Florenci Pujol lived with growing anguish in the last years of his life. The use that his son, Jordi, made of Banca Catalana worried him greatly. This is evident from the unpublished entries of the diary of his son-in-law, Francesc Cabana, to which La Vanguardia has had access. Cabana, 91 years old, is the widower of Jordi Pujol’s sister. In 1988, the lawyer and economic historian published Banca Catalana. Personal Diary, a history of the entity of which he was secretary general, general director, and vice president. The volume included some entries from his diary during the time at the bank. Cabana’s personal diary, however, contained more notes that he did not include at that time.

Now comes the second part of the no to war. Now come the bills and reprisals for not having unconditionally supported the United States. The economic bill of the war is yet to be determined. It is the great global unknown at this moment. Germany

P edro Sánchez began to use the expression “working middle class” profusely in the summer of 2022, coinciding with the peak of inflation (10% year-on-year) caused by the war in Ukraine, which reached 10% year-on-year. It was about reaching his

Until yesterday, the central Government appeared in public – and also in private – “absolutely calm” in the face of threats from the President of the United States, Donald Trump, to withdraw his troops from Spain. Sources from Moncloa, who framed them within the hyperbolic rhetoric of the White House occupant, downplayed them by pointing out that it is enough to follow – “from logic and common sense” – the dotted line of the million-dollar American investments in the bases of Rota (Cádiz) and, to a lesser extent, Morón de la Frontera (Seville) to determine their future in the face of the repeated warnings coming from Washington. The inconsistency between the flood of millions of dollars and the Republican’s warnings led to the belief that it was just another salvo. The sequence is clarifying.

The candidate of Por Andalucía for the Presidency of the Junta, Antonio Maíllo, presented this Saturday in Algeciras (Cádiz) the coalition’s fiscal proposal, “a key tool to strengthen public services that would allow raising more than 1,000 million euros without affecting the working majority.”

The general secretary of the Andalusian PSOE and candidate for the Presidency of the Junta in the May 17 elections, María Jesús Montero, has called for “feminist training” for judges so that they have a “more inclusive” view of the rules. Montero, who participated in a campaign event on equality in Mairena del Aljarafe (Seville), explained that the Government of Spain “implemented a supplement for gaps in women’s pension contributions” when they had to perform caregiving tasks but that, “every time the courts rule, they overturn it.”

Spain debates the ban on the burka. The Popular Party and Vox are pushing legislative proposals. But the most significant signal has come from another place: Fèlix Larrosa, socialist mayor of Lleida, has taken the initiative to ban the full veil — burka and niqab — in

The art of electoral poster study —the descriptive interpretation of posters during elections— is revived every time the ballot boxes are dusted off, and in the case of the Andalusian elections on the upcoming May 17, it was no different. The parties running on 17-M launched the campaign last night, with a poster posting that is already as traditional as it is symbolic, and unveiled their slogans and composition.

The president of the Junta de Andalucía and PP-A candidate for re-election, Juanma Moreno, announced this Saturday that if he remains in office after the regional elections on May 17, he will launch the Activa 365 Plan against childhood sedentary behavior, which promotes physical activity among the youngest in contrast to the frequent use of tablets and other electronic devices currently.

Isabel Díaz Ayuso has claimed the Community of Madrid as a “trendy” region in Spain because it is a territory free of “nationalism and identity ideologies.” At the institutional event celebrating the Community of Madrid Day, the president spoke positively about Catalonia and pointed out that the Madrid region has become “the economic, political, and social engine” of Spain.
