The judicial investigation into the alleged homicide of Isak Andic has not stopped for summer vacations. Media coverage of the case has plummeted, but some have continued working. The Mossos d’Esquadra are scientifically reconstructing the route in Montserrat that on December 1st was taken together by the Andic family therapist, Maria Julia Lüderwaldt, and a former collaborator of her practice, Johana, a British English teacher whose name is the only detail known. Investigators have reasonable suspicions that the two women walked that morning along the Camí de les Feixades, the same path that thirteen days later Isak and his son Jonathan Andic walked, where the father died after falling down a ravine nearly one hundred meters deep.
The vice presidents of Extremadura, Castilla y León, and Aragón, all from Vox, sent separate letters yesterday to the Minister of Youth and Childhood, Sira Rego, to inform her that they will not attend the sectoral commission on Childhood and Adolescence on August 13, which will address the situation of migrant minors in Ceuta, and that they reject their transfer to other communities.
The president of the Supreme Court and the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ), Isabel Perelló, entered the debate this Thursday on the Ceuta crisis following the massive entry of nearly 80,000 people at the end of July, which is going to be investigated by the National Court judge María Tardón. “The reality suffered by the people of Ceuta demands a response that preserves the integrity of our borders.”
Manuel Villar is the deputy mayor of Alicante and the person appointed to chair the commission that, by unanimous decision of the municipal plenary, was established to try to clarify the circumstances that led to the irregular awarding of public housing in Alicante. Yesterday, in response to questions from this newspaper, after four sessions of a commission in which only one retired official has testified, Villar admitted that it will be the ongoing judicial investigation that clarifies what happened. Because although he maintains that the government team is doing the right thing, he did not even commit his own cooperation: Villar assured that he will appear – it would be strange for the president of the commission to be absent only to not appear – because Vox has requested it, but then he stated that “it is another matter whether I will respond.”

There are very few jazz musicians left who deserve to be considered giants. After the death, early this morning, of saxophonist Sonny Rollins, the representation of the golden era of the genre is limited to figures such as pianist Herbie Hancock (Chicago, 1940) or the…
After Los domingos, comes La luz, which will light up cinemas next Friday. If the first film, by Alauda Ruiz de Azúa, showed from different points of view the reasons that can push a modern-day teenager to shut herself away in a cloistered monastery, the no less extraordinary film by Fernando Franco, director of great films such as La herida or La consagración de la primavera, tells us about a priest, masterfully played by Alberto San Juan, trapped by his past as a sexual abuser.
UEFA maintains its boycott of competitions organized by FIFA despite Gianni Infantino’s withdrawal of his plan to privatize part of the World Cup rights. “The conditions to lift our boycott are not met. We have lost confidence in the FIFA president,” stated the governing body of European football in a statement. According to UEFA, in its position last week, they demanded two things. The first, the withdrawal of the plan. And, the second, that conditions be established so that a similar project could never be proposed again. “This second issue has not been fulfilled,” UEFA says. The organization chaired by Aleksander Ceferin does not believe in the unity front that Infantino wants to recover and has challenged him with the aim that the FIFA president does not remain in office.
