In a world that is changing rapidly, with an unpredictable White House, turbulence in the Middle East, and an increasingly unstable international landscape, Europe cannot afford decision-making processes that drag on for months (or years) due to the blockages of certain countries. This is the view of a large group of Member States — including Spain — that propose formulas against the unanimity rules to overcome vetoes and speed up the EU’s foreign policy.
Maybe Donald Trump, a football fan who emerged during the World Cup held in North America this summer and which he considered his own, saw the banner that the Argentine players displayed with the slogan “The Malvinas are Argentine.” Maybe he was still thinking about that when the President of the United States suggested from the Oval Office a possible review of the stance on that territory that caused a war between Argentina and the United Kingdom after the invasion of Argentine troops in 1982.
One month has passed since the lawyer acting on behalf of Carlos Mazón in the dana case, Ignacio Gally, gained access to the complete instruction on July 31 thanks to the Valencia Court allowing the former president of the Generalitat Valenciana to appear in the process. And on the first day of September, he sent a letter to the Catarroja court in which, first of all, he asks the judge to specify whether there is any open line of investigation or pending opening regarding a possible criminal liability for action by his client, once the TSJ ruled out the possibility of any criminal liability of Mazón for omission.

The victim, a gardener by profession and father of two young twins, received a stab wound to the chest.

The knife pierced his heart.
Since the massive crossing on July 30 and 31, during which more than 70,000 people entered Ceuta, 214 immigrants have been expelled to Morocco for committing crimes, according to a report from the Ministry of the Interior. Police sources detail that three of the expelled had records for crimes related to jihadist terrorism. Additionally, between August 10 and 31 of the same month, 3,519 people have voluntarily returned to Morocco, which still has the return door open at the Tarajal crossing. These voluntary returns would be the continuous trickle following the wave of returns on the first weekend after the assault, when 90% of the people who entered irregularly returned to their country.
