They are already the nationality that adds the most new members in Spain, surpassing Colombians

Spain closed 2025 with more than 3.1 million foreign contributors to Social Securityand with a growing weight of immigration in job creation. Official data not only show that a good part of the new work generated in Spain is being filled with labor from other countries, but also that the nationality of these new affiliates is also changing. In 2025, Venezuelans have become the nationality that has grown the most in new foreign affiliations to Social Security, above Colombians. This means that they lead the increase in registrations during the last year, but they are not the largest group if we look at the total number of foreign affiliates, a place that continues to be occupied by workers from Morocco and Romania. Record number of foreign affiliates in 2025. According to December 2025 dataSocial Security registered 3,135,581 foreign affiliates after adjusting for calendar and seasonality, which represents more than 800,000 contributors than before the labor reform and almost a million more than those registered before the pandemic. This increase implies that the workers of foreign origin They contributed 40.4% of the total new affiliations to Social Security. That is, just over four out of every ten new contributors in 2025 were of foreign nationality. Its weight within the whole labor market has also strengthenedand foreigners already represent 14.12% of the total members, six tenths more than in 2024. “The 2025 balance shows that the contribution of foreign people is structural and decisive for employment growth, the sustainability of the pension system and the shared prosperity of our country,” said the Minister of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration, Elma Saiz. in a statement. Venezuelans: the nationality that is growing the most. Within this general increase, the Venezuelan community is the one that concentrates the largest increase in new foreign affiliates in 2025. workers arriving from Venezuela They formalized 40,614 new affiliations compared to those registered in 2024, adding a total of 215,735 Venezuelans. This represents an annual growth of 23.2% and places them as the group that has registered the most new registrations in Social Security in the last year. This jump places Venezuelans in 19.8% of the total new registrations of foreign people, so that almost one in every five new affiliations of immigrants was workers. from Venezuela. The figure consolidates an upward trend that has been observed for almost a decade, but marks a turning point in 2025 by becoming for the first time the nationality that has grown the most in relative terms, placing itself ahead of Colombians who also marked a historical rise. Colombians: more numerous but with less growth. Although Venezuelans have led the increase in new memberships, Colombians remain the largest community in terms of total memberships. At the end of 2025, the system registered around 250,248 Colombian workers, compared to the 212,319 registered in 2024. This represents an increase of 28,929 new members, leaving a growth of 13% compared to last year. Colombians are the largest Latin American nationality in Spain, at least in terms of employment, but they remain behind the 373,000 affiliates from Morocco and the more than 330,000 from Romaniawhich are the most numerous nationalities in terms of affiliation of foreign workers. Key support for the labor market. According to Ministry data, the weight of foreign workers is especially concentrated in sectors where the demand for labor is more intense, such as hospitality (28.8%), agriculture (26%) or construction (23.2%). In these areas, immigrants represent a very relevant part of the workforce and help sustain activity in campaigns and work peaks. At the end of 2025, foreign self-employed workers reached 496,888, marking a historical maximum and growing 6.3% year-on-year. The greatest growth of these new self-employed workers has been registered in the Information and communications sectors (25.9%) and in Energy Supply (22%).

Spain adds eight more billionaires in 2025. A single fortune accounts for six out of every ten euros: Amancio Ortega, of course

Before the arrival Christmas lottery and change the luck of some people, the latest report ‘Billionaire Ambitions 2025’ from UBS, reveals that Spain is experiencing a new leap in the elite of great fortunes, with more billionaires than a year ago. But that’s not all, since the report indicates that not only has the number of billionaires increased, but the volume of existing assets has also grown. That is, richer than they are richer. The rest of us mortals only hope to be healthy after the Lottery draw. Spain wins “ultra-rich.” He UBS report points out that in Spain there are already 32 people with assets exceeding 1,000 million dollars. This represents a net increase of eight new ultra-rich in the last year since the same 2024 report recorded 27 assets over one billion in Spain. UBS calculates that, together, these 32 great fortunes reach 213.1 billion dollars, equivalent to about 182.6 billion euros, as calculated Forbes. …and they are getting richer. This equity volume represents a growth of 21.5% compared to the previous year, an increase that UBS links to the good performance of some of the main businessmen in the country and to the greatest concentration of assets in the hands of a few families. According to these same sources, Spanish billionaires have added around 11.6 billion dollars (about 9.94 billion euros) to the national wealth in the last year, reinforcing the weight of this small group in the economy. Six out of every ten euros in the hands of Amancio Ortega. Within this new photo of the new ultra-rich in Spain that UBS has left, the weight of the enormous concentration of wealth in a single person has not gone unnoticed: Amancio Ortega, founder of Inditex. The UBS report indicates that the Ortega’s heritage It has remained at average levels of $124.1 billion during the last two quarters of 2025, after having increased its fortune by about $21 billion in just one year. This increase marks Ortega as the owner of approximately 58.2% of all the combined wealth of Spanish billionaires. That is, about six out of every ten euros of that group are concentrated in their personal fortune. The solidity of Pontegadea and the “great success” of Inditex. The strong increase in Ortega’s assets in 2025 is explained, to a large extent, by the strength of investments of Pontegadea, already converted into one of the real estate most solvent in Europeand by the behavior of Inditex on the stock market. In fact, Ortega’s textile empire has recently experienced one of the days most bullish of the yearin which each share of the company rose by around 8.9%, closing with a revaluation of 8.86%. This surge in the stock market has directly impacted the wealth of Ortega, who controls 59.294% of the capital of Inditex, causing the valuation of his fortune to skyrocket by $16,100 to the current $140.2 billion. assigns Forbes on your list.

The Logitech MX Master 4 adds the haptic response to its arsenal

If there is a mouse that has managed to position yourself as a reference in this segment, that is the Logitech MX Master. This peripheral manufacturer found the perfect formula in a device that managed to combine ergonomics and benefits almost impeccably already in its first version, launched ten years ago. And we say “almost” because in Logitech it was launching successive somewhat improved versions. He Logitech MX Master 2S (2017) improved the sensor resolution up to 4,000 DPI. Then they would arrive MX Master 3 (2019) with some changes in buttons and wheel, and the MX MASTER 3S (2022), with 8,000 dpi sensor and quieter clicks. The design, with tiny differences, never changed. That inheritance also remains in the new Logitech MX Master 4the last iteration of this mouse that maintains that format, which is slightly more bulky somewhat heavier (150 g compared to 141 of its predecessor) but above all has a unique novelty. An haptic sensor that wants to give a lot of play It is an haptic engine located in the area where the thumb reposes – we remember, this is a mouse for right -handed. Thanks to this “haptic panel” we will notice that type of response if for example we click that area, which will also launch a small on -screen tool “ACTIONS RING” (“Ring of Actions”). That is the “Ring of Actions” that we will see on screen when “click” on the haptic sensor with the thumb. We can associate any shortcut to that Actions ringsand we can even explore complex shortcuts consistent in a chain of actions. To use these options, yes, we will have to make the most of the company’s own software, called Logi Options Plus. It is also possible to receive a haptic response when certain types of simple actions are detected. For example, The sensor can vibrate slightly if we pass from one window to anotherwhich will help us realize more quickly where the mouse pointer or cursor is. That is the fundamental difference of a mouse that It is essence an MX Master 3s with that new haptic sensor. There are some small changes, such as the fact that the receiver included in the Windows model is USB-C and not USB-A. In everything else it is practically identical to its predecessor, and we retain both the resolution of 8,000 DPI and the Magspeed wheel – disappointments of up to 1,000 lines per second – and the buttons and the rest of the design elements. As in the whole family, this is a perfect mouse for large users and those who like the hand to rest on the mouse. If you are looking for a mouse of guarantees, it is certainly a fantastic product, but if you already had a previous model it is likely that the update does not make so much sense. The good news, yes, is that the price has not risen. In fact it has dropped slightly. Thus, the new Logitech MX Master 4 It is available for 129.99 euroswhen the launch price of its predecessor was 135 euros. Good news for potential buyers. I keep enduring With my MX Master of First Generationwhich certainly says a lot about the durability of the product.

The candidate for the middle range repeats formula and adds a new ingredient

Samsung has a new secret weapon to conquer the mid -range of 2025. The Samsung Galaxy A56 5G is a dish made with the same usual recipe, but with a very typical ingredient of Samsung: The integration of artificial intelligence. This mid -range galaxy does not give up one of the fashion characteristics, as well as small improvements in hardware to remain a firm aspiring for the best middle range of the year. I have had some first impressions with this phone, and I tell you what I found in this first contact. Samsung Galaxy A56 5g, technical file Samsung Galaxy A56 5g Dimensions and weight 162.2 x 77.5 x 7.4 mm 198 grams screen Super AMOLED of 6.7 inches FullHD resolution Refresco rate: 120 Hz Vision Booster HBM: 1,200 nits CORNING GORILLA GLASS VICTUS+ processor Samsung Exynos 1580 GPU AMD XClipse 540 RAM 8 GB Internal storage 128/256 GB rear camera Angular: 50 MP, F/1.8, AF, OIS Great angle: 12 MP, F/2.2 Macro: 5 MP F/2.4 Front camera 12 MP F/2.2 battery 5,000 mAh Fast charge 45W Operating system Android 15 with One UI 7 connectivity WIFI 6E 5G SA/NSA GPS NFC USB type c others IP67 resistance Galaxy AI Circle to Search price 12/128 GB: 479 euros 8/256 GB: 529 euros A winning design and improved hardware The first thing that attracts attention in the new Samsung Galaxy A56 5G is its design. His predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy A55had the classic rear clean with independent cameras, without any module or strip. In this generation, the new model is committed to A differential design within the Galaxy familywith a strip that unifies the triple camera. In my opinion this is a success, it gives a completely differential touch in front of the rest of his brothers, making it clear that the family A has its own identity. This phone still has one of the best ergonomies on its sides, since on its right it has a cleft so that the thumb fits perfectly. It is also Something lighter and thinin addition to being finished in glass and aluminum, such as the most premium mobiles. About performance, he will touch on the review. The new exynos 1580 is an unknown and, although it comes to compete with the 7th series of MediaTek and Qualcomm, it will see how it behaves in Benchmarks. The first impressions with basic apps and menus are positivebut in the analysis we will deepen how this model behaves in more demanding scenarios. Its panel, 6.7 -inch Superamoled with a maximum brightness of 1,200 nits has seemed correct for its price although, one more year, I think that Working with frontal bezels is improvable. They are, perhaps, too high for a device with a starting price of almost 500 euros. One of the great novelties for this generation is the integration of artificial intelligence. It is something different and a more limited tad than the Galaxy AI of the Galaxy S25, but it has enough functions. Object eliminator Best Face: Edits by the photos in which the subjects come out with their eyes closed or “rare” expressions at the facial level Editing suggestions by AI Personalized filters Automatic video cutting by selecting the best moments for AI Selection by the contents on the screen to perform functions adapted to the content Reading articles and voice web pages This is one of the few mid -range phones in which there is a deep integration of AI, one that we will have to try in depth in the analysis. However, if this integration adds Android 15, One UI 7 a cycle of six -year updates (well above what manufacturers even offers in the high range), the combination is completely winning. A phone that will step loudly in the mid -range No, the Samsung Galaxy A56 5G is not the mid-range phone with better quality-precio, but that is not its goal. This is a phone for which he wants a phone below 500 euros, with reliable and lasting software, a design that is familiar and comfortable, and under the support of one of the largest weight companies in the industry. These first impressions leave us a good taste with their design, screen and potential at the software level. Now he has to conquer performance and chamber.

Parking ticket already adds 201,500 euros

Stations and airport parking are, in all likelihood, one of the busiest points, due to the constant coming and going of passengers and companions. However, instead of forgetting the toothbrush, someone seems to have forgotten a Volkswagen Golf in the short stay of Berlin airport. For a year! In all that time, the counter of the parking meter has not stopped adding. It may seem a funny anecdote, but with what the ticket will cost at the exit, six cars like the one he forgot can be bought. The abandoned car mystery According to him German newspaper Berliner Zeitung, uN Volkswagen Golf of fifth generation, the version sold between 2006 and 2010, has been parked in front of the main door of the Berlin-Brandeburg Airport Willy Brandt for more than a year, without anyone knowing who its owner is. The car, a diesel model with Hannover registration, did not show signs of external damage to the naked eye, except for the obvious dust accumulated by being outdoors for a whole year. But he showed no signs of having been forced. However, the inside the car It showed a very careless appearance. The central console screen was shattered, there were remains of food, wrappers and a half -empty water bottle. From the German medium they describe the appearance of the interior of the vehicle “as if someone had gone in a hurry.” Again, signs of careless use, but There were no obvious samples of having been stolen. In addition, there was a signaling plastic tape knotted to the rear windshield wiper, which added an even more mysterious touch to the situation. Touch the image to go to the original message A parking bill that exceeds, long, the value of the car The German newspaper notes that the Plaza de parking that has “out” This car for a whole year is intended for short stays in front of the flight exit door to leave passengers. These places offer the first 10 minutes free, but then 23 euros are charged per hour as a deterrent method for those who intend to occupy them for a longer time. This means that the parking cost for forgotten golf amounts to 552 euros every day. If that is multiplied by the more than 365 days that has remained forgotten, the bill of That ticket exceeds 201,500 euros. A cost equivalent to what six new Volkswagen Golf would cost. The company that manages the parking lot, Apcoa Deutschland GmbH, contacted the authorities, but according to what was published by Berliner Zeitung, So far no one has been able to locate the owner because the local police have no jurisdiction within the airport and, technically, the parking lot is not publicly, so they have not been able to act and the car is under the management of the winning company. Company sources declared Berliner Zeitung that “due parking quotas may be charged if the car owner is located and this has sufficient financial resources.” Theories about abandonment and lack of denunciation One of the theories is that golf could have been stolen, that false registrations were installed and used to commit a crime. Subsequently, it would have been discreetly abandoned in this airport parking. The truth is that the abandonment of vehicles in airports is not anecdotal. There have been cases of people who have returned to their countries of origin, leaving their cars in the parking lot. Another possibility is that the person who parked it there changed the enrollment intentionally to avoid being tracked, and thus Save the management of the casualty of the vehicle. However, all this are just speculation trying to find something as incredible as the car is forgotten in a parking lot, although we cannot say that it is something impossible. A millionaire forgot his Ferrari F40 in a parking lot in Munich for a decade. It is strange that no one has denounced the presence of this car for so long. A vehicle parked right at the entrance of the airport, in such a visible place, usually caught attention and would be removed quickly. However, this golf has remained there a whole year without anyone doing anything about it. What will happen to golf and its debt Although there are many cases of abandoned cars in airports that end up being auctioned, the situation of this golf is different due to the enormous accumulated debt. According The published in Autobildif the car had been abandoned in Spain, the concessionary company of the parking lot could process its withdrawal and scrapping, after showing signs of abandonment, although the process can take up to six months. Meanwhile, the mystery continues. The car frame number, visible on the windshield, could be the key to identifying the owner, but for now the golf remains an enigma at the Berlin airport.
