The far right's success in last month's regional elections in Extremadura, Spain, was inevitable. After a series of corruption and sexual harassment allegations surrounding Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's socialist government since the summer, everyone in Spain knew he would never pull off a victory. Although the southwestern region has historically been a stronghold of Sanchez's Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE), it has been in the hands of the conservative People's Party (PP) and the far-right Vox party since 2023.
Since making his senior debut in 2008, Pedro has assembled the kind of career and medal collection that few could even dream of. After breaking into Pep Guardiola's iconic Barcelona side, the forward soon became a regular for the Spain national side and was part of the squad that won the World Cup in 2010. He remains one of the few players from that tournament in South Africa to still be playing at the top level,
Tis the season to occupy oneself in eating and drinking like there's no tomorrow, in the wonderful warmth of friends and family, remembering those who are no longer with us and locking eyes as we toast to the river of time and the year to come. Some will go to Mass, many to buy presents, and almost none of us will think for even a moment of that unknown land between this world and the next.
We're talking about 2 million people who will be paying less each month to get to work, to get home or to do their day-to-day stuff, he said. That's what governing is about: making the important things easier for ordinary people.
Travel patterns from Germany's main airports during the summer flight schedule (April to October 2025) reveal a number of trends among holidaymakers. While the total number of air travellers has not completely rebounded since the Covid pandemic, data released by the Germany's statistics office (Destatis) highlights shifts across domestic, short-haul and long-haul journeys. In total, 68.5 million passengers departed Germany for destinations abroad during the summer, marking a rise of 4.6 percent compared to the previous year.
Police in Spain have arrested three people on suspicion of belonging to the Base, a global neo-Nazi terrorist group that incites and trains members in techniques to overthrow governments and bring about a race war. The group, which has been designated a terrorist organisation by the EU, the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, is part of a worldwide accelerationist white power movement that prepares its cells to carry out violent and destabilising attacks.
Social class permeates all aspects of life, and love is no exception. In Spain, for instance, couples don't form randomly; rather, they're typically determined by socioeconomic factors. This means that people tend to partner with those most similar to themselves in terms of income and wealth. And, at the top of the social ladder, this tendency intensifies. Those who earn and have the most assets find each other with a frequency three times greater than would occur in a society where relationships were completely random.
Spain are all but certain to qualify for the 2026 World Cup after thrashing Georgia 4-0, despite the absence of Lamine Yamal following the Barcelona star's groin surgery. La Roja's 100 percent record in Group E was never in doubt as they swept aside their hosts in Tbilisi, with a double from Mikel Oyarzabal and goals from Martin Zubimendi and Ferran Torres securing an emphatic victory.
Spain's two main right-wing parties PP and Vox have publicly endorsed the idea of national stats bodies differentiating between foreigners and Spaniards when it comes to data collection in a bid to ascertain their contributions to the country. Spain's main opposition party - the centre-right People's Party (PP) - continues to push its new 'tough on migration' stance, this time supporting the idea of separate data collection for foreign residents and Spanish nationals, something which doesn't currently exist in some public administrations.
On Sunday, October 26, clocks will again "fall back" one hour, ending Central European Summer Time (CEST), after having "sprung forward" an hour in March. What is daylight savings time (DST) and why is it used? Around 35% of countries currently adhere to the daylight savings time system, which was first instituted on a national level in 1916 in the German and the Austro-Hungarian Empires. DST saw broad international implementation in the 1970s as a means of saving energy after the oil crisis.
For decades, travelers have been told one simple rule: never bother opening a foreign bank account unless you're moving there. But in 2025, that advice is officially outdated - especially if you're heading to Spain. A surprising loophole in Spanish banking lets non-residents (that's you, the tourist or digital nomad) open a fully functional account, access better exchange rates, avoid foreign transaction fees, and even pay less for hotels, car rentals, and local experiences.
about Digital nomadism , while it's undoubtedly exploded since 2020, has actually existed as a concept since back in the 1990s. Though there's some speculation whether the 'work from anywhere' dream is really the idyllic new life lots of us thought, it's still an increasingly popular lifestyle choice and, in 2025, it's going nowhere.
The foundation said that when the van arrived at 10am that day, its contents were unloaded and checked. Despite the fact that some of the carefully packaged works were not correctly numbered, making an exhaustive check impossible, the delivery was signed off and the van and its crew went on their way. The following Monday, the pieces, which had been under video surveillance all weekend, were unpacked.
The world is full of grand plans that were never completed-or eventual disappointments once they had been Both in Spain and around the world, some of the most interesting landmarks have degraded into contemporary architecture fails. In some cases, bold new projects have ended with buildings being returned to their previous states and uses, others remain uncompleted, and an unfortunate few have been condemned to be demolished.
The National Students' Union organized Thursday's protests under the slogan "stop the genocide against the Palestinian people." Demonstrations, which took part in at least 39 cities and towns, varied in size from small groups to thousands who turned out in Barcelona and the capital Madrid, where students held banners with messages like "Stop Everything to Stop the Genocide," "All Eyes on the Global Sumud Flotilla," and "Free Palestine!"
Economists have long warned that the upward climb has slowed to a near standstill. Now the OECD has provided figures that reinforce this perception: in Spain, more than a third of income inequality is determined by factors that do not depend on the individual, but rather on imposed or inherited circumstances such as gender, the parents' place of birth, or, above all, their socioeconomic background.
I don't remember where Pete had gone - and I swear this isn't some fantasy I invented - but I was sitting in this office looking around and wondering whose it was, when Redford himself opened a different door and walked in, all dressed in white. He looked as shocked to see someone sitting in his office as I was to find myself face to face with the Sundance Kid.
Following announcements from Ireland, Slovenia, the Netherlands and Iceland, Spain became on Wednesday the first country among the "Big Five," the five largest contributors to the Eurovision Song Contest, to officially declare its decision to boycott the 2026 event to be held in Vienna from May 12-16, if Israel's participation goes ahead as planned. The country's withdrawal was approved by a majority of the board of directors of Spanish state broadcaster RTVE, with 10 votes in favour, four against, and one abstention.
