The Minister of Education and Vocational Training, Esther Niubó, begins the new school year with a strike and with Catalonia excluded from the PISA report. In this interview, she proposes opening a phase of “construction” with the unions and promoting spaces for dialogue with the community on aspects of the system, such as inclusive schooling or immigration, and pedagogical issues: “If a child is not reading in 3rd grade of Primary, what do we have to do?”.

It was a decision announced, although it was postponed again for a while. “I have no choice but to declare the trial null,” declared Judge William Sullivan this Thursday, who presides over the trial against Lindsay Clancy in the Plymouth (Massachusetts) court, the mother accused of killing her three children but who pleaded not guilty due to suffering from postpartum trauma, has caused a division in the jury and in the conscience of the United States.

Catalan hospitals are planning organizational measures to counteract a potential decrease in activity due to the Ni un minut més campaign, through which numerous specialists have refused to perform care activities beyond their regular working hours, in demand of labor improvements. Metges de Catalunya (MC) attributes a significant increase in the surgical waiting list in Catalonia to this campaign, launched on June 1, while the Department of Health downplays this impression, arguing that the study period is too short to draw conclusions.

If you could grant any quality to your children, which would you choose? Great intelligence? Empathy for humanity? Much more respect for their parents? The ability to walk past the fridge without opening it?

The trial against Lindsay Clancy, accused of the murder of her three children in the Plymouth (Massachusetts) court, is wrapped in a great deal of drama that has captured the United States.

Under the motto “When the territory is the ingredient,” the event reinforces an idea increasingly valued by the food and tourism industry: gastronomic excellence is born not only from technique but also from the landscape, the product, and local identity. This year’s edition arrives with a clear narrative and a well-defined strategy. Andorra Taste is not limited to bringing together renowned chefs; it builds a discourse around high mountain gastronomy as an economic, cultural, and tourist asset. In a market where origin, authenticity, and sustainability are already consumer demands, the Andorran festival fits precisely. Its proposal connects with an audience seeking experiences with content, prestige, and a sense of territory.

The unions Ustec and CGT maintain the strike call for the first day of the school year after the meeting with the councilor Esther Niubó ended without progress. The councilor, for her part, has asked for a pause in the mobilizations to work “calmly” on the demands. To this end, she has offered an agenda to discuss aspects of educational quality. “We have to move from a scenario of tension to a constructive one,” she said, claiming the path started with unprecedented mobilized resources and that it must continue with greater progress, but always from a space of “trust.”

The case dividing the United States is stuck in court. The jurors in the trial against Lindsay Clancy, the mother accused of killing her three children, informed the judge this Wednesday that they had reached a deadlock for the second time, a day after sending the judge a first note stating that they were unable to reach an agreement.
