On May 27, two days before Jonathan Andic’s defense showed on RAC1 a document with the record of calls and messages that Isak Andic’s eldest son made during his lightning trip to Ecuador, the judge of Martorell investigating him for the father’s homicide ordered Vodafone to provide the call traffic of that terminal, as reported this Wednesday by El País and confirmed by this newspaper. The order from Judge Raquel Nieto responded to a request from the Mossos d’Esquadra, prior to the arrest of the son of the founder of Mango. The son of the founder of Mango arrived in Quito on March 24, 2025, and returned two days later, on the 26th, on a lightning work trip.
A critical Europeanist is defined. The British Martin Wolf (London, 1946) has received the European Construction award given each year by the Cercle d’Economia. His columns in the Financial Times have inspired the debate on the global economy for decades.
Ukrainian drones reached Russia’s second city this Wednesday, where the St. Petersburg Economic Forum, known as “the Russian Davos,” begins on the same day.

The exchange of skirmishes between Iran and the United States is becoming a constant during the fragile ceasefire currently governing the conflict. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed this Wednesday that it attacked a US ship in response to a previous offensive by the North American country against an Iranian tanker near the Strait of Hormuz, in a new offensive round that both parties accuse each other of initiating. Meanwhile, Kuwait was forced to suspend flights after its international airport was targeted by Iranian reprisals, causing injuries and damage.
The Spanish Government has been invited by the company Anthropic, like the rest of the countries of the European Union, to access its artificial intelligence model Claude Mythos, which for the first time will be tested outside the borders of the United States and the United Kingdom. This AI has been considered a very dangerous tool, because in its initial tests it identified hundreds of significant security flaws in all computer and mobile operating systems, which led Anthropic to create in mid-April a closed group of companies such as Apple, Google, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Amazon, among others, in the so-called Project Glasswing, which is now being accessed by European countries.
Juan Antonio Samaranch said of the 1992 Olympic Games that they had managed to change the mentality of the people of Barcelona. “Now they are more optimistic, less whiny,” he defended, in an interview with La Vanguardia in March 1996. The social – almost Olympic – sport of overseeing each and every one of the 73 neighborhoods of Barcelona has not been lost, but if that summer achieved anything, everyone who made it possible agrees, it was to establish a confidence that never left. At the forefront of the metamorphosis, with permission from Maragall, was precisely the now deceased president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), who passed away in 2010, a figure who was honored yesterday just in the year that marks 40 years since his “a la ville de… Barcelona.”
The National Commission on Markets and Competition (CNMC) approved on Monday a report that represents a setback for Aena’s investment plan for the period between 2027 and 2031.

In the long and intense third session of the trial against David Sánchez, a dozen witnesses addressed the three vertices of the case. The first refers to the allegedly nepotistic hiring of the brother of President Pedro Sánchez as coordinator of the conservatories of the Diputación de Badajoz in 2017. The second focuses on the alleged irregularities surrounding a modification of David Sánchez’s position when in 2022 he became director of the Office of Performing Arts. The third addresses the alleged favoritism of Luis Carrero, a friend of David Sánchez, as coordinator of centers and cross-border activities also by the Diputación de Badajoz in 2024.
