The motor industry in Spain is experiencing its worst year in profits, with a 56% drop, despite the highest level of investment in its history

From a profit record of over 2,000 million in 2025 (which represented an 89% growth) to a deep drop in net results, down 56%. The Anfac Annual Report, the Spanish association of car and truck manufacturers, highlights a clear reality in the sector: the transformation to electric vehicles is being extremely demanding for Spanish car factories, but automakers continue to draw on cash to move forward. During 2025, revenue grew by 3.8% compared to 2024, reaching 80,315 million euros; investment soared by 24.7%, up to 3,197 million euros, but at the same time, net results plummeted by 56%, settling at a mere 853 million.

The road stop revolution: much more than just filling up the tank

The road stop revolution: much more than just filling up the tank

Every summer, the road changes the everyday map of Spain: families heading to the coast, groups of friends chaining kilometers, drivers returning on a Sunday afternoon, and travelers adjusting the journey to the heat, fatigue, or unforeseen events. The departure operation retains its symbolic strength, but the road trip is no longer understood solely as the time that separates the origin from the destination. Increasingly, it is also built in those intermediate moments when one decides to stop, rest, reorganize the car, or simply regain energy before continuing.

The PSOE prepares for a tense federal committee and the Government denounces “tricks” to bring it down

Blow after blow, almost without respite, the Government and the PSOE watch with bewilderment and astonishment, with alarm and concern, the flood of judicial cases pressuring Pedro Sánchez. This Thursday, with the president’s brother, David Sánchez, sitting in the dock at the Badajoz Court, after agents from the Civil Guard’s central operative unit (UCO) again raided the Ferraz headquarters on Wednesday to gather data on the plot allegedly orchestrated by the former organization secretary, Santos Cerdán, following the indictment of former president José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, the pending sentence for former minister José Luis Ábalos, or the ongoing process against the wife of the head of government, Begoña Gómez.

The arrest warrant for Puigdemont will remain despite the CJEU ruling

The arrest warrant for Puigdemont will remain despite the CJEU ruling

The leader of Junts Carles Puigdemont awaits the ruling to be announced this Thursday from the European justice system regarding the amnesty to reactivate his return to Spain in the courts. However, whatever the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) says, the expectation is that the return of the former president of the Generalitat will still have to wait a few months. According to legal sources, the national arrest warrant against him will not be revoked until the Constitutional Court (TC) rules, presumably in October, on the appeal he filed against the decision of the Supreme Court (TS) judge Pablo Llarena not to apply the amnesty to him.

Why the internet has become a more unstable and dangerous place

Why the internet has become a more unstable and dangerous place

One year after the blackout in Spain, which led us to an unusual situation, any major service outage begins to seem possible. We now live in a kind of technological variant of the Overton window concept, a theoretical model in political science by which an unthinkable discourse or situation ends up being accepted in the long run as normal due to its constant presence in the public space.

One less debt with Samaranch

One less debt with Samaranch

Juan Antonio Samaranch said of the 1992 Olympic Games that they had managed to change the mentality of the people of Barcelona. “Now they are more optimistic, less whiny,” he defended, in an interview with La Vanguardia in March 1996. The social – almost Olympic – sport of overseeing each and every one of the 73 neighborhoods of Barcelona has not been lost, but if that summer achieved anything, everyone who made it possible agrees, it was to establish a confidence that never left. At the forefront of the metamorphosis, with permission from Maragall, was precisely the now deceased president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), who passed away in 2010, a figure who was honored yesterday just in the year that marks 40 years since his “a la ville de… Barcelona.”
