Anger in Kenya against the U.S. over Ebola. The plan of Donald Trump’s administration to build a quarantine center to house Americans who have been exposed to the virus in the Democratic Republic of Congo or Uganda has outraged many Kenyans, who took to the streets to protest a measure that, they believe, puts the country’s public health at risk.
If there is something that writers habitually do, more or less consciously, it is to be aware of what is happening around them. It doesn’t matter if they write historical or contemporary fiction: what they see and experience in the present ends up permeating their texts. That is why it is not surprising that in recent times several books have been published in which aesthetic pressure and terms like botox, skincare, preventive aging, or wellness permeate their pages.
As if nothing, neither nature nor the bad judgment of humans, wanted to spoil the great match between Argentina and Spain, Lio Messi against his “protégé” Lamine Yamal, forecasts predict that the air quality will improve on Sunday in East Rutherford, the location of MetLife Stadium, in New Jersey.
Neither the words of businessman Juan Roig asking to monetize the arrival of tourists nor the possibility of opening the debate on the tourist tax hinted at by the mayor of Valencia, María José Catalá, after the Fallas, have affected the positioning of PP and Vox in the Valencian Courts. Both parties will reject this Thursday the proposals from PSPV and Compromís to recover this tax on tourist overnight stays that was approved by the Botànic but never implemented. A moratorium was established and, after the regional elections, the new parliamentary majority repealed it.
The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, received the Spanish national team this Monday at the Palacio de la Moncloa upon their return from the United States. After visiting the Royal Family at the Palacio de la Zarzuela, Luis de la Fuente’s men went to the residence of the President of the Government to celebrate La Roja’s victory. The Minister of Education, Vocational Training, and Sports, Milagros Tolón, was also present at the reception.
A United States citizen on vacation in Mallorca has requested political asylum in Spain due to fear of the policies implemented in that country by Donald Trump. The man, 34 years old, appeared a few days ago at the Civil Guard barracks in Felanitx accompanied by his lawyer to make the formal request, according to Ultima Hora. The Civil Guard has forwarded the request to the National Police, which is responsible for carrying out these procedures.
To be the leader of the PSOE, it is necessary to have the support of the membership in Andalusia and Catalonia. Due to their weight in members, they constitute the two key strongholds to control the party. As long as Salvador Illa holds the presidency of the Generalitat and has the absolute backing of the PSC, Sánchez will have that flank more than covered. But Andalusia has long been the most complicated and decisive territory in the party congresses. And that is where María Jesús Montero comes into play, the president of the Government’s go-to person.
José Luis Ábalos has presented his defense as if he were facing a murder charge: no body, no crime. Where is all the money they accuse him of hiding? It has not appeared and as he has defended before the prosecutor, they can “pawn” but they will not find it for a very simple reason. According to the former minister, it will not surface because it does not exist.
The leader of Junts Carles Puigdemont awaits the ruling to be announced this Thursday from the European justice system regarding the amnesty to reactivate his return to Spain in the courts. However, whatever the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) says, the expectation is that the return of the former president of the Generalitat will still have to wait a few months. According to legal sources, the national arrest warrant against him will not be revoked until the Constitutional Court (TC) rules, presumably in October, on the appeal he filed against the decision of the Supreme Court (TS) judge Pablo Llarena not to apply the amnesty to him.
Purists get sick to their stomachs.
