Spain added the eighth medal of its Birmingham World Championship with a bronze in the mixed 4×100. The Spanish team, made up of Guillem Crespí, Maribel Pérez, Andoni Crespí, and Jaël Bestué, crossed the finish line in 40.42, a time that sets a new Spanish record.
He just turned 30 years old and Jaafar Jackson couldn’t be celebrating them at a better personal moment. His first film, Michael, has become the highest-grossing biographical movie in history, having grossed to date 991 million dollars, far ahead of what Oppenheimer brought Universal. And although the critics were not exactly generous with the film directed by Antoine Fuqua and co-produced by Michael Jackson’s own family, the extraordinary work he has done to become who his uncle was in real life promises to give him a place in the Oscar race.
The police report analyzes in detail the phase prior to the assault on the Ceuta border on July 31, the operational strategy at the time, and its subsequent consequences. In 55 pages, the officials of the National Immigration and Borders Center outline the prior planning to mobilize a massive flow; the existence of a strategic and operational direction and two objectives. The first, to collapse the border management system; and the second, to eliminate Spain’s response capacity.
The Spanish political landscape is always shifting, but the vibration is special these days. There are pieces that may fall to the ground. In this context, La Vanguardia interviews Arnaldo Otegi, leader of EH Bildu, the most stable and silent ally of President Pedro Sánchez.
The Dane Jonas Vingeggard was forced to abandon the Tour de France after suffering a dramatic crash 20 km from the finish of the fifteenth stage, which was held between Champagnole and Plateau de Solaison, in which the Mexican from UAE Isaac del Toro was also involved. Vingeggard, winner of two Tours de France and one of the favorites in the current edition, went down in a curve along with other riders, but the Dane got the worst of it with a strong blow to his right shoulder.
El paseo Joan de Borbó has a double life. On one side, La Barceloneta: that fishermen’s neighborhood transformed into a tourist attraction that, however, retains its usual rhythm, with real residents. On the other, the port; Marina Port Vell, one of the most important marinas in the Mediterranean, specialized in large yachts where fifty meters is the minimum to fit in.
One month after the breach of the Tarajal border, through which more than 80,000 people entered in just 48 hours, Ceuta is a city with spirits at rock bottom. The deep feeling of institutional abandonment, combined with high doses of indignation, fear, and uncertainty, has taken over the streets. The same streets where thousands of immigrants continue to wander. The locals, whose August (their peace, their freedom) has been stolen with confinements not decreed by the BOE but by the lack of security, fear that the tension stemming from indignation will break their historic multicultural coexistence. That the crack at the border with Morocco will irreversibly fracture a population whose patience is at its limit due to unfulfilled promises.
At least ten autonomous communities will attend this Thursday, August 27, the Sectoral Conference on Childhood and Adolescence, which will address the extraordinary credit of 25 million euros intended for the care of migrant minors in Ceuta, following the massive arrival of foreigners on July 30, as well as the possible distribution among the autonomous communities of these minors. And, for now, three others have confirmed that they will be absent from the meeting: Castilla y León, Extremadura, and Aragón, while the Balearic Islands, the Community of Madrid, and La Rioja have, for the moment, avoided confirming their presence.
It had been only a few weeks since the war between Ukraine and Russia had broken out, and the editor of La Vanguardia, Javier Godó, was considering the creation of a format that would allow for in-depth reflection on the consequences of the most important armed conflict on European soil since World War II. The idea was to involve the human and technical potential of the group’s media, both La Vanguardia and RAC1, to offer subscribers, readers, and listeners a cross-sectional view of a conflagration that, even in those days, was evident would mark the history of Europe and international relations. With this vocation, Foros de Vanguardia was born on April 7, 2022. The debut was a debate with correspondents from La Vanguardia and RAC1 who had been or were still on the front lines in Ukraine or neighboring borders. The Eyes of the War was the title, and the auditorium of the Círculo Ecuestre was packed to capacity to hear the experiences of María Paz López, Félix Flores, Plàcid Garcia Planas, Jordi Armenteras, and Joaquín Luna. It was a resounding success. So much so that a month later, we repeated with a special guest, the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares. Since then, approaching five years of existence and fifty editions, the Forums have expanded the range of topics and, in the process, have become fully integrated into Barcelona’s agenda, becoming one of the city’s essential events.
The president of the Junta of Andalusia and PP candidate in the elections, Juanma Moreno, has described this Thursday the idea of national priority promoted by the ultranationalist party Vox as “propagandistic.” In his opinion, it is a proposal that in some aspects is unrealistic, and even illegal.
