and recently divorced from Carmen Ordóñez. The crowd, devout and uncontrollable, stepped on her bridal train causing the very artistic bride to faint on the way to the ceremony.

“What has happened completely changes Zapatero’s legacy”

The investigation into the rescue of Plus Ultra continues to accumulate evidence and politically pressure José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, but the judicial uncertainties remain numerous.

However, he recalled that the judicial order known so far “still does not clearly reveal what the role of the former president was.”

The EU rejects Spain’s request to suspend the association agreement with Israel

The European Union resists breaking with Israel and has again ruled out suspending the Association Agreement. Not even partially. The issue, which had been formally requested by the Spanish Government, was the focus of Tuesday’s meeting of foreign ministers in Luxembourg, but the Council refused to make any decision on the matter due to the persistent division among the Twenty-Seven on an issue that remains too delicate for some capitals.
