Hello good morning!
Pedro Sánchez has carried out almost all the measures that he brought to Congress on Wednesday. However, our chroniclers say, even in the PSOE itself they think that the price paid to Junts has been too high and they fear the future. Where the future remains completely black and incomparable is in the Middle East. Tonight the bombs fell on Houthi positions.
Hangover. The Government is trying to limit the scope of the concessions made to Junts, a group led by Carles Puigdemont from Brussels, which boasts of having taken more things from Pedro Sánchez than anyone else. For issues such as delegating immigration tasks to the Generalitat, the Executive sees itself betrayed by arithmetic.
Vice President Díaz is the one who has borne the brunt of the last session of Congress. Her measures in the workplace were not approved, precisely, by those who until not too long ago were her allies: Podemos. Now she has to renegotiate her unemployment benefit reform with the social agents.
Feijóo, charge. The leader of the Popular Party, who conveys the idea that he cannot get over his astonishment with the exchange of benefits between the Government and the PSOE, as if he had not witnessed a thousand battles during his already distant entry into politics, announces a judicial offensive and in the street in the face of Puigdemont’s “extortion” of Sánchez.
Punishment. The United States and Great Britain bomb Houthi positions in retaliation for attacks carried out by Yemeni rebels in the Red Sea. If the Suez Canal is blocked by this, the drought is beginning to affect the Panama Canal.
Israel is accused of genocide by South Africa. The hearings for this historic lawsuit between countries are being heard at the International Criminal Court based in The Hague, which must decide whether to order the immediate suspension of the Israeli offensive in the strip.
King Felipe VI believes that the Palestinian state must be recognized, along with that of Israel, as the only way out of the historic conflict that today experiences its most tragic reflection in Gaza. The monarch conveyed it yesterday to a group of ambassadors gathered in Madrid.
Unwanted rebirth. Germany’s far-right soars above 30% in three eastern länder with elections in sight this year. One of his desired goals, with aromas of a terrible past, is to expel foreigners from German land.

Classic, on Saturday. With FC Barcelona qualifying last night against Osasuna for the final of the Spanish Super Cup, which is being held in Saudi Arabia, a new final is guaranteed, like last year’s, between the Blaugranas and Real Madrid.
The violence in Ecuador does not stop. There are various causes that have led the Central American country to internal conflict with criminal gangs. At this time, the number of officials held hostage by drug traffickers in seven prisons in the country rises to 178.
Frankenstein goes beyond a classic character in romantic novels and movies. That does not prevent renewed artistic commitments to give new life to that artisanal human. Actor Jacob Elordi will play the creature in a film by Guillermo del Toro.
