The Civil Guard has arrested on Monday the two men of Portuguese nationality, wanted since Saturday for their alleged involvement in the violent death of a 57-year-old woman, whose body was found in a well on a farm she owns in the town of Reliegos, a town in the Leonese municipality of Santas Martas.

As reported to EFE by sources close to the investigation, the arrest occurred in the Leonese town of San Justo de la Vega, some 70 kilometers from Reliegos..

The two detainees had resided for the last few weeks in the victim's house, which used to take in people who helped him with agricultural work on the organic farm that he cultivated in Reliegos and were the main suspects in his death..

A friend of the victim was the one who reported the disappearance of Katia SP on Friday night, since she was surprised not to hear anything from her since early in the morning of that day, and a search operation was established that concluded early on Saturday afternoon with the discovery of the body in a well located on a farm where the victim was engaged in organic farming. The Civil Guard rescued the body and the judge who has taken charge of the case decreed summary secrecy.

The first indications pointed to the alleged link of those now detained with the violent death of the woman, since they had not been seen in the town since Friday, and also from the Government Sub-delegation it was reported that there was no history of gender violence nor does it seem, in principle, that it is the cause of the event.

The Ministry of Health has detected two new probable cases of botulism associated with the consumption of packaged potato tortillas, one in Madrid and the other in Andalusia, bringing the number of people affected by this outbreak to nine, of which five have been confirmed.

Thus, in Andalusia there are two suspected cases, a 27-year-old man from Malaga, who is now joined by a 63-year-old person, who began his first symptoms on July 14, while the 48-year-old from Madrid started them on Saturday the 22nd after consuming the food three days before, as reflected by the Center for Coordination of Health Alerts and Emergencies (CCAES) in the report that it updated this Monday..

The four probable cases – these three and another person from the Valencian Community -, still unconfirmed, present “compatible symptoms and a history of consumption of suspicious food from the brand involved.”

The document does not mention brands or companies, but last week the Palacios Group asked all people who have purchased any of these products (Palacios, Chef Select, Auchan, Eroski, Unide, Consum, DIA, Ametller, Condis, El Corte Inglés, Carrefour, Alipende, Grupo IFA and Rikissimo) to refrain from consuming it and return it to the point of sale, while at the same time several supermarkets withdrew them from their shelves..

Meanwhile, there are still five confirmed cases: two Italian citizens who bought one of these tortillas in Valladolid on June 30, another from Madrid, another from Asturias and a last one from Galicia; the three residents in Spain have required treatment in the ICU.

In this way, those affected amount to nine and, according to the CCAES, all of them had a history of having consumed pre-cooked potato tortilla, packaged and purchased in different supermarkets in various communities with different brands; According to information from the Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition (Aesan), in at least four the producing company is the same.

The PP is still trying to assimilate the shock of a victory with a taste of defeat on the night of 23-J. The expectations played a trick on Feijóo. He won the elections with 136 deputies, but they do not give him the numbers to try to wrest Moncloa from Sánchez, who in turn depends on the votes of Carles Puigdemont. The insufficient triumph of the popular leader reopens the debate on the leadership of the party, especially in a hypothetical but possible scenario of electoral repetition. All the spotlights are inevitably directed at Isabel Díaz Ayuso, whom hundreds of supporters already cheered on election night when she went up with Feijóo to the balcony of Génova. The leader has wanted to calm the waters, at least for the moment: “If we were to go to a scenario of electoral repetition, of course [Feijóo] has to be the candidate,” said the Madrid president this Monday.

Ayuso, like the rest of the popular barons, has gone to the national headquarters in Genoa on Monday afternoon to face the meeting of the National Board of Directors, in which Feijóo has ratified his intention to launch an investiture after consulting with all the forces of the parliamentary arch, except Bildu. The Madrid leader, however, has found it difficult to ratify that support for Núñez Feijóo. Ayuso has been asked up to three times about the solidity of the Galician leader's leadership until he has ratified his support for his continuity. The doubts that some party cadres are beginning to point out is whether the current popular leader will remain at the head of the party in the event that Sánchez manages to re-edit the coalition. Feijóo seized the reins of the PP with a single bullet: “win” and “govern”. But the second is considered complicated.

“Feijóo has brought great stability to Spain, and he is a person loved by the Spanish. I am not the one to say what Feijóo has to do, but the important thing is to try. If things are difficult, we will have to face them”, settled Ayuso, who publicly supported the intention of the popular leader to run for the presidency of the Government despite the “enormous difficulty” of finding an “alternative” to an “implantable coalition of losers”, as the popular candidate had an impact on the party's senior staff minutes later.

The president of the Community of Madrid has also wanted to reduce the triumphalism that has been breathed in some cadres of the party for successfully covering a result that once again places the PP as the first political force and that allows it to recover 47 seats compared to the last generals. “Since yesterday I don't know what party anyone in this country can celebrate,” launched the leader.

In general, and although all the spotlights were on Ayuso, the PP barons have closed ranks with Feijóo and have supported his decision to attempt an investiture against Sánchez. The president of Andalusia, Juanma Moreno, acknowledged in the minutes prior to the meeting in Genoa that the party had problems “managing expectations”, and he blamed the demoscopia for the same strategy because “every day we were receiving polls that gave us 150 seats. It is the expectation generated by the published opinion”, summarizes.

Discouragement and even frustration spreads in the popular ranks. Deputies, senators, members of the national leadership, mayors and regional presidents arrived this Monday at the Genoa headquarters. the question was repeated. “What happened?” asked the journalists, to which many leaders shrugged their shoulders. Messages of encouragement prevailed over congratulations among popular leaders. One of the reasons to which the popular attribute the low result of Feijóo has to do with the “division” of the vote with Vox and the “irresponsibility” of those of Abascal to encourage this fracture. “In Murcia they have gone from being the first force to third. Maybe they do have to rethink their strategy”, launched for example the president of the Region of Murcia, Fernando López Miras.

In less than three years, the Galicians have gone to the polls for the second time in the middle of July and have filled them with votes. This Sunday's participation in the community stood at 73.14%, 17.29% more than four years ago out of a census of 2.2 million voters. In the regional elections of 2020, in the middle of the pandemic, it was 48.9%. The PP was the great winner of the night with 13 deputies and a percentage of the vote of 43.54%, the highest in all of Spain. After the popular ones, the PSOE obtained seven, Sumar, 2 and the BNG, 1. These are the results (and the keys) that the Galician vote leaves us.

PP barn

The first is overwhelming support for Alberto Núñez Feijóo. The predominance of PP blue is indisputable throughout the community, even in socialist strongholds with the exception of the Vigo area. More than 699,000 votes (43.5) 220,000 away from the second force, the PSdeG (29.8).

The PP that Feijóo left in the hands of his deputy after moving to Genoa, Alfonso Rueda, obtained spectacular results in the four provinces after 12 years of consecutive governments from 2009 to 2022. He clearly won in all except Pontevedra, where he tied seats with the Socialists. He was close to the best results of Feijóo in 2009, although still far from the unbeatable percentages of his mentor, Manuel Fraga, who passed 52%, at another time and in another context..

With the bittersweet taste of an insufficient victory, Pedro Puy, who is changing the Galician Parliament for Congress, appealed today to the “sense of State” so that “minorities that fell in votes” do not condition the future Government and avoided talking about the possible advance of the Galician elections.

Forbidden address for Vox

The second, a Vox -and on the decline- played again in Galicia where it has not managed to penetrate minimally in any call. The community cuts off those of Abascal who only got 4.7% with 77,014 votes, falling three points compared to the previous ones in 2019.

The representation of Vox in Galicia is limited to a single opposition mayor in Avión (Ourense) since last 28-M, an inland and rural mountain municipality. Many of his neighbors are wealthy returned emigrants. The deputy secretary, Javier Ortega Smith, did not allow the past children to enter Sampaio, a bar in the neighborhood of A Coruña, where a cafe with militants had been announced. The management of the establishments opposed it and did not allow it.

A headless PSdeG that does not take off

The third key is a PSdeG without a bellows and without a defined leader for the next Galician regional elections, which are just around the corner (or in autumn).. The lack of definition of the Galician socialists between their general secretary, Valentín G. Formoso, or the recovered José Ramón Gómez Besteiro -after the file of Operation Octopus, the last legal case that was pending- has weighed down the Galician socialists. Curiously, the Socialists got more votes than in 2019: 14,329 more ballots (479,355 votes) but they gave up three deputies to the PP (they go from 10 to 7) and 1.40% points.

They also compete in the same space to the left as the BNG and Sumar against a right without competition with Vox canceled. For the PSdeG parliamentary spokesman, Luis Álvarez, today the important thing was to point out that yesterday “was the worst night” for Alberto Núñez Feijóo. “He will not be president,” he predicted.

Adding resists but does not add that much

The fifth key is in Sumar, who was the third force after the PP and PSOE with the Galician Yolanda Díaz (Fene, 1971) as a banner. With 175,813 votes and almost 11% of the vote in his first appointment with the brand rushed to the extreme. He managed to keep the two seats that he had already achieved with Galicia En Común, but he left another three since 2016. Marta Lois, president of Sumar and Verónica Martínez Barbero, General Director of Labor, both from the close circle of the vice president, will be the two Galician representatives of the brand in Congress. Lois congratulated herself after election night for having “defeated Feijóo” with “the mobilization of the progressive vote”.

In Ferrol, where Yolanda Díaz began her political career as an IU councilor, support for Sumar reached 17%, with 6,291 ballots, although the PP exhibited its majority in the only city -and the smallest- that governs Galicia.

The nationalism of the BNG does not work

The fourth key is that Galicia does not follow the path of Catalonia or the Basque Country as far as independence is concerned.. While they widen, the Block contracts. Poor results for the nationalists who admitted that they did not meet their objective. With 152,327 supports (9.48%) they were fourth behind Sumar.

The BNG has punctured its expectations of achieving its own group in Congress and once again has to settle for a single seat for A Coruña, which will once again be occupied by parliamentarian Néstor Rego, who, despite the progressive nature of the formation, came to settle several times in it, not voting the same as PP or Vox, contrary to what happened with EH Bildu or Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (ERC).. However, the leader of the BNG, Ana Pontón, already anticipated making the BNG seat available to a Progress Executive against the right-wing bloc. There will be no “blank check to anyone”, Pontón warned today, although they will negotiate with Pedro Sánchez “with the best of wills” to enforce “the Galician agenda”.

• These are all the beaches in Spain with a blue flag in 2023
• The ranking of the 7 best beaches in Spain that you must visit, according to ChatGPT

In these summer dates, many would like to have a house as close as possible to the beach, to feel the sea breeze, feel the touch of the sand and be able to go bathe and sunbathe at any time they deem appropriate.. And, although many Spaniards take advantage of their holidays to go to the coast and rent some accommodation, it may be even better to get a house permanently if they can afford it.. And if they telework or have the flexibility to live where they want, they can even consider taking a place on the coast as their first home, with the added bonus that this entails for quality of life..

Logically, when buying a home, one of the key factors is the price, and it is often difficult to find houses with an affordable cost.. However, it must also be taken into account that in Spain we are fortunate to have numerous coastal areas, so the possibilities are multiplied.. And, if you are looking for the towns and cities with a beach where it may be cheaper to buy a home, it may be a good idea to pay attention to what Idealista, a real estate portal that is widely used in our country, says in a recent article that has been pointed out by those who say they are the ten most affordable places on the Spanish coast to buy a house..

In its list, Idealista tells us about different locations in Galicia, the Valencian Community, the Region of Murcia, the Canary Islands, Andalusia and Catalonia, in which they have detected that the average price of housing is lower. In any case, keep in mind that you can probably also find good offers in other towns and cities in the country, and that in this ranking the key is the average price of the houses offered on the portal..

Cheaper coastal towns

According to data from Idealista, the cheapest coastal town to buy a house in all of Spain is Ferrol, in the province of La Coruña, with an average price of 844 euros/m2. This is the top 10, indicating the average price per square meter:

1. Ferrol (La Coruña, Galicia): 844 euros/m2
2. Gandía (Valencia, Valencian Community): 1,112 euros/m2
3. Cartagena (Region of Murcia): 1,192 euros/m2
4. Playa Honda-Playa Paraíso (Region of Murcia). Urbanization and beach, which is also part of the municipality of Cartagena
5. Ribadeo (Lugo, Galicia): 1,257 euros/m2
6. Puerto del Rosario (Fuerteventura, Canary Islands): 1,381 euros/m2
7. Arrecife (Lanzarote, Canary Islands): 1,491 euros/m2
8. Barbate (Cádiz, Andalusia): 1,700 euros/m2
9. Salou (Tarragona, Catalonia): 2,038 euros/m2
10. Torre del Mar (Malaga, Andalusia): 2,404 euros/m2

If you are already late to buy a house on the beach to enjoy this very summer, perhaps you can start preparing to plan the next summer cycle, or to live long-term in a beautiful town or city on the coast.

The President of the Government and Socialist candidate, Pedro Sánchez, has sent a message to the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, who has summoned him to maintain contacts “in the coming days” to “avoid the political blockade” after the general elections this Sunday, according to PP sources.

Specifically, with 100% of the census counted, the PP has obtained 136 seats (33.05% of the votes), 47 more deputies than those that the party obtained in the general elections of November 2019. For its part, the PSOE ranks as the second force with 122 seats (31.70%), two more deputies than four years ago, a result that they have celebrated in Ferraz, where Pedro Sánchez has proclaimed that the “involutionist bloc” of PP and Vox “have failed”..

According to PP sources, the PSOE candidate “has written a message to the president of the Popular Party minutes before appearing before the media”. “In the message he has not entered into the particulars of the scrutiny nor in the options for the investiture,” they have added.

The same sources have added that the president of the Popular Party has summoned Pedro Sánchez to “maintain contacts in the coming days in order to avoid the political blockade” of Spain after the elections this Sunday.

In his appearance from the balcony of Genoa, Feijóo has assured that his “duty” is to open dialogue to try to form a government and has stressed that it would be an “anomaly” if the party with the most votes could not govern in Spain.”. For this reason, he has asked that “no one be tempted to block” the Government of Spain, alluding to the socialist candidate and chief executive, Pedro Sánchez.

For his part, the Deputy Secretary of Organization of the Popular Party, Miguel Tellado, said that it is a “pity” that the socialist leader did not take advantage of the message in question to “congratulate whoever won”, that is, Núñez Feijóo.

Adif has recovered circulation on the Madrid-Valencia high-speed line after completing the evacuation of water in the San Isidro tunnel, while announcing that it will investigate the causes that led to the fire, as reported this morning by the public company.

Circulation on the road has been possible at 05:00 this morning, thanks to the use of three auxiliary pumps and a team of 50 professionals who for more than a day have reduced the flooding caused yesterday by a fire in a chest that disabled the tunnel's water pumps.

This suspension affected more than 5,000 Renfe, Iryo and Ouigo travelers who were relocated to other means of transport such as shuttle trains, conventional rail trains or buses, throughout a day full of displacements on election day.

Adif has assured that it has maintained “permanent communication with the railway companies for the assessment and definition of their alternative transport plans”, while it has opened “an investigation” and has indicated that, up to now, “the causes that have caused the fire are unknown”..

The incident began on the night of Saturday to Sunday, at 03:46, when traffic between Bif. Xátiva and Valencia JS. by the accumulation of water, which reached 80 centimeters in height.

The tunnel's water table is below sea level and a “perfectly sized” pump system fulfills the function of draining the water, but when it was rendered useless by the fire, the water began to accumulate.

Adif reports in the statement that, at that time, it activated the protocol with firefighters from the Valencia City Council and the rest of the State Security Forces. Firefighters extinguished the fire at 06:05, but crews were unable to start work immediately due to accumulated smoke in the tunnel..

Once it was verified that the tunnel pumps were not evacuating water, different alternatives were activated -among them, a pump truck to remove water and the repair of damaged pumps- and finally it was decided to mount an auxiliary pump, to which two others were added throughout the day.

We will have plenty of time to try to explain ourselves and explain what happened on July 23. Find out how and why all the surveys failed like sideshow shotguns; how calling a general election in the middle of summer led to the absence of at least a couple of million people from the polls who on any normal date would have voted; where did the voters who decided to support Sánchez come from in the face of the right-wing alternative; why all Sánchez's allies -except Otegi and Sánchez himself- lost votes at large and, nevertheless, seem happy with the result; how Feijóo managed to waste an advantage in two months -the one obtained on May 28- that seemed insurmountable… surely there is some explanation for all this but, at the time of writing these lines, I don't have it. Also, there are a couple of things I'm most concerned about right now..

The first is the need for us to ask ourselves why, for almost a decade now, every time we Spaniards are put in front of a ballot box, we insist on turning the governance of the country into a bloody hieroglyph, increasingly cloudy and convoluted.. What part of the concept “general interests” have we forgotten and refuse to recover?. Why we have made it mission impossible to give a sensible government to this country. And why lately we like to hurt ourselves so much.

I have never hidden my opinion about this president. He seems to me the most toxic character that Spanish politics has produced so far this century (and not precisely because of a shortage of them). But given that he continues four more years in power, it would have been preferable to give him a clear majority and prepare for what was to come.. Instead of that, we have preferred to create ourselves and create a host of paradoxical situations for him: he is the numerical loser of the elections, but, without a doubt, the political winner. He has achieved the miracle of improving his result in votes and seats when he seemed doomed, but he is left in an extremely weak position. He has sucked votes from his allies in massive numbers to swell his party's tally, but he depends on them more than ever..

Given the cold numbers, it is not debatable that Feijóo, who inherited a party that was failing and on the brink of schism, has managed in little more than a year to rebuild a powerful network of territorial power, rise 13 points compared to the previous election and win the largest parliamentary group in the Chamber. But make no mistake: this vote had a single point on the agenda, which was to remove or not remove Sánchez from power. Repeal sanchismo, as Feijóo himself formulated in an expression that always seemed dangerous and unfortunate to me. Well, such a thing has not happened: sanchismo has not been repealed on July 23. In fact, most likely it has obtained four more years of validity.

On the other hand, it is not that the PP has made great merits during this legislature to receive the majority support of society; For that, something more is needed than winning a television debate and trusting that the anti-Sanchista drive will bring power home. For the rest, his career in the opposition has been rather erratic, at times irresponsible (General Council of the Judiciary) and too often self-injurious.

Congress will meet on August 17 (with this composition of the Chamber, predicting who will preside over Congress and who will control the Board is an enigma). After rigorous consultations, the head of state will propose Feijóo as a candidate for the presidency of the Government. There will be an investiture session and Parliament will reject the King's candidate, which has already been the custom to start legislatures in Spain. The only possibility that the leader of the PP manages to obtain more votes in favor than against in this new Congress would come from an outburst of institutional responsibility from a left party that is unthinkable in the Spain of 2023.

Pedro Sánchez will be the second proposed candidate. In order for his investiture to prosper, in addition to the discounted support of the confederation of acronyms nicknamed Sumar, he will have to once again convince the entire cohort of nationalist parties -accredited lovers of the Spanish Constitution- that accompanied him in the previous legislature: ERC, Bildu, PNV, BNG… On this occasion, abstention will not be enough: he will need the affirmative vote of all of them, a strong commitment to the candidate's program and to his political leadership.. The prices to pay for those votes will skyrocket.

From there, whether Spain has a government or whether we fall back into the abyss of the blockade (“Hanging Parliament”, the British call it) and the repetition of the elections will depend solely on the will of one man: a fugitive from justice named Puigdemont who lives in Waterloo, Belgium, and stands out even more than Sánchez's usual allies for his love of Spain and the constitutional order..

I have no doubt that Sánchez will humiliate himself to the extent necessary to win that vote.. He has received the unexpected opportunity to retain power when he already saw it lost and he will not be willing to risk it again in a second round. It was quite audacious to precipitate the call and it went well, partly due to his audacity as the presumed loser and partly due to the astonishment of the foreseen winner. But it's not a matter of trying luck again.

So Puigdemont will get what he wants to get.. It is no small gift for a standard-bearer of anti-Spain to have in his hands the election or not of the president of the country you hate the most: he will administer the privilege with refined sadism, reveling in luck. I wonder what the acting President of the Government would do if, in the middle of negotiating the investiture, the fugitive was planted in Barcelona and gave a massive press conference to present his demands to the candidate.

Well, let's suppose that Sánchez overcomes all the obstacles and gets his second inauguration -which would be his third if we include the motion of no confidence that brought him to power-. He will have to govern with two thirds of the territorial power in the hands of the PP, with the Senate largely dominated by the opposition and, above all, with a drastic limitation, as of January 2024, of the unrestricted spending policies to which he is accustomed.. It will have to do some of the horrible things that it attributed to the government of the extreme right and the extreme right. And he will have to pay the bill for the support of his allies in Parliament on a daily basis, who will act as costaleros on some days and others as gendarmes.. The character does not lack self-confidence for that and much more; It will be necessary to see how far their fellow travelers can withstand the curves of the journey. (Why bother evaluating the sensible alternative that would be to rebuild the agreement in the space of constitutional centrality?. What cannot be cannot be and, furthermore, it is impossible).

In his day, Pablo Iglesias persuaded Sánchez that if he managed to compact a political bloc born from the alliance of the entire left with all the nationalisms, the resulting creature would be electorally unbeatable. The result of these elections proves that Iglesias' approach was solid. For the PP to govern against Frankenstein, it is not enough to be the most voted. It is necessary for the right to have many more votes and seats than the left and for the PP to lead the PSOE by far. Not a rickety 300,000-vote victory, but a much more conclusive one. He had it in his hand and wasted it, it is not known until when.

Pedro Sánchez has managed to take a decisive step in his narcissistic escalation: yesterday he finally acquired the status of leader of a political bloc with a vocation for perpetual power, and his partners publicly recognized him as such. The dream of Iglesias, made true by an intermediary. Congratulations to both.

A dozen provinces will be at risk due to heat this Monday, with temperatures that could reach up to 42ºC in the interior southeast and the Valencian coast, according to the forecast of the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET).. Specifically, Alicante and Valencia will be at significant risk (orange) due to the high temperatures, which will also put Almería, Málaga, Murcia, Albacete, Barcelona, Tarragona, Lleida and the Balearic Islands on alert, but yellow..

Daytime temperatures will increase in the Mediterranean area and decrease in the rest of the country, notably in the upper Ebro and surrounding areas. Thus, it is probable that 40-42ºC can be reached in parts of the interior southeast and the Valencian coast, and that the minimums do not drop below 24-26ºC in the Mediterranean area.. In addition, in a large part of the country the skies with few clouds or with high clouds will predominate this Monday, without precipitation, although in the north of Galicia and the Cantabrian area cloudy skies are expected with probable precipitation, weak in general, tending to subside on the coasts in the afternoon, without ruling them out in the south of Galicia and the northwest of Castilla y León.

In the Balearic Islands, the eastern half of the peninsula and the west of Andalusia and the southern plateau, there will be intervals of medium and high clouds, tending to be little cloudy from west to east. Likewise, in the northern half and eastern third of the peninsula, cloudiness of diurnal evolution will develop, with probable dry storms in the eastern third and the Balearic Islands, accompanied by showers in the Pyrenees and the ends of the Iberian. It is not ruled out that these showers are locally strong in the eastern Pyrenees. Lleida will be on yellow alert for rain.

In the Canary Islands, intervals of low clouds are expected in the north of the islands, while there is a probability of haze in Alborán, the southeast and the Balearic Islands, and they are not ruled out in the rest of the southeast half of the peninsula. Nor are morning mists or mists ruled out in the Cantabrian, upper Ebro and Pyrenees. The winds, for their part, will be from the north in the northwest third and will blow from the west and southwest in the rest of the Atlantic slope.

In this context, the west wind will tend to establish itself in Estrecho and Alborán, blowing at the end of the day with strong intervals; north wind in the Ebro and, with strong intervals, north wind in Ampurdán. Variables will blow in the Mediterranean area while we wait for rissagas in the Balearic Islands and trade winds in the Canary Islands. Thus, the Balearic archipelago will be under yellow warning due to rissagas in Menorca, while coastal phenomena will put Almería, Granada, Málaga and Girona at risk (yellow)
