The Begoña Gómez story - is the wife of Pedro Sánchez guilty of corruption or not - will be down to one's political convictions, since the judge has no proof so far, besides manipulated newspaper clippings given to him by a far-right organisation calle Manos Limpias.
This hasn't stopped him for calling on Sra Gómez to present herself to the court next month as 'accused'.
All a bit odd, just a few days before the European elections.
Now, another court has granted the far-right to make a protest outside the PSOE headquarters on Saturday, the 'Day of Reflection' before the vote.
As someone says, the Judicial Party is showing its claws...

EU vs Disinfo. Under the chapter on EU elections it says: ‘Information manipulators see elections as an opportunity to advance their own goals by smearing leaders, exploiting existing political issues, sowing distrust and eroding the credibility in the democratic system and its institutions…’

It's one thing charging to see a news-service for occasional stories, but frankly, 69€ per month is a little steep.

Infobae brings us the question ‘Should graffiti be protected? The debate reopens after the discovery of one from the mythical Muelle on an old wall in the centre of Madrid’.
We read that ‘Juan Carlos Argüello, alias Muelle (Madrid, 1965-1995) was the first Spanish graffiti artist recognized worldwide’.
My own opinion (Muelle’s work involved painting the word ‘Muelle’ on various walls and doors across Madrid) is that this is not art but vandalism and that spray-cans should have a canon on them in the shops (to help pay for the subsequent clean-up).

Unas obras de un edificio en la calle madrileña de la Cava Alta han dejado al descubierto una firma de Muelle en una pared que está pendiente de ser derribada por unas obras

Burgillos, a town in the province of Seville, had an 'unrecoverable' 13.5 million euro debt with some banks, which, sad to say, an American vulture fund picked up for just seven million.
It's now 27 million and the vultures want to cash in.

La empresa KSAC Europe Investments compró la deuda la localidad de Burguillos por 7 millones de euros.
