Hello good morning!

Strange: while an agreement on infrastructure between the Government and the Generalitat here gives some pact air to the pre-campaign and the tourism numbers bring good news for the economy, outside the tension not only does not decline but grows. The US and France pull the bandwagon.

The Government and the Generalitat have closed the agreements to carry out a new section of the B-40 between Terrassa and Sabadell and 914 million in infrastructures committed to ERC in exchange for voting on the Budgets. All this to nothing of the generals, almost nothing.

France distrusts the brake on the escalation of the revolt in its streets. Because the vandalism continues. Because the violence continues to be extreme. Thousands of agents remain deployed and some European country rejoices in all of this. What was missing.

USA: what a mess. There is still time for the 2024 presidential elections, but everything is beginning to move: Biden shows the most volcanic side of him while Trump surpasses him in some polls; a conspiratorial Kennedy, moreover, aspires to the White House. There’s a party!

More than sun and beach? The numbers of tourism in Spain say that something is changing, because the one with high purchasing power is growing twice as much as the traditional one and at this point it accounts for almost 2% of GDP thanks to its multiplier effect. Malaga sets an example.

The low reading level that Spain shows in the different educational rankings is worrying. The cause, however, is unclear, and neurologists warn that it actually “hides many children with dyslexia.” In search of success, it is recommended to look at Asturias.

The confusion grows before the attacks of the orcas in the area of ??the Strait of Gibraltar. Is it because they play with sailboats? Maybe some trauma? The crashes increase and force new navigation recommendations.

Laporta confesses. Football in the 21st century is complex no matter how you look at it and today’s interview in La Vanguardia with the president of Barça makes it clear, who says “presiding over Barça is not that complicated” along with “with Messi there are pending payments until the 2025”.

‘Times are changing’. The internationalization and improvement in the rankings of universities is often linked to deepening the use of English in them. The Netherlands, referential here and vice versa, backs down in favor of the Dutch by creating problems for the nationals.

“We live in a time when we tend to name everything and now we are talking about the buffet effect in reference to something that has always happened…: we eat more when there is plenty”, he launches. The solution, she insists, is not to go on a diet.

Historic surprise. Cities with a lot of history always keep surprises. And this time it’s Berlin’s turn, as construction work on a block of flats has found a tunnel to escape from East to West under the old wall that apparently no one used.
