Madrid has already set the card brake on the classrooms. The scissors will not cut all centers by educational equally

by

The Community of Madrid just put date to an idea that had been around for some time: Limit the use of screens among the little ones. From the 2025/26 course, children in children and primary schools of public and concerted centers will not be able to work with digital devices individually. The official objective is to protect them from excessive or inappropriate use, something that, they say, will benefit more than half a million children. What changes in Infant and Primary? In practice, this means that in childhood and primary school it ends to have each one its tablet or its laptop. According to the Community of Madrid, teachers will not be able to send duties that require screen outside school and, within the classroom, only shared use and always with a pedagogical purpose will be allowed. This use will be very measured: in the first cycle of children (up to 3 years) there will be no contact with screens, in the second cycle (3 to 6 years) it will be limited to an hour weekly, in 1st and 2nd primary school also at one hour, in 3rd and 4th at an hour and a half and up to two hours per week in the last two courses. The exception of high school. ESO plays with other rules. Instead of a veto, the Community of Madrid leaves the decision in the hands of each institute. They will be the ones who mark whether or not they are used tablets, laptops or mobiles in class, adapting the rules to the reality of their students, their maturity and the way in which the subjects impart. Private schools: the great nuance. Not all schools are in the same bag. As Madrid’s Diario stands outthis regulation is only imposed on centers with public funds. The private ones are left out, although they are encouraged to apply their own criteria to regulate the use of technology in the classrooms. Exceptions and special cases. The regulations leave some open doors. For example, students with special needs can use tablets or computers without limits if recommended by a psychopedagogical report. In addition, the decree allows devices to be used in those options or programs that are not understood without technology, such as some digital or robotics projects. Progressive Supervision and Adaptation. It will not be a change overnight. The educational inspection will be responsible for controlling that the decree is applied correctly, but also to help the centers so that the change is as traumatic as possible. In addition, schools with projects where each student has their own device will have an extra year, until 2026/27, to adapt and reduce the use of screens. Open context and debate. Not everyone sees this change with the same eyes. The more than 400 allegations received that the debate is still open: are we protecting children or limiting their contact with tools that will be key in their future? The Madrid community is committed to the first reading, but the pulse between traditional education and digitalization is far from resolving.

Toledo promised them very happy putting music at their festivities. Until the SGAE arrived with pending invoices

by

Who does not like a good verbena with his musicite and his dances. In Toledotodos the years celebrate the August Fair, the Corpus and other events and in all, of course, they put music. The problem is that between 2017 and 2021 the invoices were not paid to the General Society of Authors and Editors. Now they will have to pay more than 143,000 euros. Imposses. The Commercial Court No. 1 has issued a sentence and condemns the City Council of Toledo to pay the invoices not paid to the SGAE, which amount to 143,513.92 euros, plus 30,000 euros of coasts of the trial, as reported in Europa Press. Unpaid invoices correspond to the period between 2017 and 2021. Disproportionate. According to the City Council, the rates of these invoices were “arbitrary and disproportionate”, which is why they were not paid at the time. In addition, in the case of the Lux Toledo event they alleged that it was the company Actiona who should pay the copyright. In the case of this event, the judge cites in the sentence that if the company does not pay it, “the City Council would assume it subsidiaryly.” The City Council has already approved a credit modification to deal with payment. There have been more cases. Toledo’s is not the only case of a town hall to which the SGAE takes to court for non -payment. In September last year, Vigo had to pay more than half a million euros for not paying bills between 2018 and 2023. The list continues: Miranda del Ebro, Zalamea de la Serena, OBEJUNA SOURCE… Confusion. There are few municipalities that have left SGAE invoices without paying, it seems that they have agreed, but sometimes it is the result of ignorance. According to him Orb and Associated Lawyers Officewhen a City Council hires a band, it often occurs that “he has been hired as an interpreter, as a musician performer of his own repertoire and that the SGAE does not have the exclusive management of those works.” In addition, there is a lot of confusion around Who should pay when a public event is held. For example, although the City Council only gives the space and is a promoter who organizes the concert, corresponds to the City Council to pay the payment to the SGAE. Bad communication. There have also been cases such as Medina del Campo where the fault was the lack of communication. The SGAE did not communicate that they had to pay anything until 2007, when there were already 76,000 euros. Something similar happened in Miranda del Ebro When in 2018 the SGAE sent the invoices corresponding to 2014. Image | Pexels In Xataka | A town in Toledo has tired of the squatters.

How not to remember things makes us think better

by

Irenaeus Funes was 19 when, after an accident, he lost knowledge and, when recovering it, he debuted with a very rare case of hypermnesia: Your memory It had widen in a prodigious, superlative, elephantiatic way. Now, in their drawers, the whole world and each of its details fit. “More memories I have that those who have had all men since the world is world,” he told a Buenos Aires pack that his story kept us in A small text destined for a collective biography that never got edited. But, very soon, both began to discover that “the gift” was poisoned. Funes began to talk about his memory as a “garbage emptying” and the writer realizes that the Uruguayan young man was so full of insignificance that he had become someone unable to think. “Thinking is forgetting differences, it is to generalize, abstract. In the crowded world of Funes there were only details, almost immediate,” wrote in 1944. That is, Borges readers already knew that oblivion is more than necessary. Now also confirms neuroscience. How are long -term memories saved? I am not sure that ‘saving’ is the term more prices, but it will be worthwhile to talk about the subject today. In its most basic aspect, “long -term memories are stored as configurations of neuronal sets, called greases.” The term “engram” is actually used for many things (with unequal rigor) because it refers to any relatively stable interconnection of neurons. Just the type of patterns we are when studying long -term memory. A lot has been studied on the properties of these structures and the functionalities that the engrams have, but (how did they realize Some researchers from Dublin Trinity College) still know very little “about how they are affected by oblivion.” Not only the distance is oblivion. In fact, the Irish team study How affected the ‘retroactive interference‘(A phenomenon in which different experiences that occur nearby in time can cause the oblivion of recently trained memories) to the engrams. In an experiment with mice, The researchers created A memory, identified the ‘linked’ engram to him, made him disappear with retroactive intervention techniques and, subsequently, thanks to optogenetics, analyzed what happened to that hook. What they discovered is that “forgotten” greases can be restored by presenting similar or related environmental information. That is, they have shown that “retroactive interference modulates the expression of the engrams in a reversible and update way.” In a way, if we think of greases like ‘roads’ that connect certain neuronsafter oblivion those paths stop being used, but (as in the real roads) the brands remain in the “vegetation” and can be followed with some ease if necessary. Forgetting, thus, simplifies communications networks in the brain, without destroying them at all. Something that is “adaptive” for a daily life in which “new perceptual and environmental entries” modulate oblivion). It is not a problem, no; It is a characteristic that makes us better.

That is why it has a 500,000 million plan

Taiwan is a worldwide potential in semiconductors. TSMC leadership In this industry, and to a lesser extent the economic performance of other Taiwanese companies also very relevant, such as Foxconn or UMC, has placed its economy Among the twenty -five major on the planet. Usually moves between positions 21 and 22, what is not bad if we are in mind that the island’s population barely exceeds 23 million people. However, if we stick to the thriving artificial intelligence (AI) Taiwan for the moment does not have much to say. TSMC manufactures most of the market chips, but in the field of large language models for ia who are currently singing voice are USA and China. Europe and other powers are trying to make their way not to fall back in A sector of undoubted strategic importancebut until now Taiwan has been essentially irrelevant. This is about to change. Taiwan plans to launch its initiative “Ten great AI infrastructure projects” The US government led by Donald Trump is determined to lead in the field of the cost of what costs. And in principle this initiative, baptized by the new administration as ‘Stargate project’will cost 500,000 million dollars. This money will leave the coffers of the Japanese investment group SoftBank; of those of OpenAI, the creators of Chatgpt; of those of Oracle, and, finally, it will also be provided by the investment firm Emiraratí MGX. Taiwan is going to bet if it fits as strong as the US. And is that, According to ReutersPrime Minister Cho Jung-Tai has confirmed that the government will expand investment in innovation in AI in more than 3,000 million dollars with the purpose of generating more than more than 510,000 million in economic value From here to 2040. This money will come from the administration and from the venture capital companies. Its investment is much more restrained than that of the US, but if we have the difference between the volume of these two economies there is no doubt that Taiwan’s effort is very large. The Taiwanese government will expand investment in innovation in AI in more than 3,000 million dollars And it is because its economy is at stake. In fact, the government expects the development of its infrastructure of the generation of 500,000 new jobs. In addition, he plans to tuning three research laboratories in international reference in a clear attempt to support China’s pulse, which leads with the US in IA. Nevertheless, Cho Jung-Tai has confirmed that there are three other technologies that also have a strategic priority for Taiwan. The first one is the Fotonic silicona discipline that seeks to develop the technology of this chemical element to optimize the transformation of electrical signals into light pulses. The most obvious field of application of this innovation is the implementation of High performance links That, on paper, they can be used both to solve communications between several chips and to optimize the transfer of information between several machines. Another technology that also has enormous strategic importance for Taiwan is the binomial formed by Quantum computing and quantum telecommunications. In this area lead and China lead. And finally, the application of AI to robotics is also essential for the Taiwanese government. In fact, Young Liu, the president of Foxconn, leads a working group called “Great Alliance of the Robotics of Taiwan” who seeks to place the island in the head in a sector that has enormous growth potential.

Brihuega can no longer with tourists who come to their lavender fields

by

“The municipality collapsed, I had a bad time.” The one who speaks is Luis Viejomayor of Br. 3,000 inhabitantsthe overwhelming success of his lavender fields. When plants bloom, in summer, Brihuega is filled with hectares and hectares of violet petals that in turn drag tens of thousands of visitors anxious to achieve the Selfie perfect. That is a blessing that leaves money in the town; But also a curse when, as the mayor acknowledges, the influx of tourists leaves the mother. What happened? That the mayor of Brihuega has recognized that the success of his lavender fields has a difficult face to manage. A few days ago, during An interview With the newspaper ABCOld boast of the attractiveness of his town, but also begged visitors who try not to collapse their streets. “We have a wide tourist, cultural and artistic offer for lavender”, He stressed The councilor. “Of course, I advise you to come to visit us from Monday to Friday, please. On weekends it is more complicated by the large number of people coming.” “I had a bad time”. The mayor does not stay there and recognizes that he has come to see saturation with concern. “Last Saturday, without going any further, the municipality collapsed. I had a bad time,” remember In reference to the 12th. To prevent episodes like this again, in addition to asking tourists to distribute throughout the week, old plans to speed up local transport. “We have to make a deterrent parking on the outskirts of the historic center and connect it with shuttle buses.” The data: 1,000 ha. The tourist success of Brihuega has little mystery: what this small town in Guadalajara has turned into a tourist phenomenon are its lavender fields. The area presumes to have 1,000 hectares of plantations full of flowers that distils to extract essences that are dedicated, for example, to the elaboration of perfumes. “With a lot of meticulousness, we collect millions of purple flowers that will then be distilled in the barrage,” he clarifies. Before the fields offer a unique stamp: a vast horizon of violet petals. FACE A, FACE B. Brihuega’s case is interesting because it reflects the “face A and B” of tourist success. The B, the least friendly, is the one that lamented old: the collapse. A is the return it supposes for the town. In his reportage ABC Slide that lavender flowering leaves eight million euros in just a few weeks. Old Precise that the petals are visible several weeks, which (added to His closeness to Madrid) Explain that last year Brihuega received some 140,000 people. “Managing such public influx in a short time is difficult. We work hard, we have security commission, but it is still a great influx.” Flowers with festival. The truth is that the success of the Brihuega lavender fields are not explained only by networks. The town itself has played a key role by promoting the Lavender festivalwhich has already several years underway and combine the landscape with performances of recognized musicians in Spain. This year, for example, concerts were organized on July 11, 12, 18 and 19 and the secrets, Iván Ferreiro, El Arbato and Beret acted. In past editions they have made it damn Nerea, Víctor Manuel or Luz Casal, to name a few. To their shows are added Other activitiesas lavender -based artisanal workshops. Beyond Brihuega. There is another key and it is the growing interest that awakens “flowering tourism” between a tourist profile that seeks alternative destinations. I recently told Efe in An article In which he points out that, so far this year, this type of tourism has already caught 20% more travelers. In the specific case of Carmona, famous for his Sunflower fieldsthe influx of visitors grew 6% last year and in Moratalla, also known for Your lavenderThe mayor estimates that flowering will attract 15,000 people in just a few months.

He is winning the game to Barajas

Traveling from Santiago de Compostela to Madrid in just over an hour is possible. By plane, of course. The problem is that this travel time is not realistic and that is why the train does not stop gaining adherents in the Galicia-Madrid corridor. Better offer, more comfort and a clear winner: Renfe. More travelers. Specifically 181,588 travelers. Those are the ones who collect The Galician mailhave been mounted on one of Renfe’s trains during the first month in which the company has fully had its high -speed trains, with the entire full hourly offer. The figure is spectacular when compared to the plane. In that same month, airlines have set up 155,715 people aboard their vehicles. It is a historical milestone for a means of transport where the train has always been behind the plane. Looking back. In the Gallego newspaper they explain that evolution has been spectacular. The first works that would end up leading to the current high -speed line began in 2011. Then, only 20,000 travelers opted for the train to move along this line. Today the figure is above 180,000 passengers. Although over the years the train has been stealing passengers, as I reduced travel times, the plane was still the preferred means of transport. In 2019, Renfe moved between 40,000 and 60,000 passengers but air traffic continued to exceed 200,000 passengers. Those times have been left behind. Making the plane back. The opening of high speed has caused A clear traveler transfer to the train. Since last year, Galicia and Madrid are united by high speed. And although arrived late and there was controversy With its trains (including an incomprehensible break with the entrance of the new year), Renfe has added more and more passengers. To the point that the train has the most complete offer of schedules. The airlines have been canceling routes and operating with smaller airplanes because they cannot compete in price or times. Yes, it takes more train but it leaves from the center of the Galician cities and you reach Chamartín, a well connected station in the financial nucleus of Madrid. As if that were not enough, The train is cheaper. Less offer in the air. Collect in The Galician mail which is easy to track to what extent the train is going back to the plane. Galician airports are suffering Partial output of Ryanairwhich has abandoned some routes as a pressure measure before what They consider abusive rates by Aena and against the fine imposed by the Government Retailing hand luggage. But it’s just another example. Although Air Europa does maintain its current offer with 56 weekly flights adding Vigo and A Coruña, Air Nostrum is operating with smaller airplanes to dimension the offer to the new reality. A reef. The result is great for Renfe that has found a trench in front of the competition. In recent weeks the rumor had run that Ouigo was trying to get trains To operate that line. Or, even, it was said that Renfe could rent rolling material. The latter has been totally discarded by its president who has assured that “whoever wants to come (to the Galician corridor), to invest.” The key is that the line needs to operate with specific trains that can change from Iberian wide to international width. However, Talgo has all its compromised production And he has no space to serve Renfe rivals, at least, before this decade ends. Good numbers. Although the information surrounding Renfe turns in recent times around the problems in their trains, the truth is that the company is receiving good news in recent days. According to your own data, the first semester of 2025 He has broken his own record in the travel of travelers. This record is not understood without the great growth in the trips of the Galician corridor. Its high -speed trains to Galicia destination and those dedicated to the Extremaduran corridor High speed trips have fired. In both cases, Renfe does not have to compete with ouigo or Iro that yes They have forced him to lower prices and have stolen customers in the Catalan, Valencian and Andalusian corridor.

Europe had killed its hopes to find oil in the continent. Poland has just changed that

by

“The oil market is misleading.” This is warned by analyst Javier Blas In a recent article for Bloombergwhere he points out that under the apparent price stability a deep transformation that has altered the seasonality of global consumption is hidden. It is no longer winter, but summer, the moment of greatest demand for crude. And in this new scenario, Poland could be facing a turning point: the finding of the largest conventional hydrocarbon deposit in its history, in the waters of the Baltic Sea. A submerged treasure. The Canadian Central European Petroleum (CEP) company, backed by Norway investment, has announced the discovery of the Wolin Este site (We1), located just six kilometers from the coast. TVN24 He has reported That the site includes 22 million tons of oil and 5,000 million cubic meters of natural gas, with a total estimate in the concession of 33 million tons of crude oil and 27,000 million cubic meters of gas. According to calculations cited by BBCthis figure would represent around 200 million barrels of oil, which makes it a strategic finding both for its volume and its location. It doesn’t change everything, but it changes a lot. Poland consumes about 700,000 barrels of crude oil per day, but its local production does not exceed 18,000. The rest matters. In that context, a discovery that can triple national production represents more than good news: it is a potential turning point. Wolin’s exploitation could multiply national production by three, according to CEP Executive Director, Rolf Skaar, In statements collected by TVN24. In addition, the crude found has an API index of 33.4, which classifies it as light, that is, easier and more economical to refine. This finding comes when Poland has already taken Russia’s energy distance after the invasion of Ukraine: it has connected to Norwegian gas through Baltic Pipe, has reinforced its import capacity of LNG since świnoujście and has diversified its access to crude oil through Naftaport, in Gdansk. But still depending, to a large extent, abroad. Wolin can start changing that. From the finding to extraction. The concession of Wolin, of 593 km², was perforated by the specialized platform Noble Resolve, reaching a vertical depth of 2,715 meters. The We1 well was left in future conditions and geological analysis confirmed a 62 -meter hydrocarbon column in the main dolomite formation (CA₂), As detailed Gospodarka Morska. CEP has already invested about 200 million Zlotys in seismic studies and drilling, and now looks for Polish and international partners to undertake the exploitation phase. Conversations with companies such as PGNIG (now integrated into Orlen) have been restarted after the fusion of state energy. International Resonance. Wolin’s discovery occurs while the international crude oil market navigates uncertain waters. According to ReutersBrent’s futures closed Monday under 70 dollars. The reason: the new sanctions of the European Union against Russia, which now prohibit the importation of refined products in third countries with Russian crude, such as India. Although analysts believe that the supply will find new paths, concerns arise about the impact on the diesel market, more difficult to replace. That tension adds an important nuance: the new deposits in European soil are not only an energy advantage, but also a geostrategic asset. And now what? The new site will not solve the Polish energy dependence on its own, but it could mark a turning point. As the energy expert points out Wojciech Jakóbik in BBC, the finding “will strengthen energy security, provided that estimates are confirmed in practice and develop the necessary infrastructure.” Today, it is not clear if a new pipeline will be built or existing infrastructure will be used. Meanwhile, CEP holds conversations with multiple actors and, as Jakóbik recalls, the project requires companies with “greater risk tolerance and investment capacity”. An energy window in convulsive times. The discovery in the Baltic Sea comes just when the global market enters its moment of maximum seasonal demand, in the middle of the northern hemisphere. As Bloomberg explained, the seasonality of crude has changed: it is no longer winter, but the summer months that mark consumption roofs. The big question is whether Poland can take this opportunity without repeating the mistakes of the past. The window is open. But it will not be forever.

What the failure of the “antiapagones decree” implies for Spain

by

The Congress of Deputies rejected on Tuesday, July 22 The so -called “antiapages” decree, a rule that sought to reinforce the electrical system after the blackout last April 28. The parliamentary defeat. The text, approved in the Council of Ministers as Royal Decree-Law 7/2025did not achieve the necessary support for his validation: 183 votes against 165 in favor. Among the negative votes were those of PP, Vox, Podemos, Junts, BNG and UPN, in addition to the deputy of the Aragonese Chunta integrated in Addar, Jorge Pueyo, who broke the vote discipline. This varapalo, which arrives just before the summer break, prevents the application of a package of urgent technical measures for the Spanish energy system. The norm sought, among other things, to improve the supervision of the electricity grid, to facilitate access to new industries, promote self -consumption and penalize breaches by large electricity. Not so bad. Although the Government managed to move forward six of the seven laws that led to the plenary, the fall of the most strategic decree of the day left a feeling of defeat. As RTVE picked upfrom Montevideo, where he is on tour, Pedro Sánchez tried to remove iron from the matter: “Not so bad,” said government sources recognize their “disappointment” to what they consider a vote “against the general interest.” Behind the rejection. The reasons that have ended in this situation are as diverse as the matches that have lying it. On the one hand, the Popular Party has considered that the norm was an undercover support for an energy policy that they consider failed and unre transparent, in addition to criticizing that there has been no resignation after the blackout of April 28. On the other hand, Podemos has unmarked from its government partners when considering that the decree did not contain real sanctions against the electric oligopoly and have labeled it with “legislative makeup” without transformative effects. In the case of Vox, the rejection has been ideological and frontal to any initiative of the Executive. Other formations such as Junts and BNG have interpreted the text as an excessive assignment to large energy companies and wanted to mark distances at a key moment of negotiation with the government. Together, the norm has ended up being a victim of a fragmented legislature, of cross interests and of the political distrust even within the block that supports the Executive. The origin of the decree. As detailed by the jumpthe decree was born in June after a report that was blamed for the blackout of April 28 to Red Eléctrica de España and the great generators (Endesa, Iberdrola, Naturgy). The measures, as explained by Vice President Third Sara Aagesen, intended to prevent new crises such as that and unlock pending projects in a saturated electrical system. Aagesen appealed to the “social consensus” behind the norm, which had the support of business associations, environmentalists and the renewable sector. By eating the decree. The Royal Decree-Law 7/2025 was more technical than political, but with deep implications. According to the jumpsome of its keys were greater public control (such as CNMC reports more frequent More agile authorizations, even with the possibility of sharing connection points. Despite not containing a structural transformation of the energy model or a public company, some groups celebrated it as a “first step” to decentralize the system. As noted from the same media, the Alliance for Self -Consumption, which brings together more than 60 social entities, described the decree as “the great lever” to democratize energy. It was also positively valued for allowing renewable energies to act as support energy, a function so far reserved for thermal plants. The theme is deeper. The Spanish electrical system is saturated: only one in ten requests for access to the network was met in 2024, despite the fact that there was unused technical capacity, such as have pointed out in the Energy newspaper. This rigidity is a brake for strategic industrial projects such as green hydrogen, battery manufacturing or data centers, that require agile and stable connections. The decree tried to anticipate these problems with more dynamic planning and proactive regulations, in line with the recommendations of the European Commission. Once summer ends. The Government has announced its intention to reformulate the text, but the coup is significant. Meanwhile, the PP plans to present an alternative law together with the Autonomous Communities. According to expansionthe employers of the energy sector ask for quick solutions and warn of the risks for competitiveness if it does not act urgently. Every month of delay represents lost opportunities to attract green and industrial investment. A blocked opportunity. The antiapages decree was not perfect, but necessary, according to a good part of the sector. Its rejection shows the limitations of Spanish energy policy, where faced interests, power struggles and internal distrust weigh more than climatic or industrial urgency. Now, while the country dealt with a collapsed electricity and the ghost of new blackouts, the clock is still running. And every month without a solution is a less opportunity to lead the energy transition that Europe demands and that Spain could lead.

Two gigantic parks that will make “sponges”

by

The Generalitat Valenciana has presented your strategy to deal with future floods after Dana’s disaster: The creation of two huge green corridors that will occupy 1,500 hectares and work as water absorption areas. The project, baptized as “Parque de la Esperanza”, will require an investment of more than 150 million euros and aims to become one of the largest metropolitan parks in Europe. What includes the plan. The project includes two large green axes of 35 kilometers of total extension. The first will expand the current Turia channel in 10.5 additional kilometers, connecting the heading park with the mount of La Vallesa. The second will take place in the area most affected by the Dana on October 29, with a main section of 18.5 kilometers from the Albufera to Picanya and another secondary of 5.5 kilometers between La Torre, Massanassa and Catarroja, following the route of the ravine of the poyo. Seeking to replicate the work of the Albufera. The Dana disaster, which claimed the lives of 228 people, demonstrated the vulnerability of the area to such meteorological catastrophe. At that time, the albufera acted as a natural laminator, absorbing part of the water and avoiding major damage. Now the idea with this project is Replicate this capacity in a planned way in areas that can serve to cushion damage to future overflows. How will it work. These spaces will act as giant “sponges”, absorbing excess water in times of torrential rains and allowing a controlled water release. The project includes the plantation of 100,000 trees and the creation of water sheets integrated in the landscape. Eduardo Rojas, UPV professor, commented that the sediments dragged by the Dana They will be reused to adjust the land levels and protect the inhabited areas of future overflows. Between the lines. Beyond its defensive function, the initiative also seeks transform agricultural land devastated in climatic shelters and public leisure spaces connected by cyclopeatonal roads. President Carlos Mazón has taken advantage of the presentation to criticize The lack of economic support from the central government, insisting that it is “a matter of state” that the Generalitat is facing “practically alone.” Next steps. The 2026 regional budgets will include an initial game of two million euros for the development of the project. The Generalitat will also explore European financing and public-private collaboration through CO2 emission compensation mechanisms. The Plan has the technical support of the Polytechnic University of Valencia and the Center for Environmental Studies of the Mediterranean, although there is still no specific date for the execution of the project. Lessons learned. The Dana showed problems that came long. Decades of construction in flood risk areascareless ravines and Lack of infrastructure They were some of the ingredients that ended up magnifying the tragedy. Criticism also pointed to alert managementwith Mazón in the main focus. This new plan seeks to turn the situation by creating spaces where water can run safely.
