Your questions answered by Ruth from Compare Funerals Spain
– Why should I have a funeral plan? Having been funeral planning for over 10 year I’ve experienced some very sad and upset families when nothing is in place. A Spanish funeral plans will ensure that all costs are covered for your funeral service. Getting a prepaid plan will help you feel assured that your family will not be under any financial strain when it comes to paying for your funeral. A plan also means you can have peace of mind that everything has been organised in advance, so your loved ones do not have to make any difficult decisions.
– Why choose Compare Funerals? There seems to be a gap in Spain between independent funeral directors, offering plans at a good price but lacking the security of an established Trust or ability to cover a client overseas and Providers who seem to charge more than necessary. We want to be right in the middle and offer the best of both worlds. Our best-priced plan is only 2,250€ and does the essentials.
– Can I do a payment plan? All our plans are payable in full or over up to 5 years interest FREE. The interest free periods are based on initial deposit. The higher the deposit the less your monthly repayments will be.
– Can I transfer the plan? The answer is YES. You could name 2 people on one plan however if you had a friend/family member pass away we can transfer the plan into a 3rd party’s name.
– What happens if I move? All our plans offer the equivalent service in Spain (including the islands), Portugal, Republic of Ireland and the UK. If you moved to the UK, we would transfer the plan to one of our many partners at no extra cost to you.
– Is paperwork included? Yes, your family will receive a death certificate in Spanish and an international certification in English. We also provide a cremation certificate that allows the ashes on board a plane.

News Note: Most of the local on-line news outlets, the ones with Malaga, Axarquia or Andalucia in their names, are having trouble today, more than the routine troubles I see daily. AI must be struggling, human editors would have caught these errors. I have spotted several obviously incorrect articles today, with gross exaggerations or outright false claims, and opinion pieces disguised as news, that are all parroting each other, and claiming these cloned articles as their own. They may include photos from unrelated events, sometimes labelled as “archive photo”. Whenever you see articles written by “editorial staff”, the name of the outlet, or with no attribution at all, be very suspicious. These are often AI generated and may contain errors (“hallucinations” in tech lingo), and while new laws say publications must identify AI content as such, very few do. In fact, it appears the newsrooms post these rubbish articles as fact with no human review at all. -Ed.
SPAIN
Supreme Court rejects García Ortiz’s appeal and orders him to pay 39,000 euros in costs: {Trans, summary}
– The Supreme Court has confirmed that the former Attorney General of the State, Álvaro García Ortiz, must pay 39,009.48 euros in legal costs for the proceedings in which he was convicted for revealing confidential information about Alberto González Amador, partner of the President of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso.
– The Criminal Chamber has dismissed the appeals filed by both the Prosecutor’s Office and the State Attorney’s Office, which was defending García Ortiz, and thus maintains the amount set after the review of the costs.

The 3 Mossos d’Esquadra officers who helped Puigdemont in his second escape will be tried: {Trans, summary}
– The case against three Mossos d’Esquadra officers accused of helping Carles Puigdemont avoid arrest during his Barcelona appearance on 8 August 2024 has been reinstated by Barcelona’s Provincial Court. The court overturned the earlier decision by an investigating judge to dismiss proceedings against Jordi Rodrigo, Xavier Manso and David Goicoechea.
– The officers cannot be charged with concealment as they had been, but judges ruled there are grounds to examine whether they committed the offence of failing in their duty to pursue a crime. The court stated that being off duty does not automatically remove their obligations as police officers.
– The original dismissal said there was insufficient evidence that the three acted together in a coordinated way to enable Puigdemont’s escape. The appeal was supported by the prosecution and private accusations. The Generalitat later lifted their employment suspension following the incident.
– The renewed proceedings will determine whether their actions amounted to a criminal omission, rather than establishing concealment, which the court rejected at this stage.

AXARQUÍA
The opening of the floodgates in La Viñuela carries river sediments to some beaches in the Axarquía region: {Trans}
– The Public Water and Sanitation Company of Axarquía, Axaragua, reports that, following the water safety protocols established by the Andalusian Water Agency, which is part of the Andalusian Regional Government, the controlled opening of the La Viñuela reservoir gates took place this Tuesday morning.
– This procedure, which is carried out periodically on the first Tuesday of every month, aims to guarantee the proper functioning of all the valves in the reservoir system. Therefore, it is a maintenance operation that ensures the correct functioning of the hydraulic infrastructure for safety reasons.
– As a natural consequence of the flow of displaced water – and given the current high levels of capacity – there has been a dragging of aggregates and river sediments towards the mouth, temporarily affecting the beaches of the Axarquía coast. In a statement, the public company, which is part of the Association of Municipalities of the Costa del Sol Axarquía, clarifies that the water in question is rainwater collected from reservoirs and river runoff, and therefore is neither pollutant nor wastewater, as it has no connection to the purification process. Consequently, the turbidity of the surface water is due to sediment carried from these reservoirs. Axaragua is in contact with the municipalities of the Axarquía coast to minimize the impact on public use of the beaches affected by plant remains, sediments or other natural materials, which will be removed as soon as possible.

Police are searching for the truck driver who fatally struck a Norwegian girl in Malaga province: {Trans, summary}
– The Civil Guard is searching for the driver of the truck that fatally struck a 17-year-old Norwegian teenager on the A-7 motorway as it passed through Mijas (Malaga) and fled after the accident, according to sources involved in the investigation.
– The accident occurred at 5:20 a.m. on Monday, July 6, at kilometer 1027 of the A-7 highway, heading towards Marbella. Several witnesses called 112 to report that a woman had been hit by a car. The 061 Emergency Medical Center, the Civil Guard Traffic Unit (which has taken charge of the investigation), and the Highway Maintenance Service were immediately notified. Paramedics confirmed the victim’s death.
– The minor had gone to see the Norwegian national team’s football match, held last Sunday, July 5, and went out to celebrate the result with some friends. The family confirmed that the victim was the minor who had been missing since the early hours of the morning between 3:00 and 4:00 a.m., when she was last seen with her friends at a nightclub located in Marbella. The Civil Guard is trying to clarify the circumstances surrounding the accident, as well as identify and locate the driver of the vehicle involved.

EUROPE
Le Pen will run in the 2027 French elections following the sentence that requires her to wear an electronic bracelet: {Trans, summary}
– French far-right leader Marine Le Pen announced her candidacy for the Élysée Palace on Tuesday following the verdict handed down today, which sentenced her to one year in prison with the possibility of electronic monitoring for misappropriation of European public funds, but opened the way for her to run in the 2027 presidential elections by reducing her disqualification sentence on appeal.
– Le Pen, 57, also announced that she will appeal to the Supreme Court to “exhaust all legal avenues” to defend her “innocence” in this case of misuse of public funds in the European Parliament. This legal action will suspend the execution of the sentence handed down this Tuesday, and therefore, until the Supreme Court rules, she will not have to campaign with an electronic monitoring bracelet, something she considered essential to launching her renewed bid for the presidency. In any case, Le Pen also announced that Bardella, 30, will be her prime minister if she succeeds in reaching the Élysée Palace on her fourth attempt.
– In a statement, the court noted that disqualification was not a mandatory penalty at the time the offences were committed and pointed out that the 15-month sanction already served since the initial ruling on March 31, 2025, is sufficient to repair the damage done to public integrity. Maintaining it, the statement added, would have violated “the principle of freedom of candidacy.” Source, Spanish: https://www.20minutos.es/internacional/le-pen-anuncia-que-se-presentara-las-elecciones-francia-2027-tras-sentencia-que-reduce-su-inhabilitacion_7011860_0.html
UKRAINE WAR
Ukraine soldier shortage– recruits female prisoners for frontline fighting:
– Ukraine has allowed eligible female prisoners to join the military. For many, frontline service offers a chance at redemption as the war demands new recruits. More than 200 female prisoners have joined the military since May 2024, while others await approval. In exchange for service until the war against Russia ends, sentences are reduced. Commanders say the women are highly motivated, as Ukraine expands recruitment to address troop shortages.

He has also denied wrongdoing for accepting a £5m donation which he failed to declare. Video Link (Sky News)
MIDDLE EAST
US military unleashes ‘powerful strikes’ on Iran to impose ‘heavy costs’ for cease-fire violation:
– The US military launched “powerful strikes” against Iran on Tuesday in response to Tehran’s attacks on three commercial ships near the Strait of Hormuz in the past 24 hours, which American officials view as violations of the US-Iran memorandum of understanding.
– “US Central Command forces have begun launching a series of powerful strikes against Iran to impose heavy costs for targeting and attacking commercial shipping crewed by innocent civilians in an international waterway,” the combatant command said in a statement. “The US strikes are in response to Iranian attacks on three commercial vessels that were transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s demonstrated aggression was unwarranted, dangerous, and a clear violation of the ceasefire,” it added.
– Iran fired on a Qatar-flagged tanker on Tuesday after attacking two tankers from the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia on Monday night. “Iran’s actions in the Strait were wholly unacceptable to the United States and will be met with consequences,” a US official told The Post. US negotiators, however, “continue to work in good faith towards a final deal,” the official noted.
– The US strikes come as President Trump attends a NATO summit in Turkey, where he praised the Turks for assisting with the Iran conflict while condemning the leaders of the UK, Italy, Germany and France for refusing base access to attack Iran and balking at helping reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

WORLD
Trump renews call for US to take over Greenland as he arrives for NATO summit, expresses criticism of Europe:
– Donald Trump has revived his bid for the US to acquire Greenland, threatening to pull all American armed forces out of Europe after the continent repeatedly pushed back.
– Arriving at the Nato summit in Ankara on Tuesday, the US president also suggested his commitment to defending Europe had been tempered by political decisions by leaders on immigration and energy.
– “I was very disappointed with NATO. We weren’t treated well because we did something in Iran. We don’t need anybody’s help, but before I asked they said they wouldn’t be there,” the US president told reporters. “In the case of the United Kingdom, the prime minister, I guess he’s no longer there, maybe because of this, it was a very unpopular thing he did. He said: ‘No, we’ll help after the war is over.’ I said: ‘We don’t need that kind of help.’”
– Reviving an earlier row, Trump also suggested that the disagreement about the ownership of Greenland – which is part of Denmark, a fellow Nato member – had “hurt” his relationship with the military alliance. “Denmark doesn’t spend money to really help Greenland, but it’s an important part for the US, and it’s surrounded by China ships and Russian ships … [It] should be controlled by the US, not by Denmark. And when they wouldn’t go along with it, and with all the money we spend to help them with Russia,” he said.
– “We don’t have to spend any money; we could remove all of our soldiers out of Europe because, as you probably noticed, Europe’s a very different place than it was 20 years ago … they better be careful with immigration and energy. If they’re not careful with those two things, you’re not going to have a Europe any more.”
– Trump also renewed his criticism that NATO allies do not spend enough on defence and are too reliant on the US – an argument European members are attempting to meet head-on by announcing multi-billion-pound defence collaborations.

HEALTH
Health authorities warn of a fault in the nighttime alerts of a mobile diabetes app: {Trans, summary}
– The Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products (AEMPS) reported on Tuesday a problem with a diabetes app for mobile devices that could cause some nighttime alerts to fail to activate correctly. The app in question is MiniMed Go, developed by Medtronic Ibérica and designed to communicate and connect with compatible continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensors and the InPen smart insulin pen.
– According to information provided by Medtronic, when the “Adjust Day & Night” option is disabled, the “Missed Dose” and “Correct High Glucose” alerts may not be triggered overnight. As a result, the patient may not receive these alerts and could miss administering rapid-acting insulin if they do not manually check the data in the app, which in turn could delay treatment and increase the risk of hyperglycemia.
– To resolve this issue, it is necessary to update the MiniMed Go application to version 1.2.0 or higher, something that Medtronic is already informing users about via email.

Look at the mess Google search has become: {DigameXtra}
– When we do a Google search for something, we used to get results with a list of useful, fairly trustworthy reference sources and websites where related content could be found and reviewed. Now you get a list of social media posts! Nothing on social media can be considered authoritative about anything– they are full of fake accounts and bots that post all kinds of rubbish.
– Look at this pic. I did a search for this topic, “Trump harshly criticizes European allies and questions the future of NATO”. I copy/pasted it from a headline, looking for better articles. This is what Google found. All social media links on page 1 of the results, I had to go to the middle of page 2 to find a website link, 12th in the list, and that was some obscure middle eastern new site. This is how the Google search algorithm now prioritises info. Pitiful!
