Import query: Can anyone advise me.
Import duty to Spain. Anyone have any idea.
By that I do mean anything coming from without the EU.
Recently a new credit card from the UK has cost 6€ I/d.
A key taken inadvertently back to the UK, has cost 4€50 I/d when returned. A new key cut locally cost just 3€.
I have investigated and was given to believe I/d started on goods valued at above 19-99€, at varying rates according to classification. For me this doesn’t add up. Is there a Digamite who can advise?
With regards Gerry, Torrox

Electricity bills will increase by 15% for 8 million households if the regulated tariff is eliminated, as demanded by the EU: {Trans, summary}
– The European Union is pressuring Spain to abolish the regulated electricity tariff (PVPC), arguing that such state set prices should be temporary and limited to vulnerable consumers. The Spanish Government has resisted immediate removal, requesting analysis from the National Commission for Markets and Competition (CNMC) to defend the system. The Consumers and Users Organisation (OCU) warns that eliminating the PVPC would raise bills by about 15 percent for eight million households, nearly a third of the total. For a typical household, annual costs could rise from €708 to €814, with some free market tariffs even higher. The organisation stresses that this increase reflects current differences between regulated and free market offers, most of which are more expensive and difficult to compare. The OCU insists that the PVPC is vital in energy crises, provides a benchmark for the market, and supports the social electricity bonus. Without it, many families would face greater financial strain.

The private prosecutors request the withdrawal of Zapatero’s passport and his provisional imprisonment: {Trans, summary}
– The private prosecutions are making their move after the indictment of former Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero {pic} for the alleged crimes of leading a criminal organization, influence peddling and falsification of documents, and will request that Magistrate José Luis Calama adopt “urgent” precautionary measures against the socialist leader. They will request that the investigating judge confiscate Zapatero’s passport and order his provisional imprisonment, given “the seriousness of the evidence and the high risk of flight.” Source, Spanish: https://www.larazon.es/espana/acusaciones-populares…

Feijóo demands Sánchez resign, but the president closes ranks with Zapatero, affirms that “there will be elections in 2027” and proclaims “All respect for the presumption of innocence and all my support for Zapatero”: {Trans, summary}
– Pedro Sánchez has defended former president José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero after his indictment in the Plus Ultra case, closing ranks with him and highlighting his legacy. Sánchez avoided commenting on the judge’s ruling, instead stressing Zapatero’s achievements such as expanding rights, ending ETA, and withdrawing Spain from the Iraq war. He insisted that elections will be held in 2027 and that the PSOE could govern for “four or eight more years” if Spaniards wish.
– PP opposition leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo demanded Sánchez’s resignation, arguing that Zapatero’s alleged influence trafficking stains the presidency. He questioned Sánchez about Zapatero’s role in government and accused him of enabling corruption. Feijóo claimed Sánchez’s Council of Ministers was essential for Zapatero’s alleged crimes, and accused the government of applying the motto “he who can steal, should steal”. He presented himself as the alternative, promising to end corruption.
– Sánchez responded by attacking Feijóo’s past links with drug trafficker Marcial Dorado. {Sánchez’s mention of Feijóo’s past links with Galician drug trafficker Marcial Dorado stem from five photos taken in 1995, published in 2013, which revealed Feijóo holidaying and sailing with Dorado. Feijóo claims he knew nothing of illegal activities, and that sounds reasonable…the Dorado drug case was not exposed until the mid-2000s. Is that the best you can do Pedro, twist some ancient gossip to defend your current scandals? -Ed}.
– Sánchez concluded that governments are “won with votes, not shortcuts,” despite the fact he lost the last popular vote to Feijóo.
– Sánchez also rallied his allies, defending Zapatero’s record, and promising to continue legislating until 2027, with Royal Decrees forming 75% of the agenda! {What the heck kind of democratic process is that, King Pedro? Rule by decree sounds like a dictatorship. -Ed.} Source, Spanish: https://www.20minutos.es/nacional/sanchez-cierra-filas-con-zapatero-tras-su-imputacion-descarta-dimitir-habra-elecciones-2027_6972637_0.html

Time for the Left to eat their own again? – The ruling on Zapatero causes Sumar and Sánchez’s other partners to shift their stance, rejecting Moncloa’s ‘lawfare’ narrative, and demanding explanations: {Trans, summary} (Moncloa = President’s residence)
– The judicial ruling placing José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero at the head of a structured network of influence trafficking has caused a clear shift among Sumar and other parliamentary partners of Pedro Sánchez. Parties that initially defended Zapatero or invoked lawfare have now distanced themselves, demanding explanations and acknowledging the seriousness of the accusations. Sumar’s Enrique Santiago, who previously stressed that former presidents may engage in private activities, now warns that being paid for political dealings is a crime and calls for strict regulation of all post-presidential activities. Compromís deputies admit that the ruling does not look good and that many clarifications are required, while even Agueda Micó concedes that lawfare is no longer evident.
– ERC’s Gabriel Rufián, though still speaking of a judicial hunt, recognises the solidity of the ruling and presses Sánchez to respond, asking where lobbying ends and influence trafficking begins. Podemos leader Ione Belarra also moderates her tone, stating that the ruling looks ugly and noting that what it describes could not have occurred without the Government’s involvement. Overall, Sánchez’s allies are retreating from his lawfare narrative and demanding accountability. Source, Spanish: https://www.europapress.es/nacional/noticia-auto-zapatero-hace-virar-sumar…

Santiago Abascal (Vox) accuses Pedro Sánchez to his face, “You preside over a corrupt mafia, but of all your corruptions the worst is the immigration invasion”– the full statement from Wednesday’s session of Congress, that Sanchez declined to respond to…how embarrassing: {Trans}
– “All of Spain knows that you are Ábalos’s boss, you are Koldo’s boss, you are Cerdán’s boss, and you are Zapatero’s partner or boss, but that is something the courts will tell us.” This was the statement made by VOX leader Santiago Abascal this Wednesday in Congress, one day after the former president of the government was charged with corruption, and during which he denounced the “migratory invasion” that Spain is suffering.
– “It is absolutely dystopian to have to ask you this question. How is it possible that there is a country, ours, where a large part of social benefits, rental assistance, maternity aid, the minimum vital income, nursery school places, end up going to foreigners who have arrived in Spain, theoretically to contribute? You have brought two and a half million people in the last two years, and more will come with the regularization process. These are not the normal figures of regular immigration; these are the figures of a migratory invasion that collapses social services, collapses healthcare, makes housing inaccessible, and often brings insecurity,” he stated.
– “You tell us they come to pay Spanish pensions, but they end up receiving social benefits that Spaniards cannot access, and some even collect another pension from their own countries simultaneously but claim they need more benefits from Spain. They come to tell us they will do the jobs Spaniards no longer want to do, but there are 15% of legal immigrants unemployed in Spain, and half a million of them already benefit from the minimum vital income,” he added.
– “The truth is that humble Spaniards are fiscally looted and often cannot become independent, start a family, or have a home because they have to pay for nursery places, healthcare, social benefits, and rental assistance for those who have just arrived. And the truth is that Spaniards are suffering the consequences of the migratory invasion in their own flesh. Meanwhile you ignore the legal immigrants who have come asking for permission, respecting the laws, respecting our culture, and who are contributing, but you don’t care about any of that because you have already given enough signs today that you despise the Spanish people and want to replace them with a process of massive and fraudulent nationalizations, as your partners have already confessed.”
– “You don’t care about that, just as you don’t care that everyone knows you preside over a corrupt mafia, but of all your corruptions—that of your partner Zapatero, of your family and political circle—the worst is the migratory invasion because it directly harms Spaniards, and precisely for that reason, the vast majority of Spaniards, including socialist voters, are in favour of national priority in access to all public benefits and in access to rental housing.”
– After Pedro Sánchez did not respond, Abascal told him that “he once again shows his lack of respect for the Chamber and for Spaniards by not answering why he has placed Spaniards last in access to social benefits and housing assistance with his policies. He does what he always does: lie.” Source, Spanish: https://gaceta.es/espana/santiago-abascal-retrata-en-el-congreso-a-pedro-sanchez-usted-preside-una-mafia-corrupta-pero-de-todas-sus-corrupciones-la-peor-es-la-invasion-migratoria-20260520-0953/
MALAGA PROVINCE
Four municipalities in Malaga will restrict water use due to the “worrying state” of the aquifers: {Trans, summary}
– The four towns of Alameda, Humilladero, Fuente de Piedra {pic} and Mollina have jointly declared that, despite recent heavy rainfall, their aquifers remain in a worrying state. After years of severe drought, underground reserves have not recovered, and the councils warn that the situation is still critical.
– To protect water supply for the coming months, they have introduced preventive restrictions. Residents may not use mains water to irrigate orchards or gardens, nor for cleaning façades, pavements or private vehicles. Private swimming pools may also not be filled with municipal water. The councils stress that these measures are necessary to ensure future availability and that further restrictions may be imposed if water resources continue to decline. They call for public responsibility and cooperation as the four municipalities face an ongoing shortage that recent rainfall has not resolved.

– The Torrox Town Hall and the Peña Flamenca La Bodega have officially presented the 36th Villa de Torrox National Flamenco Singing Competition ‘Con Duende’, a now unmissable event on the national scene, which will be held on Saturdays between June 13th and July 18th. The presentation was attended by the mayor of the municipality, Óscar Medina, the Councilor for Culture and Popular Traditions, Salvador Escudero, and the president of the Peña Flamenca La Bodega, Antonio Villena.
– The mayor of Torrox praised the prestige of this competition, now in its 36th year, describing it as “one of the most important national competitions in Spain in terms of investment and hours of work.” Medina highlighted the monumental setting of the historic centre where the event will take place, specifically in the Picasso Gardens , inviting residents and tourists to enjoy the best live flamenco singing.
– The qualifying rounds will take place in Plaza Picasso, next to the headquarters of the organizing club, on Saturdays, June 13, 20, and 27, as well as July 4 and 11. The grand final, where the awards will be decided, is scheduled for July 18.
– To make this event possible, the city council is investing over €13,000 through the Department of Culture, allocated to both the technical infrastructure (stage design, state-of-the-art lighting, and sound) and the prize money. A total of €4,200 in cash will be distributed across four categories, with €2,200 going to the winner, in addition to a trophy for each of the four finalists.
– Registration for interested flamenco singers remains open and can be completed at the flamenco club’s headquarters or by calling 687 886 532. Source, Spanish: https://axarquia-news.es/torrox-convoca-su-xxxvi-concurso-nacional-de-cante-flamenco-con-duende-con-4-200-euros-en-premios/

TORRE DEL MAR
Arrested after stabbing a waiter at a beach bar in Torre del Mar with a screwdriver: {Trans}
– A 32-year-old man has been arrested after allegedly stabbing a waiter at a beach bar on the Torre del Mar seafront with a screwdriver, reports Diario Sur.
– The incident unfolded on Monday, May 18, around 5:00 p.m., when emergency services received an urgent call about an individual who had violently entered the restaurant carrying the screwdriver. Police officers immediately went to the scene and found the alleged perpetrator already being detained by several people present at the location.
– According to the information that has emerged, the detainee entered the premises, lowered his pants in front of the public and, when the employees reprimanded him for his attitude, he took out a large screwdriver and began to make death threats to customers and workers, shouting “I’m going to kill you.”
– A waiter bravely intervened to try to remove him from the beach bar. The attacker allegedly knocked the worker to the ground and stabbed him in the shoulder with the tool. The quick and decisive intervention of several witnesses proved crucial in subduing the assailant, preventing further injuries before the police arrived.
– Police authorities have confirmed that the arrested man will have to answer to the judicial authorities on charges of attempted homicide. The victim received medical attention at the scene and, fortunately, his injuries are not serious. Source, Spanish: https://www.axarquiaplus.es/detenido-tras-apunalar…
USA
Here we go again, another Venezuela? Former Cuban President Raul Castro charged with murder in US:
– Former Cuban President Raul Castro {pic} has been indicted in the United States on murder charges, court records showed on Wednesday, in a major escalation in Washington’s pressure campaign against the island’s communist government.
– The indictment comes as U.S. President Donald Trump has pushed for a regime change in Cuba, where Castro’s communists have been in charge since his late brother Fidel Castro led a revolution in 1959. The details of the charges were not immediately available. A U.S. Justice Department official told Reuters last week on the condition of anonymity that the charges against him are expected to be based on a 1996 incident in which Cuban jets shot down planes operated by a group of Cuban exiles.
– Trump in a statement earlier on Wednesday called Cuba a “rogue state harboring hostile foreign military” and framed his administration’s actions regarding the Caribbean island as part of a broader effort to expand U.S. influence in the Western Hemisphere. “From the shores of Havana to the banks of the Panama Canal, we will drive out the forces of lawlessness and crime and foreign encroachment,” Trump said at a Coast Guard Academy event in New London, Connecticut.

HEALTH
The medical strike has a 19.20% participation rate and more than 87,000 appointments have been cancelled: {Trans, summary}
– The fourth day of the doctors strike in Andalusia shows 19.20 percent participation, with more than 87,000 medical appointments, tests and operations cancelled in the first two days. On Monday, 44,719 appointments were suspended, while Tuesday saw 42,358 cancellations. Provincial participation was highest in Almeria at 25.79 percent, followed by Huelva at 24.73 percent and Seville at 21.11 percent. Cadiz registered 19.89 percent, Malaga 19.56 percent, and Granada 18.27 percent. Cordoba and Jaen had the lowest participation, with 11.30 percent and 12.02 percent respectively.
– The strike continues due to unresolved negotiations with the central government. Union president Rafael Ojeda has insisted that the protest will not end until demands are addressed, including fair working hours, recognition of professional classifications, and changes to guard duty conditions. He emphasised persistence and rejected government delay tactics, stating that the union will not tire or surrender.
