Although PSOE maintains a loyal voter base, Sumar's weakness threatens to collapse the investiture bloc. | EDATV NEWS Sumar's Weakness Puts Sánchez's Government in CheckThe collapse of the far left could facilitate an absolute majority for PP and Vox leaving PSOE without options.02/03/2025 16:08:00h by Juan Manuel Pulido Polls reflect a worrying scenario for Pedro Sánchez Although PSOE maintains a loyal voter base Sumar's weakness threatens to collapse the investiture bloc which in July 2023 contributed 30 key seats for governance Only 40% of its voters would repeat their support while the rest are migrating toward Podemos Sumar's fall not only implies a loss of seats but also creates a domino effect PSOE has managed to capture some of those voters but not in sufficient numbers to compensate for the losses The result is a loss of parliamentary strength that makes a political cycle change increasingly likely The wear and tear of Sánchez's Government is reflected in the discontent of left-wing voters lack of cohesion in Sumar and controversies over taxes and the minimum wage have created a fracture difficult to mend A significant percentage of former Sumar voters have moved to abstention or indecision weakening the bloc's ability to compete in future elections PSOE tries to stop this hemorrhage by intensifying its discourse Sánchez has resorted to the strategy of presenting himself as the only brake against the "international far-right" this narrative isn't resonating enough with his electorate A significant percentage of former Sumar voters has moved to abstention or indecision | EuropapressPP and Vox Advance While PSOE StagnatesOn the other end of the political spectrum PP and Vox haven't experienced significant growth in votes but the left's decline brings them closer to an absolute majority the sum of both parties could reach between 185 and 190 seats a result that would make Sánchez's continuity impossible PP remains trapped in an ambiguous discourse without a clear alternative to the country model built by PSOE in recent decades the Government's inaction and the left's fracture have turned Feijóo's party into a viable option for a center-right electorate seeking stability has managed to capitalize on the frustration of voters discontented with PP Its growth is especially notable among new voters where it is already the party with the highest voting intention it has managed to attract 650,000 former PP voters consolidating its position as an essential partner in a future right-wing government One of the most determining factors in the possible political cycle change is abstention Data show that 20% of voters from each party are in a position of indecision This phenomenon especially affects the left PSOE has tried to compensate for these losses by capturing voters from nationalist parties a strategy that has worked in other general elections Bildu's rise in the Basque Country and the internal crisis in ERC complicate this vote transfer the increase in abstention among traditional PSOE voters could be lethal by February 2025 abstention will exceed 35% | EuropapressA Complicated Horizon for SánchezWith more than two years to go before the general elections Sumar's inability to remain a relevant force and the demobilization of progressive voters pave the way for a right-wing victory the current investiture bloc will be insufficient to keep Sánchez in power PSOE could be forced to face a historic defeat with the right ready to take over The greatest lesson Félix Martínez Roda learnt from his father there’s simply the need to love wine.’ This remains the main principle guiding him at the helm of the family’s estate as the guardian of a unique legacy: an unfailing commitment to the region of Utiel-Requena and to Bobal Vera de Estena’s library cellar has some of the oldest examples of the region’s flagship variety proving its potential to produce age-worthy wines Francisco Martínez Bermell settled in Utiel to take the helm of his family’s production winery With him he brought a strong connection with his family’s wine lineage and a deep hope in better days to come Soon after establishing himself in Requena Francisco met his wife-to-be; together they started their own project Having developed a close friendship with Don Pascual Carrión then the director of the progressive Oenologic Station of Requena the couple delved deeper into the history and terroir of the region gaining invaluable technical knowledge and an understanding of how this land could yield the best grapes to produce world-class wines The culmination of this process would be the release of Vera de Estenas’ first bottled wines in the 1980s when the family was already settled at Casa Don Ángel – still the company’s operational and spiritual headquarters today Francisco was already being helped by his older sons in the stewardship of the family’s winery to fully take over from his father and lead Vera de Estenas into the 21st century Félix Martínez Roda – alongside his nephew Eduardo – is the guardian of this incredible entrepreneurial wood…’ – the elements that shape the philosophy of Vera de Estenas simple components that draw a direct connection between the vineyard and the glass imbued with an unpretentious classicism – these are wines that transcend fashions and the test of time the varieties and of the people whose lives have been intertwined with them from birth is a thread of memories and emotions – a narrative of a personal connection to the land of Utiel-Requena Each bottle still evokes the afternoon when its founder was taken by his grandmother Filomena to the family winery in El Grao the small seaside village where his great grandfather Don Pedro Pons had strategically built it close to the port Francisco was overwhelmed with wonder at the sight of the big vats spiralling staircases and imposing oak vessels He would never forget the complex aroma that filled the winery – cleanliness – a memory that accompanied and inspired him until his last days The same memory that guides Félix and Eduardo today there’s simply the need to love wine.’ Sometimes known as Saragossa in English, Zaragoza is a city in northeastern Spain.

a tourist beach in Spain left a young girl with deep wounds to her foot The 11-year-old was bitten while swimming in shallow waters off Grao de Moncofa just south of the tourist resort of Benicassim and two hours from Benidorm Lifeguards had to give her first aid treatment to stem heavy bleeding when her dad lifted her from the water She was then rushed in an ambulance to a nearby health centre after the alleged attack at midday on Saturday The company that provides lifeguards in the area said that while they could not confirm it was a shark bite, they had "never seen anything like it", local paper El Periodico Mediterraneo reported. A small species of blue shark around 60-70cm long is thought to have attacked her, Mayor Alós added. Beachgoers were told to avoid the area where the girl was bitten, but a full evacuation was not ordered because witnesses had not spotted the creature. It is the first reported shark attack in the area in at least ten years, officials said. The sighting coincided with the busy Bank Holiday weekend and the first major influx of tourists to the holiday island after Easter Around 90 species of shark can be found in the Spanish Med Shark attacks in the sea where the most common danger to bathers are jellyfish A Spanish windsurfer was bitten in the leg in 1986 and seriously injured by what is thought to have been a Great White In 1993 a man lost several toes on one foot in a second attack by a two-metre long slender shark that was never properly identified A Great White shark was washed up injured at the Catalan resort of Tossa de Mar in 1992 and later died Authorities at the time were accused of covering up the incident through fear of upsetting the tourist trade We pay for your stories!

Daniel Grao (Perdida, Julia’s Eyes) portrays the police investigator so it makes sense that he would be involved Zoe Stein (Mantícora) plays his daughter Julia who went to school with the girl found murdered She gets much more involved than she should but she also clearly has an eye for details In other key roles, we see Rebeca Matellan (Intimacy), Pablo Gómez-Pando (Feria: The Darkest Light) La Chica Invisible was written by Carmen López-Areal It’s described as “inspired by the successful book trilogy of the same name” which was written by Blue Jeans La Chica Invisible has previously been released on Disney+ in many countries All eight episodes are out now and it is definitely a binge-worthy series if you enjoy a nice crime mystery La Chica Invisible is out on Hulu from May 16 A father and daughter involved in the investigation of a murdered teenage girl in the picturesque fictional town of Cárdena The two are forced to put their differences aside and to succumb their tense relationship in order to solve the murder case rocking a supposedly peaceful town I write reviews and recaps on Heaven of Horror it does happen that I find myself screaming I have a huge soft spot for a good horror-comedy and I absolutely HATE when animals are harmed in movies so I will immediately think less of any movie where animals are harmed for entertainment (even if the animals are just really good actors) horror doesn't use this nearly as much as comedy And people assume horror lovers are the messed up ones
