For more than two weeks the Government showed its inflexible face in the face of the flood of migrants arriving in Ceuta. It was assumed that the priority was to seal the border and this required securing the cooperation of Morocco and warning those who intended to enter illegally that…
The seismic series, with about fifty earthquakes recorded this Tuesday in Granada, has caused minor damage to the monumental complex of the Alhambra, none structural.
Something more than just another trial of the century for Mark Zuckerberg. Meta appeared this Tuesday before a court in Oakland (California) to face a high-risk oral hearing with great transformative capacity for its networks due to accusations that it deliberately introduced tools into Facebook and Instagram to encourage compulsive use among young users, regardless of the harm. “Looking the other way was more profitable,” according to the lawsuit.
The magician Juan Tamariz has passed away at the age of 83, as confirmed by his daughter Ana in a message on social media. Tamariz, born on October 18, 1942, found success in the 1970s, when he was recognized in France, which led to greater success in Spain. His card tricks and illusions, his eccentric stage presence, his top hat, and his way of celebrating the audience’s surprise with the solemn notes of an imaginary violin (“naraniaronaniaro…”) resonated in a society that raised him as an icon.
Johan Cruyff used to say that players who doubted were not fit for Barça. Rodri Hernández never doubted, even though the Madrid-born midfielder was also wanted by Real Madrid. But the international midfielder was clear as soon as Barcelona came into the picture. “It’s true that there were other possibilities, as you say – he argued without mentioning the Whites – but Barcelona was always my first choice. It has always been a reference for me because of its style of play and the values it represents,” he said in his debut. “I keep the reasons for my decision to myself, but I have always been driven by sporting arguments,” Rodri defended his choice, very grateful to Manchester City but excited about Barça’s project: “It is a team that is growing a lot. They have won two consecutive leagues with all the difficulty that entails and in Europe they have been one step away from the Champions League. One of the reasons for coming here is not only the present but the projection of the project,” he proclaimed.
With the absence of Margarita Robles, the third minister to do so in just one week, the Government has opted for the path of fait accompli in its standoff with the Senate, dominated by the PP. The Executive denies that this is a “snub” following the migration crisis of July 30 in Ceuta — where 72,000 people crossed the border and more than 140 died — and claims that the ministers will attend “later.” The maneuver, however, allows it to freeze explanations in the hostile territory of the PP’s absolute majority until September, when more than a month will have passed since the tragedy.
The Partido Popular multiplied itself yesterday on all fronts to elevate the migration debate in Ceuta to the level of a state crisis. From the coast of Lugo to the border perimeter of the autonomous city, the opposition leadership coordinated its discourse to accuse Pedro Sánchez’s government of violating territorial integrity and to demand a structural shift that returns direct control of its borders to the Spanish institutions, moving the discussion from mere emergency management to a comprehensive questioning of the diplomatic strategy in North Africa.
Rodri Hernández is now officially a new Barça player until 2030. After arriving in Barcelona late Monday afternoon and spending Tuesday morning undergoing the relevant medical examination at the training ground, the 30-year-old from Madrid went to the club’s offices to sign his new contract with Barça.
Barça makes the signing of Rodri official and the Spanish midfielder becomes one of the main protagonists of the blaugrana market. Follow all the latest transfer news live, the first reactions, and all the details of his arrival at the culé team.
The European Commission makes it clear that EU law supports the return of all migrants who crossed the fence in Ceuta at the end of July, including unaccompanied minors. This was emphasized by its Interior spokesperson, Markus Lammert, who recalled that EU law does provide for their return and assured that the priority of the European Commission is for the Moroccan authorities to “maintain control of the situation and ensure the rapid return of all persons who remain irregularly” in the autonomous city.
