A 1,000-square-meter children’s amusement park next to Barça Café, on the esplanade of the Spotify Camp Nou, and an agreement with Ohana Real Estate Development to create a real estate project in Dubai inspired by the Barça brand. These are two of the projects that began to be created at the end of 2025 and that the club will now take to the assembly on September 19 for the members to decide.
The survival of the Seat brand beyond 2030 “is still being analyzed,” with “various scenarios” and “all options” on the table, from continuity to its disappearance, a company statement distributed yesterday warned. Without having made any decision yet, “the continuity of the brand will be evaluated based on how regulations evolve – such as emissions –, customer demand, and market conditions.” These are three key factors that will define its future. The statement included words from Oliver Blume, CEO of the Volkswagen Group, its owner, in which he showed strong support for Seat S.A. – the parent company and responsible for the Martorell plant – but without direct reference to the Seat brand.
It may not be easy to put yourself in Tim Cook’s shoes, replacing at the helm of the Apple empire the man who has managed to turn the group into a true technological giant and an iconic global brand. But some incentives help a lot to get through the tough time. John Ternus,…
The wait has been longer than expected, but on September 18th Barcelona will bring back JazzSí for music under new ownership, led by the former managers of the Milano Jazz Club. The venue on Requesens Street where Rosalía made her first live appearances, and where Enrique Morente or Mayte Martín have been seen, will reopen three years after its closure – hampered by the economic hardships of covid – continuing more than three decades of live music in a city sorely lacking these spaces.
For decades, the United States has acted as the country guaranteeing its allies safe navigation on the seas, a stable dollar, and property rights. In return, they bought weapons and energy from Washington and provided cheap financing by acquiring quantities…
The Minister of Education and Vocational Training, Esther Niubó, begins the new school year with a strike and with Catalonia excluded from the PISA report. In this interview, she proposes opening a phase of “construction” with the unions and promoting spaces for dialogue with the community on aspects of the system, such as inclusive schooling or immigration, and pedagogical issues: “If a child is not reading in 3rd grade of Primary, what do we have to do?”.
The Government passed the first step yesterday for Spain to have a new system of regional financing. The one currently in force dates back to 2009, when the country was very different, and, therefore, has been expired for 12 years. The Council of Fiscal and Financial Policy approved the proposal of the model that had been devised by the Treasury and ERC, whose embryo is the investiture pact of Salvador Illa in Catalonia.
For Giorgia Meloni, the Ceuta crisis is not a problem. It is for Pedro Sánchez – and a serious one – but not for the Italian prime minister, who has clearly exaggerated the risk that a portion of the 8,000 immigrants still accumulating in the Spanish enclave – the vast majority of the more than 70,000 who stormed the Spanish border on July 30 and 31 immediately turned back – could end up reaching Italy. More concerning for Meloni is the constant flow of irregular immigrants who continue to arrive through the south of her country, via the central Mediterranean route: through this route, 16,454 people arrived in Europe between January and July, a number higher than those who entered through Spain combining all routes (11,537 via the Mediterranean and 2,856 via the Canary Islands), according to the latest Frontex data.
In the absence of solutions, affection is good. Spanish football, to be solemn, began yesterday in Ceuta the national tour of the De la Fuente (coach)-Louzán (RFEF president) tandem to showcase the World Cup and extend its effluvia of national unity.
The last plenary session of Congress is one of the most high-voltage parliamentary sessions that have taken place in Spain in recent years. The Prime Minister appeared, at his own request, to report on the situation in the autonomous city of Ceuta. The opposition was waiting to accuse him of “treason,” and none of his parliamentary allies, whether close or more distant, was willing to give him full support. The day before, numerous demonstrations had taken place in the main municipalities of Spain as a sign of solidarity with Ceuta. Convened by the Popular Party and Vox, these demonstrations became a cry of protest against the Government.
