The defense of former president Carles Puigdemont made a move this Tuesday and filed a complaint against Spain before the European Commission in response to the Court of Auditors’ refusal to apply the Amnesty Law from the outset, a gesture that, in their opinion, contravenes the ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU).
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares, has denied having knowledge of “any report that could foresee the magnitude” of the migration crisis at the end of July in Ceuta, thus rejecting the thesis of the declassified CNI information that warned of a call for an “assault” on Ceuta.
The Government has attributed the “call effect” that occurred on the morning of this Friday, amid strong tension, to the legal dispute resolved on Wednesday and Thursday in the National Court – following a complaint by the Unified Police Union (SUP) – due to the opening of the new camp in the facilities set up in the port of Ceuta, where more than 1,700 immigrants have been relocated to begin the process of their identification, a month and a half after the migratory avalanche that took place at the border of the autonomous city on July 30 and 31.
The Mango business has managed to stay out of the investigation into the death of its founder, Isak Andic, in December 2024. The shock caused by the sudden death of the businessman and the subsequent police investigation have not taken a toll on the company’s business.

NASA reported this Friday that it has ordered astronauts aboard the International Space Station to take shelter in their spacecraft and prepare for a possible evacuation, while a Russian crew attempts to repair an increasingly serious air leak in their part of the orbital laboratory.
Day 40 after the massive entry into Ceuta: there are still more immigrants on the street than hosted – and protected – in centers set up by the Government. The humanitarian crisis deepens with hundreds of people still sleeping outdoors in any corner, waiting for a place in a temporary facility. The people of Ceuta are not wrong when they take to the streets to denounce that their city has become a Temporary Stay Center for Immigrants (CETI). A tour of the little more than seven km2 where a population of 84,000 inhabitants is concentrated is enough to see that Ceuta is the city of 1,001 CETIs. There is only one official one, overwhelmed but with a roof, but any spot serves to improvise a shelter to avoid the cold of the early mornings or the heat of the endless days. All share unhealthy conditions.
Cristina Narbona, president of the PSOE, faced the opposition this morning during a long appearance in the Senate in which she denied that there is irregular financing in the party, appealed to the presumption of innocence in the case of former president José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero and emphasized the socialists’ firmness against any illicit conduct: “Our tolerance towards corruption is zero,” she assured.

There is a smell of pact —of non-aggression— in the courtroom of the National Court where the trial for Operation Kitchen is taking place, the alleged police plot launched in 2013 to steal incriminating information against the Popular Party from its former treasurer, Luis Bárcenas. After the tense confrontation between former Interior Minister Jorge Fernández Díaz and his former number two Francisco Martínez during the investigation phase —over some SMS messages that led to the former’s indictment— this Thursday an expert suggested manipulation of those incriminating messages without the former Secretary of State, who took them to a notary, refuting even the slightest shadow of doubt cast.
