Hello good morning!
The dilemma between principles and the most stark political praxis is in fashion. Everything has been under review for a long time and everyone wants to be the first to open the dance. They say that, in the end, one and the other are not so different. Even Junts and the PP speak.
Discreet connection. Representatives of the Popular Party and Junts, Carles Puigdemont’s party, carried out some reserved contacts last August before the Congress Board was voted on. The sneaky flirtation between the two has left a door open.
Protests and rights. The beating of a Pedro Sánchez doll during an ultra demonstration in Madrid has opened the debate on the form and substance of the criticism and whether there are contours that cannot overflow. You have to deliberate.

The price of tension. The crisis over Houthi attacks on merchant ships in the Red Sea has tripled maritime transport costs in two weeks. The largest company in the sector, Maersk, once again suspends its passage through the Suez Canal.
Year of goods? Analysts are torn between those who are confident that 2024 will be a good economic year in the world and those who are more pessimistic. It seems that the first semester will be very delicate. The managers of large firms will have to refine.

The Civil Guard has taken action in the case of the illegal mega rave party that has been held since Saturday in the Murcian town of Fuente Álamo. The complaints and control of the environment by a hundred members of the armed institute have begun.
Protect childhood. Almost 1,100 children under six years of age currently live in Spain in a shelter. Within this group there are 557 babies who, for the moment, will have to grow up under the protection of those responsible for each institution.
papal pomp. The popes of the Renaissance made the city of Rome a spectacular work of art. His colossal aesthetic and urban enterprise pursued complicated political objectives such as subjugating kings and emperors to contain them.
