Penélope Cruz “freaks out” over her 16 minutes of applause in Venice

There are ovations before which not even Penélope Cruz, who has experienced quite a few, can remain indifferent. “I’m amazed,” Pe says this Wednesday recalling the applause received in the Sala Grande of the Lido in Venice. Her team points out: “It was 15 minutes, right?”. She immediately corrects: “No, it was 16!”.

Alicante and other municipalities on the Costa Blanca close beaches due to strong wind alert

Alicante and other municipalities on the Costa Blanca close beaches due to strong wind alert

It’s hard to understand why access to Muchavista beach, in El Campello, is allowed, while access to San Juan beach, in the neighboring municipality of Alicante, is prohibited from five this afternoon. There is no physical separation between the two; we are talking about the same sandy area, but the prevention against meteorological warnings is not the same in the different town halls.

Owners ask the Government to withdraw the law to limit home purchases

Owners ask the Government to withdraw the law to limit home purchases

Homeowners and housing developers have seen their opposition to the law to limit home purchases promoted by the Govern and the Comuns endorsed. The report published this Tuesday by the Consell de Garanties Estatutàries (CGE) coincides with much of the private sector’s objections: the regulation being processed by the Catalan Parliament violates the right to private property, freedom of enterprise, and other points of the constitution. It also points out that the acquisition of apartments cannot be restricted through the Urban Planning law, as intended by the Catalan Executive and the party of former mayor Ada Colau.

Iris Tió wins two silver medals of different kinds to boost the Spanish medal tally in Paris

Iris Tió wins two silver medals of different kinds to boost the Spanish medal tally in Paris

After a day with two hits on the bars in the men’s technical duo and solo technical routine, Spain won its first two medals at the European Championships in Paris. Iris Tió, in a busy day, was present in both, first alongside Dennis González in the mixed free duo and then with Lilou Lluís in the free duo. The first tastes like glory and even brought tears to Andrea Fuentes due to the physical problems of the swimmer from Rubí in his toughest year; the last was in the ear, which prevented them from training the choreography for more than two weeks. The second holds more sadness: Spain had been world gold in Singapore and arrived first to the final… but lost the title by just five tenths.

The PP and Vox governments currently pass the Ceuta crisis test

The PP and Vox governments currently pass the Ceuta crisis test

Justice, running at half speed in August, has given the Government of Pedro Sánchez a reprieve with corruption cases, and the outbreak of the Ceuta crisis due to the entry of more than 70,000 people from Morocco has refocused attention on immigration, with a visible impact on the right-wing bloc. For now, the PP and Vox, balancing carefully, manage to show more alignment than ever as they reach one hundred days of coalition in Extremadura and Aragón – the first two of the four governments formed in the latest cycle – and have avoided any friction. In these two territories, Vox is fully deploying measures rejecting immigration – from the suppression of payments to minors (Aragón) to filing legal appeals against the reception of minors (Extremadura) – although, for the moment, without causing dissonance with their partners.

Ulrich Siegmund, the new face of the German far-right

The German far-right is euphoric. The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party boasts a new face that could bring it its first regional presidency, after years of growth at the polls since its founding in 2013 without this translating into access to power due to the cordon sanitaire applied by other parties. Ulrich Siegmund, candidate in the elections of the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt, to be held on September 6, could garner up to 43% of the vote, according to the latest poll by the Pollytix institute.
