The administrator of Mediapro, Jaume Roures, has explained in the trial for alleged espionage against him that the emails that were supposedly stolen from his corporate address, which he has quantified at more than 11,000, contained sensitive company information..

This was stated in the first session of the trial held today Tuesday in Criminal Court 20 of Barcelona, where Roures – who is acting as a private prosecutor and who today was the first witness to testify – has stated that the stolen emails contained information that It ranged from the bankruptcy that the company was facing when the events occurred, at least between 2009 and 2011, to “what was known at the time as the so-called football war”.

The Prosecutor's Office requests four years in prison and fines of 14,400 euros for a former head of Mediapro's IT department and for a person related to the company Bonus Sport Marketing (BSM), whom it accuses of having spied on emails for at least three years. from Roures.

Initially, Mediapro also complained about the alleged espionage against the former president of FC Barcelona Sandro Rosell – who had been the owner of BSM -, considering that it was related to the theft of emails, although the court that investigated the case closed the case. against him, a decision that was later endorsed by the Barcelona Court.

The Prosecutor's Office maintains in its indictment that Mediapro's IT manager “systematically” accessed Roures' corporate email account, without his consent, and made a copy of those messages he sent to people and entities “related to with his professional and personal sphere”. The computer scientist, adds the public ministry, sent the copies of those emails to the other defendant, who was interested in the messages related to the business activity of Mediapro, because he was dedicated to the same sector of sports marketing..

Roures has reiterated on several occasions that the accused former computer scientist had stolen 11,566 emails that came from his personal account, with “super sensitive information on the bankruptcy proceedings, the football war, relationships with lawyers”, among other issues.. Furthermore, he has stated that the information stolen from his account could be of interest to Barça, a sports entity with which the two defendants were professionally linked, by collecting economic activities of Mediapro, all of which were legal, as well as other relevant information..

The audiovisual businessman has also testified that he went to the office of the then president of FC Barcelona, Sandro Rosell, where the accused linked to BSM was also present, where they supposedly acknowledged that they had received those emails, but that they had deleted them..

For his part, the computer scientist – who has only answered questions from the defense lawyers – has acknowledged that he sent the emails from Roures' account to BSM addresses without his consent, although he has rejected the accusation that he The objective was to filter sensitive information. Furthermore, he has stated that he had a meeting with Roures, among others present, in which, according to his version, he felt coerced and in which he was supposedly pressured “to accuse Mr. Rosell of being the instigator or origin” of the alleged espionage.

In this Tuesday's session, Sandro Rosell also testified, explaining that he received Roures in his office, where the audiovisual businessman accused him of having spied on him and, after which, he stated that he told him: “If you renew my rights, I won't do anything to you from television”.

Regarding the computer scientist, he has testified that he knows that Mediapro's lawyers “put a lot of pressure on him” to try to get him to say “things that were not.”. As for the second defendant, the judge has allowed him to testify last, in a trial that will last throughout the week..

• Feijóo investiture, live
• Feijóo places his investiture as the prelude to a “tough opposition” against Sánchez

The president of the Popular Party and candidate for the investiture, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, defended this Tuesday in his speech in the Congress of Deputies the immediate modification of article 49 of the Constitution in order to settle “as soon as possible” a “debt” to people with disabilities, who are still called 'disabled' in the text of the Magna Carta.

The PP candidate has referred to the formulation of this article of the Constitution, specifying that he undertakes to change the term used “as soon as possible”. In addition to this commitment, the popular leader has stated that “Spain must face reforms”. Likewise, Feijóo has mentioned the need to address a Pact against Gender Violence or an Antiterrorism Pact.

Regarding the reform of article 49, the general secretary of the PP, Cuca Gamarra, assured that Núñez Feijóo's commitment is to leave behind the use of this pejorative term to reach out to this sector of the population as a “show of respect and sensitivity.” towards people who have a disability”. According to Feijóo's number two, the measure seeks to ensure that “the word disabled disappears from our Constitution” because it is “inappropriate and, furthermore, offends millions of Spaniards.”. Likewise, he recalled that the agreement was “practically closed” in the last legislature, before the acting President of the Executive, Pedro Sánchez, called the general elections of 23-J on May 29..

“We are all equal in rights”

“In the same way that the first flag that we defend is equality among all Spaniards because we are all equal in rights, duties and before the law, the reform of article 49 of the Constitution, which was also already very advanced, is one of the specific commitments that Feijóo will present in his country project, as it cannot be otherwise,” Gamarra pointed out in this regard before Feijóo took the rostrum of the Congress of Deputies this Tuesday..

Finally, he defended that the speech that Núñez Feijóo has presented in the Congress of Deputies aims to “make our country move forward, guaranteeing equality among all Spaniards” and concluded by assuring that “we will reform the Constitution to eliminate the term 'disabled'. '”.

The National Court has sentenced 32 defendants to sentences of up to two years in prison for their links to the Los Angeles del Infierno biker group for criminal activities carried out in Palma de Mallorca between 2009 and 2013, while it has acquitted another 13, including group leader, Frank Hanebuth. The Chamber rules out the crime of criminal organization because it has not been proven that the accused formed a “criminal enterprise”.

The acquittal of the crime of belonging to a criminal organization extends to all the accused, including those who had acknowledged this crime at the beginning of the oral hearing by showing their agreement with the accusation of the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office.. Of the 45 accused (the accusation was withdrawn for one), 35 agreed and 9 disagreed with the Prosecutor's accusation..

The sentence of the Fourth Section of the Criminal Chamber, of 500 pages, applies to all the accused the mitigation of undue delays, in its simple form. Also the late recognition of the facts to those who agreed before the trial, so their prison sentences are replaced by fines, as requested by the Public Ministry..

This is the case of one of Hanebuth's alleged lieutenants, Khalil Youssafi, whom the Chamber sentences to 9 years and 9 months in prison, a sentence that, like other defendants who have acknowledged the facts, is replaced by a fine..

On the contrary, his brother Abdelghani Youssafi, who did not comply, was sentenced to two years in prison for a crime of prostitution, although he has been acquitted of belonging to a criminal organization, threats, coercion, concealment, illegal detention, money laundering , illicit possession of weapons and failure to prosecute crimes. As for the person considered to be Hanebuth's right-hand man, Paul Engelke, the Court sentences him to one year and 6 months in prison for crimes of threats and cover-up..

Hanebuth and the criminal enterprise

The president of the Hells Angels of Hannover and head of this “chapter” or group in Mallorca, Frank Hanebuth, has also been acquitted of all the crimes of which he was accused, considering that there is no evidence that he intimidated anyone or that he has permanently settled in Spain with the intention of creating a chapter on the Balearic island of the HAMC organization that he himself would direct and lead “as a base for the continuation of the alleged criminal activities for which he and the HAMC organization are being subjected.” research in Germany.

The court, of the Fourth Section, chaired by Judge Teresa Palacios and with a presentation by Judge Juan Francisco Martel, considers that it has not been possible to prove that the accused are part of a criminal enterprise..

It states that “they are people settled on the island of Mallorca (Balearic Islands), many of them related to the international motorcycle club called 'Hells Angels Motor Club' (HAMC) or 'Ángeles del Infierno Motor Club' in its Spanish version, without it being known that the people linked to this association (of which there are about twenty established in Spain) are integrated into a hierarchical criminal structure, with pretensions of permanence and in which each of its members adopts a specific role, as a criminal enterprise dedicated to obtaining benefits to be deposited in a common fund and with them meet the needs of said structure and prolong the alleged criminal activities.”.

Nor has it been proven, says the ruling, that 'Hells Angels' is a perfectly structured organization that carries out internal control of its members in a coercive or violent manner, with a strong hierarchical character and iron discipline, whose members due to this circumstance are not who are involved in crimes related to prostitution, drug trafficking, illicit possession of weapons, threats and coercion, concealment of crimes and money laundering from criminal conduct.

All of this, he adds, “without prejudice to the fact that any of its members are or have been involved in police and judicial investigations for the alleged commission of acts criminally reprehensible to them, not committed under the protection of that lawful and registered association.”.

Undue delays

The Chamber has applied to all those convicted the mitigation of undue delays in its simple form, interested by the Public Prosecutor's Office, and has assessed that the case presented the complexity derived from the nature of the actions investigated, the number of people involved, the variety of the legal relationships that linked them and the plurality of places where the events occurred, which required, according to the magistrates, not only the practice of many procedures, but also the provision of multiple documentation.

For the Court, the processing was always maintained at speed and there was never any paralysis, since various procedures were carried out aimed at the most complete clarification of what happened and aimed at providing the necessary elements for a correct prosecution, which determines that it has not been unnecessarily harmed by unjustified stoppages or by the practice of proceedings that should have been considered useless.

However, the court adds in the ruling that the long period of carrying out the procedural acts does allow the time elapsed to be considered undue for the purposes of assessing the circumstance of mitigation of the criminal responsibilities involved, because it is evident that from the first arrests of the accused, in July 2013, until the decree of accusation was issued, in April 2022, almost nine years have passed.

The Chamber also applies the mitigating circumstance of late recognition of the facts to 35 of the accused and that for the court “was important and essential to proceed with the most rapid and effective resolution of the case as it affected them”, which is why it deserves a minor criminal charge.

Regarding the civil guard and the two local police officers who were tried, the court condemned the former for the crime of violation of secrets to a fine and absolved him of bribery and the duty to prosecute crimes.. In relation to the local police officers, one of them is acquitted of belonging to a criminal organization and bribery, while the other agent is sentenced to disqualification from employment or public office for six months for the crime of omission of the duty to prosecute crimes..

The Mallorca branch

It should be remembered that the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office presented its indictment in January 2019, targeting almost fifty individuals and three other legal entities for 16 charges that resulted in a combined balance of 298 and a half years in prison..

The indictment issued at the time by the investigating judge Eloy Velasco placed Hanebuth at the head of the organization and added that he would have had the help of Khalil Yousafi and his brother Abdelghani who would have facilitated his landing in Mallorca along with another ” group of sidekicks”.

The prosecutor maintained that the members of the club were involved in serious crimes that resulted in accusations of criminal organization, money laundering, drug trafficking, illegal detention, illegal possession of weapons, prostitution, threats, coercion, extortion, falsification of documents, cover-up , omission of the duty to prosecute crimes, violation of secrets and bribery.

Felipe VI will return to the political center after the foreseeable failed investiture of the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, which begins this noon in Congress. The monarch will have to call a new round of consultations with the parties and propose Pedro Sánchez, who hopes to submit to the confidence of the Chamber in mid-October. The socialist must have closed by then the agreements that guarantee the yes of Junts, PNV, ERC and Bildu. Now the negotiation is focused on the terms of the amnesty that Carles Puigdemont demands to give the green light to a new Sánchez presidency, and which according to the Republicans has been agreed, in the absence of technical details.. But the Basque nationalists will also put a high price on their five votes. Among the historical demands of the formation is to review the inviolability of the King, which will be on the agenda of demands for the legislature. From the PSOE, they admit that it is “an unresolved issue” and that it will return to the political battlefield with the imminent anniversary of the speech it gave on October 3, 2017, after the illegal referendum..

The relationship of the partners with the Crown will be a complicated front for Sánchez. Yolanda Díaz's party supports eliminating “privileges” of Felipe VI and for the Catalan independentists it is one of their black beasts. ERC and Junts want him to “apologize” for “endorsing the violence” of the Security Forces. Deputy Gabriel Rufián read a joint statement with Junts, Bildu, PNV and BNG under the motto: “We have no king.”. The new parliamentary arithmetic arising from the 23-J elections, which delved into Sánchez's dependence on the Frankenstein partners, places the Government in an “uncomfortable” position vis-à-vis the head of State. The first proof is in the swearing-in of the Constitution by Princess Leonor, on October 31, where a sit-in by sovereignists in Congress is expected, as reported by El Confidencial..

So far, the PSOE has joined the PP to stop in the Lower House Table the initiatives of those of Aitor Esteban, who asked to limit the “irresponsibility” of the King to institutional acts. The Basques already made a battery of proposals, among which were also other recurring demands such as the reform of the law on official secrets or modifying the operation of the CNI.. The socialists have clung to the opinion of the Chamber's lawyers, who already in 2022 argued that the PNV text “invaded” the Constitution, which in its article 56.3 establishes that “the person of the King is inviolable and is not subject to responsibility.” ”. Since it was included in the Magna Carta, it could not be amended by means of a bill, as the writing concluded..

The alibi is easily dismantled, given that the Sánchez Government negotiated in 2021 and 2022 with the PP the development of a Crown Law and it was put on the table to modify the change in the status of the monarch without needing to touch the Constitution. There were meetings between Zarzuela and the emissaries of the Moncloa and the PP. On the part of the Executive, they were initially headed by Vice President Carmen Calvo, until her departure from the Council of Ministers.. From that moment on, the relationship with the Royal House was assumed by Félix Bolaños.. In the case of the popular ones, the then leader, Pablo Casado, appointed Manuel Pizarro as interlocutor. There was no agreement. Zarzuela and the main opposition party opposed addressing inviolability.

Traditionally, the PSOE has sought out the PP to address issues relating to the head of state, but the rule was broken with the exile of the emeritus to Abu Dhabi, which was not communicated to the popular parties.. Although Zarzuela will always be taken into account, socialist sources point out, Sánchez would be willing to open the debate on the demand of Basques and Catalans so that Felipe VI goes from being inviolable to being incapacitated before the Supreme Court, as happens with politicians.. The Moncloa could always frame it within the steps that the King's House has been taking for the sake of greater transparency of the institution..

Last year, the PSOE already supported in Congress an initiative by its members to decriminalize insults to the Crown by modifying several articles of the Penal Code, including 490.3, which proposes prison sentences of six months to two years in the serious cases, as well as fines of six to 12 months for minor crimes.

From a legal point of view, there is debate about whether or not it is essential to reform the Magna Carta. Experts such as the constitutionalist Francesc de Carreras have defended a “partial inviolability” and not total, so that the King has to answer before Justice for his private acts.. It would not be necessary to carry out a reform of the Magna Carta, since it would serve, as the PNV also defends, with a modification of the Organic Law of the Judiciary to include the monarch along with the other powers of the royal family. At this time, Queen Letizia, the Princess of Asturias and Don Juan Carlos and Doña Sofía are under arrest after their abdication..

The Congressional lawyers who have been rejecting changes in the King's “irresponsibility” are the same ones who described as “unconstitutional”, in a report in 2021, the amnesty that Sánchez is negotiating with Junts today in exchange for his seven votes to repeat as president. If finally the measure of grace for the independentists goes ahead, it will have to be endorsed by the monarch.

Compromís will demand from Pedro Sánchez's PSOE the introduction in the next general budgets of the State of a temporary leveling fund that compensates for the deficit caused by underfinancing in the autonomies most affected by the current system of distribution of resources between the territories.. The Valencians have made the first “informal” contacts with the team of the socialist deputy secretary and acting Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero, with the intention of probing the status of the investiture negotiation, assuming that the popular Alberto Núñez Feijóo will not achieve the necessary positive votes this week to be elected president of the Government.

Following the more than likely failed investiture of the PP leader, a race against the clock begins in which the socialists and Sumar plan to obtain enough support for Sánchez to revalidate the Moncloa seat.. For weeks now, the possible approval of an amnesty law for pro-independence leaders with pending cases related to the process and the events of October 1, 2017 in Catalonia has been on the national agenda, including the former president of the Catalan Generalitat Carles Puigdemont, now on the run. of Justice and outside Spain. ERC and Junts are the most interested in carrying out this measure in exchange for guaranteeing the investiture, and they also add claims regarding budgetary and territorial tax matters..

However, that of the sovereignists or the PNV is not the only vote that the PSOE needs to remain in the Government.. The formation of Yolanda Díaz has within her parliamentary group two MPs from Compromís, the deputy spokesperson of the group, Àgueda Micó, and Alberto Ibáñez. The confederal alliance with Sumar and the fact of having been evicted from the Valencian Generalitat and important city councils of the Valencian Community have greatly reduced the visibility of the Valencian coalition. Micó is also working on his public profile, replacing Joan Baldoví, better known in the halls of Congress, but now dedicated to regional politics and spokesperson tasks in the Valencian Parliament..

For the Valencians, the negotiation of the investiture is a litmus test to establish a position, since they have freedom of vote within the Sumar group.. Despite the tight makeup of the majority, in which the investiture is played by a very narrow margin of vote, in Compromís they admit that they could hardly overthrow an investiture if a great alliance of the PSOE and Sumar is closed with the rest of the nationalist forces and the independentists. But, in a parliamentary souk scenario like the one that resulted from the 23-J polls, in the Valencian Community there are already voices that warn that Compromís will lose an opportunity if it does not obtain compensation in favor of its territory in exchange for the investiture of Sánchez.

Sources from the Valencian party take it for granted that Montero will once again commit to the reform of regional financing, as he already did in the 2019 investiture agreement, although it was later put on hold sine die.. A promise without a calendar and clear signs that you are serious will not seem credible at first.. Compromís sources indicate that they will continue to demand the reform in writing. But also the transitional solution while a new Organic Law of Financing of the Autonomous Communities (Lofca) is processed and negotiated..

The immediate introduction of this leveling fund in next year's general budgets would be “a good bullet” that would justify the vote in favor of Sánchez to the Valencian electorate.. This transitional fund, an economic item calculated based on independent reports such as those carried out by Fedea, which supports the initiative, has been claimed by the territories most affected by the system, both the Valencian Community and Andalusia and Murcia.. The Andalusian Junta, in the hands of Juanma Moreno's Popular Party, even joined forces last term with the Botanical Council, then chaired by the socialist Ximo Puig, to jointly claim it..

“It would be a short-term concrete action to stop the bleeding of the deficit due to underfinancing until the reform of the system is resolved,” Compromís sources explain. Along these lines, they point out that technically landing the proposal is not complicated either. It would be about including a direct item in the general budgets of the State, in the same way that Montero forgave in the 2022 accounts more than 3,900 million euros in negative settlements from 2020, the year of the pandemic, to the regional governments (except the Valencian Community, the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands, which registered positive settlement, receivable). To this end, it articulated a transfer from the State to those territories so that they in turn compensated the pending account to the Treasury, with a neutral result in their income and expense accounts.

The act against the amnesty ended. And the PP ran to tell that they had been surprised by the volume of the mobilization. Don't believe it, an act of this magnitude is worked to the maximum and calculated to the millimeter.. The key is not in the feigned surprise written in the communication department, but in the verification desired by the management of Genova Street. They have passed the test: the Popular Party will also be able to oppose it from the street, and that confirmation may have more significance in the short and medium term than Feijóo's own investiture.. Be careful with this strategic unfolding, with this expansion of the field of contention, because there is a precedent and it did not work badly for them..

Outside of party headquarters, no one imagines the volume of effort necessary for a size XXL event.. All terminals are activated. Fully in Madrid, where each of the headquarters of each neighborhood and each locality received the indication of the number of people it would have to contribute.

And exactly the same thing happened in the other territories. Of course the closest ones, but not only. Everyone has received orders with different figures, but the same unit of measurement, the buses. And all the leaders received the call: “You have to be there.”. Thus, at full organic lung, the image is guaranteed fully. A much easier task when there is municipal and regional power, when there is no lack of resources.

The rest is added or taken away by the social climate and talent in operational matters.. Moving the call from Plaza España to Plaza de Felipe II was a success because the area is more favorable and because the place is less square, narrower but longer, much better in terms of image.

Meanwhile, those in communication are spinning fine lines. They began selling Sunday as a demonstration, then as a rally, and the message was gradually restricted to make clear, without making it too explicit, the idea that it was a full-fledged party act..

The execution was smooth, the speeches were measured. There were no surprises. Nothing out of this world in the whole, but objective achieved. And the test contained quite a few risks..

Clicking on assistance, giving off the feeling of division, any slip or failure two days before the investiture would have generated a situation that was very difficult to handle.. But it was not like that. The popular party left the event believing that they have recovered muscle, and thinking that, today, there is no other party in Spain with a greater capacity for social mobilization..

It seems something to take into account given the circumstances: the legislature may be short if Sanchismo remains in power, it will certainly not be calm and, in Parliament, Feijóo will only be able to exercise a 100% confrontational opposition. Therefore, it is very difficult to think that it will take us a while to see new mobilizations..

I believe that the street will play a decisive role in the PP's strategy. And I believe it because the necessary conditions exist for this to occur (strength of the party through power and the consequent income), because there will be plenty of casus belli (from Puigdemont's program to the rejection of Sánchez, through the situation of the middle classes), because the opportunity to prevent Vox from raising its head by agitating the middle classes is obvious, and because there is a precedent that should be studied.

The result of the last general election was a surprise. But it was not the first. In 2004, the unexpected also happened. And then, Rajoy's leadership was equally or more contested than Feijóo's now. It took a lot of work to amass the organization, but social mobilization contributed a lot to maintaining and reinforcing leadership and keeping electoral options alive..

During those years, there were many demonstrations that were held, also in the Madrid neighborhood of Salamanca, fundamentally around the family, on more than one occasion with bishops on hand..

All of this distanced the PP from the female vote and from the youngest electoral strata.. In fact, that clearly conservative bet ideologically displaced the PP, moving it away from the center.. And yet it served.

What was it for? To generate three complementary tensions. First, organic tension: the big parties have a very consolidated organic culture. In the face of major political events (elections, parliamentary milestones…) and social events (mobilizations), they activate combat mode.

When that happens, the conspiracies end, the entire organization puts aside what is internal and focuses on achieving the maximum possible performance.. More PP on the street can mean less noise in the hallways.

Second, the media tension: the conservative media are much less disciplined than the progressive ones (Moncloa's money generates adhesions as forced and embarrassing as those we are seeing with the amnesty).

There is not one right, but many, and when the published opinion has nothing to say against the Government, it looks towards the PP headquarters, speculates on possible successions, pays more attention to Vox… We have seen all of this on countless occasions during these last years. More PP on the streets can mean less doubts in the conservative conversation.

Third, electoral tension: the greatest threat to the Popular Party is located in the danger of weakening their voting loyalty, the greatest opportunity in their ability to attract socialist voters who in the end did not vote for Feijóo's in the last elections. generals because they retreated.

Therefore, it needs to consolidate and expand the perception of the right's alpha party, while offering a clear alternative to temperate progressive voters.. Can Parliament be enough to achieve this? No. More PP in the streets can mean more social power as a political alternative.

Zapatero achieved victory in 2008, when the economic crisis had not broken out, after running an electoral campaign that has not yet been surpassed in Spain, relying on the defense of the rights and freedoms achieved during his first term.. But Rajoy, few people remember, improved his results by three points, reaching 40% of the votes.

Therefore, it can be concluded that the strategy of extending opposition politics to the streets already worked for the PP once. The difference now, not minor, is that we are no longer talking about rights and freedoms but about the unity of Spain. This is an engine with greater mobilization power, which can give more strength to the PP against Vox and which can attract more progressive voters.. Bet there will be more streets.

The Congress of Deputies has warned since this Monday that the first speeches in Catalan, Basque and Galician delivered in the chamber without interruptions, and included in the Session Log of the first plenary session of the legislature, have been transcribed and translated “by the services interpretation and transcription”. That is, by an external company, and not by the Chamber's stenographers, the officials who are in charge of capturing the relevant words and “events” in this official document.. As El Confidencial reported, lawyers from the Palacio de la Carrera de San Jerónimo were required to provide a formula to include in the Session Log the notice that not everything captured in its pages came from the stenographers.. These officials had shown reluctance to assume as their own the translations and transcriptions of third parties in other languages that would later be included in the document..

Official Congressional sources maintain today that “the professionalism” of the translators is assumed, and they refuse to use the word “warning” to refer to the text incorporated at the end of the Session Log.. “It is a description of what has been done,” they maintain.. Legal sources from the Chamber affirm that, given its nature as an official public document, the Session Log cannot be partially valid, and they consider it unusual that today it incorporates a text in which they understand that the responsibility of a third party is indicated.. In other copies published by the Senate, where Catalan, Basque and Galician have been used for years in some assessed cases, no mention is included of the fact that professionals outside the Upper House are the ones who guarantee the reliability of the translations and the transcripts.

“In the case of interventions made in Spanish languages other than Spanish that are also official in the respective Autonomous Communities in accordance with their Statutes, the Session Log reflects the interpretation into Spanish and the transcription of the intervention in said languages, provided for interpretation and transcription services”. The formula is more nuanced and much less forceful than the one incorporated into the plenary session signal translated into Spanish, for the first time, last Tuesday. Then, Congress already warned that “in no case” could the translations be considered “an authenticated recording” of the debates.. “Simultaneous interpretation,” he stated, only seeks to “facilitate communication between the participants in the meeting.”.

Today, the Chamber insists that the Session Log is one more instrument, like the video signal itself, to give “publicity”, understood as a public nature, to the plenary sessions.. The legal sources in question warned days ago that a disclaimer clause could bury the “probative effectiveness” of this document.. Implicitly, this warning indicates that stenographers are responsible only for the words originally spoken in Spanish.. On Friday, Congress did not know how to detail whether they would include a message like the one they finally added.

Article 95 of the Regulation establishes as official publications the Official Gazette of the Cortes Generales, Congress section, and the Journal of Sessions.. To date, the Session Diary was usually published on the day after the plenary session in question, although there is no rule that imposes a specific periodicity for its publication.. The document corresponding to last Thursday's plenary session is not yet ready, when the reform of the Regulations was approved to consolidate the right of parliamentarians to use these languages. The modification came into force when it was published in the Official Gazette.

The Congress plans to allocate 8,500 euros until December to pay for the external translation service, which has allowed the Session Log to be multilingual for the first time.. In fact, the document made public this Monday incorporates the transcription of the stenographers, but also the paragraphs spoken in the official languages in the respective autonomous communities..

The translation of these interventions into Spanish is also added in italics.. It is the last two contributions that have led the Lower House to warn that “the interpretation and transcription services” are the ones who provide them for inclusion in the Session Log.. There are already committees to which stenographers do not attend, and the transcription of statements is carried out by third parties, but until now there has been no allusion to this reality in the official publications of Congress. These sessions, in any case, were held in Spanish, and the work of the external company could be reviewed and corrected by the stenographers..

The Spanish Confederation of Freight Transport (CETM) has called on the Government to take measures “immediately” regarding fuel prices, which already total 11 consecutive weekly increases, and has demanded that the bonus be extended from 10 to 20 cents per liter.

With less than a week until the transport fuel bonus goes from ten to five cents, transporters have regretted that the Executive has not given any response to their request so that the sector can recover the initial amount of 20 cents per liter consumed, despite the fact that the Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda itself promised to review the aid if the situation worsened.

In this sense, they have stressed that analysts predict that prices will continue to rise “unstoppably” given the cuts in oil supply that producing countries are carrying out..

“It is offensive that the road freight transport sector has to wait until the last day, as has happened on previous occasions, to find out if its requests are met and to be able to continue with the activity and management of its companies,” explained the CETM in a statement.

For transporters, the situation is “unsustainable” since not only have fuel prices risen “disproportionately”, but so have other costs such as salaries, insurance, tires or vehicles.. Furthermore, the collapse in consumption due to inflation would be reducing their activity and further damaging the state of their accounts.. “There is a strong concern among transport companies and self-employed workers,” they have denounced.. For this reason, given the “fundamental” work carried out by this sector, they have announced that if the Government does not take action on the matter, the consequences will be unpredictable, and could cause serious damage to the Spanish economy as a whole..

A 52-year-old man has been arrested in Alicante after confessing that he killed his 66-year-old tenant with a knife and that he hid her body for almost a month wrapped in plastic bags and covered inside a duvet..

Although the motives for the crime have not yet been confirmed, there was a history of arguments due to cohabitation between the two, according to the National Police..

The homicide occurred on August 29 but was not known until last night around 11:30 p.m. when the arrested person, a Spanish national, called the provincial police station to state that he had violently ended the life of his tenant, with whom he shared a flat and did not have a romantic relationship.

The agents immediately went to the scene and found the body of a woman in an advanced state of decomposition, wrapped in plastic bags and covered with a duvet, in addition to several effects useful for the investigation, including a knife that was possibly used. for homicide. The house is located on San Vicente Street in Alicante and was in a very poor state of health, including feces and remains of garbage around the home..

The Violent Crime Group (Homicides) of the Provincial Judicial Police Brigade has taken charge of the investigations and the detainee is in the police station cells waiting for him to be brought to justice in the next few hours..

The 750 hectares of controversy in Doñana are located in the Northern Crown. The law that the Parliament of Andalusia will debate in two weeks plans to reclassify these lands, which would become irrigated and their owners will be able to request irrigation rights.. Experts call for the withdrawal of the rule and an agreement between administrations to remove Doñana from the political limelight, although it seems inevitable that its approval will reactivate the conflict between the central government and the Junta de Andalucía..

The Andalusian president, Juanma Moreno, opened this week to study an idea that would put an end to the controversy: that the Public Administration buy those lands to reduce pressure on the park. “If the farmers agreed, and there are resources to do so, I would not close that door,” said Moreno, asked about this possibility, before demanding “dialogue” from the Government “to seek a stable and lasting solution.”.

The Andalusian Executive had already opened up to studying the exchange route, an exchange of land with the affected farmers to keep them away from the Park.. It was a proposal by former vice president Alfonso Guerra, who for years presided over the Board of Trustees of the Doñana National Park, although the farmers rejected the idea.. Now the Board does not close the door to negotiating a purchase, as it has done with the Veta la Palma estate, artificial marshes with which it intends to expand the Park.. The operation will be closed for around 70 million euros.

The Shock Plan of the Ministry for the Ecological Transition already includes a package of 100 million euros for the purchase of farms and water rights in the Doñana area, with the aim of reducing irrigated crops in the area of the Park.. However, the Government promised to study the acquisitions on a case-by-case basis and made it clear that they would be “voluntary” offers.. This week, the Prosecutor's Office announced an investigation into water extractions in case there was environmental responsibility. More pressure on offenders after intensifying the closure of illegal wells, which these days have also confirmed the first prison sentence for a case of this type in the area.

Would farmers be willing to sell the hectares that were left out of the Strawberry Plan? Only “after the law”. “From the approval, everyone can decide what they want,” responds Julio Díaz, spokesperson for the irrigators affected in the municipalities of Almonte, Bonares, Lucena del Puerto, Moguer and Rociana del Condado.. The soils would multiply their current price tenfold, according to a report from the Ministry of Agriculture advanced by El Periódico de España. The dryland lands would go from being worth 13,539 euros per hectare to 140,362, according to the usual valuation.

“Those lands were already irrigated, but then they were dispossessed. And now they want to buy land from farmers with another qualification at a pittance price? “After the damage they have done?” asks the spokesperson for the irrigators, who rules out that so far there have been negotiations with the Board or the central Executive.. “The conditions are not met due to the arrogance with which the Government of Spain has administered it,” he adds..

The Andalusian PP will take the irrigation law to the regional plenary session on October 5. The party intended to approve it this week, although it has finally decided to postpone it to avoid the debate coinciding with Feijóo's investiture. When the rule goes ahead, predictably with the votes in favor of PP and Vox, the central government will paralyze the processing by turning to the Constitutional Court. And the 750 hectares of controversy will return to the political limelight.
