The Court of Auditors avoids applying the amnesty for the time being to the thirty former senior officials of the Generalitat Government, including former presidents Artur Mas and Carles Puigdemont, for the expenses of the procés.
The fragile ceasefire that had been in place since last April 7 between the United States and Iran hangs by a thread after a violent exchange of attacks in the Strait of Hormuz in the early hours of this Friday. Both powers have confirmed the crossfire, but maintain opposing versions about who initiated the aggression and what the actual damages have been.
Save yourselves. Hours after the magistrate of the National Court María Tardón requested the Government for the declassified documents on the Ceuta crisis, the Government delegate in the autonomous city, Miguel Ángel Pérez Triano, asked for the head of his Chief of Staff, Gonzalo Sanz, for not informing him earlier about the massive crossing after a member of the National Intelligence Center (CNI) had told him that a call to storm the border was being stirred up on social networks. Sanz – after a meeting of pressures – submitted his resignation yesterday, but in the letter sent to the Government Delegation he wanted to convey, as a warning, two messages that complicate the Government’s narrative: that he did transmit to his boss what the Spanish spy had told him the afternoon before the avalanche and that “there are reports” proving that warnings were made to different ministries.
The Government has dismissed an official from the Department of National Security after publishing last Friday the figure of about 49,000 people who would have entered Ceuta last week coming from Morocco.
“Clean everything up.” That was the mandate Leire Díez received from the PSOE or, at least, that’s how she expresses it. The plot uncovered by the judge of the National Court Santiago Pedraz and led by the party’s former number 3 Santos Cerdán had a coordinated plan set: to go against judges, prosecutors, and civil guards to protect the Government and the PSOE. The organization had a series of objectives marked and the instruments they had to use for the success of their mission. First of all, it should be said that, despite the orchestration of the plan and the payment for it, successes were notably absent because to this day none of their objectives have been achieved, although along the way there have been dark threads.
Kylian Mbappé’s latest move has exhausted the patience of Real Madrid fans. A large part of the supporters (whose feelings they expressed on social media) did not like his trip to Cagliari (Italy). Despite being injured and doubtful for Sunday’s Clásico, the season has once again been disappointing and without titles, and the forward landed in Madrid, according to images from El Chiringuito, only 12 minutes before the start of the match against Espanyol (0-2). His vacation was interpreted as a lack of commitment.
The former Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero has released a video this Tuesday in which he wanted to respond to the notification he received this very morning from the National Court, summoning him as an investigated party – what was formerly called “accused” – for the next June 2, for alleged corruption crimes in the case of the bailout of the airline Plus Ultra.
Sumar has rejected the decision of the Ministry for the Ecological Transition to authorize the extension of the life of the Almaraz nuclear power plant until 2030 and considers that the measure constitutes a breach of the agreements for the formation of government between the PSOE and the political formation.
The president of the Supreme Court and the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ), Isabel Perelló, entered the debate this Thursday on the Ceuta crisis following the massive entry of nearly 80,000 people at the end of July, which is going to be investigated by the National Court judge María Tardón. “The reality suffered by the people of Ceuta demands a response that preserves the integrity of our borders.”
The financial health of Spanish consumers suffers some setbacks when summer arrives. Consumer loans taken out in the months prior to the holiday period have grown strongly this year and have reached their highest level in two decades, only comparable to the times of the real estate bubble. The trend is an indication that a larger part of consumption is sustained by debt, despite the rise in interest rates.
