Pope Leo XIV begins a tour of Spain today that will last until next Friday and will take him first to Madrid, then to Barcelona, and finally to the Canary Islands, where he will learn firsthand about the migratory reality in the archipelago.
Mr. X has been an unsolved mystery for thirty years; it took a decade to identify M. Rajoy in a courtroom; Z is the first president in history to be indicted, and now, the Civil Guard infers that The One is Pedro Sánchez. To infer is a verb…
The Vatican flag has been flying since Thursday in Brians 1, the penitentiary center of Sant Esteve Sesrovires that will receive Leo XIV on Wednesday, becoming the first Pope to visit a Spanish prison. A brigade of bricklayers works tirelessly tidying up the auditorium that will host the Pontiff’s meeting with eighty inmates and twenty prison officials. The walls are immaculately white and smell of fresh paint.
Pope Leo XIV arrives tomorrow in Madrid on his first visit to Spain, which will last until June 12. His journey will take him to Barcelona and end in the Canary Islands. There is interest in knowing what messages the Pope will want to give in Spain and how his speeches will be received from the political sphere.
When a union loses a consultation by 65% of votes against the agreement it has endorsed, one has to wonder to what extent it negotiates on behalf of its congregation, affiliated or not, and what pulse it has of their feelings. This is what happened to Ustec in the teachers’ vote on…
The Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office wants to know if the meetings at the State Attorney General’s Office with Leire Díez, known as the PSOE’s “plumber,” are true. In a document submitted in the case investigating a plot to torpedo judicial cases affecting the Socialist Party or the environment of the President of the Government, the prosecutors demand that the instructor request the visitor log at the Ministry’s headquarters on Fortuny Street, between April 2024 and June 2025, for a series of people.
Pedro Sánchez has stated that all the revelations from the summary of the Leire Díez case, which, according to the investigation, would have been orchestrated by his former right-hand man in the PSOE, Santos Cerdán, “fill us with disappointment, concern, and indignation.” Not only the entire Government and the entire PSOE: “Me too,” he warned.
Tubos Reunidos is now the third investigated company that was rescued in 2021 during the pandemic by the State Society of Industrial Participations (SEPI), as were Plus Ultra and Air Europa. In this case, it has been by order of the judge of the Audiencia Nacional, Santiago Pedraz, who yesterday ordered the search of its headquarters by the central operational unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard.
The director of the Civil Guard, Mercedes González, who until now had denied any meeting with former PSOE militant Leire Díez, now admits to at least two meetings with the so-called socialist ‘plumber’, although she places them outside the headquarters of the armed institute. Through a statement, the highest-ranking official of the body assures that “she has never interfered in any investigation carried out by the agents” of the body she directs. And that communications were cut off after Díez proposed that she reinstate Commander Rubén Villalaba, who was removed after being charged in the Koldo Case. Something González rejected.
Last-minute surprise in the trial against David Sánchez. The court admitted last night the PP’s request for the president’s brother to face a new accusation of malfeasance, which would entail six years in prison, double the three that were requested until now.
