Judge Juan Carlos Peinado put the final touch on his controversial instruction at 11:59 last Saturday, when he signed an 84-page resolution to open a trial against Begoña Gómez and withdraw her passport. The decision has not only unleashed an enormous storm due to the political and legal repercussions it implies, but also due to the extravagant argumentation that, once again, it uses in its opinion, to the point that it has caused an emergency meeting this Monday of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) to study possible disciplinary measures.

Adolf Hitler attacked the Soviet Union in the summer of 1941 under the code name “Operation Barbarossa.” An attack whose traces are still visible in Germany today. Now the conflict with Putin’s Russia threatens to reopen old wounds.
It is dangerous that there are politicians who resort to conspiracy theories when they are harassed by the law. But it is also true that there are judges determined to agree with them. Judge Juan Carlos Peinado entered that category too long ago, incurring a kind of judicial populism: that which replaces the prudence required of an instructor with resolutions designed to cause public impact.Continue reading
Sónar 2026, the first without its creators, is now history. Maintaining the tradition of previous years, Saturday night imposed the dance in its most frenetic aspect, filling the venue, at least visually, although without reaching saturation. That was provided by some serious, true lungs of an event that maintains its hedonistic face as a banner of engagement before an audience that, despite the passage of time and physical decay, maintains a vitality that it probably only shows like this once a year, precisely at Sónar. That emotional connection, that agglomeration of memories and those layers of experiences sedimented in memory…
The Penal Code establishes a series of rules when determining the penalty in those cases in which a single criminal conduct simultaneously constitutes several crimes, the so-called ideal combination of crimes. The chief judge of the investigating court No. 41 of Madrid has already concluded the investigation carried out regarding the wife of the President of the Government. In his extensive order, the instructor summarizes what was done throughout the judicial investigation and reiterates, in my opinion, definitively the enormous deficiencies that have accompanied his actions in this case.

After heavy attacks on southern Lebanon, Israel has ordered its army to stop fighting. Meanwhile, the Iranian delegation has arrived in Switzerland for negotiations, and US Vice President Vance is said to be on his way.
A literary storm fell this Saturday afternoon on Barcelona. In the middle of the prelude to the heat wave, the sky released poems. A helicopter flew over the surroundings of the Barcelona Cathedral, in the heart of the Gothic quarter, to launch 100,000 poems around the idea of freedom. The action, known as Poem Bombingis an international public intervention conceived by the Chilean collective Casagrande that has already toured Santiago de Chile, Dubrovnik, Guernica, Warsaw, Berlin, London, Madrid and Rotterdam.Continue reading
Judge Juan Carlos Peinado left two of the most controversial decisions of his career in the air for five days (and he has already accumulated quite a few in the case that he has promoted since 2024 against Begoña Gómez). But this Saturday, finally, he has communicated them: he has decided to open an oral trial against the wife of the President of the Government for influence peddling, business corruption, embezzlement and misappropriation, in addition to withdrawing her passport, prohibiting her from leaving the country and forcing her to appear twice a month before her court. An unprecedented measure in…
In 2001, Nevenka Fernández denounced her boss, the powerful mayor of Ponferrada, Ismael Sánchez, of the PP, for harassment at a press conference. After the complaint, she fled her city, pursued by a campaign of discredit and prejudice. This Saturday, 25 years later, she performed again in Ponferrada at a public event, held at the headquarters of the Ciudad de la Energía Foundation, in a conference organized by the Ministry of Equality, surrounded by an auditorium full of 300 people. “I’m excited, nervous, but very happy,” she said, as soon as she started, with a smile.

With plenty of government funding, the Swedish company Northvolt wanted to build a huge battery cell factory in Schleswig-Holstein. After the bankruptcy, the start-up Lyten is now taking over what is left – for a fraction of the money invested.
