PSOE counterattacks Vox’s “national priority” with an offensive for “citizen equality”

If the far-right Vox decided to pressure the Popular Party by presenting initiatives in all town halls in favor of the principle of “national priority,” putting Alberto Núñez Feijóo’s party in a tight spot in all territories following the investiture agreements sealed in Extremadura, Aragón, and soon in Castilla y León, now it is the PSOE who is counterattacking, and this Sunday it announced that it will register initiatives, in the form of motions or bills, in town halls, regional parliaments, the General Courts, the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces (Femp), and the European Parliament, “to defend the principle of citizen equality that the PP and Vox intend to break with the concept of national priority.”

The rift between Florenci and Jordi Pujol comes to light

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 This is evident from the unpublished entries of the diary of his son-in-law, Francesc Cabana, to which La Vanguardia has had access.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.

Trump’s threats about Rota and Morón clash with investment in the bases

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.

Montero uses Ayuso as an example that “a woman at the head of an institution does not guarantee a feminist perspective”

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.”
