What does Pablo Echenique say, that scientist who spends the day hooked on social networks, that it happens to Podemos as it did to José Luis Perales, when the hoax of his death has spread, which is one of the most miserable false news that is spread spread through those dumps. They said that the singer had died, some televisions even echoed the fake news, and the man had to record a small video in London, where he is on vacation, so that people really believe that he has not beaten her.. We already know that, in this era that we have had to live in, for a large part of the population, lies, especially if they are linked to dark conspiracies, are more credible than the truth, so the singer-songwriter must have thought that the only way to stop that was to appear in body and soul. “Someone with a very bad idea has said that I have died, but I am more alive and happier than ever,” Perales said..

That is the detail that Echenique liked, that professional from the Superior Center for Scientific Research who spends the day posting inflammatory messages. “A big hug, José Luis. Those of Podemos know exactly how you feel. Corrupt journalism has been publishing that we are dead for 10 years,” Echenique wrote.. Anyway… They would like in We can be just as alive as Perales. At the moment, it is not true that news of the death of Podemos has been published for 10 years, for the simple reason that Podemos did not exist 10 years ago. It was founded in January 2014, so the impetuous exporter of United We Can is already starting badly.

A big hug, José Luis. Those of @Podemos know exactly how you feel. Corrupt journalism has been publishing that we are dead for 10 years. Today, without going any further, they have published several copy-and-paste obituaries to clickbait in August. https://t.co/GynDFKTfcX

Exporter? Did I say exporter? Of course, perhaps that is what is beginning to happen to some of the former leaders of Podemos, who are waking up one morning after another, and it is increasingly difficult for them to assume that they no longer have any public office, that they have been fired from their armchairs. Whether leaving the seat or the office should be considered a political death or not, each person affected must assess it, but in any case, the responsibility does not lie with corrupt journalism. The ultimate responsible for the fact that Podemos has plummeted is the new political formation, Sumar, which counts less and less on them. We have already analyzed this here on other occasions: it is not a drama for the left that Podemos is disappearing, because in Spain it is not the first time that it has happened in that political space, nor are the voters of that ideology left orphaned.. In fact, what is normal, what has been confirmed in this half century of democracy, is that instability is a constant among the heterogeneous group that is to the left of the PSOE, the extreme left, as could be described. Since Julio Anguita's first attempt, the left has always tried to unite and has never succeeded beyond a decade without falling into deep crises..

Fallen Podemos, the only novelty is that those who now represent that space are others and have another name. Podemos remains in Pudimos, because it has been replaced, substituted, by a new movement, in the same way that they engulfed their predecessors. The drama is not political, it is personal, in any case. The opposite, for example, is what happened with Ciudadanos, where the party and the political space it represented disappeared at the same time, the center. With Podemos or without Podemos, left-wing voters are going to continue with the option of voting for the same ideas and identical proposals, who they will not be able to listen to in the Congress of Deputies is Pablo Echenique, because they have taken him out of medium and have replaced a young Galician politician, Marta Lois. Pablo Echenique was spokesperson due to his friendship and political loyalty with the boss, Pablo Iglesias, and Marta Lois has been appointed spokesperson for exactly the same reasons, her friendship and loyalty to the new boss, Yolanda Díaz.

So yes, it is a lie that José Luis Perales has died, as he himself has been in charge of denying, but there is no possibility that Podemos will get rid of the grave that they themselves began to dig, when the heads of the dissenting and the assembly degenerated into Caesarism. Nobody survives for long when they are blinded by demagogy and sectarianism and, for this reason, the news of the employment regulation file for the majority of the Podemos workforce is an act of poetic justice.. The normal thing, although they have not confirmed it yet, will be that the massive dismissal of the workforce is done by applying to the workers the compensation of 20 days per year worked that the Popular Party approved in its labor reform.

The measures that have been branded so many times as “labor terrorism” will now be appropriate to avoid an economic bankruptcy in the organization. The unions themselves, UGT and Comisiones Obreras, which have called so many general strikes against the Rajoy government, have already done it on other occasions, so it cannot surprise us that Podemos does the same. They can continue to cry out in the future against the greed of businessmen, whom they consider to be evil beings by nature. And they can launch new campaigns of harassment against the owners of some of our best companies, such as Amancio Ortega or Juan Roig, but they would all like to maintain job stability for so many thousands of workers for decades. If the Romans said that “justice is the habit of giving each his own”, there is an adequate portion of the demagogy of Podemos.

“In Vox, the Falangist and populist sector has triumphed. And that's always bad.”. PP leaders exhibit in private what they are silent in public about the short and medium-term consequences of the departure of Iván Espinosa from the Monteros de Vox, after the hard wing of the party organically imposed the liberal faction headed by the former parliamentary spokesman, relegated in the last months. In the popular direction, they already looked with suspicion at the weight that the current number two of Santiago Abascal had gained in the formation located to his right and now they fear that the imposition of that current will vitiate not only the relationship with Alberto Núñez Feijóo, but also the governance agreements that both forces share in several autonomies and dozens of large municipalities.

Cuca Gamarra avoided assessing this Wednesday the impact that the incipient crisis in Vox could have on the right-wing block, where a kind of internal rebellion begins to appear due to the “surrender”, in the eyes of the popular, of the “pragmatic” Abascal to Buxadé. In private, however, the sources consulted point out that the resignation of Espinosa de los Monteros deprives them of an interlocutor in Vox “with whom they can talk”, and there is even concern that it could destabilize the territorial pacts that have already been closed in autonomous regions. such as Extremadura, the Valencian Community or Aragon.

PP and Vox have closed separate coalition pacts in these regions, but popular officials from various territories warn that “the entire legislature” still remains. They also glimpse an “ideological turn” that can “radicalize” some discourses, for example in relation to immigration or gender violence. This last matter forced Genoa to strike a balance during the negotiation of the regional executives, in which it accepted the Vox clauses related to intra-family violence, but maintained its commitments to sexist violence..

Abascal's party governs in four autonomies after forcing Feijóo to cede councils in exchange for his votes. The popular leader hit a wall when he tried, unsuccessfully, to limit the agreements to a programmatic roadmap. A few weeks ago, the popular leadership complained about the intrusion of the Vox leadership in Madrid in territorial agreements and claimed to find “better predisposition” in its regional representatives than in the Bambú headquarters. “The Buxadé current only seeks to destroy the PP,” they complained.

What Genoa will not compromise with is the ordeal that Vox has launched in the Region of Murcia. In Feijóo's party they believed that what happened in this territory would determine “which faction prevails” in Abascal's party: if the practice or the radical. The resignation of Iván Espinosa de los Monteros has cleared up all doubts in the ranks of the popular, and they see it as difficult to solve the equation in this territory without the call for elections. In the PP, they insist that the case of Fernando López Miras is “different” from that of the rest of the autonomies, since the popular baron was only two seats away from the absolute and only needs the abstention of Vox. In Abascal's environment they reiterate their rejection: either councils or polls.

“Abascal was a member of the PP, he has always had a greater party culture. He knows what can and cannot be done”, they analyze among the popular, who lament the weight that the leader has given to the most “ultra” sectors, with a hermetic nucleus made up of Jorge Buxadé, Ignacio Hoces and Enrique Cabanas. They also highlight the “excellent relationship” of their spokespersons with Espinosa de los Monteros, and point out that his departure and that of other positions from the liberal wing such as Víctor Sánchez del Real or Rubén Manso from the lists could also make their relationship more difficult in the Congress.

Last Sunday, Vox formally promised that it would vote in favor of the possible investiture of Feijóo without asking for anything in return, with the aim of not being an “obstacle” when putting together an alternative to the majority of Sánchez.. But there is another negotiation in sight in which the PP can sweat to get the votes of its partners. Genoa aspires to control the presidency of Congress to stone a possible legislature of the left, and will formalize these days the contacts with the parliamentary forces to tie up the support. As published by El Confidencial, Vox limits Feijóo's free support to the investiture, and warns that any deal with the PP in this regard involves maintaining its representation quota in the parliamentary body. With Espinosa out, the popular will have to deal with a parliamentary group controlled by the new counterweights of Vox.

All in all, in the PP they believe that “in the medium term” the internal crisis of Vox can benefit them, and they reinforce the idea of a possible transfer of votes from Abascal's party to his bag in the event of an electoral repetition. The ultra-conservative party already left 19 seats in the general elections on July 23, and in Genoa they believe that this fall will increase if neither Sánchez nor Feijóo manage to undo the blockade and the country goes to the polls again. However, some voices encourage the leadership of the PP to keep a cool mind in the face of this assumption. First, because it is possible that the Vox voter who is disenchanted with Abascal's turn will go to abstention; and second, because an excessive collapse of Vox makes impossible, again, the sum in the block on the right.

A two-year-old boy died this Wednesday by drowning in a private pool in the Seville town of La Campana in circumstances that are still unknown.

The Civil Guard has confirmed the death, which occurred around 4:30 p.m., when 112 received a call asking for urgent help for a child who could not breathe.

The notice came from a house located about 500 meters from the town center of the Seville municipality. The Emergency service even mobilized a helicopter for his transfer, but it was not possible to save his life.

A 3-year-old girl died this Wednesday by drowning in a pool in the Murcian town of San Javier, as reported by 112.

The event took place around 5:30 p.m. in the Collados Beach urbanization, at kilometer 18 of La Manga del Mar Menor.

The girl had been rescued semi-conscious and oxygen was applied until the arrival of the toilets, who took her by ambulance to the Santa Lucía hospital in Cartagena, where she finally died.

A man died this Wednesday after suffering an accident with a jet ski in the sea, in the waters of the Malaga town of Fuengirola, in front of the Rey de España promenade.

The accident, as reported by the 112 Andalusia Emergency service, occurred outside the bathing area, on the high seas, around 4:40 p.m., when two occupants of a jet ski suffered an accident without another vessel involved.

In the emergency, members of the Local Police, National Police, Civil Guard, Maritime Rescue and the 061 Health Emergency Center have intervened, which have certified the death of one of the occupants of the jet ski. The armed institute has activated the judicial protocol to clarify the circumstances of the event.

The return to work of the Constitutional Court next September will be marked by a new controversy: the decision of the Holiday Chamber, by two votes to one, to reject Carles Puigdemont's attempt to annul the national arrest warrant against him. The opinion of this Wednesday has provoked the anger of the progressive sector, which considers that it was not an urgent matter and should have waited for the rest of the magistrates. During the last six years, all the resources related to the process had been unanimously admitted for further debate in plenary session, criticize sources in this sector.

The discontent is aggravated by the fact that the decision was adopted by a majority that, they point out, is circumstantial. The plenary of the court is made up of seven progressive magistrates against four conservatives since last January, but, in the Holiday Room, the forces are distributed in favor of the latter. In this way, the inadmissibility of Puigdemont's appeal has gone ahead with two votes in favor of the conservatives César Tolosa and Concepción Espejel, and one against the progressive Laura Díez, who considers the “rush” of the pronouncement unjustified.

The Constitutional Court Prosecutor's Office has already announced that it will appeal this decision, so the debate will end up reaching the plenary session next September. According to the sources consulted, the Public Ministry also does not consider that there were no reasons of special urgency to reject Puigdemont's appeal: “It is not, therefore, a matter to be removed from the ordinary decisions of the court”.

individual vote

The two conservative magistrates of the Vacation Chamber have defended, for their part, that the appeal should be resolved without waiting for the rest of the colleagues because Puigdemont requested that the national arrest warrant be annulled in a very precautionary manner. As they have concluded, they had to rule on what would happen in a hypothetical scenario in which the former Catalan president set foot on Spanish soil this August. “Unlike the majority opinion, I do not consider that the simple request for precautionary measures by the appellants justifies in itself the need to decide on the admission of a matter by the Vacation Section”, criticizes. “I consider that, in addition to the request, there must be urgency in making a decision on these precautionary measures so that the granting or not of the same can make the protection lose its purpose”.

Having exposed this reasoning, Díez considers that it was not possible to rule on the arrest warrants for two reasons: “First, the appellants are not in Spanish territory, the only place where the decreed orders can be executed”. “Secondly, there cannot be an effective violation of rights that must be protected, since the appellants carry out their representative functions outside the national territory”.

Having ruled out the urgency, the magistrate also distances herself from her own decision to reject Puigdemont's appeal, which clung to the supposed parliamentary immunity that she enjoys for holding a seat in the European Parliament. The General Court of the EU (TGUE) ruled on July 5 that Puigdemont no longer enjoys this special protection, but, as the decision is still appealable, Díez considers that his arguments should have been analyzed more carefully.

“This decision that flatly rules out immunity is not that of an admission process,” he criticizes in the private vote. “Given the lack of firmness of the resolution of the General Court, in this procedure the existence of a possibility of violation of the right that justifies the admission of the appeal should be recognized”. “To this it should be added that this legal issue that has not yet been resolved by the Constitutional Court is an issue that transcends the specific case, as it raises a legal issue of relevant and general repercussion”.

Metro de Madrid will cut line 12 —which connects the southern cities of the community— for five months in mid-2024. The reason is the extension of line 3 to El Casar, west of the municipality of Getafe. However, the cut will include only three stations: Juan de la Cierva, El Casar and Los Espartares, as it appears in the Official Gazette of the Community of Madrid (Bocam) and as confirmed by the Ministry of Transport. These will remain disabled until the expansion work is completed at the end of that year..

In fact, the closure as such has not been published, but rather the replacement transport contract for this section. It will be an alternative bus service to cover the three mentioned stations. It is estimated that it will operate for 153 days and the bidding budget for the project amounts to 649,000 euros..

Once the works are finished, MetroSur will gain its second connection with the capital's metro network. At the moment, there is only one transfer at the Joaquín Vilumbrales station, which allows travelers to take line 10 in the direction of Madrid. When the extension of L3 is finished, the El Casar station will also have a connection with the yellow line, which communicates directly with Puerta del Sol.

The Community of Madrid calculates that the expansion of the line will affect more than one million users. In total, more than two and a half kilometers of network will be expanded and the total execution period will exceed two years. The Ministry anticipates that some 9,200 travelers will make use of this new network. The expansion is part of the Central Government's Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan through the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure.

Currently, MetroSur is the main means of communication for residents to the south. Although the suburban network connects the municipalities with the capital, the metro is the fastest option to travel between Getafe, Fuenlabrada, Móstoles, Leganés and Alcorcón.

In an interview in Castilla-La Mancha Media, García-Page lamented that the governorship “depends on a fugitive from Justice, on something that can really decide in the State without giving up ending the State, it is sad in general terms”.

Although he says he does not know what is going through Pedro Sánchez's head, he has pointed out that the PP “has married Vox much more than Feijóo wanted”, something that in the end has made Vox become “a black beast in Spanish politics and a perfect alibi to try to whitewash other types of extremism”. García-Page, who claims to “hate all extremes”, defends “common sense” as “the most reasonable thing” before a legislature that “without a doubt, if it opens up, if there is an investiture”, will be the “most vertiginous and roller coaster” of which he has lived.

Faced with “many unknowns”, he assures that he does not know what will be the approaches on which an agreement can be reached with the independentistas of Junts since the right “does not add up”. All in all, he believes that “the logic that there will not be a second election will prevail”, but in Spain “the people have spoken” and even so they do not dare to “label” the result of the general elections. “It gives the impression that nobody has won”. “Sovereignty has been expressed but the message is not clear. The citizen does not fully understand what is being said”, has indicated.

Regarding the negotiations to form the Board of the Congress of Deputies, he hopes that it will be “a reflection of the majority and the plurality” of Parliament, but the Presidency must not be symbolic, since it is “the third authority of the State”. After regretting the resignation of Meritxell Batet to revalidate the Presidency, he assures that the PSOE must already have an alternative candidate, “as the PP will have on its side”. I understand that whoever wants to question it is not in a position to be the third authority”, has settled.

regional financing

Entering into the debate on regional financing, he has defended that it will have to be negotiated “multilaterally” with all the participants, and it must be clarified if “there will be one or several tables” to discuss this point. “The table has to be common with the singularities that are established, if not, it would break the principle of financial sufficiency,” he added, admitting that there are regions that are committed to population being a determining factor, while Castilla-La Mancha wants that take into account where this population is located and what it costs to bring them closer to basic services. The financial model “must reflect the sufficiency in the guarantee of the provision of basic State services”, according to the Castilian-Manchego president, who asks for this “to think of citizens, not of territory”.

• How to act before a heat stroke? The advice of an expert health
• The worst day of the heat wave is here: there are red notices from Aemet in these provinces of Spain

The third heat wave of summer hits Spain. Today Wednesday, many areas of the south, center and north of the peninsula maintain red and orange alerts in the face of high temperatures, and the authorities ask that care be taken. The forecast indicates that this episode of heat will last until Friday, August 11.

The Ministry of Health, in its official Twitter account, has recalled that, given the special warnings for heat issued by the State Meteorological Agency, citizens must follow several recommendations. They have summarized these tips in ten points, to avoid health problems related to heat, such as heat stroke or sunstroke.

🚨 Special notice @AEMET_Esp for #Heatwave

🔸Follow the recommendations of the Ministry of Health

The most logical recommendation is to drink water or fluids frequently, even if you don't feel thirsty. In this way, we will stay hydrated, since with the heat the body loses water faster. Of course, the Ministry of Health clarifies that very sugary drinks, alcoholic or caffeinated drinks should be avoided, since these can aggravate a dehydration picture.

These are easy practices to follow.

The Ministry of Health recalls that we must pay special attention to the people most sensitive to heat, such as children, the elderly, pregnant women and the chronically ill. It is recommended that, during the hottest hours of the day, we stay in cool, shaded or air-conditioned areas
