The Government refutes the ruling against the president’s brother: “It is outrageous to convict an innocent person without evidence”

“It is very serious,” warn officials at Moncloa in response to the ruling by the Provincial Court of Badajoz that this Tuesday sentenced David Sánchez, the brother of the Prime Minister, to nine years of disqualification for a crime of administrative misconduct. And a second “very dangerous precedent for our democracy,” in their view, following the Supreme Court ruling that also disqualified the former Attorney General of the State, Álvaro García Ortiz, from holding office. “It is outrageous to convict an innocent person without evidence,” they warn in the Executive.

Imaz, “very concerned” about diesel and kerosene supply problems in the coming months in Europe

“We are prepared for the worst-case scenario. Repsol is prepared to supply the Spanish economy with the products we produce. When I speak of the worst-case scenario, I refer to a worsening of the situation in Hormuz. I am not saying that will happen. It would be very positive to see a solution in the short term.” This is the warning issued this Thursday by Josu Jon Imaz during the conference with analysts to present the first-half results, in which the company’s profit soared due to rising oil prices and the increased volume of its reserves.

Should Bellingham’s goal have been disallowed? This is how the ‘cable-gate’, the World Cup technology scandal, was born

It all started after a long goal kick by the Norwegian goalkeeper Orjan Nyland. Fox Sports cameras captured how the ball – as seen in the replay – seemed to hit one of the cables supporting the aerial camera at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.

Siri Hustvedt: “I felt Paul’s presence at his funeral, he was looking at me, making sure I was okay”

Siri Hustvedt: “I felt Paul’s presence at his funeral, he was looking at me, making sure I was okay”

When her husband died two years ago, Siri Hustvedt (Minnesota, 1955) began writing Ghost Stories (Seix Barral/Edicions 62), a book that helped her face the abyss of “vanished time,” start the grieving process, and adjust to life alone after 43 years of marriage. If the one who left, a victim of cancer that the author describes with harshness but without losing her sense of humor, had not been Paul Auster, it would be the same, she admits, because this work is not a biography of the novelist, but a lost love song. “The most painful reality in this world is not loving someone and losing them to death, but the inability to love,” she argues.
