The law was fiercely opposed by the right, which staged large street protests, but the ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union could pave the way for separatist leader Carles Puigdemont to return from exile. The court agreed with the Socialist-led government’s argument that the amnesty law complies with EU legislation. “EU law does not preclude that amnesty law. That law seeks to reduce institutional and political tensions and to facilitate a scenario for reconciliation,” the Luxembourg-based court wrote in its ruling. Justice Minister Félix Bolaños said there was now “no doubt” that the amnesty law…

Alexis Valdés, 62, has been unable to enter Cuba for more than 20 years, but on the stage of the Trail Theater on Calle Ocho in Miami, the comedian has recreated, through his characters, conflicts and nostalgia, the country he cannot return to. “An exile is different from someone who’s been banished,” Valdés explains in an interview with EL PAÍS in the living room of his home in southwest Miami.Surrounded by books, wearing a floral shirt, John Lennon–style glasses and a fedora, Valdés is eloquent and quick to laugh; he gestures gracefully and rounds off his thoughts as though bringing…

The streaming service has found yet another way to milk more out of Stranger Things. Netflix Stranger Things might have already ended, but Netflix is far from done with it. The streaming service has just released a “VHS” special edition of the show’s first season. “Rewatch Season 1 like it’s 1983,” it wrote in its announcement. Indeed, the version looks very much like you’re watching a VHS tape.  It has the 4:3 aspect ratio of old tube TVs, so you’ll see two large black bars on both sides of the screen, unless you’re really watching on…

The ruling Socialists’ junior coalition partner Sumar has put forward a new proposal which seeks to change the minimum requirements for rental properties in Spain and make air conditioning mandatory. The hard-left party’s housing spokesperson, Alberto Ibáñez, explained that their main objective is to make it mandatory for all rental properties to have air conditioning systems installed. Ibáñez argued that tenants need “adequate climate conditions” in their homes and that this measure is essential to prevent tenants from “sweltering in their homes”. He described the current situation faced by many citizens, especially in large cities, as “inhumane and indecent”.   READ…

De la redacción   Periódico La JornadaJueves 16 de julio de 2026, p. 2 Lionel Scaloni, técnico de la Albiceste, dijo que sólo se trataba de futbol. Pero es mucho más que eso.

Encontró el momento oportuno para enviar los pases con los que Argentina se impuso 2-1 a Inglaterra, en un duelo agónico y cargado de símbolos. Una vez más está…

Hay un valor patrio que identifica al presidente de Panamá, José Raúl Mulino Quintero, y a la presidenta Sheinbaum Pardo: la defensa de la soberanía. Trump ha venido amagando con arrebatarle el control del estratégico canal por el cual cruzan 35 barcos todos los días, pero la guerra de Estados Unidos e Israel contra Irán ha hecho que el tráfico aumente a 40; habrá que decir que también los precios se han disparado. Gobiernos y empresas de todo el mundo pagan millonadas. Es un negocio muy apetecible para el expansionismo estadunidense. En la reunión que los mandatarios latinoamericanos tuvieron en…

Heather Diehl/Getty Images WASHINGTON — The Department of Transportation is doubling down on its campaign against “DEI bike lanes,” as Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy called them in a social media post earlier this month. The Federal Highway Administration has quietly stripped bike lanes, speed cameras and several other best practices from a list of “Proven Safety Countermeasures,” as they’re known, that have been shown to reduce crashes and save lives. The FHWA says the changes to its website, which have not been previously reported, are part of a broader review of safety countermeasures to ensure they align with current DOT…
