Iran points towards escalation: threatens Gulf countries and outlines targets in Europe

Donald Trump started the Iran war convinced that the ayatollah regime would fall in a few days. When it became clear that this would not be possible, the US president tried to sell another idea: the offensive had served to pave the way for a new Iranian leadership “less radical and much more reasonable,” with which agreements could be reached.

Brussels encourages Spain to review the reduced VAT on hotels and restaurants

Brussels encourages Spain to review the reduced VAT on hotels and restaurants

The European Commission recommends that Spain limit the use of the reduced VAT and specifically points to hotels and restaurants, as, in its view, these preferential rates have a “very limited redistributive effect” on society despite their high cost to the State. That is, they benefit higher incomes more than lower ones because they consume it the most, according to community sources. Meanwhile, the impact of this tax that is not collected is enormous: the 10% VAT for hospitality is costing Spain 0.4% of GDP, or the equivalent of almost 7 billion euros each year.

Most fatal accidents, even if recklessness is proven, end with sentences of around 4 years in prison. Drivers are tried for crimes against road safety as no intentionality is perceived in deaths on the asphalt. But there are exceptions and sometimes justice “sees reason,” as relatives of those who have lost loved ones on the road would say, and a fatal traffic accident comes to be considered a homicide.

Lost in a subway station

Lost in a subway station

My grandparents were people of walking and bus rides. They did not trust traveling underground. The few times I traveled with them on the subway, they appeared tense: a fall, a shove, a robbery. In a way, wherever the sun did not shine was always territory for the unexpected, the dangerous, and the hidden. Insects lived underground. Worms, the dead, ownerless treasures, evidence of unsolved crimes. Also purely practical aspects like the fact that it was not safe. The ceiling could collapse. What happens if you get trapped in a tunnel, if the train doors close before you. And not to mention the stifling heat or the excessive gathering of unknown people, their smells.
