The Community of Madrid raises to 12.367 billion euros the consolidated debt of the central Government with the region for public services, benefits, and unmet legal commitments, an amount that represents 40% of the total regional budget for 2026.
The judge overseeing the case of the public housing at the Les Naus residential complex in Alicante has once again summoned the three City Council officials who did not appear last Friday, following an initial summons, to testify on May 20.
To the shout of “strike, strike, educational strike” or “the fighting teacher is also teaching,” among other chants, a thunderous green tide – because of the t-shirts that claim public school, “quality and in Valencian” – has marched through the streets of the Valencian capitals on this first Monday of indefinite strike in the education of the Valencian Community.
New change of direction in the Conselleria de Drets Socials in the management of programs aimed at young people who have left care. The minister of that Department, Mònica Martínez Bravo, announced this morning in the Parliament that the contract with the UTE Fundació Mercè Fontanilles–Fundació Resilis, responsible for the monitoring and assessment service of the economic benefit (Sevap) for that group, is canceled.
On Sunday, which according to etymology is the day of the Lord, like all the others, in ancient Rome it was the day dedicated to the Sun. History is made of analogies that sometimes become equivalences. So, having reached the equinox of the campaign in Andalusia, it is fitting…
“With the strength of Andalusia” (PP), “Defend the public” (PSOE), “Common sense” (Vox), “The Andalusian left” (Por Andalucía) and “Vote what you feel” (Adelante Andalucía). These are the phrases Andalusians encounter on every corner. Brief, direct, designed to stick. Five attempts to get into the mind (and mood) of an electorate being asked to get involved this 17M.

The PSOE a red campaign, shouting long live healthcare and public services in general.

As expected, those deaths have become a central part of the campaign.
From San Sebastián, where she is shooting a new production, Inma Cuesta answers the call with that mix of closeness and concentration of someone in the middle of filming. Her joining Berlín y la dama del armiño was not part of a calculated strategy, but rather an unexpected intrusion: a proposal that arrived in the last days of the year, when work no longer appears on the immediate horizon and everything seems to shift towards the domestic.
It took more than two decades to see Eric Clapton again in Barcelona, an eternity for his fans who last night, once again at the Palau Sant Jordi, enjoyed an evening that many no longer expected. Good blues and solos from a legendary guitar that, judging by the quality of what was heard, could well have started with the “as we said yesterday” that El último de la Fila used a few days ago, in their own return from the world of the living. “It seems we’re here for the same thing,” greeted a woman old enough to be a grandmother at the entrance of Sant Jordi to an acquaintance, who responded firmly: “to see the master.”
