Bad Bunny has managed to elevate the genre of urban music, the one that mixes hip-hop, reggaeton, Latin rhythms, and autotune, into a mass spectacle that no one wants to miss. Ten years ago, no one gave a dime for this music, relegated to the margins of society and nights of excess, but last night it brought together in the stands a cast of politicians led by the Minister of Culture, Ernest Urtasun, along with Mayor Jaume Collboni and no less than four consellers of the Generalitat. A tribute to popular music like Pujol strolling through the April Fair or Tierno Galván shouting “those who aren’t high, get high.”
The elections for the presidency of Real Madrid have turned into a media battle between Florentino Pérez and Enrique Riquelme, which reached its peak yesterday. Candidate Riquelme gave an interview on El Hormiguero in which he announced that he has secured Norwegian striker Erling Haaland, current player for Manchester City.

The organization led by Santos Cerdán orchestrated to destroy judicial cases had a dual approach. On one hand, to look for dirt on investigators of matters affecting the PSOE or the environment of the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez.

The first quarter of the year does not usually bring good news in terms of employment. It comes after the Christmas campaign and before the start of the summer season has been activated. Therefore, these are three months that usually see a loss of employed people and a gain in unemployed people, as has also happened on this occasion. From January to March, 170,300 jobs were lost, according to data from the Labour Force Survey (EPA) published this morning, and the unemployment rate rose to 10.83%.

Jonathan Andic called 112 at noon on December 14, 2024, after the fatal fall of his father, Isak Andic, on the Camí de les Feixades de Montserrat. He spoke with three operators, one from the emergency system, one from the Generalitat Firefighters, and a nurse from the SEM while he was on his way to the location. The three brief communications are reproduced by lawyer Cristóbal Martell in the 27-page appeal filed at three in the afternoon at the Barcelona Court, against the detention order for an alleged homicide crime by the victim’s son. In the three very brief calls, the son of the founder of Mango is heard crying. “I need help. I need help. My father has fallen. Ah, we are in Collbató. Yes, he has fallen.” When the operator asks if he fell or tripped, the businessman’s son responds through tears: “I think he fell off a cliff, please send someone, send an ambulance, send someone, please.”

The opposition groups already demanded a few days ago in the Interior commission of the Parliament the dismissal of the councilor of the department, Núria Parlon, and the general director of the Police, Josep Lluís Trapero, for infiltrating agents of the Mossos d’Esquadra in a teachers’ assembly within the framework of the protests of the educational sector, an act for which both leaders apologized to the representatives of the teachers.
