World champion Pablo Páez ‘Gavi’ has downplayed the incidents after Spain’s victory over Argentina in the World Cup final (1-0) and considered them a “part of football that is a bit more violent”, but that does not deserve suspensions.
The overtaking was consolidated: the rental prices of commercial premises on Passeig de Gràcia have definitively surpassed those of Portal de l’Àngel, a street that for many years had the most expensive leases in all of Spain. The competition for the very scarce commercial premises of major national and international brands specializing in high-end products and mainly targeting the wealthiest tourists is driving up the price per square meter of the city’s most prestigious avenue. Portal de l’Àngel plays a different role and attracts a more local and mass audience.
The Vatican flag has been flying since Thursday in Brians 1, the penitentiary center of Sant Esteve Sesrovires that will receive Leo XIV on Wednesday, becoming the first Pope to visit a Spanish prison. A brigade of bricklayers works tirelessly tidying up the auditorium that will host the Pontiff’s meeting with eighty inmates and twenty prison officials. The walls are immaculately white and smell of fresh paint.
The silver chairs of the Cambra de Barcelona continue to generate controversy, even after the plenary of the entity approved this controversial measure on Thursday. The parliamentary groups of the Comuns and the CUP jointly submitted a request yesterday for an opinion from the Consell de Garanties Estatutàries on various articles of the future Cambres law, a text that has been stalled for more than a decade without reaching the Parlament. The regulation, a proposal prepared by the chambers themselves, was supposed to be voted on in the hemicycle next Wednesday, but this request will clearly delay the process again until September.
The educational community and a large part of the parliamentary groups of the Parliament of Catalonia are at war over the infiltration of two Mossos d’Esquadra agents in a teachers’ assembly held on Wednesday. Initially, the force, through its X account, limited itself to saying that it works to “guarantee the free right of assembly and demonstration” and that it carries out its functions and responsibilities “always in accordance with current legislation and according to the competencies assigned to it.” Later, from the general directorate of the Catalan police, they issued a statement arguing that the General Commissariat of Information has specific information-gathering functions assigned by law, implicitly acknowledging the presence of the agents at the meeting.
The president of the PNV’s EBB, Aitor Esteban, stated this Thursday that he is convinced that the state legislature “has come to an end” and addressed the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, to assure him that “the general interest demands elections this year.” Furthermore, he reiterated that his party does not contemplate a motion of no confidence and asked the head of the Executive for reflection because “many things have happened this week,” but “more will happen.”
Who was one of the police commanders in the UDEF, when a decade ago the possible existence of a slush fund in the Popular Party was being investigated, has denied that pressure was applied to the investigative unit of the Gürtel Case to remove the name of the then Prime Minister, Mariano Rajoy, from their reports, as denounced two weeks ago by the head of those investigations, Chief Inspector Manuel Morocho. In the same courtroom of the National Court where the Kitchen Operation is being tried, the retired police officer, as a witness proposed by the defendants, also declared that there was never an order to dismantle the investigative group surrounding Génova, but quite the opposite: “They were always given the maximum support.”

News surprise, outrage, please, or sadden. They never cause indifference. Some, like the arrest of Jonathan Andic, simply and nothing less leave that bad taste in the mouth against which no toothpaste or mouthwash is effective. I include myself in the list of those greeted by…
