A Valencian politician has decided to celebrate a wedding to marry with himself. There is a word that explains it: Sologamia

A few days ago Stephane Soriano, Benaguasil Councilor (Pp) and general director of the Diversity area of the Generalitat Valenciana, brought together friends, family and colleagues in a luxurious estate located 25 kilometers from Valencia to share with them Your wedding. And as in every Bodorrio that boasts there were gala costumes, emotional moments, photos, laughs and even launch of the bouquet and alliance. What there was not was a couple to share the famous “Yes, I want.” Soriano He married himself. And in doing so he joined a trend that has been gaining adherents and above all visibility: The Sologamia. “Celebrate family, friends and love”. The announcement has been in charge of doing so Stephane Soriano himself Via Instagramwhere he has also published some photos of the celebration. In them he is seen suit, dancing, hugging friends, family and colleagues, speaking to the guests and even throwing a bouquet of flowers. “There are days in life that are marked and yesterday is. Celebrate family, friends and love is to celebrate life,” wrote. “I fulfilled my word”. Not just that. The politician of the Mazón team has also explained why and at what time he decided to celebrate a wedding with himself. History, Explainstarted in 2023, during a visit to Ballastar Molíthe farmhouse in which a few days ago he celebrated his Self -in. He liked the environment so much that Soriano asked that same day to be reserved for a date for a ceremony. The fact that I had no partner or wedding plans was the least. “I would find it,” he jokes. The fact is that time passed, the appointment agreed with the management of the farm and the leader was found without a couple who promises eternal love. “I didn’t find her, but they called me to remind me that I had the reservation and decided to move on,” He recounts in statements collected by The world. Thus, Soriano asked for two au Soriano promises Deliver tomorrow to your partner, if it arrives. “It was half jokingly, but if one day I find the right person, I will give it to him.” Something more than congratulations. Soriano’s decision did not take long attract attention of the press and generate a cascade of comments. Some positive. Others not so much, as Recognize the leader Valencian in networks. “Narcissism? Performance? Callas? I have read many things these days. Some criticisms have made me smile, others have made me think. But they all confirm something: there are still those who are uncomfortable when someone leaves the script,” Reflect. “It was not a literal wedding. It was a party. An excuse. A symbol. A promise I made two years ago when I reserved a beautiful place to celebrate love, the one that arrives, the one that is already, the one that is built with friends, with family, with oneself,” Soriano claims. “If this gesture serves to open questions, question molds or inspire someone to live with more freedom, it will be worth it. And yes: I will continue to defend that in diversity there is also the game, the joy and the right not to ask permission to be happy.” Media yes, unique no. The Valencian politician is not the first to “yes (me) to himself. Moreover, with its gesture it adds to an increasingly visible current both inside and outside Spain: The Sologamiaa practice that basically consists of claiming the commitment and love that a person feels towards himself. The key is that it is also made in an active, public and visible way, reaching the point of celebrating a symbolic ceremony in which this feeling is celebrated with family and friends. The trend about a year ago It was already news Because three Asturian decided to celebrate similar weddings in Gijón: they surrounded themselves with friends and family and gave themselves a “yes I want.” The person who was in charge of officiating the “wedding” had already done something similar years agowhen he celebrated an act in which he claimed himself as “a complete orange”, not waiting for his other half. “It’s hard to explain”. Vanessa García, 37, one of the women who spent that day through the “altar”, Recognize that feeling “is difficult to explain.” “It’s like being alone, but keep being with yourself. When you travel with your partner or pet you feel that you have someone there with you. This is the same, but that other person is you,” He recounts. On the day of his wedding he “reaffirmed as a person who has self -love”, he loves, respects and cares. “The ceremony is a way of deceiving the brain and making it tangible,” duck. Curiously, neither Vanessa nor her other two companions close to have partners in the future. In fact they have already experienced what life is to share with another person. Its position is different from that of We aged themwho choose to live alone, without boyfriends or spouses, and rule out committing. Neither so new nor so strange. Cases such as Vanessa or Stephane give visibility every so often to Sologamia, but the reality is that the trend is neither new nor is it as uncommon as it may seem. Its origins can be traced to 1993When Linda Baker, a Los Angeles woman, decided to organize a wedding in which “husband and wife.” All this surrounded by friends and family and with a trustworthy person who worked as a officiant. A quick search on Google throws More cases Throughout the following years despite the fact that those who participate in links We sológo They lack some of the practical advantages of traditional weddings. For example, the act does not have a binding character or entitles a 15 -day permission. That has not prevented that over the last years more and more people have decided to emulate Linda or Vanessa. How exactly it is not easy to specify it because there are no official records, but in 2024 The world He slid … Read more

This explains the PVPC climb in May

Almost a month after the blackout that ravaged Spain, Portugal and southern France, the event has caused A wave of reactions in which the debate has been more than served. The main cause of the discussion has been the stability of the Spanish electrical system in a context of high penetration of renewable energy. Although initially the lack of inertia was indicated as possible cause, subsequent reports indicate that the level of inertia In the system it was adequate and exceeded European recommendations. Research has pointed to A series of anomalous eventsincluding oscillations in the electricity grid and generation losses in southwest regions, which triggered the collapse. However, there are still inquiries to continue to determine exactly the origin of the failure. It is a process that will take time: that they tell USA either Italywhere similar research took years. But in the meantime, the priority is to guarantee stability at all costs. The problem is that this security has a price. A price to pay. The Electricity of Spain (REE) has intensified The energy support with gas plants to ensure speed of response to any mismatch. This greater “firmness and flexibility” implies cost overruns that are already beginning to be noticed in the receipt of the light of many homes. In depth. The May electrical bill will be more expensive for about a third of domestic consumers: those that are welcomed to the regulated market (PVPC). According to the countryan average family with a consumption of 249 kilowatts hour (kWh) in May will pay 4.08 euros more in April. That represents an approximate rise of 8% compared to 50 euros from the previous month. The increase is not due to the price of energy itself, but to an increase in the so -called “adjustment services”, costs associated with maintaining the balance of the electrical system in real time. In May, these services have been more expensive to 3.59 cents per kWh. In the coming months. Despite this punctual rebound, the general context of the electrical system is favorable. The average May cost is below € 14/MWh, very close to the historical minimum registered in April 2024, according to the data of the Iberian Energy Market (OMIE). In addition, now the impact only affects the regulated market, but in the medium and long term it will have consequences for those in the free market, when they renew contracts or change company. What if the support had been given by the nuclear? Although they provide stable generation, their lack of flexibility prevents them from reacting quickly to events such as the blackout. In fact, during the April 28 crisis, nuclear power plants were automatically disconnected and took more than other sources to work again, such as Several experts explained to us. In addition, the high renewable generation of these months has forced to operate the idlewhich further limits its role as system support. Therefore, the reinforcement has fallen to the most expensive gas plants, and the extra cost is over the invoice. A photo for summer. In the last daily balances of Ree, corresponding to the last days of May, A strong renewable prominence is confirmed in the Spanish electrical system. However, this advance is not exempt from challenges since to guarantee the stability of the network in an environment of high renewable penetration, it will be necessary to strengthen investment in technologies of storage, MicroRedes and backup systems that ensure a safe and continued supply.

Tenants spend more than recommended for rent. And there is something that explains it: “Hot Spots” internationalized

Buying house is not easy. Rent, either. Every month a large part of Spanish families living as tenants disheve The advice Of the experts and expose their pockets to situations of “overexertion”, which means that they are forced to pay their landlords a pinch of their income greater than desirable. When it goes down to detail, like He has just made idealisthowever, a curious phenomenon is observed: not in all cities the tenants make the same effort. Moreover, there are many provincial capitals in which this effort is totally assumed. The Great question Therefore it is: is overwriting a problem of the Spanish residential market in general or rather something that weighs on certain internationalized cities, such as Madrid, Barcelona and Malaga? A percentage: 36%. That is the “effort rate” that supported the closure of 2024 Spanish households living for rent. Or at least this has been calculated idealist in A study in which he nourishes two major sources: the ads published on their own website and the National Statistics Institute (INE), which has served to obtain information on homes and rent of families. The data is interesting because (technicalities separately) the “effort rate” is an important indicator for any tenant: shows what percentage of income dedicates to paying your home. The general recommendation is that this expense It does not exceed 30% of annual profits. There are those who stretch it a little more and talk about overwhelming alone From 40%. One or another reference is taken, idealist reflects that on Middle Spain exceeds the 30% barrier and steady the red zone. Click on the image to go to Tweet. A figure: 981 euros. The study Not only does the thermometer that Spaniards make to pay their rentals make. It also goes down to data in euros and sound. And its conclusion is that, on average, in Spain there is a two -room -type floor requires 981 euros per month, quite above what it would have to cost for a home standard He could rent it without crossing that red line of 30% of his annual income. Idealista believes that this “reasonable” and assumed price is 764 euros. The fact is interesting again for several reasons. First because it reflects that the difference between the “reasonable” price and the average that is handled in the market is 217 euros per month. Second because the study shows that there are very few homes that fit (or are below) of those 764 euros. According to their calculations, they are only 32%, which means that the remaining 68% of the rental housing offer requires the tenants to tighten their finances. A city: Barcelona. In Your study Idealista goes down to the detail of some provincial capitals, which allows you to appreciate an interesting reality. The effort to deal with rentals is not equally intense in all cities. Moreover, there are enough cities in which (on average) families are not even forced to cross the red line of 30% of their annual income. It is well seen comparing two extreme cases: Barcelona and Ciudad Real. In the first, the city, idealist Calculate That the “reasonable rent” for a two -bedroom floor would be 1,036 euros. That is, that is the monthly income that Barcelona families could pay without having to spend more money from their recommended income. However, there are very few houses that fit that stop, only 16%. Royal market rentals are much higher and are on average in 1,796, which explains that the city has the highest effort rate of the capitals: 49%. In the opposite pole is Ciudad Real, where Idealista’s photo It is radically different. There the “reasonable rental” barrier would be at 881 euros, an amount to which 98% of the homes offered are adjusted. Moreover, the average monthly payment is requested by a two -bedroom house is 501 euros, below that red line. Consequently, the effort rate is only 16%. Capital Effort rate (two bedroom housing) Barcelona 49% Palm 45% Malaga 42% Madrid, Valencia 41% Alicante 38% Segovia 35% Las Palmas de GC, Donostia 34% S/C of Tenerife 33% Bilbao 32% Girona 31% Seville 30% Cádiz 28% Granada, Vitoria-Gasteiz 27% Pamplona, ​​Coruña 26% Ceuta, Salamanca, Guadalajara, Santander, Huelva, Almería 25% Tarragona, Pontevedra, Oviedo, Córdoba, Albacete, Castellón de la Plana 24% León, Valladolid, Zaragoza, Logroño, Ávila 23% Murcia, Badajoza, Zamora, Soria, Lugo, Burgos 22% Ourense, Cuenca, Cáceres, Lleida, Huesca, Toledo 21% Melilla, Jaén 20% Palencia, Teruel 19% Ciudad Real 16% Spain 36% One question: Is it an isolated case? No. Neither from Barcelona nor that of Ciudad Real. In fact, the report reveals something else: that although on Middle Spain it registers an effort rate of 36%, several points above the desirable for tenants, in reality that indicator only exceeds 30% in a handful of large capitals characterized by its high population, internationalization and tourist profile. In Malaga, for example, which has highlighted In recent years for its ability to capture technological multinationals and as Digital nomad destinationthe effort rate is 42%. In tourist points such as Palma, Valencia, Alicante, Las Palmas, Donostia or Tenerife also exceed 30%. A fact: 39 capitals. Ciudad Real is not the only town in which the effort rate is in the lathe or even below 20%. In the same situation are Teruel, Palencia, Jaén and Melilla. In general, the idealist reflects that there are 39 capitals in which the indicator does not reach 30%. Eight other provincial headwaters move between 30 and 40% and there are five between 40 and 49%. The data are in line with the evolution of the effort rate nationallywhich has remained between 2020 and 2021 around 30% and has increased in recent years, but without exceeding 40%, such as In Barcelona or Madrid. A footnote. The idealist study is just that, a study. And as such it must be taken, also taking into account that focusing its analysis on a very concrete profile: its authors have focused on a profile of 2.4 people/home, “a current average … Read more
