Hello good morning!
I wish it was always electoral campaign time… The plans and promises that are launched by 28-M do not stop, even more so according to the local and regional ones that are dyed as a prelude to the general ones. In those it is while the pocket of the Spaniards shrinks.
Melee of Sánchez and Feijóo. The campaign for the local and regional elections on May 28 is gaining strength: the main political leaders are involved; everything in them conveys the relevance that this vote will have in the next general elections.
Will the Valencian Community be key? The result left by the vote among the Valencians will now reflect, it is repeated, what can happen in Spain at the end of the year… Ximo Puig to La Vanguardia: “We are not a trophy for someone to achieve something beyond.”
Housing like water is already a clear axis of the debate and the measures overlap, especially when the weight of wages in GDP falls to its lowest level since 2018, for example. The other debate is arithmetic: will the DÃaz-Belarra tandem stick to the left?
Carlos III was crowned this weekend and hours later what is insisted on is two controversies: the deterioration of liberties given the arrest of Republicans during the ceremony and the defenestration of Prince Enrique. It remains to be seen how long they last.
The Bakhmut Front is a strategic enclave in the Donetsk of the Ukrainian war. And it burns. It seems that the Ukrainians rush their last hours in it. And in situ it is said: “After all, Bakhmut no longer exists, it is completely destroyed.” Its consequences are calculated.
Madrid won the Cup on Saturday (congratulations!), but it is the Murcian tennis player Alcaraz who focuses all eyes. He repeats his victory at the Open Mutua Madrid thanks to modulating his game in a final-trap and is within a shot of being the ATP leader. Who can stop him?
Another box. New times in the hospitality sector. Restaurants, finally?, lose their fear of charging if the client does not show up, a setback for their till and also for clients who were left without a place despite finally having it, for example. That’s how it works.

No bikes. Barcelona makes a decision of those that others look at with a magnifying glass waiting to see if it works or not: it prohibits the use of bikes and scooters on all sidewalks except for children under 12 years of age and the adults who accompany them. Mobility is still under debate.
Eurofans, a new edition of Eurovision starts in 24 hours! And this year it is celebrated in the cradle of the Beatles, Liverpool, there is nothing. For now it seems that Finland could give the surprise although Loreen (Sweden) is the favorite. Blanca Paloma “has options.”
The maze of imaginary lines that traps Taiwan between China and the US does not stop growing: backed militarily by the US, claimed by China, key in the current chip economy, highly dependent on trade with Beijing… with no escape?
