In Seville almost no one calls it the Centennial Bridge. For the Sevillians, it is Paquito. A nickname that was born decades ago because of its resemblance to the Golden Gate of San Francisco, but in miniature. Be that as it may, the truth is that, for the citizens, this infrastructure, a symbol of the city, has become a real headache for years. And now, moreover, the bridge has fully entered the Andalusian electoral campaign after the suspension of some works that depend directly on the Ministry of Transport.
While some PSOE ministers have begun to spread out across Andalusian cities in events supporting their candidate and former Government colleague, María Jesús Montero, she continues her crusade in defense of public services, becoming the main and almost sole argument of her electoral campaign. Montero talks about the deterioration of healthcare wherever she goes.

The poet Joseph Brodsky was born in Leningrad in 1940 and was expelled from his country in 1972, after which he settled in the United States. From there he traveled again and again to Venice. He visited it for the first time at the age of 32, and at the time he wrote the wonderful little book Watermark (Siruela/Vienna) he had already stayed in the city 17 times, always in December. For the Nobel, seeing a wave breaking on the shore at midnight was like “seeing time emerging from the water.” Memory, death, love, beauty, dreams are also the materials that, in a subtle and poetic way, the artist Claudia Pagès unfolds in the Cantieri Navali, the usual headquarters of Catalonia at the Venice Art Biennale, where this year she presents Paper tears (Lágrimas de papel), a waltz-paced installation created from 15th-century watermarks found in the Museu Molí Paperer de Capellades, the place where she was born.

A court in Toulouse has sentenced two passengers on a Ryanair flight to pay a fine of 10,000 euros for the brawl they caused on the journey between London and Ibiza.

An election campaign basically consists of raising a bell tower. The higher it is, the bigger the bell and the farther the ringing reaches, the better for the officiating priest. However, it happens that sometimes, down on the street, things happen that distract people to the point that no one pays attention to the ringing.
