The Minister of Defense, Margarita Robles, wanted this Thursday to put to rest the controversy over whether the National Intelligence Center (CNI) adequately warned about the risk of a massive influx of migrants to Ceuta and has acknowledged that what happened on July 30 in the autonomous city is “a phenomenon of an unforeseeable magnitude that has not occurred anywhere else.”
The documents declassified by the Government this past Wednesday show notices from the National Intelligence Center (CNI) hours before the massive entry of migrants into Ceuta began through calls to cross the Tarajal breakwater. However, the warnings, issued via Whatsapp to the Government Delegation in the autonomous city and the Civil Guard, did not reflect the magnitude of what happened afterwards: an entry of more than 80,000 people in just 48 hours.
The president of the Supreme Court and the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ), Isabel Perelló, entered the debate this Thursday on the Ceuta crisis following the massive entry of nearly 80,000 people at the end of July, which is going to be investigated by the National Court judge María Tardón. “The reality suffered by the people of Ceuta demands a response that preserves the integrity of our borders.”

“Currently there is a central Government in Spain with which we do not agree. We do not agree with its policy, with its statements, with its initiatives, and we see a specific approach against Israel,” said the chargé d’affaires of the Embassy of Israel in Spain, Dana Erlich, this morning during the Fórum Europa press breakfast. Erlich stated that for Israel to return “to normality with the current Government, a change in policy is needed.” Because, according to this diplomat, “Spain is important for Israel.”
Los Mossos d’Esquadra are finalizing a detailed report on the 48-hour whirlwind trip to Quito (Ecuador) during which Jonathan Andic claims he lost the phone he was carrying in Montserrat the day his father died. In his judicial statement, the son of Isak Andic, investigated for the alleged homicide of the latter, stated that his phone was stolen during a brief outing in the Ecuadorian capital.

The first solo exhibition of Salvador Dalí took place in 1925 at the Galerías Dalmau, the historic gallery on Passeig de Gràcia (previously it had been on Carrer del Pi and Portaferrissa) that was a beacon of the avant-garde and promoter of new artists. Dalí was one of them. He was 21 years old and showed works such as Girl at the Window, the portrait of his sister Anna Maria from behind, contemplating the seascape of Cadaqués, now at the Reina Sofía in Madrid. He repeated the following year. A century later, he returns to the stage where he first met success face to face with Dalí Boulevard Cibernético, an immersive experience that from next week will have a permanent space in Casa Amatller.
On July 23, 1962, Josep M. Castellet sent Camilo José Cela a brief letter in which he indicated that the work the Catalan critic was going to publish a few months later was about to be finalized: “I would appreciate it if you could let me know, by return mail, the corrections you pointed out to me in Formentor regarding the work I did on your work for Revista Hispánica Moderna. I haven’t asked you before because, as Susana Redondo de Feldman told me, the original has not yet gone to print and there is plenty of time to make them.”
