The handheld fan is hot on the heels of the fan: “I don’t go out without it anymore”

It is 11 in the morning on a working day in mid-July in Barcelona and the humidity and heat are starting to be difficult to manage. Stephany Hijar, a 25-year-old student, walks with both hands occupied: in one, the mobile phone; in the other, a handheld fan. Her sister-in-law gave it to her this year and she admits that it is now a must-have for going out on the street. Until last summer, it was the fan that helped her to mitigate the heat, but she has grown tired of fanning herself.

Trump says the truce with Iran is in “palliative care” and calls his proposal “stupid”

Donald Trump offered on Monday his most pessimistic message regarding the truce with Iran since it came into effect on April 7.

Illa claims to have left behind “a decade of paralysis” and warns of the rise of extremisms

One month before the Catalan elections that brought him to power, the then PSC candidate, Salvador Illa, presented his plans for when he would take the reins of the Govern at a crowded conference. There he promised to lead the “third great transformation of Catalonia” through good management, to recover excellence in public services and leave behind “a lost decade” in the ideological battle of the procés. Yesterday, the president revisited that conference with a track record of two years of management that few approve of, but which he strove to present as successful. At the same time, he warned of those times when Catalonia was presented as the “project of a part” and of “a world heading towards a worrying dehumanization” in which “extremely divisive and confrontational politics” predominates.
