Robles: “Spain says no to illegal offensive wars that have no international umbrella”

Brussels lowers forecasts for the European economy due to the Iran war but Spain avoids the blow

The Paquito Bridge, from a symbol of Seville to a new political front in the middle of the campaign

In Seville almost no one calls it the Centennial Bridge. For the Sevillians, it is Paquito. A nickname that was born decades ago because of its resemblance to the Golden Gate of San Francisco, but in miniature.

And now, moreover, the bridge has fully entered the Andalusian electoral campaign after the suspension of some works that depend directly on the Ministry of Transport.
