A 54-year-old driver has died in a traffic accident registered this Thursday afternoon on the GI-627 highway, as it passes through the Gipuzkoan town of Bergara. Two cars have been involved in the fatal accident that have collided head-on.

As reported by the Basque Department of Security, the crash took place around 6:10 p.m. today on the GI-627 road, as it passes through Bergara.

Despite the resuscitation maneuvers carried out by the toilets, the driver of the first vehicle, a 54-year-old man, had injuries incompatible with life and has died. The physician who went to the scene has certified the death of the injured person.

The second driver has been evacuated to the hospital with injuries of reserved prognosis. The road remains closed at eight in the evening in both directions and the Ertzaintza diverts traffic through the Osintxu neighborhood to speed up traffic.

The Ertzaintza has launched the corresponding investigation in order to clarify the circumstances of the tragic accident.

They had been partying through the bars in the center of Malaga and decided that there was no better way to end the night than to bathe in the sea and immortalize the moment with a souvenir photo.. It is the journey lived by a group of girls who surprised an individual who was supposedly photographing them when they were bathing on the beach in their underwear and topless.. Pictures he allegedly shared.

Police sources consulted by El Confidencial confirmed these facts, as well as the arrest of a 35-year-old man, of French origin, who is being investigated for a crime against privacy and whose mobile phone was intervened to analyze the material. that stored.

The police intervention took place at around 8:00 on Wednesday on the well-known La Malagueta beach, after a young woman contacted Room 091 to alert that, together with her friends, she was holding an individual who had apparently been photographing them without their authorization.

Several patrols of the National Police traveled to the place, whose components met with the young people and the individual to try to clarify what happened.. The victims, in their twenties and Spanish, said that at night they were having fun in the entertainment area of the city center and that, once they left the bar area, they decided to go to the beach with the intention of bathing and taking some photographs..

The aforementioned sources explained that the young women, not having a bathing suit, entered the sea in their underwear and practicing topless.. And then they met to take a group photo with which to immortalize the moment. So he told the group. One of the girls caught his attention and went to where he was, the sources consulted pointed out, adding that he asked the man to allow him to see the gallery of images. He lent himself and said that there were no photographs of them, but at that moment a Messenger message was observed on the screen informing them of the sending of an image of one of the victims.. Sources close to the case indicated that the photo was supposedly received by a friend of the person under investigation..

The agents ended up arresting the suspect, a 35-year-old French individual, for a crime against privacy and transferred him to the premises of the provincial police station to continue the proceedings.. The young women were also taken to police stations to file a complaint and give a statement..

This is the second case of similar characteristics that occurred in the capital of Malaga during that early morning. The first took place in Terminal 2 of the airport. Sources consulted by this newspaper explained that the victim, a Spanish woman who was preparing to catch a flight, was using the women's toilet when she felt something on top of her head.. Reflexively looking up, he saw a hand holding a mobile phone coming from one of the adjoining rooms.

“The victim hurriedly left the bathroom and surprised a man with his cell phone coming out of it,” according to the aforementioned body, which added that “a struggle began between the two in an attempt by the woman to get hold of the terminal to deliver it to police”. The detainee, a 27-year-old Italian, is being investigated as the alleged perpetrator of a crime of discovery and disclosure of secrets.

The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has admitted for processing the lawsuit for violation of fundamental rights that the former vice president of the Parliamentary Committee Josep Costa, from JxCat, filed against Spain for the case of disobedience in which he was finally acquitted.

In a resolution, to which EFE has had access this Thursday, the Strasbourg Court communicates to Costa the admission of his claim, for which reason he will send the Spanish Government a series of questions so that it can rule on the rights that the former Vox deputy believes that they have been violated in the case for disobedience to the Constitution that was judged by the Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia (TSJC).

In fact, Costa himself already announced his intention to go to the European courts when the TSJC, in the processing of issues prior to the trial, refused to annul the process for disobedience against him, which for this reason decided to abandon the hearing -in the that he represented himself, as a lawyer – and denounced that the procedure was a “drill”.

Finally, in a decision that the Prosecutor's Office has appealed, the TSJC acquitted Costa and the rest of the defendants -among them the former president of the Parliament and current Minister of Business Roger Torrent- by ruling out that they disobeyed the Constitution when processing sovereignist resolutions and disapproval of the monarchy, because they did not have “continuity” with respect to the unilateral process of independence that began in 2015.

Specifically, Josep Costa alleged in his lawsuit that various articles of the Human Rights Convention had been violated in his process, such as its parliamentary inviolability, which in his opinion amounts to “intolerable interference” in the independence of the Catalan chamber.

He also denounced the demand for a lack of impartiality on the part of the TSJC judges who tried him, as well as the Constitutional Court magistrates who annulled the sovereignist resolutions and disapproval of the monarchy that the Board chaired by Roger Torrent allowed to vote..

During the summer months the coasts are filled with bathers from all over Spain, especially those who do not have a beach in their community. Madrid is one of the cities that empties the most of those who flee the heat of the asphalt to get into the water. However, some are not very satisfied with the state of the marine environment.

A boy from Madrid has gone viral after criticizing the water on one of the beaches in the Valencian Community when a reporter asks him what he thought of the Denia beach. But the response that was not expected was neither the journalist from the Apala 9 program nor the users in networks, who have attacked the people of Madrid.

A man from Madrid criticizes the Denia beach

The reporter approached a bather to find out how he was spending his holidays and why he liked this coastal destination. “It's the first time I've come, but I don't like it,” he says to the surprise of the interviewer, who tries to find out why he didn't like it.. “Look at the shit out there.. Plug it in with the camera, let the Valencian Community clean it,” he comments on camera.

The reporter clarifies that they are algae and that “it has nothing to do with cleaning”. “That's nature, that's like when you go to the mountains and it's all full of weeds,” he adds.. Although the boy insists that “there are beaches that are clean, this is not”. The presenters want to know where he comes from and he answers that he is from Madrid. “In Madrid, we can't find beaches like this,” the reporter blurts out, which causes laughter on the set. The networks have applauded the journalist's response and his defense of the Denia beach.

Of these in Denia you find them kicking, they do not know that this beach is in front of a natural aquatic park of Posidonia. But they are there with their faces to complain and give their opinion about what they don't know.

Some have taken the opportunity to lash out at tourists from the capital: “In Galicia we also hate you. Not you, but the average tourist from Madrid, who coincidentally shares that attitude of superiority and condescension.”

The National Police have arrested a man in Alcoy (Alicante) for allegedly threatening to “set himself on fire to burn the entire mountain and the agents”.

The man impregnated himself with gasoline and it was his wife who warned that he had not taken his medication for several days and that he had left the house with a gasoline can, a lighter, an ax, and a knife..

The events were recorded on July 26 at the wee hours of the morning and room CIMACC-091 notified the Citizen Attention Group of the National Police Station in Alcoy, as reported by the National Police in a statement..

The woman warned of what had happened “fearing that she could harm someone or herself” and the agents began “quickly” to look for this person who had moved to the vicinity of the Fuente de la Salud in Alcoy with his private vehicle. When I got to the car, there was no one, but there was a note on the windshield that read: “I'm at the Source of Health, I'll wait for you there, dogs”.

From that moment on, the National Police officers and a local police force, who went to the scene in support, adopted the necessary self-protection measures in these cases and began to head towards the Fuente de la Salud where the disappeared person was presumably, while he was they called by name.

The detainee, upon hearing the police shouting his name, replied saying: “Here I am dogs, you will not be left alive”. At that time, the agents located him and visualized. They were able to observe that this person was in a mountainous area with lush vegetation around him and was also impregnated with gasoline all over his body.. The man held with one hand a can with more gasoline and in the other a lighter with which he made gestures to use it and set himself on fire..

The National Police agents, in a quick and coordinated maneuver, managed to distract the man's attention while the other ran up to take advantage of his carelessness and knock him down before he could set himself on fire with the lighter.

In addition, the troops found near the detainee, a large knife and an axe. The detainee was admitted to the Virgen de los Lirios Hospital waiting to be evaluated by the psychiatric service.

The Polisario Front described this Thursday the trip of the acting president, Pedro Sánchez, and his family to Marrakech as a sign of their “indisputable support” for Morocco.

Through a statement, the representative in Spain of the Saharawi Front, Abdulah Arabi, stressed that, despite Moncloa's explanations that the trip is private, the truth is that “it entails enormous political content”..

Thus, the statement points out that the Moroccan press itself interprets Sánchez's trip as a sign of his “absolute support for the illegitimate claim maintained by Morocco regarding Western Sahara.”.

For Arabi, the choice of the acting president's holiday destination is also “the only fact with which Morocco can aspire to get out of the difficult legal situation” in which it finds itself by negotiating with the EU the fishing in the Sahara as if it were in moroccan waters.

Thus, despite the fact that Moncloa “has insisted on limiting this trip to the strictly private sphere”, said election “carries with it enormous political content, which goes far beyond the private sphere”, he stressed.

The Local Police and Firefighters of the Zaragoza City Council have moved to the rural neighborhood of Movera because of a forest burning that has affected the CAI Torrevirreina Ozanam Farm School and has caused the death of at least twelve calves.

The forest burning took place on San Ramón street -about 600 meters from the Granja Escuela-, and it is unknown if it was fortuitous or not. Although the fire has not reached the farm, it has caused the death of twelve calves, “perhaps due to smoke inhalation”, they have reported from Zaragoza Fire Department.

The troops have received notice of the fire around 3:00 p.m. and two fire trucks have come to the scene -a tango and a nurse-, in addition to agents of the Local Police.

Both the Local Police and Firefighters of the Zaragoza City Council are currently investigating the causes of the event.
