Hello good morning!
The elections have left the governability of Spain up in the air in the absence of clear majorities. Nothing new, we said yesterday. Today there is something new: the PNV refuses to negotiate with the PP while Sánchez and Puigdemont open up to dialogue. New paragraph.
Sánchez and Puigdemont will talk. The socialist leader and Junts benchmark “are willing to negotiate an investiture” even though Puigdemont has been preaching the blockade of the State for years and Sánchez rejects a referendum. The keys of him.
‘Popular’ GPS disorientation. Feijóo has won the elections but today he can hardly go to the inauguration with an alliance with Vox, a block that, although it is growing, does not add up by itself nor does it seem to attract allies. “He begins to be skinned,” he reads.
The calendar that is drawn like this is uncertain. The game is known to be between investiture or lockout. That the legislature begins on August 17. And that on the 21st the King will be able to start the consultations. From there the countdown begins so as not to repeat the elections.
Russia plays with fire. First, against hunger: it attacks grain silos on the Danube export route that are central to many countries. At the same time, against NATO: it bombed for the first time the extreme south of Ukraine on the border with Romania.
The job, hell. Much of the day to day is spent in a job position. In it, however, there are cases of labor harassment, sexual harassment, exploitation, no one to undermine morale… To avoid it, the first thing is to identify them. Those with experience tell how.
Be careful (still) with the drought. Weeks ago the rains brought good news; the extreme heat of the last ones is the opposite: the level of relevant reservoirs drops again by 30% and abundant rains are not expected. What’s more, new sultry nights are coming.
The geopolitics of soccer. As explained, PSG has called Barça to offer its desired star, Mbappé, despite his delicate box and that the management and sports leadership rule out the operation. The objective of the movement does not seem to be in Barcelona.
Noah Higón Bellver, jurist, political scientist and activist, suffers from seven rare diseases. “Fear is harder to tame than pain.” Listen here on podcast.
Brazil who has seen you and who sees you. Brazilian indigenous cultures take over museums, galleries, theaters and festivals. It represents a paradigm shift with a new batch of creators. Until recently, it was “unimaginable”, he admits. Here what to follow.
Paella may not be Basque, but… There has been controversy over the supposed Basque origin of paella (spoiler alert: it refers to the container that gives the dish its name) and, now, it continues for the oldest and most popular paella contest, which it would be. Seeing is believing.
The poll bubble that has dominated the political debate for years punctured 23-J by overestimating the turn to the right. A basic problem is pointed out: the small sample of respondents, bad cuisine, a tendency to converge… It has political consequences.
Enric Reig, ‘feeding bottle’ survivor on the 85th anniversary of the Battle of the Ebro. “I didn’t want to shoot, I refused to kill anyone”. read it here
