Total attack by Florentino Pérez on Riquelme and the press in his last campaign act
Surrounded by members, emblems, and fan club members, Florentino Pérez’s last campaign event before the elections was marked by a full-frontal attack against his rival, Enrique Riquelme, whom he tried to discredit by all means in an extremely harsh speech. Without constantly mentioning him, but with direct references to his candidacy, Pérez built his intervention on the denials regarding his rival’s signings. “We campaign from the truth. Others prefer lies and hoaxes” and criticized that “a televised hoax is launched and then denied” by those involved.
The tyranny of the mobile phone, also for dating: Generation Z needs constant communication
Work emails, family chats, groups of friends organizing trips, birthdays, gatherings. To that hodgepodge of interactions that force one to look at the mobile screen is added, especially for young people, another tie to the digital world: keeping an actively stimulating conversation, exuding enough charisma and charm, to seduce —or show interest in— the person one wants to approach. Dating in these times, for many, represents another type of virtual slavery.
Back to work after DANA: Néstor’s second chance
The impact of the DANA of October 29 is not only measured in mud, but in an unprecedented economic paralysis. According to reports from the Valencia Chamber of Commerce and the Generalitat, the catastrophe affected more than 54.000 companies and jeopardized the livelihood of more than 190.000 workers affected by ERTEs, reduced working hours, and layoffs. With nearly 10.000 local shops and businesses devastated, the reconstruction of the ground zero requires a specialized workforce that the current market cannot cover.
Spain’s arrival in Chattanooga unleashes madness

The object of desire from fifty onwards
Maturity doesn’t start when your back hurts. Not even when you have to enlarge the font on your phone because you can’t see a thing, or when you buy a hideous jacket for the number of pockets it has. True maturity begins the day a shopping cart…

Europe is into internment camps
In the Roussillon plain, 50 kilometers north of the Franco-Spanish border, the Rivesaltes camp stands on dry and windy land. Converted into a Memorial in 2015 and recently renovated, the barracks of the former internment camp that operated here between 1941 and 1964 are still visible. Spanish refugees who fled Franco’s troops in 1939 were the first to be confined in Rivesaltes, a supposed “reception center” that was very similar to a concentration camp, surrounded by barbed wire and guarded by the French army. Conditions were precarious, but in the improvised camps on the beaches of Argelès, it was even worse. Although the policy of interning “undesirable foreigners” began in the 1930s, it was the authoritarian and pro-Nazi Vichy regime that truly boosted it from 1940 onwards.
