He takes so much speaking that ‘GTA VI‘It will cost $ 100 that almost nobody is surprised by the figure. It is normal: the launches of the large titles of the sector often are around 70 or 80 euros, and although the debate on that price increase without brake continues, there is something that we did not see coming: a Mario Kart at 90 euros. ‘Mario Kart World’ for Ricos. The presentation of the new Nintendo Switch 2 He has left a lot of open debates, but one of them revolves around the price of his video games. The first of its exclusive titles is a promising ‘Mario Kart World’ in which the graphics and options are more striking than ever, but there is a problem: the physical edition will cost 90 euros. A new ribbon. Nintendo responsible have clearly indicated in the official store of the company, which distinguishes between the digital edition (79.99 euros) and physics (89.99 euros). The other great Nintendo game for this launch, ‘Donkey Kong Baniza’, will cost 10 euros less in both formats, and the message is clear and crystalline: Nintendo’s exclusive will not come out cheap. If you want better graphics, it’s time to pay. The same will happen with the Remasterizations of ‘The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’ and ‘Tears of Kingdom’, which return with improved versions that take advantage of the new and promising hardware of the Nintendo Switch 2. If however to enjoy them they will not serve the games we already had: We will have to buy them again. A hook to buy the switch 2 in ‘pack’ format. You also have to keep in mind that there will be two versions of the Nintendo Switch 2. The first, without the ‘Mario Kart World’, will cost 469.99 euros. The second, which includes that game, will cost 509.99 euros. That is a difference of 40 euros, although it is not clear if the version included is digital or physical. Be that as it may, savings in the price of the game is at least 50%, a very succulent offer that can shoot the sales of that first exclusive title. They are lentils. Little can players do in this case, and here Nintendo acts as a de facto monopoly because their games are absolutely exclusive and enclose you in the firm’s ecosystem. In other video games there is the possibility of opting for versions of other platforms (PC, Xbox, PS5), but with exclusive ones such as ‘Mario Kart World’ there is only one option. Something like this happened with the Price climb of game pass, very criticized by the FCC but that has been implemented anyway. Sony already did the same with the PS5. The arrival of the PS5 also marked a before and after in the price of video games. On that occasion the firm made it clear that the price of AAA games It would become $ 80 in its standard versions. But friends, inflation must be taken into account. However, price increases are reasonable when we adjust them to these times. As can be seen in the image, the average price adjusted to inflation at that time makes it clear that those of the PlayStation 5 were among the most expensive of the last 20 years, but there were still worse times. And above, tariffs. The tariff war initiated by the Trump administration probably aggravates the problem. China and Mexico have an important weight in the manufacture of games in physical format, and the measures imposed by the US probably cause physical games more expensive than ever. Nintendo may simply adapted to this new and reality. In Xataka | Nintendo Switch 2 had one of its battle horses in retrocompatibility.

400 million euros for the electric car and the same as always

by

The Government has confirmed the renewal of the MOVES III PLAN. More than two months after Congress knocked down the decree boum in which Aids for the purchase of electric cars were collectedthe Executive has managed to extend the plan that already existed and make it retroactive. It will be available until the funds are exhausted on December 31, 2025 The latter is important because it does not leave any buyer that he has acquired his electric car in 2025 behind. Remember that the approval of a new Moves Aids continued to be approved. From here, uncertainty. To start because, adding those days of 2025, The approved aids exceeded the budgeted amount. With the successive extensions, 1,550 million euros were available but the requests added 1,579 million euros. And, secondly, because from the beginning it has been ensured that all purchases made in January, February and March of an electric car that will enter the Moves Plan (less than 45,000 euros before the application of VAT) were going to be delivered to buyers. In spite Xataka different companies. Now we know that the program continues in the same terms we had with a Temporary extension of 400 million of euros. A program that can support at a time when the registrations of this type of technology have triggered. Aids that have the challenge of being more agile The aid of the Moves III Plan, which now recover, have the following format for the purchase of a tourism: Electric and electrical car of extended autonomy (more than 90 kilometers of electric autonomy): 4,500 euros of minimum aid and 7,000 euros of help if a vehicle with more than seven years of seniority is accused. Plug -in hybrid (between 30 and 90 kilometers of electrical autonomy: 2,500 euros of minimal aid and 5,000 euros if a vehicle with more than seven years old is accused. Fuel battery (without minimal autonomy): 4,500 euros of minimum aid and 7,000 euros of help if a vehicle is accused more than seven years old. These amounts They increase by 10% When the task of the vehicle is taxi, it is purchased by a person with reduced mobility or in a municipality with less than 5,000 inhabitants. In addition, with the extension of the Moves III Plan, the 15% dismissal in the income statement for the purchase of an electric car (with a maximum of 3,000 euros. The fall in aid had arrived at the worst time because the market gave symptoms that this technology was taken off. In fact, with figures from the first quarter of the yearWe know that the electric car has grown by 64.22%, until reaching 22,028 registrations. But, above all, it has been 6.66% market share, which is a great advance for previous years where it did not pass or cost to reach 5%. It remains to know how many of these registrations were already closed before the fall in January of the Moves III Plan and are being registered now. With the registrations of the month of April we should verify If the fall of the Moves III Plan was leaving a lot of hangover in the market or purchases have continued. What we will not have is a change in the bureaucracy of aid. Asked for this, Sara Aagesen, Minister for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge, has assured that He has worked to expedite processes But aid will continue to be processed by the Autonomous Communities. The current process has been repeatedly criticized by manufacturers and buyers since the delivery of aid was delayed to the point that some clients did not see the entry of them Until more than three years old. More than a year ago than The Government promised To change this and deliver the aid as a discount that we would find when buying the car. At the moment, it has not happened.

In South Korea offered 14,000 euros to young people in exchange for them to get married. Young people did the same

by

With $ 14,000 you can cover holes, take a few sabbatical months to travel around the world or invest in that business that has been around your head for years. What you will not get is to match two South Koreans to marry, form a home and have children to help the country out of the deep crisis of birth in which it has been mired for years. We know it because in Korea there are administrations that already They have thrown out of a checkbook and reached those figures (more than 10,000 dollars) in their efforts to act as a casameros. All without success. Moreover, that commitment to administrations to encourage matches is having a peculiar effect: it has made singleness A true business. Question of love … and money. In his efforts to leave the demographic pothole in which he has been plunged for a long time, he has not hesitated to pull a check -up. Its reasoning is simple: if birth can be encouraged with money, the government is willing to put it on the table. In recent months the authorities of the country have proposed to deliver large ‘baby checks’ to its citizens, offer Fiscal incentives To families with children, expand parental permits or even guarantee that the new moms have access to select food. Another of the country’s great bets has been to match its young people. And that has gone so much to create appointment programs Designed specifically for single to find love how to make it easy at the economic level, offering money so that the cost of a romantic dinner is not an obstacle. Perhaps it sounds exaggerated, but there is a fact that explains it: in South Pareja and Bulality they go hand in hand. So much, that less than 5% From babies they are born out of marriage. How much money do we talk about? A lot A good part of the southern Korean pairing programs start from regional organizations, so that photography can vary from one area to another of the country; But it arrives with a quick turn by Google to see news from cities or districts that try to raise their birth rate with expensive pairing programs. Recently We talked to you of the Seoul case, where the Metropolitan Government studied to deliver 700 euros to the couples who marry there. It is a lot. Although not as much as in other cities. In Busan, one from the main ones Metropolitan Areas of South Korea and that is suffering the effects of the demographic crisis in a form particularly hardthey have gone a step further blessing the new couples with hundreds of dollars. What does that translate? In which money ceases to be an obstacle to throwing girlfriend (or boyfriend). In June The Korea Herald He informed That one of the districts of Busan, Saha-Gu, planned a pilot project with local singles born between 1981 and 2001 to which it offered 360 dollars (to spend on appointments) only for ‘doing Match ‘ With someone. That is, each couple who left the event grabbed by the hand and with plans to be added 700 dollars for their romance. A figure: $ 14,000. Those 360 ​​dollars per person to enjoy as a couple were only the first part of the SAHA-gu program. The idea was to increase support as the relationship progressed until you reach the great wedding gift: 20 million wones In advance for couples who give themselves the ‘yes I want’, about $ 13,600. The district was even willing to offer newly married a larger deposit if they decided to buy a house or help them with rent. Such a bet is better understood in the light of the demographic tables of the Metropolitan City of Busan: if at the beginning of the 90s it passed from the 3.8 million inhabitantsin 2010 it was at 3.4 million. The trend does not clash with that of the country as a whole, which At the end of 2024 It became a “aging super society”, with 20% of its population above 65 years. Do these aid work? That was the big question that was driving … and just answered The Wall Street Journal (TWSJ) with A report in which the title is almost a sentence: “Not even a governmental aid of $ 14,000 can make the single South Korea marry.” Despite the promise of receiving a wedding gift of $ 14,000, the Saha-Gu program was not very successful. TWSJ assures that no participant demanded that reward. And that Saha-Gu is just one of the aid to which couples can opt. TWSJ remembers that not all support leaves administrations and that there are also religious companies or organizations that try to reverse the country’s demographic crisis. Two examples are the construction company Booyoung Group, which offered $ 75,000 to employees who have a child; and the Yoido full gospel churchwhich gives its members almost $ 1,400. The big question. With such incentives the question is evident. Why don’t South Koreans marry? Why do your birth continue well below of that of years ago? Part of the answer are social and cultural changes. TWSJ He quotes a survey recent that shows that three fifths of the South Koreans with employment do not see the slightest problem in not going through the altar, a factor to which others of an economic nature are added, such as the long working daysincreased cost of living or how will be The parenting of children in a society characterized by their demand level and competitiveness. Another key are The difficulties with which women are to rejoin to the labor market after being mothers. In fact there are courtship programs that have ended up suspending precisely because they could not gather a sufficient number of interested women. Other young people rule out simply registering for the heavy bureaucracy that accompanies this kind of initiatives. “It’s more problematic than you imagine,” Recognize one to TWSJ.

The government wanted to promote the electric car after the Dana with 10,000 euros of help. Everything indicates that he has not delivered any

by

On October 29, 2024, tragedy began. Various autonomous communities of eastern Spain but, above all, the Valencian Community saw how strong rains and the posterior floods left 225 dead in their path and three missing people that have not yet been found. Although the Term Dana refers to an “isolated depression in high levels” (the famous cold drop), in memory it has remained as Dana de Valencia What lived on the border between October and November 2024. Some floods that also left the material damage that affected 360,000 people. Months later we have known that he points to 141,000 cars affected by the floods. Most of them insurmountable although we have had images that leave us some optimism, saving vehicles with half a century behind them. Trying to recover normality, populations faced the challenge of What to do with the greatest scratch in history of Spain and how to recover from the consequences. Among those measures to replenish all those vehicles, At the end of November 2024 the government announced that launched the Plan Reinicia Auto+. With him he wanted to give financial aid to those who had lost his car with the floods, delivering an economic amount for the purchase of a new vehicle. The program contemplated the delivery of aid both for the purchase of new and second -hand vehicles but rewarded those who jump to zero emissions. Specifically, the Aid They are distributed as follows: New vehicles with zero label: 10,000 euros. New vehicles with ECO label or C: 5,000 euros. Second -hand vehicles with zero label: 4,000 euros. Second -hand vehicles with ECO label or C: 2,000 euros. Vehicles for people with reduced mobility will have extra help of 1,000 euros more and 500 euros on three -wheeled motorcycles. Motorcycle aid vary between 2,000 euros and 500 euros depending on whether they are new or second -hand and its ecological rating. The problem is that the Ministry of Industry and Tourism has already submitted the accrediting document with the relationship of the beneficiaries of these aid. But, there is no help to a car of zero emissions. What happens? Aid that seem frozen First of all, the first thing to be clear about is how the aids of the Reinicia Auto+Plan are delivered. As explained in the Article 9 of Royal Decree-Law 8/2024 in which urgent measures are collected to help those affected by the DANA, the procedure is the following: If the client had already bought the car before the aid was opened (they did it on December 18), the dealers had to make an entry to the beneficiaries once the aid was approved with the corresponding file. If the client had not yet bought the car, the concessionaire processed the aid and it was discounted from the final price of the car once all taxes were applied. In The automotive tribune They explain that the first aid began to surrender last February. By then, more than 10,000 subsidies to purchase had been requested and as the delay in the deliveries of the aid was affecting customers, in some cases the vehicles began to be delivered before receiving the money with the concessionaire’s commitment to return that money afterwards. But these grants have only been arriving in vehicles with a C and echo label of the DGT, according to Digital economythat raise the number of aid to More than 25,000 files For this type of vehicles. These aid are reflected in the accrediting document of the beneficiaries of the same. Indeed, as can be seen in this document, there is no approved help to cars with zero DGT emissions label. That is, no plug or electric hybrid (both new and second -hand) has received confirmation of such aid for purchase. In the middle they ensure that sources from the Ministry of Industry confirm that “the aid of 10,000 euros are on zero label. Electric cars are paid with European funds, and its processing is being carried out.” From Xataka We have put ourselves in contact With the Ministry of Industry to confirm if this situation is true and where the funds of these aid come from, as well as the procedure that is carried out to deliver them, trying to understand why any car with zero emissions stickers of the DGT has received the approval still for the delivery of said aid. Similarly, we have contacted Faconauto, the largest representative of the Spanish dealers to know if it is true that the aids related to electric cars are frozen or have not received any approval.

Blackstone wants to buy it for 5.5 billion euros

by

The greatest business operation of what we have been in Spain is going unnoticed between more striking headlines and more names Sexiesbut its magnitude is extraordinary: two giants of risk capital want to buy the company that manages your waste for a sidereal price. The latest. Blackstone and EQT have signed an exclusivity agreement to negotiate Urbaser for approximately 5.5 billion euros, debt included, as progressing The economist. The consortium will now make a Due Diligence Four -week confirmatory to close the final fringes. Why is it important. This assessment makes Urbaser, a waste management company that was born as an ACS subsidiary, a more valuable asset than airlines such as China Airlines or Easyjet, and even that Indra, the Spanish Technological Giant of Defense. Incidentally, demonstrates the growing interest of global funds in the Spanish environmental sector. Between the lines. The Platinum Equity Fund, current owner –Urser is of Spanish origin but of US capital – will triple its investment in just three years. Urbaser bought the Chinese Chinese group Tianying (Cnty) in 2021 for 3,500 million, which in turn I had acquired it from ACS for only 1,114 million in 2016. The money trail. Platinum already has extracted a considerable value of Urbaser: He charged a dividend of 300 million euros in previous exercises. I had prepared another extraordinary dividend of 1,000 million if the sale failed. He sold four subsidiaries for approximately 1,000 million (United Kingdom, Nordic countries, water and operations business in Portugal). In figures. Urbaser is a growing giant: Ebitda of 2024: 560 million euros (without Argentina) Ebitda forecast by 2025: 600 million (without Argentina) The Argentine subsidiary, excluded from the operation, provides additional 90 million. What is happening. Blackstone continues with its strategy to buy Spain for fascicles. The American giant already has a large number of strategic assets in our country, from homes and hotels to logistics centers. This operation fits its global commitment to critical infrastructures and essential public services. And now what? If the operation is completed, it will be the largest of the year in Spain and one of the largest in Europe. The Argentine subsidiary will be sold separately, according to Expansionwhile the new owners must manage an important debt after the acquisition.

The price of eggs has shot and having an own chicken coop seems attractive. But there are fines of up to 3,000 euros

by

2025 is the year of Trump’s return to the White House, that of the negotiations on Ukraine, the Rearm of Europe, The tariffs and the distancing from Brussels and Washington. And against all prognosis 2025 it is also being the year of the Egg crisis. Literally. Good The US knowsplunged into a deep “ovoflation”but also Spainwhere in a short time the eggs have increased more than 20%. Thus, many households, especially in the rural, can think of mount To self -abuse. It is not new or that has been done before in Spain. Of course, since 2024 more than chickens, grain and desire to have a domestic chicken coop is needed. If we want to save a fine, it is also necessary to fulfill certain procedures. Issue of laws (and fines). That we lead all our lives seeing homemade pens in the villages, mounted on farms or courtyards with a few laying chickens, it does not mean that there is no law that regulates them. In July 2021 it was approved A Royal Decree which establishes certain “basic standards” to “order” poultry farms. And although it does not focus exclusively on “self -consumption” farms, it includes certain guidelines that its owners must respect. If you have a chicken coop or even a small homemade corral you should know the decree. Especially because, although The text It is 2021, part of its rules on safety, hygiene and equipment did not begin to apply until relatively recently: on January 1, 2024, when the moratorium enjoyed by the farms that already existed. And what does the decree say? One of the most relevant points for domestic farms is the one collected in article 16.5, which Specifies: “The holders of self -consumption farms will be obliged to carry out prior communication so that they are included in the General Registry of Livestock Explodes.” The “self -consumption” nuance is important because The law also define clearly what requirements they must meet to be: not exceed a maximum number of birds or selling anything they produce. Neither young nor meat nor eggs. In case they would go to the category of “reduced exploitation”. The requirement for home pens is less strict than the one applied to the rest of the farms, which before registering is required an authorization that accredits that they meet all the norms; But that does not mean that chickens for self -supply can do whatever they want. They must register. And among other issues are obliged to identify a reference veterinarian. Question of eggs euros. Laws usually carry sanctions for those who break them. AND The 2021 decree About poultry farms is no exception. In the norm, no sanctions are specified in euros, but the corpus of laws to which the authorities will resort to an infraction does refer. In the case at hand, that of not registering a corral, the reference is the Animal Health Law of 2003in which it is identified as a mild infraction not to communicate to the authorities the births or entries of animals of an exploitation. And how much does that mean? A good pinch. The sanction can go from 600 to 3,000 euros, everything depends on the circumstances of each case and aggravating as recidivism. The law also allows infractions to settle with a simple “warning”, although exceptionally. “It will only be imposed if there was no intent and in the last two years the person in charge would not have been sanctioned (…) for the commission of any other violation of the planned,” Clarify. But … Is it a new standard? Not quite. In fact it has been feeling its effect in different regions of Spain for a few months. A year ago for example The voice of Galicia explained that the new requirement had left “an avalanche” of applications in the offices of the Department of Rural Environment, where they already accounted for 40,700 self -consumption chickens. The high ones do not respond only to the fear of fines. Without the process, Corrales owners were already They couldn’t buy New offspring for its farms. In other regions the norm had a scope much more limited. The eggs, under the focus. That the Royal Decree of 2021 is news is now explained for a simple reason: the eggs have become considerably more expensive in recent weeks. In a scenario marked by the increase in demand and the costs and ghost of the avian flu that hits the United States, the Ministry of Agriculture calculates that its price at origin has risen 30% In just one year. So far from 2025 the increases have been, depending on the type of product, between 11 and 18%, with increases especially pronounced in the last month. The OCU estimates that “a dozen medium eggs now costs 25% more than a month ago.” Specifically, it calculates that the price of M Eggs M have risen 25.2% if they are compared to the data of April 2024. It also agrees that the rise has been more marked the last two weeks. Looking for the causes. OCU is not limited only to Identify ups Price, which move between 25% of the M Eggs and 15.4% year -on -year of the L. have also investigated the causes of that increase, a sum of “several factors” among which includes the rise in prices at origin, the US crisis by avian flu, an increase in production controls and “collective psychosis.” “The videos, information in networks … of individuals talking about the price increase and comparing what the eggs cost the eggs creates an environment in which we all expect that ‘crisis’”, Reason the organization of consumers, which warns about the possible “speculation.” With that backdrop in the US there are even those who have opted for rent chickens and self -abuse. In Spain, having its own domestic corral is not such a strange option, especially in the rural, but that: to avoid scares (and fines) it is convenient to know the law and … Read more

Simply reluctant to you in the following for a cost of 100 euros

by

Traveling by plane is little less than hell. It is, at least, the perception that has been pending in recent years among passengers who have to face long waiting times, exhaustive police controls, inflexible policies with luggage … and start floating the idea that, if you do not reach a flight you will have to accept a fine of 100 euros. A fine that does not exist and that Ryanair does not apply. Hell. There was a day when getting on a plane was beautiful, comfortable and aspirational. Today most already hates it. The head of the article signed last year in Xataka summarizes the discomfort of passengers when flying. The experience of a plane trip has been completely transformed over the years. Something more than half a century has been enough to transform an experience in which you could enjoy the food of “A select chefs group” to give water from the sink to the passengers. According to account MirrorThis is what happened on a Ryanair flight last year. A misunderstood democratization. The good part of the story is that more than 50 years ago, flying was synonymous with elitism, of having enough money to allow a trip in a tremendously expensive device that was within the reach of very few people. Today, our skies have been filled with airplanes but the way of traveling has also been degraded to the inconceivable. On the way we have let companies measure our luggage and play from a position of power with our time. Are you willing to pay more to travel despite Your suitcase meets the regulations? And it is not only a matter of low -cost companies. Financial Times He points out that one in four flights in the United States already arrives late and that losses of the suitcases have multiplied by five. A passenger assures that Ryanair sanctions him with 70 euros because the wheels of his suitcase exceed the maximum allowed in two centimeters Ryanair, in the eye of the hurricane. If a company has become famous for playing in the fine line between legality and the clear abuse of power is Ryanair. The company is one of the most relevant on European flights thanks to its low prices. In return, hand luggage regulations (among other things) are so strict that there are cases such as two German tourists who had to pay more than 200 euros because their suitcase exceeded the allowed size in one centimeter, according to Diario de Mallorca. Small example. The last great controversy has arrived with the conflict between the government and the airline following a fine of the Ministry of Consumer. This considers that the company’s policy to ban the plane with a hand suitcase is illegal and has imposed it A fine of more than 100 million euros. To which Ryanair has answered with the threat of get out of smaller airports of the country, seriously injuring them. But calling the consumer minister to answer the fine has been one of the last controversies of great draft but not the only one. The company has confirmed that this year they plan to delete the physical shipping card and that only the plane can be accessed using the mobile phone. Assures that they will attend to those who have broken the phone but have not responded to Xataka What happens if a passenger goes with the physical card. Facua says that this is illegal. Not everything is a bad praxis. Ryanair’s practices have led the company to be subject to multiple holders in the media. In good part of the cases because they apply demands that do not have other airlines, because their extras are much more expensive than the competition or because they are inflexible in their regulations. But there are also cases such as “Fine of 100 euros that Ryanair will make you if you are late for shipment”. This fine does not exist. It is simply an extra that the company offers to be readmitted on the next flight available. As long as those 100 extra euros are paid. That is, it is an addition to the rate known as “Flight loss charge”. It is available if the passenger arrives with less than 40 minutes to the boarding door and the doors have already been closed. You can also use it up to an hour after the air off. Strangle the language. What has been done in this case by some media and on social networks has been to strangle the language until something supposedly news is achieved. On its websiteRyanair assures that the billing counters “closely closed 40 minutes before the exit of your flight, unless you notify you otherwise before the flight exit. If you do not invoice before that period, it is possible that you will be denied the embarkation without the right to reimbursement.” Those 40 minutes are those that have served as an excuse to talk about an alleged fine that does not exist, it is simply an alternative to buying another plane ticket at the airport. Each company establishes a minimum of minutes before closing the doors. To put some examples: Flexible rates. The supply of flexible rates that allow some type of change in the paths are usual. When flying, Vueling allows a change On the flight up to two hours before the exit as long as you pay the difference with the new journey. They say you can save between 55 and 70 euros. Ryanair herself also has a rate Specific for flight change before closing its shipping doors. And it’s not just a matter of flying. In the railroad, this type of options in which they pay an extra allow the change of day and time of a train is usual until a few minutes before. It is something that offers from the BIRD until Ouigo either Iro. Also when the train has been lost (the equivalent of Ryanair’s option). In Iryo, for example, this change It … Read more

0.2 g/l in blood and fines of 1,000 euros

Congress has taken a key step to harden alcohol restrictions at the wheel in Spain. The lower house has taken into consideration A proposition of the law of the PSOE not only reduce the maximum alcohol rate in blood at 0.2 g/l but also prohibit the dissemination of police controls on social networks. The text has advanced with a single vote against Vox and the abstention of the PP. The current limits in Spain. The breathalyzer rate measures the blood alcohol level and is expressed in grams per liter of blood (g/l) or in milligrams per liter of exhaled air (mg/l). According to the DGTthe current legal limit is 0.5 g/l in blood and 0.25 mg/l in exhaled air for drivers in general. However, novels and professionals have more severe restrictions: 0.3 g/l in blood and 0.15 mg/l in exhaled air. What does the initiative say. The proposition of the PSOE unifies rates for all drivers, regardless of their age or permission. Thus, consider as severe infraction driving with alcohol rates greater than 0.2 g/l in blood or 0.1 mg/l in exhaled air. These are “some measures whose objective is to ‘put a brake’ to a dramatic reality that, year after year, leaves behind a trail of avoidable deaths,” The parliamentary group has said. The text establishes The following infractions scheme points that “the infractions provided for in article 77c) when the alcohol rate exceeds 0.5 milligrams per liter of exhaled air or 1 grams per liter in blood, yd) will be sanctioned with a fine of 1,000 euros”. Driving with an alcohol rate greater than 0.1 to 0.25 mg/0.2 to 0.5 g/l: Loss of 2 points of the card. Driving with an alcohol rate greater than 0.25 to 0.50 mg/0.5 up to 1.0 g/l: loss of 4 points of the card. Driving with an alcohol rate greater than 0.5 mg/lo 1.0 g/l: loss of 6 points of the card. With the proposed limit, a beer could already mark positive. The Ministry of Health points out that the liver can only metabolize 0.12 g/l of blood alcohol every hour. Therefore, if the new limits are applied, drinking a third of beer could cause an breathalyzer control to be overcome if the necessary time of metabolization has not passed, which is usually 1 hour and 45 minutes in men and 2 hours and 50 minutes in women. What do studies say? The promoters of the proposition have provided data from the National Institute of Toxicology and Forensic Sciences. According to the agency, 33% of the drivers who died in traffic accidents had alcohol in blood. Also 29% of pedestrians who died on Spanish roads had consumed alcohol or drugs. In addition, the State Attorney General’s Office indicates that in 2023 more than 50,000 criminal convictions were registered for driving with an alcohol rate higher than permitted. But there is more. As we indicated above, it is also sought to prohibit the dissemination of the location of alcohol and drug controls in social networks. In this case, the objective is to prevent mobiles from being used “as an instrument to protect the impunity of a minority of dangerous and contumaces.” It is a problem that has been staging for some time and has become a true headache for the DGT. The process is still underway. Taking into consideration of the proposition of the PSOE law is an advance, but does not mean its approval. We will have to wait for the next plenary to know if the reduction of the alcohol rate will obtain its definitive ratification.

That the DGT is going to fine you with 135 euros for driving only in your car sounds bad. The only problem is that it is false

It has become a small classic. From time to time, the news about the DGT points to new fines, sanctions or restrictions (each one more rare or unexpected) that, of course, does not exist. The last bulus points to the obligation to circulate with more than one person in the car. And if not … fine? Of course not. It is the first thing that has made us clear the DGT. To questions from Xatakafrom the organism they tell us that the DGT “will never fine to go alone in the car.” Because, indeed, that has been the last rumor that has been popularized in social networks and of which some media echoed dropping that this measure is being valued. What do we talk about? In recent days, The voice has run that the DGT works to carry out a regulation that forces us to circulate with more than one person inside the car. It has even been said that there will be fines of 135 euros if this supposed new regulation is breached. Where does all this come from? The last bulus that involves the DGT is born from a few words expressed by Pere Navarro, director of the agency, last November during the Global Mobility Call. In him he affirmed that “The future will be shared or will not be”. With this, the director of the DGT wanted to make clear the importance of sharing vehicle to save in resources and consume and pollute less. However, “one thing is to foster and another fine,” they tell us from the DGT. And the words of the director of the DGT seem to go along this line unless they want to strangle to generate noise and clicks. There is a reason. And for the DGT that reason is that, according to their data, 85% of the displacements carried out every day in Spanish cities between home and work are done with a single occupant in a vehicle. This way of moving is obviously not very efficient. “We must make a collective change of mentality that allows us to encourage the high occupation of the vehicles, because we cannot afford 1,500 kg every day to displace a single person. Increasing the occupation of the vehicles is a challenge and a necessity,” Navarro said in his speech. The “case” of France. And we could use many, but many quotes. To ensure that the fine for breaching this alleged DGT standard will be 135 euros, some media have come to say that this measure is already applied in France and that heat cameras are used to warn if there is more than one person on board. But this is not true. Vao. What has been launched in some French cities is A high occupation lane. That is, a lane like the Spanish bus-life by which only vehicles with more than one person can circulate inside. Lanes that in the Spanish case are already controlled with the use of traffic cameras and whose Fine for using it improperly is 200 euros. For the control of these lanes, indeed, In France thermal radars are being used. The objective is to prevent some stratagems from being used that deceive the cameras. In Spain, for example, cases of using dolls in the passenger seat so that, disguised, pass a companion. And one last detail. To all of the above we must add that the DGT has no competences to regulate traffic in cities. Regulate the functioning of low emissions areas (ZBE) falls on the side of the municipalities. In fact, it is something that has been complaining for a long time and using as endorsement not to establish these zbe which are mandatory since 2023 in the municipalities of more than 50,000 inhabitants.
