Matías Carnero (Barcelona, 1968) assures that he will vote against the disappearance of the Seat brand if it is brought to the Supervisory Board of the Volkswagen group, of which he is a part. The president of the Seat works council maintains that the Spanish industry cannot afford to lose a historic emblem for the automotive sector due to the consequences for employment and the economy.
It had been an open secret for several years that there were no plans to electrify Seat models. All public and private resources allocated to the technology shift (from combustion to electric) were going to the Cupra brand, which had higher margins. What was not clear was how long Seat models would continue to be sold. And although combustion cars can be assembled in Europe until 2035, from 2030 it will be complex to manage – due to costs – the production of 100% diesel or gasoline cars in Martorell. In that scenario, the end of the historic Spanish automotive brand would be inevitable. The shock caused last week when Volkswagen set a date for the possible end of the brand triggered all alarms, despite being a problem known for years. There is still a lot of employment at stake if there are no alternatives.

And the buses will depart from neighborhoods on the outskirts.
La Asociación Vecinal de Perjudicados por el Bernabéu has gone to court against the authorization granted by the Madrid City Council for the holding last November of a National Football League (NFL) event at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, considering that the event was not covered by the assumptions provided for in the noise legislation and that the municipal authorization omitted essential requirements to allow it.
First day of school in the Valencian Community and there are already homework assignments on the table. According to the Valencian president, Juanfran Pérez Llorca, it is necessary to “exercise reflection” after the results known yesterday from the PISA report, which shows performance below average among Valencian students in science, mathematics, and reading. “In none of the claims from STEPV, which is the majority union, is there any reference to the deficiencies mentioned in the PISA report.
