A fishing boat has found a body on Tuesday near Cap de la Nau, in Xàbia (Alicante), ten nautical miles from the coast. This is the seventh body located by fishing boats in recent months in the waters of the Marina Alta region, after they found six more bodies in the Dénia area.

The body, in a “very deteriorated” state, has been located before 9:30 a.m. by a fishing boat that has transferred it to the Port of Xàbia, as confirmed by sources from the port to Europa Press. The autopsy will determine the causes of death and the origin of the deceased person.

On March 24, the lifeless bodies of two men were found -one aged 20 and the other between 35 and 40-; while on April 12 they found two other people about two miles from the coast; On May 30, the remains of another one in an advanced state of decomposition and on June 3 they found another body seven miles from the Dénia coast.

The Council of Ministers has approved this Tuesday the dismissal of the diplomat Agustín Santos Maraver as ambassador of Spain to the UN after announcing that he will run as number two of Sumar's candidacy for Madrid in the general elections on July 23.

Executive sources have informed Efe of the approval of the royal decree with the dismissal, at his own request, of Maraver, a text that will be published on Wednesday in the Official State Gazette.

The second vice president of the Government and leader of Sumar, Yolanda Díaz, announced on Monday that the until now ambassador of Spain to the UN would be number two in her candidacy for Madrid.

Maraver had been carrying out his diplomatic responsibility at the United Nations since August 2018, when he replaced the former chief of staff of Mariano Rajoy in the Presidency of the Government, Jorge Moragas.

The leadership of Ciudadanos is studying sanctioning the former deputy spokesperson in Congress, Edmundo Bal, and the attorney in the Courts of Castilla y León, Francisco Igea, for their demonstrations and criticism launched against the national leaders Patricia Guasp and Adrián Vázquez, whom they accused of take over the party.

Although both have denied having received any notification from the party leadership for the moment, party sources have confirmed to EFE that they have analyzed the words of Bal and Igea as attacks that cross all lines, referring to statements such as that the party is “kidnapped” by some leaders who intend to use their economic resources to carry out their own campaign for the European elections next year.

In a meeting with affiliates and supporters held last Sunday in Madrid, Bal accused Patricia Guasp and Adrián Vázquez of “putting their personal projects before the collective” and of “keeping the party's current account”.

After denouncing that the leadership is “bunkered and entrenched”, the former deputy spokesman for the parliamentary group assured that “there is still time” to change his mind and “not leave the 300,000 voters of the last local and regional elections as “orphans”..

He also showed his rejection of the decision adopted on May 30 by the National Committee of Cs the attorney in Castilla y León, Francisco Igea, who claimed to prevent the party from “going underground”.

The trans activist Sandra Rodríguez Salas has announced this Tuesday that she is no longer acting councilor of the PSOE government team in Granada due to what she considers “latent transphobia” that exists in this party, and especially after Carmen Calvo heads the socialist candidacy in this province for the July 23 elections.

The mayor, who has had responsibilities for Employment, Youth and Entrepreneurship in the outgoing local government, explained at a press conference that this step represents a “symbolic resignation” of a municipal team that belongs to a party “parasitized by a latent transphobia absolutely worrisome,” he said..

He has accused the PSOE of having approved the so-called Trans Law “reluctantly, like someone who has a tooth removed without anesthesia”, and has placed former minister Carmen Calvo as the “most visible head” of a “transphobic movement”.

“The PSOE's auction is to put it as number 1 on its lists for Granada for Congress, it is intolerable,” said Rodríguez Salas, who has added that he cannot remain silent about this situation “in any way” in front of the person who considers that he has done the most damage to trans people.

According to the councilor, within the PSOE there is a “misnamed feminism”, understanding that you cannot be a feminist by excluding trans people and considering them “intruders”..

UNICEF has warned that Spain protects its children “little and bad” and has asked political parties, ahead of the July 23 elections, to be “concrete and ambitious” in their electoral proposals to protect children, girls and adolescents, and that they be “heard”. “Spain still protects its childhood little and poorly,” said the executive director of UNICEF Spain, José María Vera, this Tuesday, at a press conference to present his proposals for the general elections on July 23.

Vera has specified that they are beginning to meet with the different political formations at the state level and that the sensations are “positive” and that the proposals that find a “greater echo” are those of violence and mental health, areas in which the NGO asks the parties to be “more concrete and ambitious”.

As the NGO recalls, Spain has the third worst child poverty data in Europe, with 1 in 3 children at risk of poverty or social exclusion. In addition, Vera has specified that social transfers in Spain reduce child poverty by 9 percentage points compared to the European average of 15 points.

Likewise, it has indicated that 13.2% of minors live in homes with housing overload. “It is a luxury to have decent housing for many families,” he warned. Among UNICEF's proposals, they highlight that investment in childhood be increased to 2.5% of GDP (now it is at 1.6%) and universalize the child-rearing benefit up to 18 years of age..

Violence, a threat

On the other hand, UNICEF warns that 50% of the victims of violence are minors. “Children in this country suffer violence in their immediate, daily environment, at school, in families, on social networks. It is one of the greatest threats to their well-being and it is a number that does not stop growing”, indicated Vera.

In this sense, he has pointed out that Spain has a good law, the Law for the Protection of Children from Violence, but he has said that the challenge is its “implementation”. As he has pointed out, we must make the leap to be “implacable” with any type of violence. Thus, it has urged the proper establishment of the figure of the welfare and protection coordinator in educational centers. “The law establishes that it is mandatory but it has been implemented in a very unequal way between autonomous communities,” explained the UNICEF specialist in child policies, Almudena Olaguíbel..

For this reason, he has indicated that, from the NGO, they are “helping to regulate this figure” and offering enabling “training”. On the other hand, the director of UNICEF Spain has shown his concern for the thousands of children and adolescents who are under the protection system and has called for more determined steps so that minors grow up in families.

Likewise, it has denounced the situations suffered by migrant children, specifically, the “stigmatization and hate campaigns” of recent years. Likewise, it has called for an “urgent and significant” increase in specialized psychological care from the public system since, as it has warned, 15% of adolescents between the ages of 11 and 18 present severe or moderately severe symptoms of depression..

Regarding education, the NGO has revealed that Spain has an early school leaving rate of 13.9%, ranking second worst in the EU.

Agents of the National Police have arrested a 57-year-old man in Malaga, as the alleged perpetrator of the crimes of theft and misappropriation, after taking advantage of the vulnerability of an elderly woman from Ourense to keep the woman's money and jewelry.

According to police sources, the woman lives in Malaga and, due to her ailments, her loneliness and the absence of close relatives, she accepted the help of a neighbor in daily tasks, especially since the covid-19 health crisis..

Thus, little by little the man gained the trust of the octogenarian, who was widowed a few years ago and has no children, to such an extent that he took possession of part of her estate and became the victim's universal heir after a recent change of status. will in his favor.

The suspect began to monopolize the woman's routines, to control her finances, using her bank cards, with the excuse that he needed them to do the daily shopping for his neighbor.. Without realizing it, the lady was being isolated, and some neighbors and distant relatives, from Galicia, became aware of the situation, seeing that they were losing contact with the victim.

“Isolated and run down”

Telephone contacts with her relatives in Ourense were gradually reduced since the old woman was in the care of the suspect, and due to this lack of information, her relatives decided to travel to Malaga to check her condition..

When they arrived, they found the woman “socially isolated” and “very physically deteriorated”, so they convinced her to go to Galicia to spend some time with them..

It was the old woman herself who denounced the events at the Ourense Provincial Police Station a few days ago. The case began to be investigated by agents attached to the Provincial Judicial Police Brigade of the Malaga Police Station.

According to police investigations, the suspect made withdrawals of money from the victim's bank account without his authorization, so that the woman's savings, of 78,000 euros, remained at 1,200 euros.

He also appropriated jewelry that the old woman kept in her home, in a safe. In addition, in circumstances that are still being investigated, the man managed to get the victim to make a will in his favor last October, making him the universal heir to his assets.

The Police detained the suspect and carried out a search of his houses, where jewelry worth 90,000 euros and 60,000 euros in cash were recovered, allegedly stolen from the woman. The proceedings were made available to the trial court 12 of Malaga.

The resignation of Carlos Flores to form part of the new Valencian Government has more to do than the sacrifice accepted by Santiago Abascal before the PP veto for the conviction for mistreatment of his ex-wife. It has smoothed the government agreement for the Generalitat between the Popular Party and Vox, but it allows the next Valencian president, the conservative Carlos Mazón, to clear Madrid of what was surely the most threatening profile from a political point of view as a possible vice president of Vox in your government.

The popular and the ultra-conservatives have closed a “principle of agreement” by which the portfolios of the new regional Executive will be distributed proportionally (four to one, if it is in seats) to their results on May 28. They will be less than the 12 ministries with which the Botanical Government chaired by the socialist Ximo Puig is saying goodbye. Little else has come out of this distribution of power, beyond the fact that it arises from a negotiation scheme similar to that of Castilla y León: presidency of the Cortes for Vox (still unnamed), president of the Generalitat for the PP (Mazón). There is speculation about a possible transfer of Agriculture and Social Welfare. It is unknown if there will be a vice presidency.

PP and Vox released an identical statement with what will be the five lines of programmatic work and government structure. This is how it is expressed literally: “1) Freedom, so that we can all choose. 2) Economic development, to reduce unnecessary spending and boost the economy. 3) Health and social services, to strengthen public health and social services. 4) Signs of identity, to defend and recover our signs of identity. 5) Support for families, to promote the birth rate, security and promotion of families”.

There was not much more detail, although Flores did add a reference to the field of educational choice in the “freedom” section, which anticipates possible changes in teaching policies, both in the choice of centers and in the vehicular language (now there is a model multilingual). There was no reference to the most thorny issues, those that can generate more political and social fires, such as policies against gender violence, historical memory or the relationship with unions..

The two parties have been summoned to create working groups in the coming days to land the first government measures that Carlos Mazón will present at his inauguration and the distribution of power. “It will be a government with fewer ministers, fewer advisers and senior officials, less taxes, fewer health waiting lists and the reaffirmation of the Valencian identity signs,” said the PPCV campaign director and member of the negotiating commission, Miguel Barrachina.

The agreement and the departure of Flores, to which the provincial president of Vox, Ignacio Gil Lázaro, has had to cede the head of the list for Valencia, allows Mazón to accelerate his investiture. Everything indicates that, given the legal imperative of having to formalize the electoral lists for July 23 this very week, Vox wanted to quickly start a written minimum agreement in exchange for removing from the board what was its candidate for the Generalitat.

On June 26, the new Cortes will be constituted. Vox has reserved the presidency, a position for which there are still no names on the table. It is known that his gender will mark that of the rest of the Table, because he conforms to a zipper. If Vox chooses a woman, the PP will have to designate men for the first vice presidency and secretary. The PSPV-PSOE may designate women for the second. If the person chosen to direct the Chamber is a man, the sequence is reversed, according to Valencian legislation.

Once the Parliament is constituted, Mazón has 12 working days to present his candidacy for the Presidency of the Generalitat. Once this procedure has been carried out, the Board may indicate the investiture plan between three and seven days after. Once the government program is exposed, the rest of the groups can expose their positions in less than 24 hours. From there, the president or president of the Chamber will set the voting time. The forecast of the popular was to celebrate the investiture between July 17 and 21, although it remains to be seen if the agreement with Vox accelerates and allows the date to be brought forward. At full throttle, Mazón could be elected president between July 3 and 7, before even formally starting the electoral campaign of the general elections.

The University of Cantabria (UC) has already adopted a solution to compensate the grades of the group of students who took the Spanish Language and Literature exams at the EBAU with less time than the others, which were 272 in total, and who will be given an additional score.

After errors were detected in the tests for this subject -as also happened in the Latin and History of Spain tests-, the coordinators decided to give the students an extra half hour to make up for the time it took to correct them.. However, the measure did not reach all the classrooms, and these almost three hundred students did not have the two hours that the rest of the Cantabrians who presented themselves to the EBAU -some 3,000- had in total..

This happened to 23 students from a group that took the exam at the Official School of Languages (EOI) in Torrelavega and another 4 who did so in San Vicente de la Barquera, who were not given that extra half hour and therefore had to to do the test in 90 minutes. In addition, another 245 students who took the tests at the EOI in Laredo were given an additional 20 minutes instead of 30, so they had 110 minutes instead of 120, as reported by the University of Cantabria (UC)..

An off topic exercise

Specifically, the error in the Language and Literature test was that the exercise was based on a text that did not fit into the syllabus to be studied, so it had to be changed for another at the time of the exam.. The UC Vice Chancellor for Students and Employment, Marta García Lastra, advanced last Friday that the solutions had already been given to all the errors found in the exams, although it remained to be decided how to compensate the students who had not had this measure of 30 additional minutes in Language.

Now, the Organizing Commission of the EBAU, formed by the UC and the Ministry of Education and which met on Friday to discuss solutions, already has these measures to apply to these 272 affected students, which consist of increasing the grade obtained with a score additional.

For this, the Commission gives two options, and the one that gives the highest score must be applied.. The first consists of adding the difference between the average grade obtained in Language by students who have had 120 minutes and the average of students who have had 90 or 110, in each case; and the second to multiply the mark obtained by each student in the exercise of this matter by the proportional part of the exam time not taken. In any case, the total score may not exceed 10 points.

Agents of the Civil Guard have arrested a person in Los Barrios (Cádiz) as the alleged perpetrator of the theft of 28,000 euros from a 69-year-old woman. The detainee had been hired to carry out a reform in the victim's home, where he stole the money from his life savings.

As explained by the Civil Guard in a note, after the robbery was reported, the agents focused the investigation on a person who had been hired to carry out a reform in the home, a circumstance that he took advantage of to obtain a copy of the key the house, whose lock he had replaced himself as part of the reform.

After the numerous inquiries carried out, the agents located in a storage room, to which only the perpetrator had access, a bag containing the full amount of the 28,000 euros stolen, for which he was arrested as the alleged perpetrator. of a crime of robbery with force.

In Spain there was only one person who did not expect the results of the left in the municipal and regional elections not too long ago: Pedro Sánchez. The President of the Government seemed to be the only one who believed the surveys published by the CIS.

The subsequent and very rapid call for elections has meant that Sánchez has once again been labeled a fine strategist. But for Alberto Olmos, Sánchez “is not a strategist, if anything he has been very lucky”. About the elections, voting badly and the catastrophe of the left that we did see coming turns the new episode of The most hated, the podcast of El Confidencial in which Alberto Olmos and Juan Soto Ivars talk about their things and that you can listen to for free by clicking click here or on Ivoox, Spotify or Apple Podcast.

“The vote against Sánchez has been decided for months. People one day saw a news story and already decided that they would not vote for him,” explains Olmos, while Soto Ivars is surprised: “If the left-wing parties say that the media manipulates their voters, they are already considering them quite manipulable people.”.
