The body of a man was found this morning in a well in Jumilla (Murcia), as informed to EFE by the Civil Guard, which has opened an investigation into a case in which the judge has ordered the secrecy of the summary, therefore further details are unknown.

The Group of Specialists in Underwater Activities (GEAS) of the Civil Guard was in charge of recovering the body from the cistern, which has been taken to the Forensic Anatomical Institute.

According to what the Murcia newspaper La Opinión has published, it could be the migrant from Mali reported missing on September 2, Diakina Fofana, 43 years old and 1.74 tall, whose car appeared in the municipal area..

• Keys to the Government agreement between PSOE and Sumar: reduce the working day to 37.5 hours or limit flights
• PSOE and Sumar open a legal mess with their corporate tax proposal

Shall we say goodbye to short flights? PSOE and Sumar have closed this Tuesday, October 24, a programmatic agreement to form a coalition government after in the last hours their leaders, Pedro Sánchez and Yolanda Díaz, have closed the details of the pact. This agreement includes some measures such as the reduction of the working day to 37.5 hours per week without reduction in salary, the increase in the SMI or the regulation of dismissal..

Thus, it also contemplates a commitment that has caught the attention of citizens and has sparked controversy: the reduction of short national flights in the event that there is an alternative by train of less than two and a half hours, except in cases of connection. with airports that connect with international routes. The objective is to reduce CO₂ emissions caused by aviation, much greater than those caused by trains, a more ecological means of transport..

According to calculations by Ecologistas en Acción, in Spain around 50,000 short flights can be eliminated annually from 11 air routes that have train connections of less than four hours.. In this way, between 30% and 40% of the emissions of domestic peninsular flights and close to 10% of the emissions of all air transport in Spain could be saved.. In total, it is estimated that this measure would save more than 300,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year, according to this study.

Candidate routes to disappear

Although the acting Government has not specified which routes would be affected, the document prepared by the environmental group details which are the plane routes that currently have at least four daily frequencies in each direction and that could be replaced by train trips. less than four hours:

• Alicante–Madrid / Madrid–Alicante
• Barcelona–Madrid / Madrid–Barcelona
• Barcelona–Valencia / Valencia–Barcelona
• Madrid–Málaga / Málaga–Madrid
• Madrid–Pamplona / Pamplona–Madrid
• Madrid–Santiago de Compostela / Santiago de Compostela–Madrid
• Madrid–Seville / Seville–Madrid
• Madrid–Valencia / Valencia–Madrid

Other candidates to disappear are routes with less than four daily frequencies:

• La Coruña–Madrid / Madrid–La Coruña
• Granada–Madrid / Madrid–Granada
• Logroño–Madrid / Madrid–Logroño

However, this project comes up against an issue that does not encourage the use of the train among the population, and that is that, in most cases, it is more expensive than using the plane.. Specifically, train tickets are twice as expensive in Europe as plane tickets on average, and up to four times more in Spain, according to a Greenpeace study.. The NGO highlights that citizens are encouraged to fly, favoring airlines and asks the European Union (EU) and national governments to encourage trains instead..

Getafe City Council and Community of Madrid discussing and the institute without building. That is what has happened for years in Los Molinos, the neighborhood of this city south of the capital that demands a school for secondary and high school.. With nearly 15,000 inhabitants, more than 400 young people must travel daily to other neighborhoods to be able to go to class.

Although the regional government rejected in September the plot that the City Council had given it for the construction of the institute in 2019, the City Council itself has already started the procedures to try a new location.. They demand that they accept the proposal and that the study center be built in three years.

Such is the struggle that has been going on in the neighborhood for years, that hundreds of people join the IES Los Molinos NOW Platform! Javier Torres is its spokesperson: “We are in a relatively young neighborhood, but it should already have an institute. The first homes are around 15 years old,” he begins his diatribe. The location of the neighborhood doesn't help much either.. Somewhat away from the heart of the city, on one side, they are surrounded by the Andalusia highway and on the other by the M-45.. “Communications have to be by car,” says this neighbor.

In any case, the Administration should have prevented what would happen years after the first home purchase. “The neighborhood was created through a consortium between the City Council and the Community as protected housing for young people, so they knew what would happen,” adds Torres.. Thus, the only school in Los Molinos is a school, and it does not cover the real demand of the neighborhood, according to what is explained by the Platform. But its construction was not easy either: “It took seven years to build it and now it is growing along lower lines,” says the spokesperson..

A “monster”

This school has four lines, that is, four classes per course. “We see a shortage of classrooms in the upper grades and, when the children finish Primary, they have to abandon it, because there is no institute in the neighborhood,” explains Torres himself.. Hence his particular claim, especially to leave behind the “monster”, as he calls it, that the regional Executive created with the school, to which part of the Secondary School has been added.. It is a provisional CEIPSO.

“Next year there will be no classrooms available. They have created this CEIPSO to save time and not build a proper institute, which is what we need, a center independent of the school,” explains this affected father.. The problem they face goes somewhat further, since the secondary education centers near Los Molinos are also saturated, some of them with up to 11 classes per year..

The struggle of hundreds of affected families has not begun in 2023. For at least six years, the school's AMPA works commission has held cyclical meetings with the Madrid Department of Education, and in all meetings they have received the institute's request. Things began to change, or so they thought, when in 2019 the Getafe City Council gave a plot of land to the Community. According to Torres, “what they had to do was receive her, admit her and start the process, but they had four years to do that, otherwise they would have to restart it.”.

New process

The Community of Madrid did not accept the transfer of the Getafense Town Hall, so there has been no progress in the last four years. The Ministry of Education, for its part, considers that “the plot initially offered by the City Council, located next to an industrial estate, was not the most suitable for locating an educational center.”. On the other hand, they prefer not to comment on why it took so long to deny the enclave.

Likewise, they report that at the end of September they accepted the proposal for the new plot that Getafe offered them.. “In this case it does meet the requirements of proximity to educational demand, urban planning, connection with the public network, transport, green areas, other facilities and with the consolidated residential urban planning that are appropriate for a better provision of the educational service. “adds the Ministry. They assure that they are waiting for the City Council to complete the transfer procedures to immediately put out to tender the drafting of the project for the new center.

Three years

The City Council, for its part, maintains that “it was not until September 2023, and at the insistence of the mayor, educational community and families, when the Community of Madrid decided that the transferred plot was not of its preference.”. In this way, the City Council once again offered four other plots in Los Molinos. The Ministry elected and the local Government Board approved it. “The Community once again has a public plot to build the IES, so Getafe requires the same speed for its acceptance, since the previous plot was not even received for four years,” they reiterate in a statement..

In any case, the City Council has transferred the plot only for three years “to avoid fraudulent use of public space by the regional government”. That is the time that the Government chaired by Isabel Díaz Ayuso has to build the long-awaited institute in Los Molinos, which would cover 15,000 families..

Constant works

Torres, for his part, remembers that in the last regional budgets there was already an allocation of 500,000 euros aimed at starting the construction of the institute. “With that money you don't build anything, it's just the drafting of the project, but they included it in the budgets to then throw back the first plot transferred,” says Torres in reference to the regional government, who calls the operation a “smokescreen.”.

The spokesperson himself has two affected children. One in Primary, who goes to school more normally than the second, who is already in Secondary: “Imagine, the oldest has spent his entire school life with construction, lack of classrooms and teachers and without having facilities that are legislated by the Community of Madrid as indispensable, such as a laboratory”, explains Torres.

For the moment, the IES Los Molinos NOW! Platform will continue working so that its young people are not considered “second-class students”, according to the group. “We want the Community of Madrid to have the real will to build the institute and not delay the procedures, as it has done until now. “Here there are children who go to a construction site, not to a school,” concludes Torres himself.

Ground zero of the drought in Spain is in the north of Córdoba. In April, Sierra Bollera was the first reservoir to dry up one hundred percent and, half a year later, the forecast is that it will remain empty in the coming months. Since then, it is prohibited to drink tap water in the 28 municipalities of Los Pedroches and El Guadiato and some 72,000 residents must fill their jugs from tanker trucks or buy bottled water.. According to the New York Times, which published a report on the problem a few days ago, it is the image of the “future of Spain”: “Where the water arrives by truck, not by the tap.”.

The origin of the problem is the lack of foresight and water infrastructure. The La Colada reservoir has a much greater capacity, but it had not been connected to the municipalities until now. For years, the surrounding livestock farms were contaminating an unused swamp. And in April, when Sierra Bollera ran out of water, water had to be pumped in desperation. The patch lasted a few weeks: the Ministry of Health ended up declaring the water from this swamp unfit for human consumption, with higher organic carbon values..

As a consequence, these people from Córdoba have been living for months in a situation typical of another era, with queues to collect water.. “The situation borders on the dramatic,” criticizes Miguel Aparicio, president of the United for Water platform, created this summer to combat the problem.. Every day, several tanker trucks travel through the towns in the area, where residents come with containers to collect drinking water.. Spending on supply companies already amounts to three million euros, although the Provincial Council is obliged to provide this service as an alternative to pollution.. “Mothers buy bottles and bathe their children with mineral water, according to what a pediatrician recommends,” says Aparicio..

The mayors have announced mobilizations and the higher administrations intend to find a solution as soon as possible.. In fact, yesterday the Government of Andalusia authorized an investment of 11 million euros to solve the supply of those 28 municipalities.. The works, declared of priority interest for the community, will allow water to be conveyed from the La Colada reservoir, now contaminated, to be filtered in Sierra Boyera, where the treatment plant, which will reinforce its capacity, will make the contaminated water drinkable.. In any case, the work will take more than 15 months to be completed..

The announcement comes a few days after the mayors of the 28 towns in the north of Córdoba, of different political colors, announced a “period of mobilizations” to demand urgent investments. The councilors ask to go one step further and give “absolute priority” to the connection with another reservoir, Puente Nuevo, with the Sierra Boyera water treatment plant.. The reinforcement would be, as they point out, a “guarantee of supply”. However, the Hydrographic Confederation believes that it would be a very complicated operation, which is why lower cost actions have always been chosen..

The Andalusian Government assures that, with the investment approved by the Government Council, starting next year these neighbors will be able to begin to see “the light at the end of the tunnel.”. The Provincial Council also started this week its shock plan to clean the water in the reservoir, which will also be financed with money from the Government of Andalusia.. These works could be completed in six months and will offer a short-term solution.

The neighbors, however, distrust these advertisements and fear that, if it rains, they will be forgotten.. Although they occupy an important territory in the province of Cordoba, they have one of the lowest population densities in Andalusia and the feeling that their claims are not taken into account.. In fact, the connection between the two reservoirs announced by the Board should have ended more than a decade ago, when the project was forgotten due to the economic crisis.. “We do not have enough population to put pressure”, summary from the association.

From the platform they also demand that the region's treatment plants be reinforced to stop discharges into the swamp and make better use of water resources.. Even a transfer from Badajoz, although for now they are content with having a short-term solution. “The swamp is dry and will take at least two years to fill again. Even if the rains return, we carry the dry season and it must absorb a lot of water to start collecting,” Aparicio concludes.

The parliamentary majority that will support a new Government of Pedro Sánchez is the most heterodox in democracy. An architecture of disparate parties that makes negotiation very complex. Since 23-J, all attention has been focused on finding the finishing touch, on obtaining the indispensable votes of Junts in exchange for an amnesty. The contacts continue and the PSOE confirms that they are making progress. But the acting president has wanted to accelerate and at the end of last week he ordered that talks be promoted for a joint program with Sumar, his partner in the coalition Executive.. Because the investiture is not a mirage in the hands of Carles Puigdemont, it has solid foundations.

Until then, the contacts had made little progress and had never touched on the thorniest issues.. The fear of Yolanda Díaz's platform was that, despite the commitment to conclude the pact in October, the PSOE would delay it until the end, close with Junts beforehand and force them to give in to their demands.. That fear remained until a few days ago when, they explain, the socialists changed their strategy. In Sumar they believe that Sánchez realized that time is running out – if there is no investiture before November 27, new elections will be held on January 14 – and that he needs to make agreements now.

The photo of the president and Díaz sends a message inside and outside the party that there will be a Government and puts their political project in black and white. The PSOE still has to seal pacts with PNV, ERC, Bildu and BNG and, of course, Junts. Now, socialist sources assure, “everyone is clearer about the Executive they are going to support”. The progress with Sumar, they maintain, can “encourage” the rest to understand that “the time has come”. Nobody dares to say that it speeds up because the plenary session for Sánchez to gain the confidence of the Chamber remains undated, but they do point out that this movement is not free. Some daring people are already dreaming of the week of November 6 “if nothing goes wrong”. But those who are really in the thick of it consider it a “mistake” to bet on a date.

With the prospect of an investiture “as soon as possible”, contacts with Sumar were given air in recent days, although the thorniest issues were not resolved until the meeting that Sánchez and the second vice president held on Monday morning. There, the socialist leader agreed to include some of the issues that his partners demanded of him: the tightening of the corporate tax and the possibility of a tax reform, the reduction of the working day and the development of the housing law..

From that moment on, the work was once again in the hands of the negotiators, first within the team formed in Sumar and, later, with Nacho Álvarez and María Jesús Montero as interlocutors on each side, who continued with the conversations electronically. , by video call, and they did not finish until dawn. The delay forced the subsequent staging to be improvised, with the Council of Ministers' press conference taking place for the first time at 10:30 to allow time for the signing ceremony between Sánchez and Díaz, who later flew to Brussels.. The parties that make up Sumar went to bed with the certainty that the agreement was not yet closed and had breakfast with the call of the president and vice president.

Podemos, increasingly distant from Yolanda Díaz, wanted to make it clear through Irene Montero that he did not know the detail. The tension between the purples and Sumar's management does not stop increasing. They feel mistreated, but no one doubts that the vote of their five deputies is guaranteed in the investiture. Sánchez has left it in the hands of the vice president to resolve their internal conflict and decide what weight they will have in their share of the Government – with the exception of the veto of both of them against Montero and the president's intention not to give up the Ministry of Equality this time -. Integration or not into the Podemos coalition Executive may be key to stability.

For now, it is worth it to the PSOE that the pact with Sumar has been achieved without fanfare, without the constant confrontations it has endured on its left, and Ferraz's message is that the image of Sánchez and Díaz has “political value”. The coalition government, they insist, has a solid foundation, now it is a matter of finishing off its parliamentary support.

But the PNV already showed yesterday its rejection of “its own agendas”. For weeks he has been warning that “ideological laws” will have to be circumvented, because the majority, with his formation and Junts, from the center-right spectrum, is more heterogeneous. In the socialist leadership, they maintain that what worries them the most is a “possible conflict of powers” and that about this, they assure, they should not fear, because everything “has to be substantiated in the normative development of the measures.”.

The socialists this Tuesday felt very optimistic, although caution prevails because Junts has taken the promise of discretion very seriously and is suspicious of all the information that comes from the PSOE. Insinuating a date is like “putting a gun to their temple,” they point out in the party. But the negotiation is going on, and another piece of evidence is that Ferraz yesterday did not attach any importance to the vote of the bases of the Consell de la República on the investiture.. Of the 90,484 registered in the Consell of the Republic, only 4,021 voted, which represents 4.45% of the activists. Of them, 3,009 members, 74.9%, want to boycott it.

The PSOE leadership must now promote consultation among its members so that they can rule on the government agreement with Sumar, as required by the statutes.. It has never been on the table that they do so on the pact with Junts, just as it was not done in the previous legislature with ERC. On Saturday the Federal Committee was convened to approve this statement by the militancy. That day the spirit of the socialist officials can be tested again. But the feeling that there will be a Government has been perennial, with hardly any ups or downs, since the same night of July 23rd.

Isabel Díaz Ayuso has not taken 24 hours to criticize the measures of the agreement between the PSOE and Sumar. The president of the Community of Madrid has criticized the limitation of commercial flights in Spain because it can “saturate” other services. “Many citizens will use their private car to avoid surprises,” the PP leader declared this Tuesday during a day on the environment organized by Madridiario..

The Madrid president has attacked the “interventionism” of Pedro Sánchez and Yolanda Díaz, who are betting on a reduction in short flights in the interior of the Peninsula when there is a train alternative of less than two and a half hours. “This does not always have to happen and services can be saturated. It may happen that one loses the mobility of one mode of transport and chooses the other.. That is to say, when you intervene in the markets, the opposite effect always occurs and many citizens will end up using a private vehicle to avoid surprises and changes,” he added..

Ayuso has placed this issue as the first battle against the incumbent Government. The words of the regional leader maintain the line of recent months, with a constant criticism of the policies of the left. “I do not believe so much in interventionism and political dirigisme as in offering to provide solutions in freedom so that the market, companies, citizens and administrations can walk together,” he stressed during the day..

Measurement content

The agreement between the PSOE and Sumar includes a “reduction of domestic flights” in cases where there is an alternative of less than hours and a half, although with the exception of “cases of connection with hub airports that link with international routes”. That is, there would be no prohibition on the connection between Madrid and Barcelona, for example. The measure has the objective of reducing pollution, although the airlines have already stated that it will not have the desired effect if a specific plan is not addressed for the AVE lines to connect directly with the Adolfo Suárez-Madrid Barajas airport..

The initiative is not new in Europe. France did the same last May, with a similar response from the companies involved. The measure would have an impact of 102 million euros annually on the national GDP and the loss of up to 1,852 full-time jobs for every million passengers, according to a PwC report commissioned by Iberia.. This writing is based on the routes that connect the capital with Alicante, Barcelona, Malaga, Seville and Valencia

The conflict unleashed after the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel continues to gain space on the national political agenda with clearly opposing positions. After the bitter confrontation in the Madrid Assembly between Isabel Díaz Ayuso (PP) and Mónica García (Más Madrid), the scene of the controversy has been the Malaga City Council. Podemos and Izquierda Unida, which make up the Con Málaga coalition, have displayed a large Palestinian flag as a gesture of “solidarity” with the Palestinian people.

The banner, measuring four by eight meters, was placed this Tuesday morning by councilors Toni Morillas and Nico Sguiglia, who during the protest action were accompanied by different social groups.. Subsequently, and after immortalizing the protest, it was removed without the intervention of municipal staff..

Sguiglia, co-spokesperson of the municipal group of the aforementioned formation, explained in a statement that “we are experiencing an authentic moral and humanitarian catastrophe with the siege and bombing by the Israeli government of the population of the Gaza Strip.”. “We are talking about more than 5,000 deaths today with a very high number of boys and girls among them,” he stated, to which Morillas added that this protest action is a response to the Town Hall being illuminated with the colors of the Israeli flag.

“We have been asking for weeks that, in the same way that the government team—of the PP—showed its support for the victims of Hamas, it should have long ago shown support for the millions of Palestinian citizens who are suffering from the government's indiscriminate aggression. of —Benjamin— Netanyahu”, the councilor has complained.

The left-wing leaders have explained that “with this gesture we continue to demand issues that are common sense: the immediate ceasefire by Israel, the opening and respect of humanitarian corridors and that international legislation be complied with or enforced.” and bring those responsible for this barbarity to justice.”. “All citizens and institutions, including our city council, must stand on the side of peace, dialogue and respect for the lives of the entire population threatened by the bombings and supply cuts that are being carried out in a criminal manner.. We cannot sit idly by in the face of this authentic genocide,” concluded Sguiglia.

“Two minutes”

For his part, the Councilor for Security, Avelino Barrionuevo, explained that the flag has been placed, without any permission, “for just over two minutes, just the time that councilors from the aforementioned group needed to take a photograph in front of the Town Hall. with the facade as a background”. The time calculation has been carried out precisely from the images taken by the video surveillance system, as explained by the City Council in a statement.

Cases of gender violence in adolescents have increased by 87.2%, according to the ANAR Foundation study 'Evolution of Violence Against Women in Childhood and Adolescence in Spain (2018-2022)'.

This type of violence, as they indicated this Tuesday in the presentation of the report, is the one that has increased the most, along with gender violence in the home or environment, especially in the post-pandemic period.. Specifically, they have stated that they treated a total of 11,031 boys, girls and adolescents for both types..

The study, as reported by the technical director and spokesperson for ANAR, Benjamín Ballesteros, is based on a total of 20,515 cases of minors, boys, girls and adolescents that ANAR has helped between 2018 and 2022.. “The objective is to know the evolution and also to highlight the changes and trends that we have detected throughout those four years. It has focused on the concept of violence against women, which is defined by the State agreement,” he indicated..

Regarding the approach, Ballesteros has indicated that they have used the intersectional approach in which the axes of inequality, gender, age, disability, origin, migration, etc. have also been studied.. Likewise, he explained that they have analyzed the biological, political, economic, social and cultural part “in order to obtain the results.”.

Likewise, he pointed out that ANAR has analyzed four types of violence. On the one hand, gender violence, which represents 53.8% of the total cases in the total universe. On the other hand, there would be sexual violence, with 11.7% of the total cases.. In third place, domestic violence, with 18.6% and, finally, other forms of violence such as bullying, physical attacks, cyberbullying, psychological aggression, etc., which account for 15.9%..

70% of teenage victims do not report

ANAR has also added that in 100% of the cases of those treated for gender violence in adolescents, they are women with an average age of 16, that 46.1% are in Secondary Education and 31.4% are in High School.. Furthermore, they have highlighted that almost half of them (49.8%) are young people with low academic performance and who live with their family (95.2%), either with both parents (56.4%) or with their mother only. (28%) or with the mother and another family member (6.2%). Likewise, they have emphasized that more than half are Spanish (68.8%).

However, in cases of gender violence in the environment, 56.6% are women, while 43.4% are men, with an average age of ten years.. In this situation, 37.9% are studying Secondary Education and 34.2% Primary Education and, likewise, in 50% of the cases their academic performance is low.. On the contrary, they live mostly in single-parent families (68.2%), with the mother 46.7% and with the mother and another family member 13.2%.. 50.8% are Spanish.

Likewise, the study highlights that 70.3% of victims of adolescent gender violence do not report nor have the intention to do so, compared to 39.3% of victims of gender violence in the environment..

Aggressor profile

On the other hand, regarding the profile of the aggressor, in 57% of the cases of those treated for adolescent gender violence it is the boyfriend, who is in the main age group between 14 and 17 years (63.7%). , although three out of ten are of legal age (32.6%).

In the same way, the director of the ANAR Help Lines, Diana Díaz, for her part, has stated that, according to the results obtained by the study, the aggressor “has a position of power with respect to his partner” and that This establishes a relationship of “emotional dependency”. Furthermore, he has stated that, at the beginning of the relationship, the aggressor makes comments and requests behavioral changes from the victim, “gently, to exercise control over his behavior.”.

Regarding gender violence in the environment, however, Díaz has indicated that it is the father (88.9%) and that it is mostly an adult (86.1%).. Likewise, he has stated that they have observed that, on occasions, he physically or psychologically attacks the children, as well as the mother.. In others, minors are involved in violence against their parents..

Sexual violence increases by 39.4%

The study also includes other forms of violence, such as sexual, domestic or bullying.. In these cases, Díaz has indicated that 9,484 female victims have been treated in these categories.. Likewise, he stressed that after gender violence, the violence that has increased the most has been sexual violence, which has increased by 39.4%..

Regarding the sociodemographic profile of these other forms of violence, Díaz explained that 100% are women, with an average age of 12.. Furthermore, 13.9% of the girls served have disabilities (67.8% intellectual) and are victims of bullying.. 46.1% are in Secondary Education, 31.4% are in High School, more than 70% have low academic performance and 98.9% live with their parents..

recommendations

Against this backdrop, ANAR Foundation proposes incorporating into the legal system the broad concept of gender violence contained in the Istanbul Convention, as well as creating a global framework of policies, programs and measures aimed at “preventing, detecting and combating all forms of violence.” that occur against adolescent girls and women”.

Likewise, prevention is considered “key” and they remember the free ANAR telephone number to help all minors, while emphasizing the importance of awareness and awareness campaigns and early care, from education and the family..

ANAR Foundation also proposes intervention with underage male aggressors, “so that they can redirect their way of relating to the female gender”; guidance and support for families; implement and make effective the regulatory framework regarding access and use by minors of the Internet and digital media; specialized care and immediate legal assistance.

As a result of this study, a campaign was born to deliver material to schools.. “Our goal is to support teachers in the prevention of violence against women. From ANAR we hope that no victim is left without receiving help and we want to educate on equal opportunities between men and women,” added the director of the Education Department of the ANAR Foundation, Graciela Sánchez..

A 34-year-old man was seriously injured this Tuesday with several fractures in a traffic accident when he left the road at kilometer 25 of the A-2, near the Madrid municipality of Torrejón de Ardoz..

At around 1:20 a.m., a call alerted that at that point there had been a car leaving the road that had overturned and its driver – the only occupant of the vehicle – had been ejected, detailed Emergencies 112 Community of Madrid..

Upon the arrival of health personnel, the injured person was stabilized and transferred by ambulance by Summa 112 to the 12 de Octubre Hospital.. The Civil Guard has also attended the scene of the accident..

The sine qua non condition for a negotiation, political, business, social, is that all parties consider, or can sell, that they win.. Another reason for agreeing is translated in negative terms, that is, not doing so entails a greater loss than doing so.. However, in the political negotiation of Sánchez's investiture it is not evident what Puigdemont gains or loses if he decides to make an agreement with the Government of Spain.. And that could be the fundamental reason why all the analyzes are so clueless about whether or not there will finally be an investiture.. For now, MEP Carles Puigdemont has the upper hand.. Because? Because Sánchez wanted a short negotiation and this seems to be going for a long time. Furthermore, the debate has not been about what Junts (Puigdemont) wins or loses if it gives another opportunity to the right and the extreme right to win in a supposed electoral repetition, but rather about the tricks of the independentists and, especially, of the former president..

Sánchez, on the election night of July 23, had to take a deep breath after holding his breath for two months. The surveys, in the same way as in Poland or Argentina, had underestimated the capacity of mobilization of antibodies against the extreme right.. That night, there was a winner, the PP, and a winner: the PSOE that, together with Sumar, had the opportunity to reissue the Government, but with an even more twisted sum, because it had to incorporate Puigdemont into the governability of the country, the who made mockery of the State and judicial disobedience a political career.

Isabel Díaz Ayuso, unlike her PP colleagues, rushed to take the investiture of Pedro Sánchez for granted. The Madrid president's speech exterminated the already complex story of a Feijóo exhausted by an insufficient victory. Despite the fact that the head of state's assignment forced the Galician to try to make a move, those who were already deploying their playing field were the independentists, especially Junts, who for the first time since its creation was willing to play the investiture game. , as stated by his only valid interlocutor, something that Ayuso's statements confirmed.

Junts is not a typical political party, because it was not designed to be one either.. You could say that it is a kind of platform that is amalgamated around a political leader who is not part of its leadership, Carles Puigdemont.. The political decisions of this platform do not emanate from the Junts bodies, but they are not endorsed by them either.. To (pseudo) ratify them or not, another parallel body was created called the Consell de la República, where in recent times there are more critics than members, which Puigdemont continues to use as if it were a kind of Parliament in which he remains the president. in exile.

When it is said that Junts is negotiating the investiture, it is not true. The one who negotiates, the one who decides and the one who agrees or does not agree is Puigdemont, and according to information from Fernando Garea, his lawyer, Gonzalo Boye who establishes the perimeter of the amnesty. The rest of the platform will do what Puigdemont orders. Therefore, to analyze whether the pact will be made or what political implications it has, we should not frame the analysis in what affects Junts as a party, but rather whether Puigdemont is interested in reaching a political agreement or not.. Because at this time the only thing that is clear is the strategy of making the PSOE suffer, which continues in a silent state and without giving clues on how to address this Rubicon.

Is Puigdemont interested in the pact? We will consider in the analysis that the amnesty would be the central condition and that it would affect him personally.. It is assumed that Puigdemont, as a father, son, husband, friend, would be interested in returning home.. Today, the former president of Catalonia has limited his movements, because he knows that if he returns to Spain he would have to face justice, in the same way that Junqueras and company did.. Remember that ostracism, since ancient times, has been one of the greatest punishments to which a person could be condemned. Therefore, we will assume that he would love to be able to return home, not be judged, continue as a European parliamentarian and spend the weekends in Girona, thanks also to his judicial and political strategy..

However, from the return, then what. The abnormality of his vital situation is what continues to motivate his political legitimacy.. We pointed out before that Junts is a party that Puigdemont leads, let's say from the exile of its leadership, because it is not part of it.. And this organic abnormality is granted because none of its members, those who pay the membership fee, dare to contradict a person who has sacrificed sleeping at home for the political cause.. Therefore, once you acquire the status of a person who can walk around your native Girona, what differentiates you from the rest?

The second question is not minor and is, once the clean slate operation has been carried out, what sense does it make to continue pedaling the fiction of the Consell de la República and, above all, how is it going to maintain the status of primus inter pares without assuming the statutes and daily life of a political party. He will try to lead Junts per Catalunya or he will set up another party. Furthermore, Puigdemont would be willing to submit to the legitimacy of the polls. That is, he will present himself as the head of the list in the next elections to the Parliament of Catalonia, ERC is deciding who will present himself as a candidate: Aragonès or Junqueras. But the other architect of October 1, 2017, if Puigdemont were to run for election, would run the risk of wanting to be president under the threat of being left without that legendary patina..

Every day that passes without an agreement, positions become castled. At first it seemed that the amnesty was the big game enough to save the party. However, the days go by and positions become messy.. Puigdemont no longer only seems to want amnesty, which could be read as his papal bull for his own, now the referendum is back in the foreground, a verification process, according to Lola García, a possible nominative recognition, we do not know if political, called “Catalan national minority” that could have unique political rights? And finally, at least so far, he wants a call, not to be less than Junqueras, with whom Pedro Sánchez had a conversation a few days ago, and, therefore, to be recognized at the highest government level, the photo of Díaz it is no longer enough.

But what is Puigdemont willing to do? The compromise that Sumar imposes at the moment, the only ones who have spoken out clearly on this matter, is the recognition of their own errors and the purpose of amendment, come on, stop saying that “they will come back to fer”. Junqueras and all those judicially convicted and politically amnestied did not recognize a single error. They all defended their right to fight for the independence of Catalonia and to carry out a unilateral referendum. We will hear Puigdemont admit some mistakes and, above all, say that, at least, he would not do it again. It is very difficult for me to imagine it, especially because he knows that at the moment the one who is leading the strategy of this negotiation is him..

There is still one month and three days left to exhaust the deadline that would force Spain to return to the polls. Just over 30 days in which every day that passes without an agreement the PSOE is forced to listen to how the requests of its not yet members become more expensive. But the only thing that seems to matter is whether Puigdemont wants it or not, whether this pact benefits him or only in the short term.. At the moment, the socialists are finding it too long. The day they speak will be to sentence and Puigdemont will have to choose caixa (negotiate the pact and obtain its benefits) or facha (give the extreme right the opportunity to enter the Government in a repeat election).
