A green tide marches in València, Alicante, and Castelló for the teachers’ demands

To the shout of “strike, strike, educational strike” or “the fighting teacher is also teaching,” among other chants, a thunderous green tide – because of the t-shirts that claim public school, “quality and in Valencian” – has marched through the streets of the Valencian capitals on this first Monday of indefinite strike in the education of the Valencian Community.

Slogans, emotion and Andalusian pride: the campaign decided in a few words

Slogans, emotion and Andalusian pride: the campaign decided in a few words

“With the strength of Andalusia” (PP), “Defend the public” (PSOE), “Common sense” (Vox), “The Andalusian left” (Por Andalucía) and “Vote what you feel” (Adelante Andalucía).

Inma Cuesta: “I am resentful; when someone deeply hurts me, I do not forget”

From San Sebastián, where she is shooting a new production, Inma Cuesta answers the call with that mix of closeness and concentration of someone in the middle of filming. Her joining Berlín y la dama del armiño was not part of a calculated strategy, but rather an unexpected intrusion: a proposal that arrived in the last days of the year, when work no longer appears on the immediate horizon and everything seems to shift towards the domestic.

Clapton, blues of a survivor

Clapton, blues of a survivor

It took more than two decades to see Eric Clapton again in Barcelona, an eternity for his fans who last night, once again at the Palau Sant Jordi, enjoyed an evening that many no longer expected. Good blues and solos from a legendary guitar that, judging by the quality of what was heard, could well have started with the “as we said yesterday” that El último de la Fila used a few days ago, in their own return from the world of the living. “It seems we’re here for the same thing,” greeted a woman old enough to be a grandmother at the entrance of Sant Jordi to an acquaintance, who responded firmly: “to see the master.”
