The Government and the leadership of the PSOE reiterate their support for José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero after the explanations that the former president has given on RTVE, where he has defended his innocence without providing any new information to what he had already declared in mid-June before Judge José Luis Calama of the National Court. Moncloa does not change the position it has maintained since the beginning of the case and asks for “respect” for Zapatero’s presumption of innocence and “his right to defend himself in the open procedure.”Continue reading
Health insurance companies, chambers of crafts and guilds, BGM service providers and universities – they are all looking for cooperation with companies in order to further develop their company health management (BGM). If it is important to you as an organization that the WHM course you are taking is also scientifically based, you will enter into cooperation with researchers. But when does that really make sense?Heike Kraußlach is the contact person for the “Healthy Work in Thuringia” network at the Ernst Abbe University (EAH) Jena. She is of the opinion: In many companies, WHM currently consists of individual measures and…
In teams, three channels are still unread, after the lunch break a missed call is waiting on the work cell phone and after work a colleague calls via WhatsApp: Constant digital stress at work is a real phenomenon. This is shown by the representative IU study “Always-on: Digital Stress in Germany”, for which around 2,000 people aged 16 to 65 were surveyed in January 2026. Digital stress is perceived by those surveyed as a constant state: four out of ten say they have the feeling that they are constantly “on reception” mentally. More than half of IU respondents experience pressure…
The head of the German Federation of Trade Unions (DGB), Yasmin Fahimi, is calling for heat loss benefits in Germany. “In extreme cases, there will be a loss of work due to weather in the future,” Fahimi told the German Press Agency. “Therefore, the legislature is called upon to find regulations that ensure solidarity for future loss benefits for employees and employers.” Fahimi’s demand is not without reason: a hot day costs the German economy 431 million euros. This emerges from an analysis by the research and consulting company Prognos on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Labor and Social…
Gaza, Ukraine, Trump: Andy Burnham has not yet attracted attention with his foreign policy expertise. Now the new British Prime Minister apparently wants to leave a lot of things to an experienced minister – Ed Miliband. But that is unlikely to work.
The moment that the PSOE has been waiting for for more than two months has arrived. Tomorrow José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero breaks the silence he has maintained since he was charged on May 19 with leading “an organized and stable structure aimed at the illicit exercise of influence” whose greatest success would have been the 53 million euro rescue of the Plus Ultra airline in the pandemic. Sixty-five days later, the former president will be interviewed on RTVE for the first time since the opening of the investigation, for which he did appear before the judge on June 17. Different…
In the future, Russian-made fuel elements may be produced in a factory in Lingen; the Russian nuclear company Rosatom is indirectly involved. Green Party leader Haßelmann describes the deal as “irresponsible.”
Farewell parties are often classified differently for tax purposes than they appear at first glance. When companies say goodbye to managers, events are organized that usually fulfill several functions: They express appreciation for the departing person, serve to represent the company and are often used to introduce a successor. This is precisely why they are more than just a social occasion and are often not clearly classified for income tax purposes. The classification is then carried out schematically using amount limits. This supposedly creates clarity, but falls short. A decision published this year by the Federal Finance Court (BFH) starts…
The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, visited this Wednesday the areas affected by the fire in the Sierra Norte de Guadalajara, which has already entered the “stabilization” phase after already destroying 32,000 hectares. Sánchez has insisted on the “need” for a State pact against the climate emergency, as he already did in the Los Gallardos fire, in Almería. The president of Castilla-La Mancha, Emiliano García-Page, for his part, has announced that he hopes to have the fire “stabilized” by tomorrow, Thursday, despite the gusts of wind. “It’s going to be a hard day,” he said. Page has also stressed…
The leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, takes stock at a press conference of the political course and the progress of the legislature, with an eye on the judicial cases that affect the PSOE and the Government and the lack of parliamentary support from the Executive. The president of the PSOE, Cristina Narbona, appears in the Senate investigation commission on the Koldo case. She is summoned by the PP to explain her relationship with Leire Díaz, a former socialist militant investigated for allegedly plotting a plot to boycott legal cases that could affect the Government. In addition, the National…
