The IV Meeting in Defense of Democracy began this Saturday in Barcelona with a clear purpose: to present to the world strategic principles for combating the far-right wave that questions multilateralism and democracy, a current embodied by the US president, Donald Trump, whom no one mentions in this conclave but whose political action is very present. Led by the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, the meeting began with his intervention, in which he advocated for a “concerted action” by all progressive governments in the world in favor of “strengthening the alliance” that convenes them today, and combating “fear with more democracy, and inequality with more justice”. In the background of this commitment is the joint proposal to reform the UN due to its ineffectiveness in facing global challenges and acting in the face of the proliferation of international conflicts.
Rarely in recent decades have reservoirs been as full and overflowing as this spring. According to the latest data from the Ministry for the Ecological Transition (Miteco), aquifers are very close to their maximum capacity. Reserves are only 16% – 9,000 cubic hectometers – away from reaching full capacity. In a climate not altered by the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, these figures would guarantee a long period of wet soils. However, on a planet warming to record levels, the abundant and concentrated rains of recent months do not shield the country from suffering a drought.
“If we take a look at our most recent past and if we broaden our view to international developments, we will become aware that Catalonia has left behind the time of paralysis and indecision. Catalonia has left behind the time of division and confrontation. Catalonia is living today the time of solutions to transform the country.” In the traditional institutional message from the President of the Generalitat for Sant Jordi, Salvador Illa has this year painted an optimistic picture of Catalonia, based on an analysis of the global situation, where armed conflicts carry great weight, but also based on the internal diagnosis. Illa believes that “Catalonia is on the move and determined.”

The Tarragona judge investigating former Minister of Finance Cristóbal Montoro has rejected the request of several defenses to send the case to the Madrid courts, thus maintaining the instruction of the case.
Menopause is a natural stage in a woman’s life, but it is not always experienced easily. The drop in estrogen and progesterone marks the end of the reproductive stage and triggers changes that go far beyond the visible: the skin loses density, hydration, and elasticity; hot flashes, sleep disturbances, fatigue, emotional changes, or discomfort associated with intimate aging may appear. It is a complex reality that for years has been addressed in a fragmented way, when many women need precisely the opposite: a more global, specific, and connected perspective with what they feel day to day.
Israel came close to victory in the world’s most important music contest, boosted by massive popular vote that contrasts with its weakened external image. Neither the thousands of protests against the genocide in Gaza, nor the boycott by five countries — Spain, Ireland, the Netherlands, Slovenia, and Iceland — managed to take away the second place in Eurovision from the Israeli Noam Bettan.
The last few weeks have been very eventful within Real Madrid. After the fight between Fede Valverde and Aurélien Tchouameni and the tense situation inside the Real Madrid locker room, this Thursday the Madrid fans had Kylian Mbappé as a target to direct their criticism towards.
Just on the days when Giorgia Meloni was avoiding a meeting with Pedro Sánchez in Rome citing scheduling issues, her party was preparing a confidential dossier against the Spanish Prime Minister. The title is eloquent: “The Spanish Senate censures the Sánchez Government.” The subtitle goes even further: “Yet another blow to the idol of the left.”
