Jonathan Andic called 112 crying: “I need help. My father has fallen”

Jonathan Andic called 112 at noon on December 14, 2024, after the fatal fall of his father, Isak Andic, on the Camí de les Feixades de Montserrat. He spoke with three operators, one from the emergency system, one from the Generalitat Firefighters, and a nurse from the SEM while he was on his way to the location. The three brief communications are reproduced by lawyer Cristóbal Martell in the 27-page appeal filed at three in the afternoon at the Barcelona Court, against the detention order for an alleged homicide crime by the victim’s son. In the three very brief calls, the son of the founder of Mango is heard crying. “I need help. I need help. My father has fallen. Ah, we are in Collbató. Yes, he has fallen.” When the operator asks if he fell or tripped, the businessman’s son responds through tears: “I think he fell off a cliff, please send someone, send an ambulance, send someone, please.”

In the fires of Ávila, Madrid, and Toledo, there are 59.896 evacuated and 29.867 confined.

Key SMS messages against Fernández Díaz vanish

Key SMS messages against Fernández Díaz vanish

Former Interior Minister Jorge Fernández Díaz has witnessed from the front row of the dock at the Audiencia Nacional how the main evidence against him for his alleged involvement in Operation Kitchen has finally vanished. The smoking gun that dragged him here are some messages supposedly sent to him by his former number two, Francisco Martínez, in which he told him that the operation to steal information from the former treasurer of the Popular Party, Luis Bárcenas, had been carried out “successfully,” with “all” of it being dumped. This Tuesday, a second notary —just like the first one did— has ratified that it is impossible to certify that the phone number Martínez had attributed on his mobile to the contact saved as Fernández Díaz actually belonged to the former Interior Minister.

Le Pen’s party distances itself from the AfD’s victory in Germany

The very discreet and distant reaction of the National Rally (RN, far right), Marine Le Pen’s party, to the resounding victory of Alternative for Germany (AfD) in the state of Saxony-Anhalt contrasts with the widespread alarm among French parties over the rise of the ultras in the neighboring country. Only the Reconquest party, led by Éric Zemmour, an ally of AfD in the European Parliament, has expressed its satisfaction, albeit without excessive enthusiasm.

Nolan’s Odyssey and the misunderstanding of historical accuracy: Homer was not faithful to the past either

Since it was announced that Christopher Nolan’s next film after the Oscar-winning Oppenheimer (2023) would be an adaptation of the Odyssey, its development has been scrutinized with the precision of an archaeologist. The controversy surrounding the project matches its extraordinary artistic ambition, its monumental budget, and the enormous anticipation it has generated. Like Odysseus/Ulysses waiting for the right moment to blind Polyphemus, the most critical remained on the lookout for any mistake.
