This is Donald Trump’s pendulum, which as soon as he threatens the total destruction of Iran, he backtracks saying that the negotiations are going well. This Tuesday, explanations were required for the decision to halt the new initiative to bomb the Middle East enemy.
The great wars of history have always led to a restructuring of the international order. Let’s think about the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the two world wars and the Cold War, which led to the liberal order, the rise of the
One day after Fede Valverde reacted, Aurélien Tchouaméni did so via a statement on social media. He did so once the half-million euro fine for each of the two Real Madrid players became known.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has warned in its latest annual report that last year disinformation campaigns have established themselves as “a prominent vector” of instability for Spain. The body that advises the President of the Government on National Security matters has identified Russia as the main actor from which campaigns aimed at influencing political processes, eroding trust in institutions, shaping public opinion, and weakening international cooperation originated.
Agentes de los Mossos d’Esquadra have arrested this Saturday a man as the alleged perpetrator of a violent death committed this noon in Esplugues de Llobregat (Barcelona).
The National Cancer Research Center (CNIO) has lost its private sponsors, as reported by El País and confirmed by La Vanguardia after consulting all parties. The departures announced today of the BBVA Foundation and the Cris Against Cancer Foundation add to that of the Spanish Association Against Cancer (AECC), which occurred on March 9 and was already known. The exit of the private institutions is motivated by the reputational damage that has affected the oncology research center, after the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office opened proceedings last December regarding an alleged scheme that may have diverted up to 25 million euros from budgets over 18 years through the alleged rigging of contracts, and also due to the recent resignation of the manager, José Manuel Bernabé, accused of harassment.

It is the first time that the photo of authors illustrating the cover of La Vanguardia on Sant Jordi’s day features a Nobel Prize in Literature winner. And, logically, a place of honor is reserved for her, right on the first sofas that the Alma hotel has arranged on its rooftop. Han Kang arrives with time. She looks happy. She is visibly grateful to be meeting with barely thirty people, instead of the 700 who crowded the CCCB the day before, waiting to see her appear. She is a sensitive thinker. Crowds overwhelm her. But here, the views of the Sagrada Família in the background, with the cross already crowning the tower of Jesus, seem to have a calming effect. This, and the presence of Xavi Ayén, the man who whispered to the Nobels and who, since interviewing her a few days ago in London, seems to be her confidant.
If Hansi Flick’s office door greeted visitors with a motto, it could well be: “Delighted to be here.” What for other coaches could be a torture that changes their mood or even adds years to their appearance is a joy for the German. True, he is not always radiant. True, he gets angry when his players do not deliver what he expects from them. True, on the sidelines he gets upset over refereeing decisions he considers unfair. But, in general terms, he more often shows a smile, a hug, words of encouragement, and optimism. These are values recognized in him that make him a true idol for the fans and almost a father figure for his young protégés.
