“Assault,” “invasion,” “humanitarian crisis.” The qualifiers have been numerous to define the largest mass entry of migrants into Spain, in this case Ceuta, all at once. The figure, which may still grow, is 72,000 entries and 82 bodies recovered in the Spanish area.

Hansi Flick said in the preview that you can’t smile every day. But Barça fans have done nothing else since the league started. Three wins in three matches. Monday’s 5-2 win against Rayo Vallecano. Raphinha, who scored a double, keeps smiling non-stop. Gordon, indispensable, smiles. And on the third, Lamine Yamal finally smiled. Immersed in a wave of relief and rage, the Rocafonda native slid across the Camp Nou pitch seeking the fans’ embrace. His goal, after Raphinha’s first, was a turning point. It confirmed the Barça comeback against a Rayo that, without knowing how, had taken the lead. Gordon’s selfless magic, the new idol of the Barça stronghold, caused the 3-1 own goal by Lejeune. Camello closed the gap with the 3-2. Raphinha, relentless, provided the fourth of the night, and the relentless Lamine completed the rout, handing Barça the leadership on a silver platter. This Barça, the one that keeps winning three points at a time, is unstoppable.
“The Government is going to keep fighting,” guaranteed the minister and leader of the Madrid socialists, Óscar López, this Tuesday from the Moncloa. The Executive has thus shown itself determined to withstand all the pressure, both external and internal, triggered by the judicial investigation opened against former president José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero. In this way, it is willing to resist and not throw in the towel to keep the legislature afloat, despite the intensified political offensive by the PP and the far-right Vox, despite warnings from parliamentary allies such as the PNV or CC and, also, despite the demands of Felipe González or the president of Castilla-La Mancha, the socialist Emiliano García-Page, for Pedro Sánchez to call general elections this very year, and to give up his intention to complete the legislature in July 2027, as he intends.
Cuba wants to end what it calls an “energy siege” and the United States wants the adoption of far-reaching reforms. Havana maintains that there is no ultimatum, but U.S. officials assure that Washington gave a two-week deadline to release relevant political prisoners as a sign of goodwill. The two countries, separated by less than one hundred kilometers of sea and ideological enemies, speak different languages and seem far from any agreement, but they are dialoguing.

The European Commission gave the green light this Friday for Spain to implement a multi-million euro anti-blackout mechanism to strengthen the electricity supply and prevent episodes like the one in April last year, when much of the Iberian Peninsula was left in the dark. The figures are enormous: the system approved under the EU state aid rules will have a cost of 900 million annually, that is, 9 billion for the 10 years it is expected to last.
