Pedro Sánchez has requested a meeting with Giorgia Meloni on the occasion of her visit to Rome next week. The prime minister, according to La Vanguardia from sources within the Italian Government, has accepted the proposal for a meeting at the Palazzo Chigi, the seat of the Executive, but for the moment the schedules do not quite align. The contacts, these same sources explain, are ongoing.
The new migration crisis unleashed in Ceuta, for which the president of this autonomous city, Juan Jesús Vivas, raised the alarm this Thursday, has immediately turned many eyes towards the authorities of Morocco, after Pedro Sánchez restored political and commercial relations with Algeria last week with his visit to President Abdelmayid Tebun, which marked the end of the 2022 diplomatic clash following the Spanish leader’s shift on the Western Sahara issue.
“The largest neighborhood in Europe” experienced an unforgettable night, one of those stories passed down from grandparents to grandchildren. Vallecas had never attended a European competition semifinal (two Copa del Rey semifinals, the last in 2022 against Betis) and dressed up for the occasion. Nerves from early morning, a mosaic in the stands, and a smile from ear to ear on the faces of its people, who supported the team until the last breath while the match became tangled and Rayo stoically held the lead (1-0). In a week, the spot in the final will be decided at the Stade de la Meinau, in the capital of Alsace. That could be a football war, judging by what was seen in the first leg.
The former Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero has asked Judge José Luis Calama, who is investigating the Plus Ultra case, to postpone his testimony before the National Court, scheduled for June 2.
“The change is getting closer, but it is not done… and we cannot think that everything will fall like forbidden fruit.” With the general elections increasingly present, although they still have no date, memories of 2023 remain very alive in the Popular Party. Alberto Núñez Feijóo wanted to start his speech at the beginning of the political season in Madrid from there. Even before confronting Pedro Sánchez, the popular leader warned his followers of the risk of becoming complacent and called for an extra effort to maintain tension until the polls. Because the goal is no longer just to win. It is to do so with enough margin to remove Sánchez from La Moncloa “without the investiture pacts” frustrating his plans again.
The residents of two apartment blocks in the Trinitat Vella neighborhood of Barcelona were evacuated from their homes last night by the Bombers de Barcelona after feeling their buildings shake.
Union disunity worsens this Tuesday in Valencia with tensions over the salary agreement that the Ministry of Education, Culture and Universities reached yesterday with the CSIF and ANPE unions. STEPV, CCOO-PV, and UGT-PV, who did not sign the agreement yesterday, wanted to know if the review according to the CPI agreed for the last salary increase established in the agreement – 50 euros in 2028, after the 75 euros increase in July 2027 and the other 75 euros in January 2027 – and the regional Secretary of Education, Daniel McEvoy, clarified it right at the start of this afternoon’s new negotiating table meeting, making it clear that the 2028 CPI review will be made “on the total of the 200 euros and not on the last 50, thus attending to the request of the trade union organizations.” Now the non-signatories can choose between joining or denouncing the agreement.
As soon as she stood in front of the microphone, in the middle of the courtroom of the Audiencia Nacional where Operation Kitchen is being tried, Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría recalled the string of positions she accumulated during Mariano Rajoy’s time in Moncloa: sole Vice President of the Government, Government spokesperson, and Minister of the Presidency, from which the National Intelligence Center (CNI) depended. Despite this accumulation of power, Sáenz de Santamaría has “no knowledge” —not even “no recollection”— of the operation, allegedly orchestrated from the Ministry of Interior, to steal documentation from the former treasurer of the Popular Party, Luis Bárcenas.
Donald Trump sought to exit the war with Iran with a pact before the midterm elections, but his unruly ally, Israel, threatens to blow the agreement apart. Benjamin Netanyahu announced early Sunday a new wave of bombings in the southern neighborhoods of Beirut, one of the red lines that the United States had set in the ceasefire signed between the Lebanese and Israeli governments last April 17.
Artificial intelligence today invades every aspect of technologies that until just a few years ago had never been related to it. There is no manufacturer who prides themselves on attending the IFA fair in Berlin, the most important consumer electronics show in Europe, without AI being present among the functions of their devices, a way to optimally automate multiple functions without the user having to learn new things every time they acquire a device. For that, in most cases, it is necessary for the algorithms to be able to analyze in some detail what they have in front of them. The solution is cameras, which are beginning to be present in practically all types of devices. Eyes for AI.
