There are two extensions and it is foreseeable that more will be claimed. First in September and then in October, the State asked the European Court of Human Rights for adjournments to respond to the list of questions posed to it by the Strasbourg-based body, after admitting to processing the appeals of two of those convicted of the process against the Supreme Court ruling imposing sentences of up to 13 years in prison. The new deadline is met on November 6 and legal sources consulted predict that more time will be requested again..

Strasbourg's move puts the Government in a bind: it will now have to indicate whether it supports the interpretation made by the high court of the facts linked to the 1-O referendum and its conviction for sedition and embezzlement. This happens in full conversations with Junts and ERC ahead of the investiture of Pedro Sánchez. The worst time to make assessments that may go down badly with the pro-independence parties, but also to position oneself on their side and in front of the Supreme Court. Strasbourg investigates, specifically, the position of Spain – represented by the State Attorney's Office – regarding the allegations of those affected who claim that they were subjected to violations of their fundamental rights..

The deadline given to the State refers on this occasion to the resources of Jordi Turull and Jordi Sànchez, in the lawsuit they presented, through the lawyer Jordi Pina, in June 2020.. As El Nacional recalled, the State Attorney's Office has been arguing that in order to assess the facts, it requires that the courts involved provide “supporting evidence” that it does not yet have.. In addition, he referred to the complexity of the case and the need to complete a series of “internal searches”, still in process..

This same week, the State has also requested the extension of its conclusions in a third case, that of the former vice president of the Parliamentary Committee, Josep Costa, who also appealed to the court specialized in rights.. In its case, the extension of the step will be extended until November 30, so the red line of the investiture of Jordi Sánchez is saved..

The melon

The biggest melon is the one that the Government faces in the face of the last of the appeals, admitted by the ECtHR, which affects all the nine politicians condemned by the Supreme Court.. In this case, Strasbourg sent a list of issues to clarify. As reflected in the Strasbourg resolution, to which El Confidencial has had access, the court wants to know, specifically, what the State's opinion is on the version of the convicted persons, who have alleged that they saw a violation of Article 7 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which establishes that “no one may be condemned for an action or omission that, at the time it was committed, does not constitute an infraction according to national or international law” and that contemplates that “a penalty may not be imposed” more serious than that applicable at the time the infringement was committed.”.

The court requires answers to several questions. Among them, it asks whether the Kingdom of Spain believes that the TS made an “unforeseeable or expansive interpretation of the crime of sedition and/or embezzlement of funds contrary to article 7 of the European Convention on human rights.”. He also wants to know Spain's opinion on other statements by the independence leaders.. They also alleged that their right to freedom of expression and assembly was violated because they limited themselves to encouraging the population “to participate in demonstrations in defense of the independence process and to participate in a referendum on the independence of Catalonia.”. “Have the applicants been convicted for a legitimate exercise of their rights to freedom of association and expression, in violation of Article 10 and/or Article 11 of the Convention?” Strasbourg asks.

Others of those convicted also complained that their imprisonment was disproportionate, that the process to which they were subjected was not equitable and that their political rights were violated.. For this reason, the ECtHR asks if the Spanish State shares this vision and its right to freedom and security was violated or it was not done and they demand clarifications on the other points..

Last February the Supreme Court reviewed the sentences of the nine convicted as a result of the penal reform that eliminated the crime of sedition and modified that of embezzlement.. This review was limited to disqualification sentences because prison sentences were pardoned by the Government in 2021.. In the case of Junqueras, the TS agreed to maintain the sentence of 13 years of disqualification, which means that he will not be able to aspire to any public office until 2031, by changing the crime of sedition to that of disobedience and maintaining the crime of embezzlement..

For Romeva, Turull and Bassa, it was considered pertinent to maintain the disqualification penalties for disobedience and embezzlement, ruling out a reduction in sentences by maintaining this last crime in its aggravated modality, with which they will remain disqualified until 2030.. For its part, the court convicted Sànchez and Cuixart for public disorder and Forcadell, Rull and Forn for disobedience.. In their cases, this change in crimes meant the total extinction of their respective disqualification sentences..

The Mallorcan rapper Josep Miquel Arenas, known as Valtonyc, said this Saturday that he is returning to Spain after six years abroad: “Coming back is always the best part of the adventure”.

He announced this in a message on social network X collected by Europa Press, in which he also attached three photographs with the former president of the Generalitat, Carles Puigdemont.. “Thank you for having accompanied me during these six years of exile and now also on this first journey back home. For everything we have fought, laughed, lived and cried. Thank you, 'president”, he added.

For his part, the former president of the Generalitat wished him a “good return”. “Have a good return to your land, which is ours.”. With you, Valtonyc, we all come back a little,” he wrote on the same social network.. “Thank you for resisting an unjust exile and accompanying us without ever giving up.”. “It has been an honor to share this journey,” added Puigdemont..

The rapper was convicted in Spain for a crime of threats, glorification of terrorism and insults to the Crown for some songs written in 2012 and fled to Belgium, where several Catalan independence leaders, such as Puigdemont, were also found.

The Torrelodones house that Juan Muñoz and Cristina Iglesias used as their headquarters during the eighties, bringing some of the most relevant figures of international art, today continues to have a wonderful life.

“It is the house in which I grew up,” says Lucia Muñoz, daughter of the artist and the person who manages the legacy of the Madrid native, who died two decades ago in Ibiza.. Now it is her mother's studio and the office that she uses to publicize the work of one of the most relevant figures on the national scene.. “We continue to go there every day to work. “What was my father's physical studio is now the Estate office.”.

For her daughter, the importance of Torrelodones is fundamental, “because they were very interested in making this place an international hub”. It was a time when there was enormous international interest in seeing what was happening in Spain, “they made their house a place to invite all their international artist friends and that was very powerful”.

The CA2M exhibition, In the Violet Hour, which can be seen until the beginning of January, commemorates the seventy years since the birth of the Madrid artist, one of the most important of the eighties and nineties. “In a dazzling career from his first exhibition in 1984 until his premature death at 48 years of age. The exhibition covers its first decade of history until 1990”, indicates from the art center. Its title, In the Violet Hour, is verse 220 of The Waste Land of T. S. Eliot, one of the artist's favorite poems: “The evening hour that leads home, and brings home the sailor”.

An international artist

For the curator of the exhibition, Ana Ara, Juan Muñoz was a Spanish artist who also connected with the tastes of the moment on an international level.. “Beyond his technical ability, he seems to me to be a person who knew how to generate universal scenographic moments, put you in front of an object as simple as a handrail and create different approaches”.

“Although that first exhibition was not a sales success, it was a success for critics,” he points out.. He will then exhibit in the Aperto section of the Venice Biennale and at CAPC in Bordeaux. “It is there that his career – with the support of great commissioners from northern Europe such as Rudy Fuchs, Jan Hoet or Chris Dercon – acquires dazzling international weight”.

Theatricalization

Muñoz's work makes the viewer relate in a very intimate, and at the same time very disturbing, way with the object.. “And that goes beyond contemplating a purely aesthetic work, I feel you in a more relational way,” Ara agrees..

For her daughter there is something fundamental in Muñoz's work: theatricality and narration. “He once defined himself as a storyteller and I think his ability to construct scenes is very unique,” he says.. “And she was also a very pioneer in her time”. On the other hand, in his pieces, when one approaches them, there is a kind of suspension of time. “It's that constant duality, like between laughter and sadness, between the familiar and the uncomfortable,” he says.. “He said that when you arrived at one of his facilities, it could appear that something had happened before or that it could happen after you left.”.

There are three reasons that show great interest in his art in Spain in the eighties: recovering the human figure for statuary, experimenting with the emotional repertoire of the exhibition and raising a reflection on the theatrical possibilities of the installation.

Incommunication

And Lucía Muñoz insists on the human condition of her father's work. “That makes his speech timeless. I believe that when you come to talk about these essential questions of the human condition, the work not only lasts, but also finds ways to communicate and dialogue with contemporary problems and languages,” he develops.. It makes the works contemporary and current, in this way people get “their current problems to talk to them”.

Lack of communication, so associated with our present, is one of the values that his pieces best represent.. “The exhibition is conceived as a circulating story in an enchanted museum, a house of art taken by a rhythmic absence, by a recognition of an inevitable spectrality,” comments from the museum institution.. And the curator relates how “the first and last pieces in this exhibition are portraits without figures and sleight of hand tricks designed to make the magician, the artist, disappear.”. Juan Muñoz, like a sorcerer, like a magician, like someone who does magic tricks.

On the afternoon of Sunday, August 16, the American legend Lee Fields gathered 300 soul lovers at 16 Toneladas Rock Club, an enclave located in the Tendetes neighborhood, in Valencia.. In a ghost town for indoor summer concerts, the venue's owners interrupted their vacation and raised the blinds to offer the tour promoter a space suitable for the North Carolina singer's dates..

Two days before, the Medusa festival, in Cullera, closed its edition with 300,000 attendees. Somewhat later, the Rototom Festival began in Benicàssim, which would end a week later with figures of 220,000 spectators.. Beyond the figures, inflated year after year by macro festivals, which count the buyer of a three-day pass as one and three to increase the amount of public subsidies, the reality of the native music industry shows that the music business last decade is a trench fight for the halls of the Valencian territory.

On October 14, the live performances of Love to Rock put the final point in the Valencian Community to a festival season opened on April 6 by the SanSan Festival. Now that the seasonal and environmental summers travel through different paths, the macro-festival season does adjust to climate change by taking advantage of this seven-month period with high temperatures.. The turbocapitalism of smart bracelet and plastic cup knows the formula for adaptation to global warming. During the next six months, international and national tours and Valencian groups will stop, mostly, in venues that maintain a stable monthly schedule.. In December 2022, the Valencian Association of Live Music Venues (En-Viu!) received the Honor Award at the Carles Santos Awards for Valencian Music, organized by the Valencian Institute of Culture, dependent on the Department of Culture and Sport. An award for the resistance of the grassroots productive fabric.

Fran Bordonado is president of EnViu! and directs the Euterpe room, located in San Juan de Alicante. The entity brings together twenty venues in Castellón, Valencia and Alicante where concerts are regularly scheduled throughout the year, ranging from spaces for eighty people, such as El Volander, to venues for 1,500 spectators, such as Repvblicca.. “We have noticed the recovery of the public after the atrocious pandemic break and the fear of closed theaters. We are approaching the numbers of 2019 and the attendees have returned to the natural space of the concerts. The regulations and legislation of the eighties on concert halls qualified us as musical entertainers, but not as cultural agents.. During the pandemic, with the rooms closed and more time for office work, we took the opportunity to promote negotiations with the administration and reverse this situation. We needed to be recognized as creators of culture, in the same way as theaters and auditoriums. The entertainment law was modified to include us as spaces with stable and quality programming, with the ability to professionally work on culture.”.

The vast majority of musical careers that achieve a certain popular recognition are cut in these intimate enclaves during their beginnings.. Rosalía performed before one hundred people in Las Naves del Grao in Valencia. Rozalén in front of fifty in Benimaclet's KafCafé. Mr Kilombo gathered twenty attendees at the Euterpe, and Izal two hundred in the Matisse del Cedro room.. The national anomaly is the divine work of Íñigo Quintero's entourage: only a few can invest tens of thousands of euros in turning a white gospel into viral meat for TikTok or Spotify, and baptize it a day later at the Wizink Center before 15,000 listeners. “Without concert halls the chain of the musical process is broken. An artist does not usually go from rehearsal spaces to festivals or large venues without stepping into the country's small and medium-sized venues.. The value chain is structured through the complexity of various capacities through which the musical careers of the groups pass.. Programmers are also talent prescribers,” says Bordonado..

The shock plan of the Generalitat Valenciana to support culture during the pandemic allowed the survival of a good part of these venues. Already in 2017 they were included as beneficiaries of Musical Promotion subsidies. “We advocate that this remain active, regardless of the political position of the Consell, since it is sectoral aid and we are essential for the economic growth of the territory,” says the businessman, “we need that annual support to continue betting on new musical talent, both Valencian and national. We are not foreign investment funds or large companies, but rather small entrepreneurs and self-employed people who believe in the work done.. “We fight to passionately support music and our scene.”.

More than 100 days after the formation of the new government of the Generalitat, after a non-working August and a September of searching for new positions in the Department of Culture of Vice President Vicente Barrera, changes in approach and staff dismissals are coming at the Institut Valencià of Culture. “Whenever a major political change occurs, a certain uncertainty appears, because we have deadlines to meet and lines of work, like all professional sectors of the Valencian economy.. Last week we had a sectoral meeting of music, theaters, performers, writers and others, with Paula Añó and Sergio Arlandis – Autonomous Secretary of Culture and General Director of Culture of the Generalitat Valenciana – where they informed us of their willingness to continue contact with everyone the interlocutors of the professional associations, who are open to listening to proposals and working together”, concludes the president of the Valencian Association of Live Music Venues.

Socialist summit in Ferraz. Today we will know if the federal committee, repository of the will of the militancy, is an organ of debate or agreement. Which brings us to a fundamental problem.. That of representativeness. It affects Pedro Sánchez, but also Puigdemont and Feijóo, the three first actors in this very rare moment in national politics..

I explain:

The Waterloo fugitive has been left stranded by his followers. It is worth asking who the “president of the Generalitat in exile” represents when 95% of the 90,841 people adhered to the so-called Consell de la República stand out in two recent consultations. One of them asked them whether or not the independence movement should intervene in the governance of the State.. However, this absurd character, without any official position in the structure of his party, shepherds the seven Junts deputies who are decisive in the investiture of the president of the Government..

I blame Feijóo on the lack of representativeness of the main operators of the “amnesty by investiture” mess for his strange whitewashing of the Waterloo fugitive against the feelings of the 8 million PP voters, who five minutes before shouted in the street “Puigdemont , to prison!”. I would never have imagined that this father of a family, full of common sense, would find “respectable” one of the figures least worthy of respect in the national political fauna..

We have been plagued by the tendency to chaos since the count on July 23. If Pilar Rahola's furious anti-Spanishism whitens Tejero, as long as he serves to attack the king of Spain, why couldn't Feijóo sing the moral deeds of someone who “never lies”, unlike others (that is…) , although “it would be convenient for him to settle his debts with justice”?

If the leader of the PP breaks the waist of his voters, Sánchez breaks that of his by opposing the provisions on Catalonia. Here it is worth asking if Sánchez was more representative when he assumed the current mandate: “Greater deepening of the State of Autonomies” as a way out of the so-called Catalan conflict (point 1957 of the framework presentation of the 40th Congress). Or it is now, when demands contrary to the Constitution are secretly negotiated as elements exchangeable for support in the upcoming investiture vote..

We do not know because since July 23, which is the date of the script change, there has been no statement from the militancy or its main representative body.. Not only that, it is that an unprecedented “diktat” of silence has been imposed on the dealings with the independentists in a party that has always passionately professed its faith in freedom of expression inside and outside its centenary party..

In this case, we will see if the meeting of the federal committee responds to the statutory commitment to be an “open and transparent” organization.. The framework paper approved at the last congress says that “our first obligation is to be a more transparent training and to have a quality internal debate”.

Can anyone seriously maintain that the progress in the PSOE's dealings with the nationalists takes place in the midst of an “internal and quality debate” when its deputies, senators, ministers, major and minor leaders strictly follow the oppressive slogan of silence?

Sánchez says that the militants will be consulted. Just to find out if they support your effort to reach governance pacts. Not to know how far the PSOE can go in the price to pay in exchange for the agreement. The amnesty would not even be named in the announced consultation. But it is what everyone talks about and what, as García Page has said, what the federal committee convened for 10:30 this Saturday must also talk about.

That is, he will speak. And that Sánchez will stick to the iron slogan: “Discretion in negotiations, transparency in agreements”. I would be surprised by a different outcome because we are facing a pocket parliament for Sánchez. From your exclusive invoice and your entire service. Nothing to do with its formalized character as a management body that defines the party's policy and, by mandate of the congress, “examines, debates and judges” the management of the general secretary's team.. And, attention, also that of the Government of the Nation (“and its legislative development”). That is why I fear that today's socialist summit will end up being a sample of Sánchez's plebiscitary representativeness in his plans to screw the Moncloa. Not from the will of the militancy.

Andalusia shows its most business-friendly side precisely in the week in which the coalition that supports the central Government, PSOE and Sumar, has presented an investiture pact that includes measures that have been considered by the employers' association as a direct attack against the interests of businessmen.

The president of the Board, Juanma Moreno, conveyed that message to the King on Thursday at the congress of the Spanish Confederation of Directors and Executives (CEDE) that was held in Granada, and in which he boasted of political security in Andalusia (with four years of absolute majority) and legal certainty, in the face of current uncertainty at the national level.

And this Friday, the head of the regional government once again demonstrated this closeness with the employers' association by presiding over the events of Business Day at the headquarters of the Confederation of Entrepreneurs of Andalusia (CEA), a day that the Andalusian Government itself promoted and The regional Parliament unanimously approved last year.

On this occasion, Moreno stressed that in the face of the “strange situation” that the world is experiencing at the moment and the “instability and uncertainty” of national politics, “Andalusia wants to provide stability and certainty” and has “reasons for hope.” and the trust”.

The Andalusian president boasted of good personal and institutional harmony with the president of the CEA, Javier González de Lara, and of social peace in Andalusia, in an act in which the employers' association had a very special gesture with the unions, by granting them this year their distinctions that were collected by the general secretaries of CC.OO.-A and UGT-A, Nuria López and Oskar Martín, respectively.

Based on the idea that “without companies there is no future,” Business Day brought together more than 300 guests at the CEA headquarters, which highlighted the “essential contribution of the thousands of men and women who do business in Andalusia.” , where around 545,000 companies operate, representing 16% of the country's total. “The majority, around 95%, are SMEs and self-employed workers.”. Together with large driving companies, which champion the “Andalusia brand” in international markets, – more than 25,000 Andalusian companies export -, they generate employment and fix the population to the territory..

The current national political situation impregnated this act with a certain shared demand of the Board and the businessmen, in some cases hidden and in others, expressed openly.. This is the case of the claim for the change in the regional financing model, which represents a clear detriment to underfinanced communities such as Andalusia, Valencia, Murcia and Castilla La Mancha..

Likewise, González de Lara did not expressly cite the Círculo de Empresarios de Catalunya, which this week was in favor of the amnesty demanded by the independentists, but he addressed the president of the Board directly to tell him that “be aware of our support and commitment to equality between all Spaniards and all companies, and our firmness to defend that equality where necessary”.

Juanma Moreno also referred to this issue and regretted that “communities with a specific weight in the country want to take advantage of a political situation to assert that weight in the form of privileges, as has happened in the last 50 years.”. Faced with this, he recalled that he will not allow these privileges between territories.

The Andalusian president announced that, for the second consecutive year, the regional Government will allocate more than 6,000 million euros in the Budgets for 2024 to support the productive fabric, which represents almost 3% of GDP, with the aim of consolidating and help those who maintain and create jobs. “Without a productive fabric there is no employment and without employment there is no personal, family or society future,”

Thus, it influenced the Andalusian Executive's commitment to companies and the self-employed, a commitment that is included in the Budget project for next year, which exceeds 46.7 billion, with 5.5% more non-financial spending compared to to the previous year. Furthermore, he stated that “we have the challenge ahead of us to make Andalusia one of the autonomous communities and one of the territories in Europe that have a greater entrepreneurial mentality”, since, as he said, “a society with entrepreneurial capacity has more companies and advances and prospers much more than the others”.

Finally, the president of the CEA, which brings together 180,000 companies and 800 business organizations in Andalusia, insisted on his demand for greater administrative simplification to allow the creation of wealth and jobs, to which Moreno responded by reminding that the Board will soon approve a fourth decree that will cut even more procedures for setting up companies and attracting investments. The celebration has grown this year thanks to its extension to classrooms throughout Andalusia, in accordance with the instructions of the Ministry of Educational Development and Vocational Training to the ESO, Baccalaureate and FP educational centers in the region.. An advance in the commitment to Entrepreneurial Culture from the Administration and the field of Education, in which CEA has provided teaching material; Support resources for teachers and students of 3rd ESO.

As the moment of truth approaches, the mood in the socialist ranks is changing. Although the acting president has always stated emphatically that there will be an investiture, and that has not changed, the security that is transmitted from the main parties about the result of the vote is decreasing. The independence supporters are cooling their enthusiasm this week and affirm, as Josep Martí says, that the “agreement is very difficult”.

Negotiating processes are difficult to read, since the information transmitted is often ambiguous.. When you want to stretch the rope, you threaten to break it, and when you want to break it, you do it too.. So the tensions that are being perceived these days may be nothing more than part of the agreement process or signs that everything is going wrong..

In any case, what socialist sources affirm is that the most probable date for the investiture will be in the week that begins November 13, so there is still time to iron out rough edges..

Agreement at the core

These are of two orders. The first is with the independentistas, both Junts and ERC, who have different positions and interests. Socialist sources indicate that, after the new government takes office, a bill will be put into effect, drafted from a text that would be its core, and on which all parties would already agree.. It contains the general terms of the future law, the cases that are contemplated and who it could affect.. It will be worded in a way to which the Constitutional Court would find no objections..

The disagreement is in the preamble of the law. The PSOE intends to focus on pragmatic terms, enforce a technical amnesty and turn the page. Junts intends a review of the recent past in which a kind of request for forgiveness from the State appears for its actions after 1-O, to which the socialists are not willing..

The second complicated aspect focuses on Puigdemont and the type of amnesty he would receive. A triumphant return would be quite complicated to handle, and even more so if he had the option of running as a candidate in the Catalan elections.. This possibility would bother ERC greatly, to the extent that Junqueras is disqualified.. The solution would be for Puigdemont to pay a price, even if it was symbolic, and that has yet to be decided..

Tensions with Podemos

Socialist distrust also appears regarding Podemos. The distribution of power and positions that Díaz carries out in Sumar when the time comes, seems to have Nacho Álvarez as a fixed figure, which will leave those of Belarra and Montero without relevant positions. The temptation to rebel, in case they anticipate that they will not have a presence in the government, and vote against in the investiture is considered unlikely by the socialists, but not impossible.. They also understand that Yolanda Díaz does not know how to handle these situations with ease and that the noise within Sumar will increase in the dates prior to the investiture.. We must give space and positions to Más Madrid, the common ones, IU and Podemos, and the last two seem like they will get very little.

However, the significance of these last-minute tensions comes from an emotional factor much more than from rational elements.. The feeling they continually convey is that there will be an agreement, but that everything is subject to a possible last-minute rupture if the irrational components, both of Junts and Podemos, make an appearance, although denying Sánchez the investiture goes against their own interests.

In these circumstances, it is advisable to pay attention to the most realistic aspects. If Junts decides not to invest Sánchez, it would lose more than the PSOE; This could be left without a government, but Puigdemont could lose his freedom, and many of his people could find themselves in complicated situations due to the pending sanctions.. In addition, they also risk losing their vote if they are identified as the only ones responsible for the electoral repetition..

Something worse happens to Podemos. If Sánchez were not president because of him, that is, if all the parties in the coalition voted in favor and it was Montero's party that brought down the government, the electoral repetition would be catastrophic for them. It is much more likely that the break with Sumar will come after the inauguration than before.

There is still time for the vote, so tensions, misinformation and perceptions will have to be managed for some time.

Renfe will offer more than 2.8 million seats on its AVE, Avlo, Alvia, Euromed, Intercity, Avant and Regional trains to travel from this Friday until next Sunday, November 5, coinciding with the November 1 holiday..

Given the growing demand from travelers during these ten days, the company has increased the usual offer on the most popular lines, especially in movements between Madrid and the north of the country, the south and the Valencian Community.

Renfe has increased its offer of seats compared to the usual ones, with Sunday the 5th being the day with the most reinforcements for the return operation, followed by Friday the 27th with the departure operation..

To the almost 970,000 seats on AVE, Avlo, Alvia, Euromed and Intercity trains, conventional Medium Distance public service trains will be added, with nearly 1.9 million seats between Avant and Regional trains, facilitating the mobility of travelers. in these ten days.

The Spanish Confederation of Bus Transport (Confebús) has also announced that companies dedicated to this means of transport will also reinforce their services from this weekend until next Wednesday..

During the next few days, the urban services that connect the cities with the cemeteries will also be reinforced, becoming, according to the employers' association, “the best alternative to avoid traffic jams and parking problems that happen every year coinciding with the celebration of Memorial Day. All Saints”.

The Basauri Local Police have arrested and brought to justice a 57-year-old man, who is accused of several alleged crimes of sexual assault, hate, breaking and entering, injuries and threats allegedly committed against another male.

As reported by the Basauri City Council, this past Thursday morning the Local Police received a call from a person reporting that the person who rented his room had just attacked him and that last week he had already filed a complaint against him for similar facts.

When they were at the scene and observed that the caller had minor injuries, and did not report any fact other than the assault suffered, the agents accompanied him to the outpatient clinic to treat him and provide him with an injury report, in order to file report about it as soon as you leave the medical center.

Once he appeared at the police station, and while he was narrating the events that had occurred, the agents who were collecting the complaint detected that, in addition to the criminal offenses expressed at first, there had been others that violated sexual freedom, against the personal condition and against the privacy of the complainant. For all these reasons, the author of the events was arrested, who has a record of sexual assault..

Pedro Sánchez, acting President of the Government, announced this Friday in Brussels that the PSOE will include in its consultation with the militancy regarding the Government agreement reached with Sumar a question to find out if the bases support negotiating with other political formations to achieve the majority necessary for the investiture, although this question will not include any details about the possible agreements with Junts per Catalunya and Esquerra Republicana. Sánchez has argued that the negotiation requires discretion and that in said consultation it would not be possible to go into the details of all the negotiations to achieve the parliamentary majority..

The socialist leader has indicated that in 2019 it was already established that the consultation would deal only with whether the militancy supports the agreement with the parties that will be part of the Council of Ministers, but not the pacts with the rest of the political formations of the majority. parliamentary. However, Sánchez explained that this time a question will be included to know if the militancy “endorses” these parliamentary agreements, without mentioning the amnesty demanded by Junts and ERC.. With the support of the militancy for the blind negotiation, without knowing the exact conditions, although knowing that the socialist leader has already admitted that the amnesty is being negotiated, Sánchez will be able to argue that the militants bless the agreements necessary to obtain the majority.

“We cannot go into more detail,” Sánchez defended, explaining that the negotiations are taking place with Junt, ERC, Bildu, BNG, PNV and the Canarian Coalition, and that he cannot include all the details of said negotiations in the consultation.. But “we did incorporate this second part that was not included in 2019 so that we can all position ourselves on whether or not we agree on reaching that parliamentary majority that allows an investiture,” he said during a press conference after finishing a European summit in in which the heads of State and Government have addressed the situation in the Middle East, the migratory crisis or the review of the Multiannual Financial Framework of the European Union.

“Why do we formulate it in these terms? First, because we want the militancy to actually speak out on the parliamentary agreements we have with the rest of the political forces and secondly, because we cannot go into more detail, because obviously we are in that negotiation process not only with Junts per Catalunya “, with Esquerra Republicana, but also with the Basque Nationalist Party, with the Galician National Bloc, with Bildu or also with the Canarian Coalition,” said Sánchez, explaining why they do not detail the content of the possible agreements with these forces..

Asked about the opinion expressed by Emiliano García-Page, president of Castilla-La Mancha, who has been against the amnesty, Sánchez responded that “the party is going to speak.”. “The Socialist Party is going to speak. And he's going to talk like he usually does. We are a democratic organization. I am not going to say that we are the most democratic organization in the Spanish political system, but almost. We are. Because there is debate, both inside and outside the bodies of the Socialist Party,” he assured..

“I have the confidence, furthermore, the absolute and resounding confidence, because I have spoken with many of the cadres of the Socialist Party, that the support is going to be very important,” added the President of the Government, who in any case has expressed that “The members of the Socialist Party can express themselves, as it could not be otherwise, freely and with all the respect of the Federal Executive Commission and, of course, the general secretary”.

Sánchez, who once again recalled the axes on which the agreement with Sumar revolves, has placed special emphasis on the idea of coexistence and “the normalization of the political situation in Catalonia”. “What we do will always be consistent with what we have been doing over the last five years.”. And I also believe that the results are there. Today Catalonia's situation has nothing to do with what we inherited in 2018,” he concluded..
