Elena de Juan García, bullying victim: “My mother had to telework from the car, in front of the school”

Sin rencor (Diéresis) is not a testimonial book about bullying as usual. It goes much further. The literary debut of Elena de Juan García (Girona, 2004) transcends the personal experience marked by harassment, social emptiness, and digital violence, which she suffered during her last year of high school, to become a profound philosophical reflection on the anatomy of evil, dignity, and forgiveness.

Seat opens a new era with the start of electric production in Martorell

Seat opens a new era with the start of electric production in Martorell

Seat’s factory in Martorell enters the electric era. The owner of the Seat and Cupra brands started production this Wednesday of the Cupra Raval and Volkswagen ID.Polo models, the first electric vehicles to be manufactured at the Catalan plant, as part of the electrification plan of its German parent company. These compact cars are aimed at the economic segment, with prices around 25,000 euros. The Raval is expected to be a boost for the Spanish company, which has pushed its financial results to the limit due to investment in electrification and tariffs on the Tavascan, an electric vehicle made in China.

The PSOE encapsulates the UCO’s entry into Ferraz while the partners set their red lines

The real political pulse of the day was not taken this Wednesday in the chamber, but a few meters away, in the Plaza de las Cortes. A fire drill forced the evacuation of Congress and pushed deputies, ministers, and advisors into an improvised gathering where, far from the face-to-face confrontations of the control session, interpretations and consequences about the UCO’s entry into Ferraz multiplied. The noise of the debate paused for a few minutes, giving way to countless cross conversations that, between cigarette breaks and searches on mobile phones, allowed some and others to reposition their pieces on a political board that keeps suffering shocks. The PSOE has activated a strategy of resistance and calm, the partners have begun to verbalize their limits, and the PP has opted for patient waiting, convinced that socialist wear and tear will do the work on its own.

Couples, marriages... a dangerous game in Barcelona's theatrical spring

Couples, marriages… a dangerous game in Barcelona’s theatrical spring

There is no doubt that Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, by Edward Albee, is one of the most iconic plays of the 20th century. And it talks about nothing more than a marriage: the battle royale starring Martha and George is legendary, with some iconic lines. Like when she, after hearing him say he can’t take it anymore, shoots back: “You can take it! That’s why you married me!”. Ingmar Bergman delved into the subject with the masterful series Scenes from a Marriage, adapted for the stage a thousand times. Right now, at the Maldà, the company El Eje is performing a quite successful version of the classic, Escenes d’una separació, with a script by Eva Pauné Martínez. It turns Marianne and Johan into Alba and Joana, a lesbian couple trying to survive in present-day Barcelona. They love and hate each other at the same time, but they can’t live without being together. Mar Pawlowsky and Patrícia Bargalló know how to take their characters to the limit, with the mirror of the creatures created by the Swedish genius as a reflection. An excellent performance.
