ANDALUCÍA
The PSOE accuses the Junta of lying about the salaries of Andalusian doctors: {Translation}
– The Andalusian PSOE Health spokesperson in Parliament, Ángeles Prieto, has denied the data provided by the Andalusian Regional Ministry of Health, which places Andalusian doctors as the highest paid doctors in Spain. “We have been looking all day for that doctor in Andalusia who earns 97,888 euros a year and we can’t find him. The reality is that in Andalusia a family doctor earns 48,400 euros a year. And the reality is that family doctors in other autonomous communities earn up to 10,700 euros more per year,” explains Prieto in a note sent out by the party.
– Prieto considers that the problem of doctors not coming to Andalusia is not only “that they earn less” but also that the Andalusian government offers them “precarious contracts of a few days, weeks or months; that they are constantly changing jobs or that there is a brutal work overload due to the cuts”. “The Ministry of Health must get to work on improving the working conditions of professionals so that they do not flee Andalusia,” says the Socialist health spokeswoman in the Andalusian Chamber, who puts the number of doctors lost in the last two years at “1,116”. Prieto calls on the Junta to “work more for public health and less to fabricate manipulations to excuse the disaster of primary care in Andalusia”.

Incompetence, or Worse? The PSOE of Malaga denounces that the Board has left 339 million euros in housing unexecuted: {Translation}
– The PSOE Andalusian MP Alicia Murillo has denounced that the Junta de Andalucía has left a total of 339 million euros in housing in 2023. In a press conference in Torrox together with the PSOE’s Secretary for Social Policies, Mari Nieves Ramírez, she has assured that “with that money at least 2,500 VPO houses could have been built which could have facilitated the access of many families to such an essential asset to form a life project as a house”. Murillo has therefore demanded that Moreno Bonilla’s government “get its act together and work on what is really important, which in this case is housing policy”.
– She also stated that “Pedro Sánchez’s government allocates six times more money to Andalusia for housing than Rajoy’s government, although Moreno Bonilla does not use this money”. Murillo has lamented the inaction of the PP government in the Junta, as the province of Spain is where housing prices are increasing the most. “We are 21% above the national average price, Malaga families have to make an effort of at least 40% of their salary to spend on housing. While the government of Pedro Sánchez is concerned about this situation, the government of Moreno Bonilla is not”, he said.
– For her part, the national MP and Secretary for Social Policies of the PSOE, Mari Nieves Ramírez, has denounced that the PP “since it came to the Junta de Andalucía is destroying our public health”. In this sense, she referred to the increase in waiting lists by 30% in the province and 65% in the Axarquia region.
– “Andalusia is leading the rankings of privatisation of public health in Spain and this embarrasses us. We have to remember how the Spanish Government is increasing the funds coming to Andalusia. We will continue to denounce the problems that people are currently experiencing in our region,” he concluded.

{All these unspent funds for housing, healthcare and Covid recovery are parked somewhere collecting interest. The fact that these funds remain unspent reveals the ineptitude of our leaders. Those fund are supposed to have been spent to relieve the hardships of Andalucians by now. By not using these funds in a timely manner these politicians are intentionally failing to provide the aid they were elected to handle, thus inflicting more of the pain they were elected to relieve! Did anyone out there vote for their representative because they campaigned on the platform of withholding funds intended to promptly better the situation in Andalucia?
– Will that windfall of tens of millions of euros in interest payments on money that should already have been spent be used for the benefit of Andalucians? Or will politicians use that interest money to offset next year’s budget shortfall and then falsely claim they presented a balanced budget, like the Junta attempted to do with the EU recovery funds that first arrived 2 to 3 years ago; that caused the EU to send a commission to investigate and confirm abuses and create a totally new funds disbursement monitoring system? Or perhaps follow Sanchez’s example and spend it on businesses that employ their spouses? Or maybe the Kaldo model, buy millions more of those wonderful, defective, face masks from your friends, at triple the average rate, when proper masks could have been had elsewhere for far less. Hard to say…-Ed.}

ALMUÑÉCAR
Guardia Civil gives squatters ten days to vacate 27 houses on Spain’s Costa Tropical:
– After nearly a decade of squatters occupying houses in the Almuñécar Hills residential are above El Tesorillo on Granada province’s Costa Tropical the Guardia Civil has started evictions in a total of 36 luxury homes. The illegal tenants have a maximum of ten days to leave the properties of their own accord. Nine of them are already empty after two days of action by the police who have a court order to carry out the evictions.
– According to sources close to the operation, a total of 27 houses are still occupied in the Almuñécar Hills area including Calles Citalsol and Citalmar. These properties were left unfinished and abandoned after the bankruptcy of the construction company during Spain’s 2008 financial crisis. Families and individuals in apparently vulnerable situations took advantage of unfinished buildings and moved in illegally in 2015.

Russia gains in Ukraine again- seizes towns in Kharkov, Zelensky urges full defence of the area: {Translation, summary}
– Russia continues its offensive against Ukraine. The Russian Defence Ministry reported on Sunday that it had taken four more towns in the Ukrainian region of Kharkov. It does so after announcing on Saturday the conquest of five other villages in the same area. All of this has led the Ukrainian authorities to sound the alarm about these attacks and confirm that the situation is complex. The Ukrainian president, Volodymir Zelenski, has acknowledged that it is “extremely difficult” in places like Kharkov, where he has defended that “disrupting Russian offensive intentions” must be “the number one task”.
– According to Moscow, the new regions under Russian control are the villages of Gatishe, Krasne, Morokhovets and Olinykove, territories in which the Russian army has intensified its “offensive actions”, as confirmed by the authorities themselves and also by their military bloggers on social networks. Similarly, Russia has stated that the Ukrainian side has lost around a hundred men in the last 24 hours.
– The governor of Kharkov, Oleg Sinegubov, also admitted that the number of localities where there is active fighting has been increasing due to increased Russian interference. “Today the number of massive artillery and shelling attacks has increased. Vovchansk, Liptsi and all points on the northern border are under enemy attack almost 24 hours a day,” the politician said on his Telegram channel.
– The commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian armed forces, Oleksandr Sirksi, has also commented on the Russian advance. He acknowledged that the situation had deteriorated significantly, but said that Ukrainian troops were doing everything possible to stop the Russian advance.

Football News- Alfonso, first goalkeeper in Málaga history to score a goal: {Translation, summary}
– It was the last minute of the game and nobody expected what happened. Málaga goalkeeper, Alfonso Herrero, went up to the opponent’s end for a Malaga corner kick, something that is common for teams who are trailing near the end, but which almost never has much effect. However, the goalkeeper from Toledo surprised everyone with a header to secure an agonising draw against San Fernando that meant the Blue and Whites mathematically qualified for the play offs for promotion to the Second Division.

Online banking is safer using a computer rather than using a mobile device- Malicious Android Apps Pose as Google, Instagram & WhatsApp to Steal Credentials:
– Malicious Android apps masquerading as Google, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Netflix, PayPal, Tumblr, Yahoo and X (formerly Twitter) have been observed to steal users’ credentials from compromised devices. “This malware uses famous Android app icons to mislead users and trick victims into installing the malicious app on their devices,” the SonicWall Capture Labs threat research team said in a recent report.
– “Upon successful delivery, the application would install itself under the guise of a Contacts application,” Symantec said. “Upon execution, the app would request permissions for SMS, Contacts, Storage, and Telephone and subsequently remove itself from view.”
– “Although the number of users affected by PC banking malware continues to decline, … the year 2023 saw the number of users encountering mobile banking Trojans increase significantly,” Kaspersky noted. Full article: https://thehackernews.com/2024/05/malicious-android-apps-pose-as-google.html
FROM THE “WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY THINKING” DEPARTMENT
The “new” Caligula era is upon us- This is the state of the arts in Europe as reflected in the Eurovision 2024 event this weekend. This is how history will remember us 100 years from now:
– Here is the Top 5 in the score board:
Switzerland – 591 points
Croatia – 547 points
Ukraine – 453 points
France – 445 points
Israel – 375 points
Israel, not even a European country, got a shock 338 points from the audience, which temporarily put them in the lead. They ended up fifth.
The bottom 5 were Georgia, Spain (22nd place), Slovenia, Austria and last place to Norway. (The UK was the only country to have received nul points from the audience.)
