NOTES
1—After Morocco beat Belgium in the World Cup this Sunday, 2-0, there were riots—Moroccans excited by their victory—in Brussels, Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague. Looking at the group stage, which still needs to do the third games, there might be a Spain-Morocco match in the next round.
2—Yesterday saw some Spanish hooliganism too, before the Burgos-Zaragoza match:
3—El País points towards the food crisis in Africa as a result of the war in Ukraine as the cause of the increase in migrants moving towards Europe this year: “Only concrete action can reduce the drama and prevent the rudeness and national-populist histrionics of Meloni from conditioning the EU’s migration policy in the end”.
4—Poll in ABC gives a coalition majority to the right. More seats for the PP but fewer for Vox compared to the general election in 2019.
5—Sánchez: "One of the things for which I will go down in history is for having exhumed the dictator from a great monument like the one he built in the Valley of the Fallen".
6—Diario de Mallorca reports the Catalan teacher in Palma involved in the suspension of an entire class for refusing to remove a Spanish flag in support of the national squad at the World Cup has received far-right death threats.
7—Two rapists in Cantabria get 7 years less in prison thanks to the application of the new minimum sentences in the only-yes-is-yes law. Each had been jailed for 18 years in total. The reduction drops those to 11 years.
