About 4,000 municipal police officers and a thousand health personnel will be deployed during Pope Leo XIV’s visit to Madrid from June 6 to 9, as detailed by the mayor, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, at the press conference following the Government Board meeting, supported by the deputy mayor, Inma Sanz, and the delegate for Urban Planning, Environment, and Mobility, Borja Carabante.

Alen Craig2 months ago2 months ago05 mins

The first time Felipe de Borbón entered the grounds of Lakefield College School (LCS), located in the Canadian town of the same name in the province of Ontario, 160 kilometers north of Toronto, he was a 16-year-old teenager, whom his parents, King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofía, had sent with the purpose of distancing him from a protective environment and so that he could interact with other young people. This Thursday, the then young prince, whom his classmates called Flip, returned to the classrooms where he studied the equivalent of COU, and although he carried with him his status as King of Spain, he did so as an alumnus, acknowledging that that first experience away from home marked his early youth.
