Ryanair has put Spanish province airports with their cuts with their cuts. Despite this, it will grow in 100,000 squares

by

Ryanair will increase its seat offer in Spain by 0.5% during the 2025-2026 winter season, which is equivalent to about 100,000 additional places. So far, the airline continued with its strategy of Remove places at regional airports Spanish in response to the increase in AENA’s airport rates. This time, the movement has been the opposite, although it was expected, because the firm prefers to concentrate the fleet in the most profitable destinations. Cuts. Ryanair will reduce its capacity in northern cities and island regions, although The global balance is positive. In addition, there has been airplane repositioning: the two devices retired from Santiago de Compostela will move to Malaga and Alicante, remaining in Spanish territory. The company seeks that its airplanes fly more hours and generate greater return per passenger, something simpler in large tourist cities. This movement adds to The 800,000 squares already eliminated Before summer in airports such as Santiago, Vigo, Tenerife Norte, Santander, Zaragoza, Asturias and Vitoria, who in some cases have meant the dismissal of a hundred employees. Who wins and who loses. The Mediterranean will be the great beneficiary. Malaga, Alicante and Valencia will absorb the bulk of growth, with increases that could achieve Between 10% and 14% At Alicante airport, exceeding 10 million seats. The Costa Blanca Tourism Board of Tourism figure the increase in more than 4.3 million places from Alicante-Elche. This Thursday will start The presentation act of the winter operation with an event in Malaga that will be attended by Mayor Francisco de la Torre, where it is expected to know the increase in routes and frequencies from the Costa del Sol. Seville will maintain its stable offer. The great affected. On the opposite side, Santiago will suffer a collapse Of 80%, Vigo of 73%, Asturias of 16%, Santander of 38%and Zaragoza of 45%. The Canary Islands will lose more than 400,000 places, with the total closure of operations in Tenerife North and descents in Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. The Balearic Islands will also notice the withdrawal, with a 6% drop in the middle of the low season. Even Madrid and Barcelona, ​​the two great airports of the country, They will see their capacity fall by 3% and 5% respectively. The airline He has threatened In addition to reducing another million seats next summer if Aena does not reduce airport rates. The pulse with Aena continues. Eddie Wilson, CEO of Ryanair, justifies The redistribution of the fleet through airport rates ensuring that “our personnel costs, route rates, maintenance, sales or fuel are the same in any country. The only variable costs are handling and airport rates, and if they rise in Spain and go down another place, we will go there.” Michael O’Leary, executive president of the airline, will travel to Madrid in October to address with the government the lack of incentives to regional airports and the fine of 107 million euros imposed by consumption for the collection of hand suitcases, a sanction that the airline has resorted to considering it contrary to European regulations. The answer from Aena. Maurici Lucena, president of Aena, responded To Aena’s pressures ensuring that “he uses them because he freely wants to do it and because it is convenient. Contrary to what Ryanair’s public statements hint, Aena will never accept transforming the relationship of symbiosis into a vassalage relationship, as the airline intends, because the Spanish airport system would seriously harm.” Despite the cuts, there is growth. Despite the threats and the announced cuts, Ryanair has requested more holes between hours than last season, a “quantitative discrepancy” highlighted by Lucena himself. The airline It is still the first in Spain with 46.7 million passengers until August, far ahead of Vueling (33.2 million) and the Iberia group (29.6 million).

The CAF equilibrium set and its light harmony in Jerusalem

by

The “great Spanish rail giant.” That is the denomination that is usually used to talk about construction and railway assistant. CAF, as this internationally recognized trains and rail supplier is popularly known. A Spanish company, from Guipozcoa, who is reaping huge contracts outside our borders. And that is also in the international view. CAF. It is one of those companies that sounds to us its logo and its acronym. You know you’ve seen it but you may not be very clear where or in which sector you can place it. It is not so weird, do not worry, although CAF is among the 200 largest Spanish companies. To get an idea of ​​its size, In 2024 he billed 4,200 million euros and generated more than 100 million euros of benefit. In Euskadi it has some 3,000 employees But it has more than 16,000 people hired throughout the world, since the bulk of its business is in Europe (58%) but also has projects in America and Asia-Pacific. Israel. It is precisely one of his projects abroad that is generating great headaches to the company. The company has been working with the Israeli Shapir to build and expand the red and green lines of the Light Jerusalem Rail. The project is not any nonsense. It is valued at 1.8 billion euros of which CAF should pocket 500 million if you deliver its part in a timely manner. In addition, it would manage 50% of exploitation of extension over a period between 15 and 25 years. Settlements. For CAF, being immersed in a project delivered by Israel already should be a problem, taking into account the genocide that is being carried out in the Gaza Strip. But, as if that were not enough, we talk about building 50 stations along 27 kilometers of new roads … in illegal settlements. On this map It is observed how Israel is expanding both lines to unite the illegal settlements of Jerusalem is already built with those of west Jerusalem. The Palestine Liberation Organization (OP) assures That the final intention of this type of infrastructure is to create permanent links between these spaces to hinder the reversal of its entity and its return to Palestine. International pressure. This position is not only defended by the OLP. The Special Rapporteur before the United Nations Human Rights Council published the report From the economy of occupation to the economy of genocide. In it he pointed to CAF as one of the companies that does business with illegal Israeli occupations. Amnesty International also asked To governments that take into account which companies under their umbrella are taking advantage of this situation. And pointed to CAF directly: “The company has only ignored the different resolutions of the United Nations Security Council, the European Union and the International Court of Justice that Israeli settlements consider illegal in occupied Palestinian territory, as well as the fact that the United Nations Human Rights Council itself declared illegal the project of this tram in 2016 and 2017 stating that ‘clearly violates international law and relevant resolutions of UN “ What does Caf say. The last point they point out from Amnesty International has a lot of relevance. The company indicated in its sustainability reports that “the Light Rail project is in territories that are subject to political controversy (…) No violation of human rights derived from the participation of the CAF group has been detected in any project.” In addition, CAF has also published Recently a document in which your role in the project, ensuring the following: “Beyond compliance with the applicable regulatory framework, CAF is firmly committed to business ethics and respect for human rights in all its operations, including the value chain, based on the highest standards of responsibility and transparency. For this, CAF has a series of norms, procedures and systems, adopted to the highest level, which make up a complete compliance system, application to the entire group, as well as the third The purpose of preventing and acting against any behavior that could be contrary to ethics, the law or the internal normative system of CAF. And emphasize that the project was awarded in 2019. 2019. The Spanish company defends itself by ensuring that this project was awarded in 2019 by omitting any reference to a previous date. They point out that the approval was given before Hamas to Israel’s attack and the subsequent invasion of the Gaza Strip. But what is overlooked, as they explain in Amnesty International, is that the project had already declared illegal by the United Nations Human Rights Council in 2016 and 2017. In fact, in fact, in fact, French company Alstom ended up coming out of the same Shortly before the entry of CAF after the pressures received although, yes, at no time were political reasons alleged since the company maintained a project in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv. Too much money? Indicated by entities such as the United Nations Human Rights Council or Amnesty International, CAF is in the spotlight both inside and Out of our borders. In fact, his participation in the Israeli project was one of the alleged reasons to try to prevent the Spanish company from being done with The so -called “Century Contract”which could report up to 3,400 million euros for supplying SNCB trains (the Belgian Renfe). Within our borders, the debate has also reached institutions. From the PNV they ensure that CAF is being pointed out by “responsibilities that do not correspond to it” and that terminating the contract (as they ask from the Elkarrekin we can) “could mean the closure of the company or take it out”, in words collected by The mail. Other companies. As we said, the Israeli project of this lightwail to connect illegal settlements has already caused the exit of Alstom before 2019 but, derived from the genocide that Israel is carrying out in the Gaza Strip, some other Spanish companies have also stopped working for that state. Without leaving Euskadi, The … Read more

Incinerators are growing both in Europe that they are becoming a problem. The bad news is that we do not know how to solve it

by

“Every year We produce 2,000 million tons. They are everywhere, but since it is something disgusting, we do not think about it. “Oliver Franklin-Wallis, author of the excellent ‘said it.Dump‘(Captain Swing, 2025) and is right. What happens is that in Europe they forced us to think about it. And China did. In 2018, China left half the world game and He got fed up being the landfill in developed countries. This may surprise many, under the great speeches of ‘green revolution’ and care of the environment, what there was basically to pack up everything we generated and send it to China. Until, as I say, Beijing said ‘Enough’. And it wasn’t a joke. During 2019, The importation of plastics of the Asian country fell 99%those of paper 30% and those of aluminum and glass around 20%. Only if we take into account that 95% of European plastics and 70% of Americans end up there, we can understand The magnitude of the problem. We look for the exit, of course. During the following years, millions of tons of garbage They redirected the Gulf of Guinea, to the Southeast Asia And basically a Any site that was arranged To accept them. But we all knew that the problem was structural: for decades we have been dismantling the continental recycling system. That is, we had no capabilities to assume it. And, although the European Commission has considered various plans (from promoting the creation of recycling plants throughout the continent to “generate jobs and take care of their own waste” to ‘convince’ the market with taxes that they penalize the products created with new plastics), the truth is that only garbage was buried or burned. In fact, today, we burn “60 million tons of municipal waste.” And that worries many. So much that, in recent days, more than 150 organizations They have asked To the European Union “a moratorium throughout the EU On the new waste incinerators (R1 and D10), together with gradual reduction strategies of the existing incineration capacity and an increase in investment in circular economy infrastructure, such as reuse systems, composting and recycling technologies. “ It is not a coincidence. Everyone who is up to date with the problem knows that, without pressures, the expansion of incineration will grow. And that will have climatic consequences (according to the latest studies It generates more carbon than fossil fuels), but also toilets. The question is if we have an alternative. And, honestly, it is not clear. Europe is increasingly cornered And what seemed before us impossible responses begin to become reasonable exits. “Incinerate as if there was no tomorrow” begins to be in that category of things. Stop it will be complicated. Image | Jonathan Kemper | The Blowup In Xataka | We have been recycling the garbage we produce. Experts say it has not served at all

of torrential rains in heat

by

I know it can be difficult to believe it after seeing how more than 300 liters per square meter fall in Ibiza and its streets They become Ríosbut there is life after Hurricane Gabrielle and the episode of torrential rains of recent days. What happens is that, in the short term, that life is dry. Very dry. And the reason has a name and surname: positive nao. What is positive nao? The North Atlantic oscillation It is the ‘dance’ between the Azores anticyclone and the loss of Iceland, the two great atmospheric phenomena that govern the meteorology of the North Atlantic. When the index we use to “measure who is winning” is negative, the anticyclone of the Azores is weaker than normal and, therefore, cannot block the deep storms of the Atlantic. The direct consequence is that, they circulate further south than usual: just our latitude. Now, on the other hand, the indicator is positive and that means that a drop of moisture will not enter from the west. The storms will move towards high latitudes (near Iceland and the Nordic countries). That does not mean that it will not rain in the next few days. No, it is a bit more complex. Because it will rain (residual showers) in the Mediterranean. But as the lifting and cold air flow is blurred, the pattern change will be radical. The start date is clear. As of Saturday, October 4, That pattern change will become a patent Throughout Western Europe: the areas of the south of continent will be under the influence of a huge area of ​​high subtropical pressures. What we are not so clear is when to end. On paper, the situation seems very persistent and we can almost take it that will be with us at least a week. That is between 1 and 3 degrees above normal. Not much, but notable. However, we are in autumn and That means “A tremendously unstable atmosphere.” No one knows what will happen next. The danger of the north. Above all, because positive nao means a blockade in the west, but It does not imply anything about the north. At any time, a Dana could be offended from high latitudes and revolutionize the tranquility of the next few days. And it is not good news? In isolated terms, the truth is that it is neither good nor bad news. It is what there is. In the end, the country’s reservoirs They are much better Not only last year, but the average of the last ten years. But that “water mattress” will not last forever and, although we usually forget it, autumn is an especially important station for reserves. “In general terms, autumn usually records more accumulated than winter in the whole of our country,” Yurima Celdrán said. If we lose it, we will be facing the next drought with a hand tied behind the back.

In which waters Israel is to intercept ships

by

There were no surprises. Although Warnings of several governments (including Spanish) The ships of the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) have remained advanced towards the coast of Gaza, where in the last hours they met The brake of the Israeli armed forces. Both Tel Aviv and GSF have shared images of the approach, in which It can be seen for example to Greta Thunberg between soldiers after her vessel entered the “High risk zone”. The big question is … What exactly is that of the “high -risk area”? Can the Israeli State act in its waters? Do you protect international law when you do? What happened? That Israel has frustrated the plans of the Global Sumud Flotilla, the international mission formed by dozen ships that intended to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza and break the blockade to which the strip is subjected, where a serious famine is suffered recognized For the UN. As they have confirmed so much The Government Headed by Benjamin Netanyahu as his own Global Sumud Flotillathe Hebrew armed forces yesterday intercepted several boats of the squad, including its three main ships. Click on the image to go to Tweet. Where did they stop them? That is the key. GSF points out that the ships were intercepted to 70 nautical miles (almost 130 kilometers) of the coast of Gaza. On Wednesday, when most of the flotilla was still 115 miles (more than 200 km) from Gaza, their responsible They warned of the presence of drones and maneuvers that interpreted as the first intimidating acts of the Israeli naval force. Actually the Netanyahu government (and other authorities, such as the Italian executive) It takes days Insisting the flotilla that downloads its cargo in Greece or Cyprus, a possibility that activists They have ruled out flat. Why is it important? The exact point in which Israel intercepted the main ships of the humanitarian flotilla (before that GSF denounced that Tel Aviv had “intentionally damaged” ship communications) is not a simple curiosity. The organization assures that the Hebrew forces boarded their ships in “international waters” and speak of an “illegal” intervention. From the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs They hold They already warned GSF ships that they were approaching “an active combat zone” and its unwlighted “a legitimate naval block.” Yesterday they insisted in fact on their offer to “peacefully transfer their cargo to help Gaza for” safe channels. “ Does Israel control that area? The big question. In recent days, as the flotilla ships approached the coast of Gaza, there has been talk of “High risk zone”, “exclusion zone” or even “Active combat zone”as they have described from Tel Aviv. The key is … with international legislation in hand, can the Israeli State exercise military control in the area where the flotilla intercepted? What waters can control? Is it one “Illegal interception”How do you hold those responsible? What does the law say? The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (CDM), 1982, recognizes the existence of a strip of Territorial Sea on which states can exercise full sovereignty. Of course, it limits it to about 12 nautical miles, just over 22 kilometers. Israeli ships would have approached the humanitarian flotilla at a much larger distance, around 69 nautical miles (almost 130 km), according to those responsible. About 3.2 GMT+3 GSF assured That there were still 30 ships that were still heading to Gaza, placing about 46 nautical miles, “despite the incessant aggressions of the Israeli occupation navy.” Is that all? No. In addition to the territorial and sovereign waters of each country, international legislation recognizes riverside countries a larger area called Exclusive economic zone (Zee). Its surface extends much further, to the 200 nautical miles (370 km), although in that sea strip the power of states is something different. As its name indicates, the idea is that countries regulate their economic use, fishing, mining, drilling or energy projects, for example, allowing in theory theory Freedom of navigation. What happens in Israel? GSF claims that the flotilla ships were intercepted in “International Waters”but the truth is that this region of the Mediterranean is in an anomalous situation. Since 2007 Tel Aviv acts there autonomously After applying A block to Gaza who expands by land, tidal and air and intensified in October 2023. Hence “High risk zone”. There is who warns That, beyond the blockade or its greater or lesser right to act in the area, Israel has the obligation to guarantee the arrival of humanitarian aid. Others They point That arriving at the 12 nautical miles on the coast, the flotilla would be in Palestinian waters, not Israelis. The Global Sumud Flotilla is not the first mission that tries to break the blockade. The most popular (and dramatic) case was that of Mavi Marmarain 2010, when an approach to the Israeli navy resulted in Several dead. Yesterday, Minister Margarita Robles asked the members of the flotilla to value the “risk” they assumed and recalled that the Spanish rage ship would not enter the exclusion zone except “in case of absolute necessity” for “rescue work”.

neighborhoods and whole blocks that are not for families, are for workers

by

The idea that a company builds homes to attract or retain labor was promoted In the nineteenth centurywhen industrial paternalism promoted creation of whole neighborhoods Linked to factories, mines or siderurgies. All followed the same logic: guaranteeing accommodation, basic services and even a lifestyle for a captive template, often in areas where there was no previous infrastructure. What changes now is the context. It is no longer about so much business paternalism or “utopian” projects of social order. It is about responding to the real estate and demographic crisis. Retain labor. Yes, in Europe, the housing problem has become a direct obstacle to economic activity. In Brittany, the company Fenêtréa decided act After verifying that each available rent attracted hundreds of applications and that many candidates rejected positions due to lack of ceiling. Its director, Dominique Lamballe, launched the construction of the Horizon Brocelia Lot: 41 houses with garage, raised in Beignon, which can be bought or rented with priority for employees. The investment of more than seven million euros It seeks to guarantee the growth of a company that increases dozens of workers every year and prepares a new aluminum plant. In a rural region without adequate transport, the next accommodation becomes a survival condition for the company. The Spanish mirror: tourism. Spain offers even more visible examples, especially in tourist areas where the boom in the holiday rental has reduced the long -term to minimum offer. Meliá has been forced To buy a hostel In Menorca and to acquire land in Ibiza, Mallorca and the Canary Islands to create homes for their staff, after they stay employees in hotel rooms to avoid casualties. Spring Hotels has bought two unfinished buildings in Tenerife to transform them into 107 homes that It will lease staff and controls at subsidized prices, between 200 and 400 euros. Barceló and Gloria Thalasso They join To the search for solutions, aware that the lack of housing threatens the tourist model itself. The phenomenon reflects how, in the Balearic Islands or the Canary Islands, above all, hoteliers have gone from being pointed out as part of the problem to be forced to assume a role of residential promoters. Hotel zone in southern Gran Canaria The Irish case. In Ireland, the housing crisis has reached such magnitude that private companies have opted for Acquire block housing. Ryanair He bought 40 houses Next to the Dublin airport to allocate them to their crew, aware that without an insured roof there would be no way to recruit new staff. The measure raised criticism for absorbing part of the low new work, but its CEO defended That without her there would be no template. Other companies such as Musgrave, Supermacs or Killarney Hotels too They offer dozens of floors For subsidized rent. The unions denounce that salaries, well below the escalation of rentals, make it impossible to attract employees if accommodation is not included. The lack of public investment after 2008 left a void that now tries to cover private companies, often As a last resort. Central Europe and a road. The Czech Republic explores a different model, backed by the European Investment Bank and česká Spořitelna, which finances a 700 apartments project destined for public workers in the capital. With a budget of almost 190 million euros and energy efficiency criteria, seeks to guarantee affordable housing for teachers, nurses, police or officials who cannot assume market prices in a saturated city. The project, inspired by previous initiatives of Austria, is the first of this type in the country and intends to serve as a prototype For all central Europewhere the lack of housing threatens the provision of basic services. At the same time, it reinforces the idea that the problem has transcended the social and already impacts the functioning of the State itself. A shared symptom: living conditions work. Beyond specific cases, the phenomenon is already structural. In London, average rentals exceed 2,100 pounds And they have almost impossible for teachers, police and health personnel to live in the capital, which generates recruitment crisis in essential sectors. The disappearance of residential parks for officials He worsened the shortage. In Amsterdam and Dublin, young graduates jobs decline Checking that their salaries do not cover the rent. Even in medium cities like Rennes or Vigo, the rise of tourist rental Reduce the offer For residents and strength to companies to improvise solutions. Housing, traditionally seen as a social problem, has become a central variable for economic competitiveness. Riotinto Company workshop The precedents of the 19th century. We said it at the beginning, the decision that companies build houses for their employees inevitably remembers the workers’ colonies of The industrial revolution. In Catalonia, on the shores of Llobregat and the TER, they flourished Textile colonies that included homes, schools, chapels and economics under the control of the pattern. In Huelva, the Company River He lifted complete neighborhoods for his miners, such as Colonia Reina Victoria. Examples emerged in the United Kingdom As Port Sunlight from Lever Brothers or Bournville of the Cadbury, where the factory organized not only the work, but the social and cultural life of families. In France, The “Cité Ouvrière” De Mulhouse came to host thousands of workers. Those initiatives had a marked paternalistic dye: to ensure stable labor in isolated environments and, at the same time, discipline the working class under the umbrella of the company. Utopian and ordoliberal projects. In transit to the twentieth century projects with more ambitious aspirations appeared, since The garden cities from Ebenezer Howard in the United Kingdom to the workers promoted by large industries in Germany, influenced by Ordoliberalism. One was sought hygienic urbanismwith luminous housing, cultural and sports services, for altarii workers, chemical plants or car factories. Although presented as modernizers, they maintained the Structural dependence: The home was still linked to the company or the State.

Aberting in Spain has become a real odyssey based on the province. So the government has launched a website

by

Spain has an advanced law in abortion, with deadlines until week 14 and assumptions extended until 22. The difficult thing is to take it to the real field. Access depends on the Autonomous Community, the degree of involvement of public health and, too many times, on the economic capacity of women. While the law ensures universal coverage, many interventions are carried out in private and not a few women are forced to move. In that context it is born I want to go .orga portal that aims to become a compass in front of a system that, despite legal reforms, continues to raise obstacles on a day -to -day basis. A new release. The Ministries of Health and Equality have launched a website, presented at the act for the 40 years of the legalization of abortion. The portal offers what the government calls a “safe public space”, designed to guide women in a system that still varies a lot from one autonomous community to another. The platform It has been elaborated For health health health and activists, it is based on scientific evidence and guidelines of organizations such as WHO, Figo, Fiapac or Sego, and has the accreditation of the College of Physicians of Barcelona. It is not just an informative portal, what it seeks is to offer practical guidance, accompaniment and concrete resources. Therefore, the website includes a WhatsApp number attended by professionals from Monday to Friday, as well as a telephone line available on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, managed by formed volunteers. In addition, it will have a legal, emotional and technical support service for women who need to interrupt their pregnancy beyond week 22. The law vs. reality. Spain opened the door to abortion In 1985, although in a very restricted way: only in three assumptions priced by law. The great transformation came in 2010, with A BADE LAW which the decision of women recognized for the first time as sufficient reason until week 14. The norm also contemplated interruptions until Week 22 in medical cases. The last reform arrived in 2023where the three -day reflection period was abolished, the autonomy of children under 16 and 17 years was recognized without the need for paternal permission and the obligation to create a record of objectors of consciousness was established. The latter was carried out so that public health was not overflowed or blocked by the refusal of professionals. In August 2024, only five communities had launched the registration of conscientious objectors – La Rioja, Murcia, Cantabria, Catalonia and the Canary Islands—, According to data cited by the country. The lack of this instrument in the rest generates an unequal application of the law and keeps many women dependent on private clinics or transfers to other provinces. Besides, As Efe points outallegations of harassment persist at the gates of clinics and bureaucratic delays in the procedure. A fragmented map. The Ministry of Health has published that in 2024 106,172 voluntary interruptions of pregnancy (IVE) were recorded, which is equivalent to a rate of 12.36 per 1,000 women between 15 and 44 years. The figure reflects a slight increase Regarding 2023. According to the data, the general photo reveals an obvious gap: almost eight out of ten abortions (78.7%) were carried out in private clinics, while public health assumed only 21.2% of the total. Hence, the website has been launched, designed to overcome the territorial differences that continue to mark real access to abortion. In territories such as Cantabria, more than 88% of IVE are carried out in public hospitals, while in La Rioja and Navarra the proportion exceeds 75%. In Galicia, three out of four abortions are practiced in the public network. The distribution of abortions in Spain reflects unequal access to the public system. In Madrid, more than 162,000 women interrupted their pregnancy in the last decade, but only 177 could do so in a public hospital. In other territories, such as Extremadura, Ceuta and Melilla, official data are even more sharp: not a single procedure was carried out in public health. And in communities such as Aragon, Asturias, Castilla-La Mancha, Murcia, Andalusia or the Basque Country, the proportion did not exceed 5%. This territorial disparity reveals the almost absolute dependence of the private network in much of the country. Critical voices. During the act on the occasion of the 40 years of legalization, activists such as Silvia Aldavert, from the I want to abort, They denounced that many autonomies They interpret the legal deadlines in a restrictive way: “When the law speaks of 14 weeks, it must be 14 + 6 days. In many communities it is interpreted as 14 exact, not one more day.” Minister Ana Redondo He stressed That 80% of IVE are carried out in private clinics, which “violates the principle of territorial equality” and converts abortion into “a class issue.” The cost of moving hundreds of kilometers, asking for free days at work or paying a private clinic makes the difference between being able to exercise the right in decent conditions or not. The testimonies confirm it. The case of Marta Vigara, a woman who was denied a therapeutic interruption in Madrid, uncovered that in some public hospitals There were hardly any abortions and that the usual solution was to refer to the private one. There is also the testimony collected by Newtral De Laura Gil, who had to travel to Brussels to interrupt her 31 weeks pregnancy before the refusal of Spanish clinical committees, an example of how economic capacity acts as a filter. The investigation points to two key factors: systematic outsourcing to private clinics and the objection of consciousness applied collectively, despite the fact that the law establishes that it must be individual and in writing. Conscientious objection as wall. The right of professionals to object is still one of the main pitfalls. “You cannot sacrifice a fundamental right of women at the expense of conscientious objection,” Minister Ana Redondo warnedremembering that the Article 139.1 of the Constitution … Read more

Almost a year after his birth, Amazon Haul It arrives in Spain. Haul is an online store with a simple rule: all products cost less than twenty euros. In fact, most are below ten. Why is it important. Amazon enters, now also in Spain, in a market that have dominated Chinese competitors such as Shein, Temu and Aliexpress. These platforms have conquered millions of Spaniards selling fashion, electronics and accessories at unbeatable prices. And now Amazon wants to replicate that model, but with its own logistics and guarantees, in addition to the persuasion of maintaining its brand. The context. Haul started in November 2024 in the United States. It also has a presence in other markets, such as Germany and the United Kingdom. There the reception has been positive, according to the company, and now lands in Spain with three tens of product categories: fashion, home, accessories … Customers can access Haul From the web and from the Amazon application. Just look for ‘Haul’ or locate it in the menu. Once inside, experience is something different from that of traditional Amazon: it has its own cart, search and payment process. In figures: Free shipping in orders of at least 15 euros. If the order is below, 3.5 euros of standard rate are added. And Amazon applies staggered discounts: 5% discount on purchases of more than 30 euros. 10% discount on orders greater than 50 euros. Yes, but. Delivery deadlines are longer than in the conventional Amazon. Orders arrive in “two weeks or less”, a margin that moves away from the first standard but that remains competitive against Aliexpress or Temu. In addition, Amazon has not announced specific advantages for prime customers in Haul. The two businesses work separately and orders are managed independently. The big question. Can Amazon unseat Asian giants on their own land? The company is committed to its strongest letter: trust. All products pass Amazon verifications and comply with European regulations. Returns are free for 15 days and it is not necessary to print labels or package anything. Just take the product to an authorized point of Celeritas or Seur, as Amazon has been applying. Deepen. Amazon’s strategy is to differentiate itself in verifications and logistics. Shein specializes in fashion and accessories. Temu and Aliexpress bet on a general offer. Haul is closer to the latter, although he also competes directly with Shein in some categories. The objective is clear: that users fill the cart with several articles taking advantage of the staggered discounts, replicating the model that has made Temu popular.
