A bad body leaves us with the disturbing intersection of the civil consecration of the Princess of Asturias with the announced exchange of amnesty for investiture. Shamelessness to power, listen.

With the constitutional oath of the heir to the Crown, it prostrated itself before the will of the sovereign people. Not the other way around. “I owe myself to the Spanish,” said Mrs. Leonor.. That is not shielding the monarchy, as those who (six groups, three ministers, two regional presidents) say call for its abolition and skipped the morning institutional act in Congress.

What happened yesterday means shielding the heir's embrace of a democratic Constitution inspired by such republican values as secularism, freedom, justice, equality, pluralism, separation of powers, decentralization of territorial power, etc.. That is the content of the social and democratic State of law in the formal envelope of a parliamentary monarchy.. Background and shape.

The event coincided with the dissemination of the story that justifies the prostration of the State before the demands of its enemies for the handful of votes in Congress (seven, to be precise) to shield the amnesty operation for investiture.. Namely: “For the good of Spain”, according to the acting President of the Government and leader of the PSOE, Pedro Sánchez, as a beneficiary of his party's furtive dealings with Carles Puigdemont, a fugitive from Justice whose mission in life is renounce Spain, destroy the State and denigrate the King.

What can go wrong in a power equation founded on bases as subversive as those, or those provided by Sánchez's remaining republican and plurinational supporters? All of them are supporters of the amnesty for the coup plotters of October 2017 in Catalonia. A party operation that perpetrates electoral fraud and divides society, attacks the principle of equality between people and territories, leaves the judicial power at the feet of horses and presents a frustrating asymmetry between the will to forget on one side and the the other's willingness to reoffend against the constitutional order.

The reply lives in the appeal to reasons of “public utility”, general interests, common good, what is convenient to improve coexistence between Spaniards. In other words, I insist, “for the good of Spain”, which is the expression used by the leader of the PSOE a few days ago before the leadership of his party.. And at this point I cannot resist the temptation to evoke the historical verbal lashing of Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) against those who decide the destinies of others from an office far from reality: “Patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels”.

I explain:

The general interest is the theoretically rational version of everything for the country, which is the emotional alibi to justify anything. But since Dr. Johnson said that, political elites have brought the mantra of public utility and general interests to written constitutions.. If necessary, it would be the joke of those who make decisions without treading the dust of the road. As a last refuge from scoundrels? I stay in hiding from unscrupulous politicians.

See—hear—the very recent cry of Patricia Bullrich (third in contention in the Argentine elections) to justify her unexpected support for the atrabiliary Javier Milei in the face of the second round of the presidential elections: “If the country is in danger, everything is allowed.”

Well that. Sánchez has understood that the country would be in danger if the elections had to be repeated and the extreme right entered the Government. In those circumstances, everything is allowed.

The phone is smoking. When not even 10 days have passed since the death of Arancha, the young woman who was attacked by a pack of mastiffs, the fear of these animals is still very present in Zamora. So much so that residents from all over the province alert the Civil Guard agents when, in their towns or nearby roads, they see loose dogs.. They do not want an event similar to that of Roales del Pan to be repeated.

In recent days, and after that deadly attack, news has spread in other parts of the country, which has only fueled nervousness among residents.. A few days ago the death of an elderly woman in Murcia was known after being bitten by a dog and on Tuesday it emerged that another animal attacked a minor in the Pontevedra town of Fornelos.

While the investigation continues, sources from the Civil Guard consulted by El Confidencial confirm the trend: “Now it is very common for neighbors to call us from the towns to warn us that they have seen loose dogs.”. These notices, as they clarify, do not come from the area closest to Roales, but rather are made from other points in the province..

The sources consulted also warn that, since the events occurred and in line with the increase in notices, the volume of controls on pets of this type has grown at the same time.. However, and despite the increase in these checks, which the Benemérita staff carry out to examine that all the animals' documentation is in order, the same sources indicate that massive examinations are not being carried out.. This was precisely the fear of some ranchers..

Door to door notices

The residents of Roales del Pan, for their part, continue, as their mayor, David García, admits, “very affected”. Everyone there tries to overcome the grief and, as García explains, there is still fear. Aside from the controls that the Civil Guard has been able to carry out on some properties, the mayor explains that he has also taken measures so that tragic events such as Arancha's death do not occur again..

In this sense, the mayor comments that he has gone to visit all those neighbors who have large dogs, even if they are not dangerous breeds, to try to raise awareness and ensure that they have all the permits related to their animal in order: “People for “It is generally civil, we have never had problems of this type”.

Being a small town, García explains that there have also been numerous residents who have gone to the town hall to explain that they had already had problems with the dogs that carried out the attack on Arancha.. However, the mayor does not hide his discomfort in this regard.. It is not explained that now everyone has had some clash, but that no one would have reported it at the time. Perhaps in this way the tragic event would have been avoided..

“Exceptional situations”

The Royal Canine Society of Spain (RSCE), after these latest events and as stated by EP, has demanded controlled breeding and responsible ownership to preserve the functions, temperament and characteristics of the different dog breeds after the attacks resulting in the death of two women in Zamora and Murcia.

In a press conference held this Tuesday at the RSCE headquarters in Madrid, its president, José Miguel Doval, described the recent attacks as “exceptional situations” and insisted that responsible breeding allows us to have animals whose behavior is predictable, because “many of these cases usually occur due to uncontrolled breeding.”

The investigating court number 2 of A Coruña has decreed the provisional detention of the two men arrested for the shooting death of another man in Arteixo (A Coruña).

The events occurred last Sunday at 5:55 p.m. in this town in A Coruña, ending with the death of a 42-year-old man..

Hours later, the Civil Guard arrested two men as alleged perpetrators of what happened, who were brought to justice this Tuesday..

The judge of the Court of Instruction number 2 of A Coruña has decreed his entry into provisional prison, communicated and without bail.

At this time, the investigation has been opened for an alleged crime of homicide.

The Government's deputy delegate, María Rivas, said yesterday that the investigation remains open and new arrests are not ruled out, which is why she demanded “letting the Civil Guard work” in the case..

The mayors of the regional capitals of La Litera, Cinca Medio and Bajo Cinca have staged this Tuesday, on the banks of the Cinca River, the “fatigue” of the eastern zone of Huesca with the “maneuvers” of the “radical and squatter” independence movement of Junts by “trying to appropriate” half of the province of Huesca. The meeting was led by the mayor of Monzón and president of the Huesca Provincial Council, Isaac Claver; the mayor of Binéfar, Patricia Rivera; the mayor of Tamarite, Sandra González; and the mayor of Fraga, Ignacio Gramún.

The president of the Provincial Council of Huesca and mayor of Monzón, Isaac Claver, has thus come out against the statements of the former president of the Catalan autonomous community and successor of the escaped Carles Puigdemont, Quim Torra, who with “interested historical interpretations”, has recently stated that the border with Catalonia should be marked by the Cinca River. Claver has lamented that “this is not the first time that the independence movement has wanted to appropriate territories in the province of Huesca, disrespecting and disregarding our Alto Aragonese and Spanish identity and sentiment.”.

Possible requirement

In this framework, Claver has asked the Huesca socialists, who recently supported the amnesty in their National Committee, to “publicly condemn” the words of the former Catalan president. For this reason, in the next plenary session of the Huesca Provincial Council, the Popular Party group will present a motion “to give an opportunity to the 12 PSOE deputies to condemn the words of Puigdemont's successor.”.

The president of the DPH has taken the opportunity to show his concern about the national political situation and has warned that “in the coming years, if the new Sánchez government takes shape, we will repeatedly witness this type of statements that are not exempt from political intentionality”.

Claver has warned that “although the words of Puigdemont's successor, Quim Torra, may seem like an occurrence or delirium as the press has highlighted, they could become a new demand for the formation of the new Government of Spain.. “The radical independentists ask and Sánchez has already shown that he is capable of anything.”. Isaac Claver concluded by emphasizing that “those who encourage the independence movement are co-responsible for the delusions of these activists.”.

The jury court of the Provincial Court of Pontevedra has handed down a 20-year prison sentence to an individual, identified as Pablo P.. V., for the crime of his neighbor in a residential complex on Zamora Street, in Vigo. The accused was unanimously found guilty of a crime of murder that included cruelty and treachery.

According to the presentation of the facts in the sentence, which is still appealable, both the aggressor and the victim had “coexistence problems” due to certain noises that the convicted person attributed to the woman.. The fatal encounter between the two occurred accidentally on October 23, 2022, in the common areas of the building..

In the judicial report, it is stated that after a brief verbal interaction, Pablo P. IN. went up to his apartment. Subsequently, he approached his neighbor “from behind with the intention of causing her death, carrying a red knife” with a 20 cm long blade, just as she was trying to enter his home..

Treachery and cruelty in crime

The jury's decision highlights the treachery in the attack, since it was carried out while the woman was on her back and suddenly. The victim, consequently, “could do nothing to defend himself”.

According to the ruling, the first attack was directed at the dorsal area of the victim, who screamed for help on two occasions.. The aggressor did not stop and continued stabbing her in different areas of her body.. The sentence also describes that the accused attacked her again inside her house, exacerbating the woman's suffering by stabbing her with the knife several times in her chest..

Details and evidence of the case

The violence of the assault was such that “the handle of the knife broke and the blade remained inside the victim's body,” who lost his life due to “immediate and irremediable loss of blood.”.

The homicidal intent was corroborated by the statements of Pablo P himself. IN. as well as the type of weapon used and the number of thrusts. Despite there being no eyewitnesses, neighbors indicated that they heard screams and the sound of a door slamming abruptly.. Upon the police's arrival, the accused confessed: “she is dead” and “I killed her.”.

Jury conclusion and appeals

The jury assessed the aggravating circumstance of treachery, and the most extensive debate focused on the issue of cruelty. It was concluded that the accused deliberately increased the victim's pain.

For all of the above, a sentence of 20 years was established, two more than what the Prosecutor requested, taking into account the aggravating factors of cruelty and treachery. The sentence can be appealed before the Superior Court of Xustiza de Galicia (TSXG).

Isabel Díaz Ayuso closes the health crisis that shook the last legislature. The Government of the Community of Madrid, which approved this Tuesday the draft budget for 2024, has increased the amount dedicated to primary care by 25% and has increased investment in health to above 10,000 million euros, which represents a record number in the region. This increase occurs a year after the outbreak of the conflict, with doctors and pediatricians on strike due to lack of staff and poor working conditions.. “Social spending accounts for almost nine out of every ten euros to reinforce public services,” boast the regional Executive, which works to avoid a contagion effect in other areas such as education..

Ayuso's first budgets with an absolute majority are focused on alleviating this problem. At the end of the last term, health became the main concern of the people of Madrid and the Achilles heel of the Executive, with two massive demonstrations. The starting point is now to resolve these shortcomings, especially in primary care, which is one of the most affected services.. The budget foresees a total of 2,572 million euros for this item, which represents a considerable increase compared to the latest accounts, from 2022 and extended.

The total budget for health amounts to 10,157 million euros, the largest in the history of the Community of Madrid, with 16% more. Criticism from health professionals, however, has not been completely silenced. The Amyts union, which promoted the mobilizations last year, reiterates that the situation in the Out-of-Hospital Emergencies is bad a year after the reform undertaken by the Ministry of Health, which caused the first mobilizations and fueled the subsequent health crisis..

Doctors insist that the teams do not have all the strength. “The reform caused an unprecedented earthquake with the closure of centers, amortization of their positions, reorganization of professionals, reduction in working and healthcare conditions and even the disappearance of more than 250 positions for doctors, without forgetting the beginning of health care without presence of doctor. Where before there were 480 doctors, there are now 226,” they say in a statement..

The Community of Madrid, which has always criticized the political interests of the protests, knows that there are points to improve, such as the length of waiting lists.. But at the same time it boasts of the enormous investment, with several projects underway. The Ayuso Executive foresees an investment of 76 million euros for the construction of 19 new health centers, in addition to large plans such as the center for ALS patients at the Isabel Zendal Nursing Hospital. Also the Mental Health and Addictions program, which will have a strategy for the care of children and adolescents.

The Madrid budgets also meet the demand due to the lack of personnel. At least in theory. Regional sources indicate that the forecast is to incorporate 14,000 professionals as permanent statutory personnel. “Stability and recognition of the professional career for temporary staff will continue to be prioritized,” they point out..

“Record in teasing”

The opposition, however, is suspicious of the real impact of the accounts on healthcare.. Más Madrid, the first party of the left in Madrid, criticizes that the more than 10,000 million euros are “insufficient”, given that the real expenditure exceeds that figure. “Ayuso boasts of budgets with a “historic record in healthcare” and I wish it were true. It promises 10,157 million, when last year it invested 11,248 million that were already insufficient. He practically promises health centers without doctors again. Historical record for teasing,” criticized Mónica García in X (formerly Twitter).

The PSOE, for its part, has reacted with a battery of initiatives that it hopes will be included in the final budgets, which will be debated in the Madrid Assembly in the coming weeks.. The socialist spokesperson, Juan Lobato, has detailed that the training will try to include measures such as the opening of schools from seven to seven or free cafeterias for families with incomes below 35,000 euros, among others..

Más Madrid has also presented its own amendments, focused on issues such as a regional scholarship of 400 euros per month to study outside of Spain or an aid of 100 euros for students in vulnerable situations..

The Minister of Economy and Finance, Rocío Albert, detailed during the press conference after the Government Council that the budgets provide for a salary increase for senior officials of the Administration, which had been frozen for several years.. This is not the case of Isabel Díaz Ayuso, who will maintain the same remuneration as in the last year: 103,090.32 euros per year.. “Not a single euro is increased with respect to the Budget that was established in 2023 and which has been frozen since 2010,” said Albert.

Possible contagion effect

The beginning of the legislature has threatened with a contagion effect in other areas, especially in education. As this newspaper reported, unions and parents' associations have already warned that they are willing to take to the streets in the face of the problems of the system, evidenced in issues such as the delay in the award of dining scholarships, which have finally been given to all applicants without exceptions, or the start of the course without teachers in the classrooms.

The accounts, which amount to 27,558 million euros, also foresee an increase in spending on education. According to the project approved this Tuesday in the Government Council, a total of 6,412 million euros will be allocated, 12.2% of the last precedent. The objective of the Ministry, headed by Emilio Viciana, is to expand the offer at all levels and increase scholarships and study aid, with an increase of 36%: 248 million euros. Those dedicated to the dining room, which have generated so many problems, have increased by 160%, with an allocation of 62 million. “They are prudent and realistic public accounts that will allow progress in policies to support families, giving priority to health, education, and care for the most vulnerable population,” they underline in Sol.

• Swearing in of the Constitution of Princess Leonor, live

This Tuesday, October 31, starting at 11:00 in the morning, Princess Leonor will take the oath to the Constitution before the Cortes Generales, coinciding with her 18th birthday. On the occasion of this solemn ceremony, the city of Madrid has been decorated, displaying the coat of arms of the Princess of Asturias and her image on canvas spread throughout numerous streets..

As the mayor of Madrid, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, highlighted on his. To commemorate the occasion, the streets of the center of Madrid display banners, and the EMT urban buses have added the shield of the Princess of Asturias to their sides, as well as the flag of Spain on the back of their vehicles..

• Where does that “trick or treat” thing that children say on Halloween night come from?
• The ghost town of Spain where you can spend an unusual Halloween (or at least try to)

On October 31, Halloween is celebrated in countless countries, even in those that do not have this tradition of pagan origin in their history.. In Spain, dressing up came later and joined All Saints' Day. On November 1, a holiday throughout the country, people usually visit the cemetery to honor deceased relatives and bring them flowers. In Catalonia, they also carry out the popular chestnut tree.

This popular festival is celebrated from November 31 to 1, although cities like Barcelona extend the activities to the rest of the week.. But traditionally during these two days they eat chestnuts – hence the name -, panellets, sweet potatoes and other fruits of the season..

Origin of chestnut

All Saints' Day is a date to remember the ancestors that has its origin in the Celtic peoples and the end of the harvest. The 18th century is taken as a reference for the birth of the chestnut tree, although there are other older elements of the festival.. The well-known panellets that fill the homes and pastry shops of Catalonia were already eaten in Roman times during banquets in honor of the deceased during the night of the souls.. The typical sweet is made of sweet potato and almonds and is traditionally eaten on November 1.

But the main element of the festival is the chestnut. This fruit is consumed mainly in autumn and winter and gives its name to the celebration.. According to the Catalan Costumari by Joan Amades, the chestnut trees of Barcelona were placed on All Saints' Day in the Portal del Angel and the Portal de Don Carlos, passage areas to go to the city's cemeteries: that of Poblenou and that of the plagued, which no longer exists. These women dressed in long skirts, wool aprons and hoods prayed for the souls of the deceased while roasting chestnuts.. It was also believed that getting soot on your face was good luck..

According to tradition, the popularization of eating chestnuts on November 1 is due to the bell ringers. And these workers spent hours touching the fields, so they needed to regain strength by eating one of the fruits of the season: chestnuts.. Now it is a tradition to accompany them with sweet wine and spend this holiday with family and friends..

If anyone was missing, it is because they were detained or dead.. The pata negra butroneros of Madrid joined together to deal various blows to trucks and transport companies in recent months. The criminal organization, which was made up of 8 people, fell in a joint operation by the National Police, the Civil Guard and the Mossos d'Esquadra.. They are accused of being responsible for 37 criminal acts and stealing merchandise worth 4 million euros..

Among the members of this gang, as police sources have confirmed to El Confidencial, there are very famous nicknames in this particular union, such as Lolo, Kun – with up to 6 arrests for robbery; or criminals like the two involved in a high-profile robbery with violence in August 2022 in a perfume shop in La Gavia (Madrid). The modus operandi of the detainees was always similar: they sneaked into warehouses where they knew there were trucks loaded with high-value merchandise, they looted them and quickly released the merchandise.. To do this, they put into practice an exercise that they master: they made buttons to enter the warehouses where the articles were or, failing that, they simply broke the locks..

Lolo, who grew up in the shelter of Goyito and who, without going any further, was the leader of a gang that fell in 2021 and that robbed chalets, was also known among agents for blowing up bank branch ATMs with explosives to steal money.. His history of violent assaults and police records is extensive and his methods are similar to those of the two La Gavia assailants..

The robbery of the perfume shop in the shopping center, which caused panic among those present, resulted in a theft of 250,000 euros after these two individuals broke into the establishment at gunpoint. The detainees even intimidated one of the shop assistants by pointing a gun at her directly.. Afterwards, they fled with the loot aboard a large displacement vehicle..

Several robberies, same pattern

The police operation that destroyed the Butroneros dream team took place on October 18 and took place in Madrid, Barcelona and Seville.. Among other police units, Group XXI, a team specialized in combating the crime of butroneros or aluniceros, participated in it.. The investigations began in the month of June, at which time investigators realized that several robberies had taken place that had the same pattern..

The dismantled network located trucks or warehouses in which there were high-value products that could easily be sold on the black market.. Then they got to work. When they did not directly take the tractor head of the trailer with the load, they resorted, as explained in a statement by the Madrid Police Headquarters, to stealing vans and license plates to avoid being detected while transporting the loot..

Among their most lucrative schemes is a perfume robbery in Alcázar de San Juan (Ciudad Real), where they took fragrances worth 300,000 euros; or the hit they carried out in September at another perfumery in Barcelona, where they left with merchandise valued at 350,000 euros. Another of their most profitable robberies occurred in Arganda del Rey (Madrid), where instead of stealing cologne and beauty items, they stole bicycles valued at 143,000 euros..

Drugs and weapons

The operation also culminated with three other arrests, as alleged perpetrators of a crime against public health, when cocaine, hashish, marijuana and pink cocaine were found in the records. In addition, 12,000 euros and some stolen vehicles were seized for the robberies. Likewise, the agents intercepted different firearms, electric and white weapons.

The 8 detainees were imprisoned as alleged perpetrators of the crimes of robbery, theft of a motor vehicle and license plates, falsification of documents, against public health and membership in a criminal group.

There was no doubt that the PP, after the result of 23-J, was going to turn the Senate into its watchtower to try to torpedo Sánchez's plans. Feijóo was not given the numbers in Congress to reach Moncloa, but he did achieve an absolute majority in the Upper House which, at the very least, can put a damper on the still acting Executive.. Although it has registered various appearances and commissions, the PP had still waited to supervise the Government in control sessions. Until now. This Tuesday, the Senate has set a control session for the acting Executive for next November 7, the same week in which the investiture of Pedro Sánchez could be held..

The call, however, could be void if the president of Congress sets Sánchez's investiture debate for that day.. What sources from the Upper House do confirm is that, if the plenary session is held in the Senate, the socialist leader will not attend. Precisely, the PSOE considers November 7 and 8 as possible dates for Sánchez's vote in Congress, so the first government oversight session in months could be held just a few hours before the socialist leader's inauguration..

The calendar, however, remains unknown.. But there are some keys that make possible the scenario that Sánchez requests the confidence of the Lower House next week. First, because the general secretary of the socialists has called for a consultation with his bases on his government pacts, the deadline for which ends next November 4.. And, second, because with the endorsement of militancy and the amnesty already on the table, the ideal for the PSOE would be to place the debate between the end of the aforementioned consultation and the congress of European Socialists, which is held in Malaga on November 10 and 11.

The PP has taken almost a month and a half to take the step of convening control sessions in the Senate, despite the constant complaint that Congress has frozen oversight of the Executive for weeks, despite the fact that the Cortes were formally established. last August 17. With the absolute majority it enjoys on the Senate Board, the PP could set the control sessions in the Upper House when it wanted, but in the first instance they decided to wait for Pedro Sánchez's investiture calendar to be clarified.. Finally, it has not been like that.

If the session is finally held, the PP will have ten question periods to question the members of the Government, which will be directed almost exclusively at the controversial processing of the amnesty law, especially after Sánchez loudly acknowledged that he will approve the grace measure “for Spain”, and in exchange for a new Government led by PSOE and Sumar. The decision was made just a few hours after Cuca Gamarra announced at the Genoa headquarters that the PP would oppose Sánchez and the possible amnesty law “by land, sea and air.”.

Feijóo, who now assumes his role as leader of the opposition, will toughen the pressure on the PSOE through all means. Beyond the story, the Popular Party is already working on the legal framework to try to stop the amnesty not only in the courts, but also in the Senate, where the Popular Party has the possibility of, at least, slowing down the processing of the grace measure.. This same Monday, Sánchez has laid the last stone towards his investiture after sending his Secretary of Organization, Santos Cerdán, to Brussels to build bridges with Carles Puigdemont.
