The war in Iran and the energy crisis resulting from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz are already being felt in the pockets of European citizens. The European Commission has lowered the economic forecasts for the eurozone this spring by three tenths, from 2.3% to 0.9% for this year, while inflation rises from 1.9% to 3% due to high fuel prices.

Iñaki Gabilondo is a reference for a good part of society and, especially, for the tribe dedicated to journalism. Not only because we associate his image with the night of 23-F, when he appeared on screen for the first time to read an agency teletype announcing the…
That Mónica Oltra’s landing in València was hopeful for the left was never in doubt. Nor was it that her arrival could provoke some internal reluctance. At the first opportunity, the seams of the coalition have already been strained.
