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 freind/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.

SPAIN
Personal Attacks At The No Confidence Vote Speeches As Left vs Right Divide Grows:
– ‘Señor Abascal, the candidate that you have presented is simply a decoy for you to hide behind and for you to hide your despicable political agenda,’ Sánchez said to the organiser of the vote.
– ‘Should I apologise?’ Abascal asked, with irony. ‘Our intention was not to degrade the historic legacy of this legislature. We cannot degrade it more than you already have.’
– Vox announced its intention to bring the no-confidence motion after Sánchez’s government reformed laws on sedition and misuse of public funds to relieve the legal pressure on Catalan pro-independence groups last December. Results will be released tomorrow.
– Sánchez’s coalition with Podemos, which governs in a minority supported by smaller regionalist, and even pro-independence parties in Catalonia and the Basque Country, is trying to recover from a recent split over what to do with their own sexual consent law that has inadvertently led to reduced prison terms for hundreds of convicted felons.

After harmony, Spanish gov’t ties to business hit discordant note: {Reuters} The relationship between Spain’s left-wing government and the business sector has deteriorated sharply this year and mutual attacks are getting increasingly personal. As the COVID-19 pandemic wrought havoc on Spain’s economy after the Socialist-led government took power, the two sides cooperated in a constructive way. But things began to sour as the pandemic receded and a cost-of-living crisis took over the agenda, sources said.
– With elections expected in the last quarter of 2023, the likelihood is that the new antipathy will not go away as the Socialists play to their base. “It’s the card the Socialists have pulled out as part of their electoral strategy,” said Manuel Arias Maldonado, a professor in political science at the University of Malaga.
– When Ferrovial Corp. last month announced plans to move its legal headquarters from Spain to the Netherlands, it provoked an angry attack by Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez on the engineering firm’s Chief Executive Officer Rafael del Pino. Some businessmen serve their country, but “after this announcement I believe that this is not the case of Mr. Del Pino,” Sanchez said.
– Such personal attacks on Spain’s captains of industry are becoming a frequent feature of the government, according to business sources.
Juan Roig, CEO of Mercadona, Spain’s largest supermarket chain, was accused of profiting from the cost-of-living crisis by Social Rights Minister Ione Belarra. “In Spain, there’s no longer anyone who can’t be called out – not even Mr. Juan Roig,” Belarra said in January.
– Energy Minister Teresa Ribera has had a running battle with Iberdrola (IBE.MC) Executive Chairman Ignacio Sanchez Galan. She said comments by Galan that Spaniards who opted for regulated energy bills were “idiots” had caused “deep embarrassment” in her. “I don’t think it’s very smart for a businessman to call his customers idiots, especially in circumstances such as these,” she said. When Galan said he opposed Spain’s proposal to change its energy market pricing mechanism, she accused him of only defending Iberdrola shareholders’ interests.

SPACE
This is the spectacular fireball that flashed across the skies of southern Spain this morning: Travelling at 67 thousand kilometres per hour and glowing as bright as the Moon, it was recorded at 2.07am this Tuesday, 21 March. The event was generated by a rock (a meteoroid) from a comet that hit the atmosphere at about 67,000 km/h. The fireball overflew the province of Sevilla (Spain). It began at an altitude of about 91 km over Paradas (province of Sevilla), moved northeast, and ended at a height of around 36 km over Villanueva del Rey (province of Sevilla). Source & Video Link

Japanese Probe Hayabusa II, Photos of Asteroid Ryugu, space rock that contains RNA precursor molecules :
– This asteroid is a blackish sphere about 900 meters in diameter that orbits between Mars and Earth at a minimum distance of almost 100,000 km. For scientists, it is like a time capsule that has been roaming and intact since the origins of the solar system, 4.5 billion years ago.
– Its predecessor Hayabusa 1 had already done something similar, but the amount of land torn from its asteroid , Itokawa, was very little. Arriving at Ryugu, the Hayabusa 2 not only collected dirt from the surface, but also fired projectiles at Ryugu, exposing its innards and taking samples from within. Photos: JAXA.

FINANCIAL
Why buying a Rolex may be a better investment than stock:
– According to a recent study by Boston Consulting Group (BCG), the second-hand market for models from the three largest brands (Rolex, Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet) rose at an annual rate of 20% from August 2018 to January 2023. That’s despite the market slowdown triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic. During that same period, the US S&P 500 stock index rose only 8%.
– And as the market grows, new investors are entering the fray. Preowned watch sales reached $22 billion in 2021, accounting for nearly one-third of the overall $75 billion luxury watch market. “The secondhand watch market once evoked images of back alley deals and discounts, with dubious authenticity and a high risk of fakes and fraud. Today’s market is transparent, fueled by online information sharing, supported by authentication services, and composed of knowledgeable buyers and established sellers,” the report states.

CULTURE
City of Malaga medal awarded to Axarquía philosopher María Zambrano:
– The Vélez-Málaga born philosopher, poet and thinker María Zambrano (born Vélez-Málaga, 22 April 1904, died Madrid, 6 February 1991) was awarded a posthumous medal of the City of Malaga award and named ‘favourite daughter’ of the city in a ceremony which took place at Malaga city hall on Monday 20 March.
– More than a decade has passed since Malaga city hall and Vélez-Málaga town hall approved an institutional motion in May 2012, signed by all the political parties, to grant this distinction to María Zambrano.
– It was hoped that the posthumous title would be awarded on the 30th anniversary of her death, in 2021. However, it finally happened on Monday when she became only the eighth woman to be recognised by Malaga City Council since 1951, compared to more than fifty such distinctions awarded to men.
– During Monday’s ceremony, which was attended by representatives from Malaga city and Vélez-Málaga, mayor of Malaga, Francisco de la Torre talked of the 45 years Zambrano spent in exile from the Civil War until her return to Spain in 1984 when Spain had returned to democracy. In 1981 she received the Prince of Asturias Award, and in 1988 she would be awarded the Cervantes Prize in 1988.

Scratched EV battery? Your insurer may have to junk the whole car: For many electric vehicles, there is no way to repair or assess even slightly damaged battery packs after accidents, forcing insurance companies to write off cars with few miles – leading to higher premiums and undercutting gains from going electric. And now those battery packs are piling up in scrapyards in some countries, a previously unreported and expensive gap in what was supposed to be a “circular economy.” “We’re buying electric cars for sustainability reasons,” said Matthew Avery, research director at automotive risk intelligence company Thatcham Research. “But an EV isn’t very sustainable if you’ve got to throw the battery away after a minor collision.” Full article: https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/scratched-ev-battery-your-insurer-may-have-junk-whole-car-2023-03-20/
