In a normal country, the creation of a new body, the so-called Investment Consortium, would surely not be necessary to ensure that public works budgeted in a given year are actually carried out. But in Spain, this is not the case and there is a great
There will be an investiture of Jorge Azcón. As La Vanguardia has been able to confirm, PP and Vox have reached an agreement for the investiture of the popular candidate, who won the elections on February 8 and obtained 26 of the 67 deputies distributed in the Cortes de Aragón. In this sense, he needs the 14 Vox deputies to reach an absolute majority.
Ferran Torres, scorer of the second most important goal in the history of Spanish football after Andrés Iniesta’s in Johannesburg in 2010, could not contain his emotion after being crowned world champion: “The goal belonged to 47 million people, it was not mine. The script was written for us to win.”
The preview of the World Cup semifinal between Spain and France has been surrounded by the last two precedents that favor the Spanish, with special prominence of Lamine Yamal against Kylian Mbappé, but the history of the encounters between La Roja and the Bleus goes much further back with more encouraging chapters for the French.

After two years of intense national debate, the deeply divided French National Assembly approved this Wednesday, by 291 votes in favor and 241 against, the bill on “the right to assistance in dying.” The decriminalization, under strict conditions and protocols, of assisted suicide and euthanasia – words that the legislative text avoids naming – has had the support of President Emmanuel Macron, who has urged the Government to accelerate the process.
The football career of Fernando Marqués (Madrid, 1984) was never separated from his off-field problems. Alcohol, accidents, and disorders created for him at a very young age the image of a troublesome and undisciplined guy. He debuted at 17 years old with his Rayo Vallecano, in 2002, and before turning 23 he had already played for five teams —Rayo, Racing de Santander, Atlético de Madrid, Atlético Madrid B, and Castellón, as well as the under-20 national team— and three different categories. A ten in talent, a zero in attitude, was said about him.
The bodies of a 55-year-old Civil Guard agent, his wife, and their 20-year-old son were found lifeless this Saturday in the town of Dolores, Alicante, according to sources from the Command.
“This can only be unlocked from Catalonia,” Alberto Núñez Feijóo told Josep Sánchez-Llibre, the president of the large Catalan employers’ association Foment del Treball, after his speech at the annual conferences of the Cercle d’Economia. That phrase, directed at whom it was directed, was full of intent. Sánchez-Llibre is one of the few representatives of Catalan civil society with notable interlocution and capacity for influence over the leader of Junts, Carles Puigdemont. So Feijóo was seeking help to convince the former president of the convenience of favoring a no-confidence motion that would unseat Pedro Sánchez.

Junts has made it clear from the beginning that their votes are in exchange for demands, so it’s about knowing what Sánchez and Feijóo offer to potential allies. Well, both have made it quite clear this week in Barcelona.
The Ministry of Economy estimates that the impact of the war in Iran will reduce the growth of the Spanish economy by between one and four tenths this year and could push inflation to 3.1%. In global terms, four tenths of GDP would represent up to 7,000 million in negative impact. The Government currently maintains the estimate that the economy will grow by 2.2% this year, but the First Vice-President, Carlos Cuerpo, has announced that this forecast will be revised in the coming weeks.
