A 23-year-old man was seriously injured this Thursday when he was stabbed in the Arganzuela district and suffered four stab wounds to the arm and back. The events occurred around 12:30 p.m. on Manuel Aleixandre street, in the vicinity of its confluence with Plaza de Legazpi, sources from Madrid Emergencies have informed Europa Press.

For reasons that are being investigated, the young man has been stabbed in the back and arm. Specifically, he had two stab wounds in the lower back and on the shoulder, under the scapula, initially non-penetrating..

In addition, he had two other stab wounds to his left arm, both with orthopedic and vascular involvement.. Two physicians who were walking in the area attended the wounded man at first, putting a tourniquet on him until the health personnel arrived..

Once in the place, toilets from the Samur Civil Protection have continued with the health care and have stabilized him. After that, they have transferred the young man to Hospital 12 de Octubre, where he has been admitted with a serious prognosis..

National Police agents have taken over the investigation to try to determine the circumstances in which the stabbing occurred. Members of the Municipal Police have also attended, who have collaborated in the work.

The head of the Investigating Court number 2 of Utrera (Seville), competent in gender violence, has ordered the entry into prison without bail for the husband of Erica Vanessa Reyes, the young Nicaraguan murdered last Monday in the Seville town.

Sources from the Superior Court of Justice of Andalusia (TSJA) have informed EFE that the person detained for these events will enter a Seville prison this Thursday, predictably in Seville II (Morón de la Frontera)..

Once this decision has been made, the alleged perpetrator of the events is under investigation and, throughout the investigation, it will be determined whether it is homicide or murder..

The detainee appeared before the judge after the sister of the deceased, Ana, and the victim's current partner did so, in a process that began at 10:00 in the morning, while the alleged murderer appeared at noon before the judge.

The detainee has refused to testify, an attitude he has maintained since he was arrested on Monday afternoon in a hostel in the Seville town. In fact, his appearance lasted only nine minutes, just enough time for his lawyer to communicate that he was not going to give a statement in accordance with the fundamental rights of article 24.2 of the Constitution..

The entry into prison has been requested by the Prosecutor's Office and endorsed by the family's lawyer, José Antonio Sires, who argued this Wednesday in statements to EFE that there could be a risk of flight if he is released.

The case is under summary secrecy, which was ruled last Tuesday, 24 hours after the events occurred.. Erica Vanessa Reyes, 22, who had not denounced her attacker for ill-treatment, was found dead on Monday, July 31, at her home with a strong blow to the head..

The perpetrator of the murder is presumably her husband, a 43-year-old Ecuadorian man who fled and was found hiding in a hostel on Monday, according to sources close to the investigation..

• The ultimate trick to avoid being robbed at summer parties: you only need two things
• The Civil Guard trick to protect your mobile in case of theft

Summer vacation is synonymous with relaxation and rest. However, this tranquility disappears when you have to leave home to travel or go to the beach for a few days.. The fear of a robbery in our absence is one of the main concerns during these months. If you want to avoid any assault on your home, take note of the advice of the Civil Guard.

In the summer, thieves have more facilities to enter a house and take everything of value. For this reason, the agents remember that the objective is to find a way to make it appear that it is not empty.

This is how you should protect your home

Therefore, the first thing they advise when you go on vacation is to notify a trusted relative or neighbor so that they can take care of raising and lowering the blinds and pick up your mail.. These are two clues that thieves use to find out if someone is home. If you do not know anyone who can protect your property in this way, the Civil Guard recommends the use of devices that allow you to program the lights on and off.

Thus, “your absence will be less evident”, they point out through their official TikTok account. It should look like it's inhabited. The best way not to leave your vacation plans on a plate to thieves is not to upload information on when and where you are going to your social networks.

In addition, they also point out that travelers should be attentive to their belongings if they travel. “Avoid showing jewelry, cash or expensive devices,” they warn those who go to tourist areas, especially.

Crowded streets can hide more than one pickpocket hiding under the guise of another tourist. These individuals have the ability to reach into your bag or backpack without you noticing to keep your wallet and everything in it..

If self-use of marijuana is not a crime, what prevents setting up an association in which dozens of people can purchase and smoke this drug together?. Unity is strength or, at least, lowers costs, and that is the logic on which the hundreds of cannabis clubs that operate in Spain revolve: take advantage of the legal vacuum, set up a smoking room and leave the Police at the door.. Impunity seems clear, but the Supreme Court has just recalled the limits of “shared consumption” in a recent ruling.

The magistrates explain that the Penal Code excludes the consumption of marijuana in itself, but this does not mean that any action “aimed at promoting, favoring or facilitating it” should be prosecuted and punished.. If this reasoning is extended to “shared consumption”, then cannabis associations appear, but also “very strict conditions” to prevent their conversion into points of sale. The Supreme specifically points to six rules.

In the first place, “consumers must all be addicts to exclude the reprehensible purpose of disclosing consumption”. Secondly, “the community that participates in this consumption must be made up of a small number of people that allows us to consider that we are dealing with an intimate act without public significance”. And, thirdly, “consumers must be specifically identified”, both to guarantee the first rule —”their personal conditions”— and the second —”properly control the number”—.

Having clarified who, the court affects three other rules on how: “Consumption must take place in a closed place or, at least, hidden from the contemplation of third parties, to avoid, with that example, the disclosure of such a harmful practice” ; “the amount must be small or insignificant or, at least, minimal and adequate for consumption in a single session or meeting”, and “it must be immediate consumption”.

According to the Supreme Court, the possibility of extending this doctrine of “shared consumption” to associations that last over time “are very rare” and, despite what some of its promoters defend, in no case does it lead to proclaiming “the legality current (!) of cannabis clubs”. The exclamation marks in the quote are harvested by the magistrates themselves.

A practical example

The Supreme Court reviews these rules by confirming the sentence of four people in charge of a cannabis association in Catalonia called Green Shark. In December 2019, the Provincial Court of Barcelona imposed sentences of between three and four years in prison for a crime against public health and another for illegal association, but they appealed pointing to shared consumption. “Neither in its foundation nor in its detailed requirements can this coverage doctrine be used for associative initiatives for the distribution of cannabis,” warns the Supreme Court.

His sentence explains that shared consumption cannot be extrapolated to a “methodical, institutionalized structure, with a vocation of permanence and open to the successive integration” of new members, but must be understood as a “shared consumption between friends or acquaintances” in which “one is in charge of obtaining the drug with the contribution of all”. Therefore, there is no room for the professionalization of shared consumption, regardless of whether it is for profit or simply for free dissemination: as long as it implies a “risk to public health”, it will be prosecuted.

In practice, this doctrine corners many of the cannabis clubs in Spain, where the number of members exceeds a hundred and the purchase of different varieties of marijuana is allowed: you choose, pay and take it with you at the moment. The Police are aware of this, but the main problem they face lies precisely in their aforementioned professionalism, in the difficulty of demonstrating what happens inside these premises.. That is where strategies such as standing guard in front of the clubs come in, which consists of catching enough people leaving the place with marijuana to later request an entry and search warrant..

“Alerted by the constant movement of people entering and leaving the premises, the Local Police carried out surveillance, identification and seizure of substances from the people who entered and left the premises during the month of May 2017”, explains the sentence on what happened with the association of Catalonia. Between the 15th and 17th of that month, four people were “apprehended” for marijuana or hashish, highlighting that one was a minor and two others did not show “any membership card.”. Once the Mossos d'Esquadra was informed, the duty court authorized entry in a matter of hours.

“In the registry, marijuana with a total gross weight of 483 grams (four hundred eighty-three grams) was intervened, divided into various containers,” explains the sentence.. “Since its foundation, the referrals sold marijuana and hashish indiscriminately to consumers of such a substance, who went there to provide themselves”. As soon as they passed the doors of the premises, the club and its managers were doomed to condemnation.

The defenses later tried to annul the search warrant, but the Supreme Court considers that there were sufficient reasons: “People leaving the cannabis premises (one of them, a minor), neighborhood complaints and the result of surveillance”. It also recalls that the requirements to authorize a search in “a place open to the public” and “home of a legal person” are less than those that must come together “to invade the home of an individual”. In these cases, the associations cannot hold on to the same “intimacy and privacy” arguments.

Internal government WhatsApps reveal the fear in Moncloa of Moroccan attacks on immigration policy like the one suffered by Ceuta in May 2021. El Confidencial has had access to the communications that the Executive maintained with the authorities of the autonomous city during that crisis that marked the high point of diplomatic tensions between Madrid and Rabat. The Ceuta Administration asked to distribute the migrants throughout the peninsula, but Moncloa refused because they could not send that message to Morocco: “You have to think that another wave of arrivals in Ceuta or another territory would be even more tremendous”. In these communications, in addition, the Government of Pedro Sánchez admitted that the massive entry of people led him to seek “a political strategy with Morocco”. The conflict ended almost a year later with the recognition of the autonomy of the neighboring country over Western Sahara..

These confidential conversations were on the mobile phone of the vice president of Ceuta, Mabel Deu, prosecuted together with the former government delegate Salvadora Mateos. They are accused of having committed a crime of continued prevarication by illegally returning to Morocco 55 minors who entered Spain in that massive entry two years ago now. Mabel Deu has provided the court with her wasaps with Moncloa, with the Ministry of Social Affairs, directed by Ione Belarra, and with the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migrations. There are hundreds of messages maintained at the highest level around one of the most sensitive points of the legislature, the relationship with Morocco and immigration policy.. The most fluid contact occurred with the former Chief of Staff of Vice President Carmen Calvo, Isabel Valldecabres.

Communication between Deu and Valldecabres began on May 19, 2021. “We are requesting the Army,” the vice president of Ceuta wrote to the senior Moncloa official. “And me!” Replied the right hand of Carmen Calvo. Two days earlier, the border with Ceuta was the scene of a massive entry of people due to the passivity of the Moroccan security forces, who did nothing to prevent it.. The authorities described the events as an “invasion” and estimated 12,000 people who accessed illegally. Among them were at least a thousand minors.. Ceuta has a population of 84,000 inhabitants and its local government declared itself overwhelmed. In the messages held by this newspaper, it can be seen that there were several requests for express help made to the central Executive.

Mabel Deu's last request for help took place on June 29, 2021, a month and a half after Morocco opened wide the migratory tap on the border city: “Good morning Bela (Isabel Valldecabres), is there any news? ? The situation is really chaotic, and we cannot make more calls for help and help and we do not see any change in this”. Carmen Calvo's number two did not answer until four days later: “Mabel, we continue to press for Morocco to accept minors. You have to maintain that objective because whatever your minors leave Ceuta will take away our strength… we understand the situation, but you also have to think that another wave of arrivals in Ceuta or another territory will be even more tremendous”.

Carmen Calvo's chief of staff went further when it came to justifying the blockade situation and confessed that the solution with the migrants was linked to a long-range agreement with Rabat: “I understand that you are overwhelmed with the situation there. We share the concern, but the Government has to establish a political strategy with Morocco”. In the previous weeks, the high office of Moncloa also showed that the massive entry of people into Ceuta was part of a more complex context, and that the Maghrebi authorities were torpedoing repatriations: “We are going to talk to the liaison magistrate in Morocco Let's see if we can organize a return of the children as soon as possible, but you know what attitude Morocco has now”. Days later, he insisted on this idea: “Mabel, we are speeding up the returns as much as possible but you know that it is not something that is never done quickly with Morocco and now less”.

That massive entry occurred just a few weeks after the Spanish Government received the leader of the Polisario Front, Brahim Ghali, Morocco's number one enemy in its dispute over control of Western Sahara, in a hospital in Logroño.. The events on the Ceuta border further strained relations on both sides of the Strait. It ended precisely with a letter published in Moroccan media, according to which, the Executive of Pedro Sánchez recognizes the autonomy of Rabat over the territory, a former Spanish colony. From the Executive they announced a new era in the relations of both nations with special attention to the control of migratory flows.

In that period of diplomatic tension, it was learned that President Sánchez was spied on with the Pegasus program.. Also the Ministers of Defense and Interior, Margarita Robles and Fernando Grande-Marlaska. The attacks occurred between the months of May and June 2021, in the midst of an escalation of tension and with the city of Ceuta overwhelmed. There is no evidence that Morocco was behind this attack on the cell phone of the leader of the Spanish Executive, but there are reports and investigations that place Rabat among the clients of the Israeli company that distributes the Pegasus program.. The National Court opened some proceedings to investigate the case, but has recently filed them due to Israel's lack of collaboration.

Carmen Calvo left the Government in July of that year in the framework of a reshuffle in which Minister José Luis Ábalos also left the Cabinet. His chief of staff left the position with Calvo, who was no longer at Moncloa when, in mid-August, the repatriations of minors began. Justice has already determined in contentious-administrative proceedings that that repatriation was illegal, and now it is being investigated through criminal proceedings as an alleged crime of prevarication. In the messages that Mabel Deu has provided to the court, there is no relevant information about those days in August, but the relationship she had with Moncloa weeks before shows, as this newspaper announced, that Interior was at all times behind the idea of handing over to minors at the border.

“Now we can bend the hand of the Prosecutor's Office”

“Interior insists that if you make a request from your entity that the minors be returned, they start managing it,” Valldecabres told the vice president of Ceuta from Madrid on June 22. Being minors, specific guarantees were necessary that are not required of adults. “The prosecutor is causing problems,” warned the senior Moncloa official, which is why she insisted: “If you tell Interior that you authorize their delivery to Morocco, they can request it (…). A letter to the Government Delegation will suffice”. “Morocco has said that they have to return and we have to invent the procedure. If you request the return, we can bend the hand of the Prosecutor's Office ”, they added from Moncloa.

The events finally happened as both leaders spoke. On August 10, the Ministry of the Interior definitively activated the return of the minors by means of a letter sent to the Government Delegation. From the department directed by Fernando Grande-Marlaska they allege that it was not an order, but rather an unofficial request and that it was made at the request of the city of Ceuta. Instead of being governed by the Immigration Law, Spain and Morocco sought to streamline procedures by resorting to a bilateral agreement signed in 2007 on immigration that had never been used before.. The defendants, Mabel Deu and the Government delegate, affirmed in court that everything was decided from Madrid.

In the messages that work in the case, it can be seen that at the beginning they even considered the possibility of housing the most vulnerable migrants in military barracks, but they ruled it out from Madrid: “The barracks thing, unthinkable, there are 3,300 soldiers, weapons, etc. I know that they have been able to welcome the civil guards who have gone there, but they are civil guards, not minors in those conditions “. Finally, they opted for warehouses and sports halls, but the messages show the chaos that surrounded the management: “Last night 13 more escaped from the isolation warehouse, which could be returned but there was a leak with a terrible fall inside a nearby warehouse with intervention of firefighters and transfer to the Hospital, he finds himself with significant polytrauma, critical in the ICU, this is terrible and devastating”.

In the documents that Mabel Deu has sent to the court, it can be seen that there are deleted messages and others derived from that crisis, such as the lack of harmony between the two souls of the coalition Executive. The ministry headed by the leader of Podemos, Ione Belarra, formally opposed the handing over of minors under these conditions and expressed it up to two times in writing. Although in the summary there are direct messages between Mabel Deu and Belarra, her interlocutor was the Secretary of State for Social Rights, Ignacio Álvarez. From Moncloa they transmitted to Ceuta that the role of this trusted man of Podemos was not relevant: “Oh, Mabel, in confidence, Nacho is offside in this and it better be that way”. Despite this, the right hand of Carmen Calvo wanted to know what were the movements of her government partner in this crisis. “What is he transmitting to you?” he asked Mabel Deu in Valldecabres. Both agreed to speak later, and the answer does not appear in the transcript of the messages.

Publicly, the Government does not question Morocco's actions in immigration matters, but internally the Executive does assume the destabilizing power of the neighboring country with immigration. At least that is the thesis that the State Attorney maintained in the case to defend the delegate of the Government of Ceuta in the judicial process. According to the legal services of the Government, the difference with other irregular entries of migrants in the autonomous city was “the participation and facilitation of the Kingdom of Morocco in the illegal access” and “the well-known situation of deception that motivated the entry of many of minors, as well as the profile of migrants”. The scenario in this case was the separation border fence with Melilla. Dozens of sub-Saharans, mostly Sudanese, lost their lives trying to access European territory. Moroccan security forces fired gas canisters at them, and the crowd crowded over a fence at the Chinatown pass that gave way under the weight and caused a deadly avalanche.. When the full scope of the tragedy was not yet known, Pedro Sánchez —on vacation these days in Morocco— described the events as well resolved. Days later, he qualified that, when he uttered those words, he had not seen the images of what happened, but he asked to put himself in the shoes of all those involved, including the Moroccan gendarmes. The Executive has never held the neighboring country accountable for what happened on the shared border.

The pressures brought about by the general elections on July 23 still hide unexpected surprises. For example, this simplicity that we had not noticed: whoever does not recognize the king does not count before the king. And Felipe VI is, at this moment of constitution of the new Cortes Generales, the key figure of the Spanish institutional architecture because he is the head of State and, therefore, the only one who proposes which candidate should try to form a Government. If a parliamentary group does not recognize the figure of His Majesty the King, they simply do not count his intentions when calculating who is the candidate with the most support to be sworn in as Prime Minister. It is a tradition in Spain, in this parliamentary monarchy that accepts and protects even those who want to destroy it, that the spokesmen for the Basque and Catalan independence groups do not attend the round of contacts that the head of state initiates to comply with the Constitution.

A few days ago, for those who have forgotten, an old video of the spokespersons for the Basque, Catalan and Galician separatists began to circulate again on social networks, at the beginning of the last legislature (February 2020), in which They showed their direct rejection of the parliamentary monarchy. What they did was not attend the solemn opening session of the XIV legislature, to plant the King, and, instead, in one of the rooms of the Congress, they read a declaration that said, literally: “The king is not a valid interlocutor, nor does it have the legitimacy of our peoples, nor do we recognize any political role for it”.

Days before that declaration, in the round of consultations called by Felipe VI, they all did the same, did not attend the appointment and planted the King. The advantage, then, of Pedro Sánchez was that the votes of all of them were not decisive for the head of state to clearly interpret that the socialist candidate had more support to govern, because the pact with the United Podemos conglomerate was already being forged. , and, above all, because there was an enormous distance with the block of the center right. there was no doubt. On this occasion, however, the circumstances have changed because the two theoretical blocks are balanced in terms of the number of deputies, although with a decisive advantage in favor of Pedro Sánchez. But, if the independentista deputies do not tell the head of state that they are determined to vote for the socialist candidate in the investiture, what happens? In order not to remain in doubt, we have transferred this same question to a renowned professor of Constitutional Law, Agustín Ruiz Robledo, and I transcribe here the question and answer to transcend speculation and troubles, so frequent these days.

ASK. If the representatives of Bildu, Junts and Esquerra do not attend the round of contacts called by the King, and, therefore, do not convey their intention to vote, would Felipe VI have to accept what Pedro Sánchez tells him as good, in the sense that it has those votes, or not to consider it valid?

ANSWER. Therefore, if they do not attend, they are breaching their constitutional obligation. In that case, I would consider that they should not be taken into account, they neither add nor subtract.

The problem for the acting president, Pedro Sánchez, is that, if the head of state maintains this same criterion, the sum of his block would be very far from the block of the center-right. If before the King only the representatives of Sumar and the PNV accredit their support for Pedro Sánchez, in addition, obviously, to the socialist deputies, they would only add 157 votes in his favor. However, the center-right bloc, including the Popular Party and Vox deputies, amount to 170 seats. The absence in the sum of the 20 deputies of Bildu, Esquerra and Junts, would simply throw away all the options of Pedro Sánchez to go first to the investiture, instead of Alberto Núñez Feijóo, as the right-wing leader is claiming for to have been the winner of the elections.

In the event that the PP candidate fails, as it seems to happen, in the next round of contacts, after two months, we would find ourselves, again, under the same circumstances, that the Sánchez bloc does not reach the essential minimum because the representatives of the independentistas do not recognize the role of the king as head of state. No one can propose himself before the Courts. It cannot be interpreted there that it is the socialist candidate who communicates to the King what the independentistas plan to vote, due to the many previous meetings they have held, much less that the Head of State takes into account the statements to the media of those who do not they go to their appointment. Nor is it imaginable, in the current circumstances, that the candidate and acting president, Pedro Sánchez, would attend the round of contacts called by Felipe VI with a document signed before a notary public by all of them, indicating the direction of their vote..

This article 99 of the Constitution, as explained by Professor Ruiz Robledo, is part of the incomplete regulations, in the sense that it establishes a procedure to appoint the President of the Government after elections, and from there the constitutional obligations of all actors, even if they are not specified. As it is to go to the round of contacts called by the head of state to inform him of his intentions to vote in an investiture session. It's called constitutional loyalty. So, what has been said, whoever does not recognize the king does not count before the king.

Zero energy or general blackout. All of La Gomera, 21,800 inhabitants, lost power around three in the morning last Sunday. The event has revealed the energy vulnerability of the Canary Islands. All the islands of the archipelago have isolated electrical systems, except for Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, which are interconnected, but the project for the construction of an underwater cable between La Gomera and Tenerife will make it possible to avoid episodes like the one experienced.

The cable will measure 36 kilometers and will reach a maximum depth of 1,145 meters. The project budget amounts to 114 million euros and is expected to be ready in 2025. According to Red Eléctrica de España (REE), which is executing the project, the cable is highly technically complex because it will be the deepest three-pole alternating submarine link in the world. This new link will be capable of generating and integrating a renewable contingent greater than the total demand of La Gomera, making it possible to reduce dependence on the El Palmar thermal power plant. In addition, the interconnection of the system will allow Tenerife to integrate the surplus of renewable generation from La Gomera, reducing its dependence on fossil fuels and contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.. From 2018 to 2022, renewable energies have gone from 10.52% to 20.13%.

The cable will consist of a 66 kV double-circuit line and, in addition to the 36-kilometre underwater section, it will have two underground terrestrial sections on the two islands, which will link the future electrical substation of Chío (Tenerife) with the new electrical substation from El Palmar (La Gomera). It will be done with a directed drilling technique, which introduces the cable into the sea through a microtunnel with an exit hundreds of meters from the coast, nullifying any effect on the biological communities of the drilling section..

The project will guarantee the security of the system and, for energy purposes, Tenerife and La Gomera will be a single island. Beyond the cable, the start-up of five wind farms is expected to generate more energy than that currently consumed by La Gomera, so the surplus can be transferred. The parks will be operated by Ecoener. “We are very proud of this construction milestone, the result of the efforts of so many people and of contributing to the La Gomera 100% Sustainable program,” defends the president of the energy company, Luis de Valdivia..

Responsible consumption

And, although this Wednesday all the residents of La Gomera had already recovered the supply, the Cabildo warned about the fragility of the system and asked that those expendable appliances, such as the oven, television or air conditioning, not be used. Endesa is now working on “strengthening” the supply, hence the arrival by sea of 12 generator sets that have been added to those already in operation and to the portable power station that, made up of six emergency groups, has already begun to be set up in El Palmar, reports EFE.

– Cabildo de La Gomera (@CabildoLaGomera) August 2, 2023

Work is also continuing “with a large human team” to try to remedy the damage suffered at the plant, a facility that had a capacity of 20 MW before Sunday's incident.. The figure “by far” exceeds the peak demand on the island, set at 9 MW, according to the Cabildo. However, despite the resumption of the electricity supply in its entirety, the institution has asked the population to make “responsible consumption” and use only “essential” electrical and electronic elements, therefore, it continues, even though the supply has been recovered , the system is unstable. The Civil Guard, for its part, continues to work to clarify the causes of the fire at the thermal power plant.

Every electoral night we are always reminded of that anecdote attributed to Carlos Salvador Bilardo, who, before the resolution by way of the coin toss of a tournament equal to everything, ordered his players to celebrate euphorically as soon as the referee opened his palm hand in hand no matter if it came up heads or tails. “Celebrate, that later it is very difficult for them not to agree with you,” he maintained.

On July 23, not all of them won, but they did strive to raise their arms and smile as the rogue Argentine coach ordered.. Of course, some have more reasons than others.. The day after the elections with the strangest campaign in memory has left us in Andalusia with certainties and doubts summarized in four portraits and four questions.

It was not the Catalonia of the PP

On July 23, it was a victory for the Andalusian PP that forces us to smile and leave the champagne cold in the fridge. Happy without showing off, what would Luis Aragonés say?. A victory without the forcefulness of those harvested in the regional and municipal elections. The announced blue tsunami lost strength when it reached the shore, appeased by the socialist mobilization and the ghost of a pact that curiously was driven away a year ago in a radically different way.

Therein lies the main analysis that the popular must make: why the fear of Vox was fought in June of last year by concentrating the vote in Juanma Moreno until granting him a historic absolute majority, and, instead, now it has made the PSOE grow.

The PP chained its third electoral victory in just one year, completing a cycle that confirms the change in trend, although it did not achieve the ambitious goal set of doubling the seats won in 2019 to reach 30. The distribution from 25 to 21 with the Socialists prevented him from becoming the locomotive that would take Alberto Núñez Feijóo to the Moncloa station. It did not have the decisive role that, for example, Catalonia played for the PSOE to resist.

A respite that does not avoid the debate in the PSOE

For those who have become used to losing, any small joy is cause for celebration.. That is why the joy of the Andalusian PSOE was completely understandable. Without reaching the euphoria experienced in Ferraz, but with an enormous satisfaction full of relief. A third defeat, but by the minimum, with the feeling of seeing a small light on a horizon that looked chestnut.

However, that respite cannot and should not hide a fundamental debate to face its future with some hope. Why are the Andalusian socialists not a serious government alternative today? When analyzing the last three electoral processes, the feeling is that it is incapable of setting the agenda or leading the debate and depends on external circumstances. In the regional elections, where he directly defended his proposal, he received a severe blow. In the municipal elections, he suffered the consequences of a campaign raised in a national key, an evident situation in Seville, where the vote to punish Pedro Sánchez tipped the scales until he lost the mayoralty. In the generals, he has noticed the impulse of the general reaction until saving the furniture.

Everything seems to happen in spite of and not because of. The leadership of Juan Espadas, who has never become indisputable, continues to be at the center of the comments. This last breath can serve as a starting point for a restart, although he needs to get out of the loser face, get out of the loop he's been in since 2019, and become an option, not just an opponent..

Settled in irrelevance

Since Vox set foot in the Andalusian Parliament, in what meant its premiere in a Chamber throughout Spain, it has embarked on an unstoppable journey towards irrelevance that has had its penultimate chapter with the loss of three deputies compared to 2019. First, it was unable to assert its indispensable support for the first investiture of Juanma Moreno and it did not have the slightest influence on the PP-Ciudadanos coalition government.. Later, with the absolute popular majority, it has adopted a paradoxical role, since it wants to oppose two bands and ends up sticking with the thick line and the striking headline that evaporates in a day.

The left to the left resists

Sumar has remained in the numbers that Unidas Podemos managed in 2019, repeating the same six deputies, driven by the pull of the representatives of Izquierda Unida thanks to its tradition and solid implantation in the community. Consolidated on firm electoral ground, it must face the pending issue of continuing to unify the left of the PSOE and take advantage of its stage of weakness to steal voters from it.

questions in the air

Why, having three clear examples of how to annul Vox in Andalusia, Madrid and Galicia, has the PP made the mistake of giving it air and mobilizing the vote of fear in favor of the PSOE?

Who is interested in pointing out what happened in Extremadura as the focus of the problem and not the case of Valencia, where the original sin was?

At what point did it seem like a good idea that Feijóo not go to the debate with the disastrous precedent of Javier Arenas on Canal Sur in 2012?

Will the proposal by Pilar González and Teresa Rodríguez go ahead after its bad result or will someone pick up the Andalusian baton?

A seven-year-old boy has been rescued and urgently evacuated to a hospital, with a serious prognosis, after falling from the fourth floor into the interior patio of a building in the Castellón town of Benicarló, according to sources from the Provincial Fire Department Consortium and the Ministry of health.

The accident, of which the causes and circumstances in which it occurred are unknown, took place this Wednesday afternoon after 4:00 p.m., when the little boy fell into Pere de Thous street for reasons that are being investigating, although everything indicates that it is an accident. Firefighters and emergency health personnel participated in the rescue of the minor.

The SAMU has taken the child to the Generalitat's medical helicopter, which in turn has evacuated him to the pediatric ICU of the General Hospital of Castellón to be treated urgently for the injuries he had, specifically a head injury and femur fracture.
