Good morning,
Grab a coffee and let’s go. Hello!
Where does the day go?
Something wrong
Yesterday we started talking about the fact that the administration is not able, in some cases, to fulfill the fundamental mandate of providing social assistance to those who really need it. Today I come with another insoluble black hole in our welfare state, the one that we always try to protect but that we also have to improve: what do we do with children when they do not have school? in the summer we still talk about it: How does the system plan to accommodate them when parents have no holidays? In September comes another dramatic moment for families whose child is going to school or nursery school for the first time: the adaptation period, which teachers (the system) consider very important (because it is), but which in principle involves not going to work. How do you plan to reconcile this? Some answers.
- More cyclingThe Government has announced an investment of 20 million euros to promote public bicycle systems like those that have been operating for years in Barcelona, ​​Seville or (BiciMad, you were cool before) in Madrid. An additional 20 million will also be allocated to promote the purchase of electric bicycles.
- Sales of Chinese electric cars have skyrocketed in Europe after the pandemic.

The Provincial Court of Madrid asked Judge Peinado to send you all the content of the trial that remains open against Begoña Gómez, wife of the President of the Government. Of course, Gómez’s defense and the prosecution had requested that the investigation be archived, which has been very abnormal (not to say irregular) from the beginning. According to what my colleague Elena Herrera is told, the fact that the provincial court is demanding the entire file from the judge is not very common and can be understood as a possible indication of its intention to close it. This is something that must be decided at a meeting on September 30. But to know. Because at this point we don’t even know what he’s accused of Judge Peinado to the accused.
Meanwhile, in the PP, although they have a bit of chaos in communicationThey are already stopping naming Begoña Gómez to focus this week on another facet of the noise: Venezuela. They now intend to approve in the Senate a resolution (which will be neither binding nor useful) to ask the Spanish government to bring Maduro before the International Criminal Court. Netanyahu no, Maduro yes. The right must raise the bar very high to try to make what Edmundo González thanks with gestures of cordiality not seem enough in the eyes of the people:
This is the photo of Pedro Sánchez received yesterday in Moncloa to the Venezuelan opposition leader, who has had nothing but good words for his handling of the crisis.
Broncano’s Spain
Today on the podcast, We are talking about the great cultural battle of the moment, which is taking place where the great wars of common sense are fought: on television. Perhaps you do not understand very well why so many people are giving so much importance to David Broncano’s new show on La 1 de TVE. The fact that it has surpassed El Hormiguero de Pablo Motos in terms of audience in the first week of broadcasting has implications that go far beyond a competition between networks. It reminds me of the moment when José Ramón de la Morena surpassed José MarÃa GarcÃa. A change of era, the emergence of a new code, of a country that we were told did not exist.
Don’t let it pass
- liquid gold. Olive oil has gone up, it has gone up a lot. In this report We are trying to explain the context of a privileged market (people do not want to give up oil, even if the price increases) but under tension because of the drought.
- 0.2The Ministry of the Interior wants lower blood alcohol level allowed to drive. It is now 0.5 and Marlaska wants to lower it to 0.2 grams per liter. In other words, a small bottle would probably already test positive. There is no rational reason to object, but we know that it could get complicated.
- Bats and Children. What does the disappearance of bats have to do with the increase in infant mortality in the United States? Well, this is one of the latest examples of where the destruction of ecosystems and species has disastrous consequences. More here.
- Alberto FujimoriFormer Peruvian president found guilty of crimes against humanity, is dead.
