“The Cayenne Electric marks the beginning of a new era for Porsche.” This is how it starts release that the German company has shared to detail the characteristics of its new SUV. And although it is a speech that sounds familiar to us from any presentation of any type of product, in this case it could not make more sense. On Halloween, Porsche presented its resultsand the figures were not good: losses of 967 million euros when, in 2024, they had had profits of 4,000 million. What has happened in these twelve months is that China has revolutionized the car scene with their electric. The Taycan has not been enoughwe had to react, and the answer is this Porsche Cayenne Electric. Why does an electric car have less autonomy than advertised? And it combines three elements that work: it is an SUV, it is electric and it is Porsche’s best-selling model. The new 100% electric Cayenne It has rained a lot since Porsche will launch the Cayenne in September 2002. It became the dream of many as it was one of the cars that James Bond could drive in the video game ‘all or nothing‘, and also the one preferred by the masses. The SUV has maintained its visual identity throughout the generations, and the electric one does not change too much a formula that has been proven to work. It is a little bigger: 55 millimetersto be exact. It measures 4,985 mm long, 1,980 mm wide and 1,674 mm high. The difference between the previous model and the electric one is greatest in the wheelbase, which is now 3,023 mm (13 millimeters longer than the previous one). And the trunk has a capacity of 90 liters for the front and between 781 and 1,588 liters in the main one, depending on how we configure the seats. If some sensations of the brand’s sportiness were already transmitted in the fuel models, in the new Cayenne Electric Porsche points directly to the Formula E. Before we get into that, it will arrive in two versions. On the one hand, the Cayenne Electric as access to the range: All-wheel drive. 408 HP (300 MW) in normal mode. 442 HP (325 MW) in Launch Control mode. Acceleration 0-100 in 4.8 seconds and maximum of 230 km/h. On the other hand, the Cayenne Electric Turbo: All-wheel drive. Up to 1,156 HP (850 MW) with Launch Control and 1,500 Nm of torque. In normal mode, 857 HP (630 MW) with ‘Push-to-Pass’ function that activates another 176 HP for 10 seconds. Acceleration from 0-100 in 2.5 seconds, from 0-200 in 7.4 seconds and maximum of 260 km/h. In addition to the power that each one delivers, there are important differences in both cooling and regeneration. The Turbo model, to withstand that power, has a direct oil cooling system for the rear axle motor. The goal is to ensure continuous high power. The ‘normal’ Electric model wants to be more efficient, and for that it has an energy regeneration system that returns charge to the battery with a power of up to 600 MW during braking. They claim that, in daily driving, around 97% of braking operations can be managed solely by electric motors. To get that one-pedal drive, wow. Both have adaptive air suspension as standard, but then there is the universe of extras. Both can be equipped with rear axle steering, something that turns the rear wheels 5º. Screens to power Inside, as it could not be otherwise, LEDs and screens reign. Even Mazda has given up on this and Porsche has ambient LEDs, a panoramic roof with variable light control and the aforementioned screens. On the front we have what they called Flow Display: a curved OLED panel integrated into the center console. It is complemented by a 14.25-inch fully digital instrument panel and a larger 14.9-inch instrument panel for the passenger. On the moon we have a head-up display that projects an effective 87-inch screen, showing information about what we have up to ten meters in front of the vehicle. Now, they have made an effort to comment that the most used controls, such as the climate control and the sound system volume controls, are physical. These screens are customizable using widgets, and we can also control some options using voice commands. They ensure that the software has a system of AI that “understands complex and interrelated queries, recognizes context and responds like a real interlocutor.” Arrives with ‘MagSafe’ Let’s go with the battery. This is a newly developed 113 kWh battery that allows a combined WLTP range of up to 642 km for the Cayenne Electric and up to 623 km for the Turbo model. For charging, it incorporates 800 volt technology with direct current charging capacity of up to 400 kW. According to the company, in these ideal conditions, it allows you to go from 10% to 80% in 16 minutes. In 10 minutes, you should have a range of 325 kilometers in the Cayenne and 315 km in the Cayenne Turbo. Now, the most peculiar thing is its inductive charge. It’s another extra, and one they focused on during the presentation at the IAA in Munich in early September. It is a platform on which we align the car so that it begins to charge with a power of up to 11 kW. You simply have to attach the plate to the ground and, when we park on it, the process begins. Price and launch of the Porsche Cayenne Electric Once the presentations are made, it’s time to look at the portfolio. The company has commented that orders are now accepted for the new model, which will arrive in the two aforementioned versions at the following price: Cayenne Electric: 108,296 euros. Cayenne Turbo Electric: 169,124 euros. And if you don’t want an electric one, Pôrsche assures that they will continue developing the Cayenne with hybrid and combustion propulsion systems “well into the next decade.” Of course, without additional details. … Read more

Polestar has broken a record of autonomy in electric cars circulating more than 900 kilometers. Obviously there is a trick

by

935.4 kilometers without recharging the battery. That is the record that has achieved a Polestar 3 conventional – in its version of a single engine – thus demonstrating that it is possible to make very long trips without going through a recharge point. The secret is from the record is obvious, yes. Superdespace. For achieve all those kilometers The technique was simple: go very slowly. In fact, the average speed was less than 40 km/h, and took no less than 22 hours and 57 minutes to complete the task. The publicized autonomy by Polestar for this model in its unique motor version is 706 km, so here they managed to lengthen it 32.5%. Three professional drivers. The tests were performed in the United Kingdom, where three drivers specialized in efficient driving were turned to achieve that milestone. The final consumption reached was 12.1 kWh per 100 km, which represents a saving of about 40% compared to conventional driving. Without tricks. This Polestar 3 achieved that autonomy without using special equipment: both the car and the wheels were the same as one obtains When you get the concessionaire car. However, it is possible to go further if some modifications are made. If you also have the car, you can go even further. A few days ago Chevrolet modified A WT Silverado truck and put a huge 205 kWh battery (the Polastar 3 is 111 kWh). They also placed old wheels with overpressure and 40 drivers turned to drive it around Detroit. They managed to travel 1,704 km with a single load, and as in the case of Polestar 3 the average speed did not exceed 40 km/h. The consumption on that journey was 12.7 kWh at 100 km, an equally remarkable figure in which yes, influenced that they had the air conditioning without working for almost the entire route. Baja is also worth it. In July a Lucid Air Grand Touring He got his particular Guinnes record When traveling 1,205 kilometers with a unique load. The car has a battery with the same capacity as that of the Polestar 3 (111 kWh), and toured the distance between St. Moritz and Munich. Although the car was a conventional model, the lucid benefited from both efficient driving and the energy regeneration system in braking and slopes: that route was full of them, but it was also descending mostly. The key is not the battery, they are the consumption. Although obviously the battery capacity influences the autonomy of electric cars, further influences the consumption of each model. The Mercedes Vision EQXX for example achieved a record prior to the Tour 1,010 km without recharging at 79.4 km/h on average… and another 392 kilometers had left in those conditions. The secret is that this approval model 7.4 kWh consumption at 100 km, while for example a tesla 3 rear -wheel drive homologous 13.2 kWh at 100 km. Aerodynamics helps, but if things are added to consumption as an efficient driving and low speed, those figures rise significantly. Absurd records. Although all these records are striking, they are also a marketing exercise for companies that logically try the same thing: that they talk (well) of them. Here we have messages that are also even absurd: going at 40 km/h for 23 hours has its reward in this case, but in real life it would be absolute torture. The practical uselessness of these records – not only that of Polestar – is the same as the one who tells us about how The Xiaomi Su7 beat all its competitors In Nürburgring last year: none of us are going to those speeds or drive in those circuits, but speed records are always striking. Putting these vehicles to the limit is fine, but it is important to contemplate these records with perspective.

China has broken the electric car deck with brutally fast recharges. So much that autonomy is already the least

by

When Jim Farley returned from China, several lessons were brought under his arm. Almost that it doesn’t matter when you read this because, with each visit to China of the Ford CEO, Farley always takes care of airing everything he has learned there. Among what has been learned, one day he questioned the real importance of the unacabable autonomies for an electric car. Taking into account that the battery size of an electric car remains a Too much spiny matter When lowering cars, Farley pointed out that his strategy for the future went through Manufacture small electric electric Because as soon as the price was put more battery. “If you have batteries like that, you can’t make money,” argued In reference to gigantic battery cars, the same ones that promise autonomies of many hundreds of kilometers and that, in the face of the future, promise to reach 1,000 kilometers between recharges. Farley has been a critical voice with those gigantic electric cars but is not the only one that has been expressed in those terms. Mazda, for example, made the same reflection Some time ago, focusing that large batteries raised the costs of the car … and its weight, a red line that the Japanese company has always tried to dodge. Although the approach was not exactly the same in the form (the Japanese study incorporating extended range versions With engines Combustion rotatingas they have done with the MX-30), in the background they did show that the bet should be another: contained autonomies but with systems that will stretch them in a simple way. Either with very fast recharges or, in the case of Mazda, with a small combustion engine that can save you at any time. In China they think something similar. While there are two clearly defined paths and one of them is committed to huge batteries, others are clear that they must get the fastest possible charges to offer an attractive electric car to the general public. Byd is one of them. But it is not the only one. More kilometers or faster When last week we attended the presentation of the Mazda 6eI felt that the press conference we attend with a bittersweet aftertaste and a more or less clear idea with everyone with whom I spoke. The completely electric Berlina, which Mazda has created with Changan, is sold with a 68.8 kWh battery or a second of 80 kWh. This last option seemed ideal for those who wanted Use your car to travel comfortably. If we suppose a consumption of 20 kWh/100 km, the first will not reach 350 kilometers between recharges and the second one would touch the 400 kilometers of a single sitting. However, the first battery can be loaded at a maximum of 165 kW of power, going from 10 to 80% in 24 minutes. The second, on the other hand, cannot do it at more than 90 kW, limiting that rapid recharge from 10 to 80% to 47 minutes. The general impression, so I talked to the fellow journalists, is that we would all sacrifice those 50 kilometers of autonomy if that would allow us to stop almost 25 minutes less when plugging the hose. Everyone seemed to us that a 90 kW recharge is not up to a car with aspirations to be an electric supervent. In ByD they have a similar impression and their bet is determined: Ultra -grape rechargesat the pace of filling a gas tank even if you have to stop once more. Although for now, They assured usits 1 MW recharge was mainly intended for heavy transport, they aspire to be an attractive solution for their own customers, with launches of more cars (right now they have two that admit this power) that can make use of these loaders. His approach is that the by and tang l can recover 400 kilometers of autonomy in five minutes. I would dare to say that the vast majority of drivers need or prefer to make a small stop before covering that distance. Huawei is one of them. The technological presented a few months ago A 1.5 MW recharge. Again, it is a very interesting formula for heavy transport but, to put it in perspective, a car with a large 100 kWh battery could be completely filled in five minutes if it did not have the obvious power restrictions so as not to be completely damaged. In spite of everything, if a manufacturer offers energy accumulators as resistant as those of Byd, filling a battery of this size should not take more than 10-15 minutes. Although Byd has filled headlines since he presented this load system, they are not the only ones. In April, Catl also presented a recharge system capable of overcoming that of the company of Stella Li, vice president of Byd than in Coach has defended these recharge systems against Autonomies of a thousand kilometers and said they aspire to bring them to Europe. In the interview he said that “they don’t give me more than 300 kilometers because I don’t want to pay the cost (of a greater battery).” Although I understand why Stella Li defends this approach, I also understand that Western manufacturers continue to prefer to offer much higher autonomies in order to sell as a purchase value. Perhaps 300 kilometers are fair but firmly believe that more than 350-400 kilometers of autonomy are needed in an electric car if the recharge network is powerful enough. I believe it with loaders of more than 150 kW, let’s not say with those plugs (and cars) that allow recharges at 1,000 kW. Despite this, There is something cultural In Stella Li’s words. You have to understand that China is a country so big that long trips They are usually done by plane or bullet train. The cities are so large that they favor adoption to the electric car because it is the environment where its virtues are more valued: without noise, without vibrations and … Read more

Pebble creator resurrects his legacy with 30 days of autonomy and electronic ink screens

by

Years after the disappearance of Pebble, the smart watch that inaugurated a category through Kickstarter in 2012, Its creator returns to load. Core Devices, the new company founded by Eric Migicovsky, has just presented two models that recover the essence of the original Pebble: Core 2 Duo and Core Time 2. This time, the bet is to recover the original philosophy of the product, thanks to that Google released Pebbleos as an open source in January. Core 2 duo and core time 2 technical sheet Core 2 duo Core Time 2 SCREEN 1.26 inches E-paper monochromatic 144 x 168 pixels, 176 dpi With backhoper 1.5 inches e-paper color (64 colors) 200 x 228 pixels, 202 dpi With backhoper INTERACTION 4 physical buttons 4 physical buttons + touch screen MATERIALS Polycarbonate frame (black or white) Metal frame (several color options) Sensors 6 -axis Imu Compass Barometer 6 -axis Imu Heart rhythm monitor Connectivity Not specified Compatible with iOS and Android Not specified Compatible with iOS and Android CHARACTERISTICS Microphone and speaker Vibration motor (linear resonance actuator) IPX8 water resistance Step and sleep monitoring Microphone and speaker Vibration motor (linear resonance actuator) IPX8 water resistance Step and sleep monitoring BATTERY 30 days of autonomy 30 days of autonomy Load connector Standard pebble charger Standard pebble charger BELT 22 mm 22 mm Operating system Pebbleos (open source) +10,000 WatchFaces and Applications Pebbleos (open source) +10,000 WatchFaces and Applications PRICE $ 149 225 dollars AVAILABILITY Shipping from July 2025 Shipping from July 2025 Unlike the current trend in smart watches, which usually bet on high resolution AMOLED screens in exchange for more limited autonomies, Core Devices Recover the philosophy that made Pebble popular: screens e-paper Always active with an outstanding autonomy of 30 days. Core 2 duo is an evolution of Pebble 2with monochromatic screen and a simplified design with polycarbonate body. Meanwhile, the Core Time 2 represents the high range with a screen e-paper a Color of 64 tones, metallic frame and additional functions such as heart rate monitoring and touch screen. The return of a different philosophy The new Core Devices watches keep Pebble DNA intact, but with notable improvements. The main advance is autonomywhich passes from the 7 days of the original 30 -day models on the new devices. Both models incorporate microphone and speaker, elements that were not present in all the original Pebbles. Pebbleos, now open source after Google’s decision (owner of Fitbit, which in turn acquired the intellectual property of Pebble in 2016), remains the heart of these watches. This guarantees the compatibility with more than 10,000 watchfaces and existing applications. Image: Core Devices. Eric Migicovsky, original founder of Pebble and now in front of Core Devices, explained in his blog A couple of months ago he decided to resume the project because “nobody makes a smartwatch with the basic set of features I want.” Among these essential characteristics, it stands out: E-paper screen always active (visible under sunlight, discreet). Long battery life (to avoid frequent loads). Simple and well -designed user experience focused on basic functions (time, notifications, music control, alarms, weather, calendar, sleeping/steps monitoring). Physical buttons (to control music without looking at the screen). Possibility of customization (creation of Watchfaces own). Sustainability above all Image: Core Devices. Image: Core Devices. Image: Core Devices. Unlike the aggressive growth approach that characterized Pebble in its beginnings, Migicovsky has opted this time for a more sustainable model. “I am building a small and centered company to manufacture these watches. I have not planned to raise money from investors or hire a great team. The emphasis is on sustainability, “he said in his blog. Core Devices has not launched a Kickstarter campaign, but offers direct reserves through its website, with the possibility of complete cancellation and reimbursement until the shipment, estimated for July of this year. Google’s decision of convert pebbleos into open source software It has been fundamental for this rebirth. According to Migicovsky, “Pebbleos took dozens of engineers working for four years to build, along with our fantastic product equipment and quality control. Reproducing that for new hardware would take a long time.” The Pebbleos Source Code It is now available in Githuballowing any developer to use, bifurcar and improve the operating system. This opens the door not only to official Core Devices watches, but potentially to other manufacturers interested in creating devices compatible with the Pebble ecosystem. Price and availability of the core 2 duo and core time 2 The new Core Devices watches They are already available to book. The Core 2 Duo is priced at $ 149 with shipments planned for July 2025, while the Core Time 2 will cost $ 225 and will begin to be distributed in December 2025. International orders will be sent through messaging with follow -up (DHL, Fedex, UPS), although the company warns that buyers outside the United States must be prepared for possible taxes and customs.

Filling a Tesla Cybertruck with solar panels only costs $ 10,000. Its owners now have 7.5 kilometers extra of autonomy

by

We said when the Cybertruck tesla was presented than the larger and more disruptive electric car of Elon Musk’s company arrived with a Important overpricing and with less autonomy of the fiancee. Since then, sales have grown at an irregular pace. For a time it earned him to become The best -selling luxury vehicle In the United States but a few months later he found that they were not going to be able to continue selling the electric pick-up above $ 100,000 for an indefinite time. What is clear is that Tesla Cybertruck has become something like an “image vehicle.” It is not a purchase based on rationality Well, it is not the most comfortable car and, Not much less, the most capable outside the asphalt. It is a purchase that aligns the driver with the most outgoing facet of Elon Musk’s products. Part of the interest raised by Tesla Cybertruck is in its ability to adapt, supposedly, to any circumstance. His facet has been highlighted to spend a few days in the field (although his finishes to camperize the model Leave much to be desired) and has unleashed the imagination of the owners to the point of transforming it into A tower with wheels and metrallet. And with that last purpose, that of carrying out something unexpected, a company has proposed to increase the autonomy of electric car based on putting solar panels distributed throughout the body. It doesn’t seem the best idea. An extra ridiculous at a very high price The transformation of this tesla cybertruck It could be seen live During the past Ces of Las Vegas. There, the company Sunflare Solar presented the electric pick-up wrapped in flexible solar panels that aim to expand the completely electric autonomy of this electric car. Or, rather, we should say that the case may be free of charge for a few kilometers. Few, if we take into account the price of the transformation and the results that are presented in the best conditions. According to the company’s accounts, collected by Electreck, Sunflare aloner promises to be able to travel a few extra kilometers daily for the modest price of $ 10,000. They believe that with their flexible panels distributed throughout the body can be obtained up to 1.5 kW extra daily. Assuming a consumption of 20 kWh/100 km, we would be talking about just 7.5 kilometers. The figure is far from what Elon Musk who before launching his Tesla Cybertruck mentioned that it would be offered with the option of adding solar panels on the roof that would deliver up to 25 kilometers of extra autonomy. Something that, obviously, has not occurred. Who could make sense for? Well, we could imagine that if we want to camp using the Tesla Cybertruck for our trip we can always use the vehicle to feed different devices. In that case, 1.5 kWh of extra power will always be of great help since we will not be draining the battery at all. In fact, to the company that has presented this option specialized in the use of solar panels in the roofs of the homes but, also, On the ceiling of camperized vehiclesFor example. Of course, we must bear in mind that we are talking about an “improvement” that costs $ 10,000. And, to this we must add that the electric car was sold as a kind of vehicle to the proof of any damage. Its body, of steel, is designed to not suffer with the blows and cover the entire body of solar panels is to buy all the ballots to leave us good money if someone brushes our vehicle. The effectiveness of solar panels in vehicles is a pending task. At the moment, no one has managed to get a good enough performance for it to deserve to invest in technology. Manufacturers like Mercedes continues to study their possibilities But, until now, everything has remained in an auxiliary element for feed electrical devices of the vehicle without increasing consumption so the profit is minimal.

There is a mobile with six months of autonomy and incorporated projector. Indeed, it is a mamotreto of almost a kilo

by

There is something beautiful, in its own way, in the most beast phones. The sector is accustomed to the mobiles being more and more thin, beautiful, elegant, Premium and lightbut where are those brown beasts with projector, flashlights, with battery to endure several days? Because yes, these mobiles have their audience and see them in action, but above all, have them in hand, it is always spectacular. That is what happens with the Oukitel WP100 Titana mobile that to the question of how much weighs can only be answered with: yes. Oukitel WP100 Titan Technical Card Oukitel WP100 Titan dimensions and weight 178.3 x 84.3 x 35.6 mm 876.6 grams screen 6.8 inches FullHD+ resolution (2,460 x 1,080 pixels) Refresco rate: 120 Hz processor MEDATEK DIMENSITY 7300 RAM 16 GB Internal storage 512 GB rear camera Angular: 200 MP Macro Chamber: 2 MP Night vision: 20 MP Front camera 32 MP battery 33,000 mAh 66W fast charge Inverse loading of 18W Operating system Android 14 connectivity 5g NFC Bluetooth GPS others Lateral footprint reader Camping lamp Project SOS button PTT button Water resistance Resistance to extreme temperatures price $ 899 So heavy that has a handle Oukitel WP100 Titan | Image: Xataka Yes, it’s a mobile. The Oukitel WP100 Titan is a terminal financed in Kickstarter and developed by Oukitel, an old man known in this rugerized mobiles and out of the ordinary. The format must have convinced, because the company has managed to raise about 450,000 euros by users. Apart money, the striking thing about this device is that it is the first mobile in history to incorporate a 33,000 mAh battery. It is said soon. The size matters. Obviously, that has not been achieved to maximize thickness and weight, but rather the opposite. If we see it in front it seems nothing out of the ordinary. It is a mobile of 178 per 84 millimeters with a 6.8 -inch screen, quite standard. The thing is that if we put it as a song we will see that its thickness is 35.6 millimeters. And how much is that? The equivalent of 17 cords of one stacked euro. Oukitel WP100 Titan | Image: Xataka Another thing we will notice when holding it is your weight. Because in a world where more 200 grams are already noticed in hand, this terminal weighs the whopping of 876.6 grams. It is the same as holding five iPhone 16. This is a practically literal statement, millimeter and gram above, millimeter and gram below. That is why it has all the meaning of the world that the terminal has an handle in the left song. And what do you have? On the one hand, the battery. 33,000 mAh Dan for, according to Oukitel, 4,459 hours of autonomy in Standby. That is, the equivalent of (the throat is clarified) six months of autonomy. If that is not enough to justify its thickness, perhaps the fact that you have an camping light with 1,500 LEDs and 1,200 bright lumens. Or maybe the projector. Oukitel WP100 Titan | Image: Xataka Projector? Yes, at the top this device has a 100 lumens projector. It is not a high -end projector, much less. It has a resolution of 854 x 480 pixels, so it can use us to see a movie in certain contexts, such as when we go from camping, but little else. Well, a movie is not. According to Oukitel, up to six films with a single load. And if having a mobile with battery for six months and with a campsite light that in the promotional video they use to nail a tent on the floor, open a beer bottle (it seems to have a built -in opener), explore a cave and see a movie in the middle of the desert was not enough, we can always use it as an external battery. One with 18W of power, to be exact. It also seems valid as a throwing weapon. Oukitel WP100 Titan | Image: Xataka The rest of the components. The truth is that, on paper, the device does not look bad. Mounted a mediaTak Dimensity 7300 processor, 16 Gigas RAM, 512 GB of internal storage and a main camera of 200 megapixels. The operating system is Android 14 update a Android 15 And it has, of course, GPS, water resistance and extreme temperatures, night vision chamber and NFC. Taking out this mobile to pay for the purchase in the Super must be an experience. Versions and price of Oukitel WP100 Titan This device can be bought, for now, in Kickstarter in its Early Bird version for $ 599. The final price will be $ 899. The first units will begin to be sent in April 2025. Images | Xataka In Xataka | Ultra -resistant mobile purchase guide: certifications and standards, special functions and 11 roaring phones

break with Castilla and become autonomy

by

Thousands of people, 13,000, according to Police calculationsthey left yesterday to the streets of León to demand a better future for their province. So far not surprising. The funny thing is that at least a significant part of the attendees imagines that future in a different administrative scenario: in a lion separated from Castilla, which has ceased to be province to become the 18th autonomy of Spain and no longer looks at Valladolid as its de facto regional capital. That there is one Autonomist drive In the province it is not a novelty. Years ago that their defenders cry because the region courts its administrative ties with Castilla. Yesterday’s march served however for something else: show to what extent that feeling has become strong and lets hear in the province. It was about showing muscle. And he did. A figure: 13,000. That is the number of people who mobilized yesterday in León to demand a better future for the province: 13,000. At least According to the accounts Police officers, because there are those who speak of several tens of thousands And the organizers of the march point to many more, around 50,000. It is good for one or another figure, the undeniable thing is that thousands of lions took the streets of their capital between flags, banners and songs to wrap a march called by The main unions and backed by 60 groups to defend the future of the region. Your motto: “More solutions and less stories.” Click on the image to go to Tweet. What did they claim? “Definitive Solutions” For León at the economic and sociodemographic level. But not just that. Like the march held just a five years, The 16-F of 2020yesterday’s demonstration served to show the discontent of the Leon with the situation in their province; But also for something else: to make clear to what extent the idea has gained strength that the future of León must go through conquering greater administrative autonomy against Castile. León News covered the act and He recounts that during the manifestation, shouts of “Autonomy of the country” were heard and banners were shown in favor of autonomy. Also flags that cried out for “autonomy 18” or “Lexit”label that (in a wink to Brexit) has made fortune thanks to the combination of “León” and “Exit”. The idea of ​​autonomy was so present during the march that today They are not few The media regional ones that dedicate its headlines. Why is it important? Because yesterday’s march acts in a certain way of thermometer, one that helps to understand the discomfort in the province with its current situation and the interest raised by the lexit as an exit. Both when it comes to figures (between 13,000 and 50,000 attendees in a city of 122,200 neighbors) as social support. Although over the last months it has been clear that Not all Come with good eyes with Castilla, yesterday’s day shows, at least, that León believes that he must fight for “The future that deserves”. “More solutions, less stories”. In the head From the demonstration at his exit from San Marcos lucia a banner that prayed “León + Solutions – Tales”, a message focused on the struggle for better infrastructure, reindustrialization, employment and public services. And it is undeniable that the message fell. The appointment attended representatives of most parties with weight in the province, The mayor of Leónthe president of the Diputación and members of social groups. Click on the image to go to Tweet. Beyond the streets. Yesterday was not the first sample to what extent the Lexit has penetrated in the region. TO late 2019 Several parties joined their votes to claim the autonomy of the Leonese region and become the 18 Spanish community. The idea: separate from Castilla with Salamanca and Zamora. After the pandemic the drivers of that measure organized An act To remember that they did not give up and last year, in a new step in that same direction, PSOE and UPL added their votes to claim autonomy in the Diputación de León. Not everyone thinks the same, of course. In 2024 the PP already marked distances with the autonomist motion and advocated looking for a “Useful Leonism”. “The community has been failed”.
