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
EU agrees to extend Spain-Portugal gas price cap until end-December: The European Union has agreed to extend a price cap set on natural gas used for power generation in Spain and Portugal until Dec. 31, Spanish Energy Minister Teresa Ribera said on Tuesday. “This tool allows to keep protecting Spanish and Portuguese consumers until the end of the year,” Ribera told reporters in Brussels. The Commission still needs to make the decision official but has issued an explicit support, she said.
Ribera said that as current gas prices are below the cap, the mechanism is not applied. “Were natural gas prices to rise again, we would manage to contain electricity prices at a reasonable level that would not depend on the price of natural gas,” she said. The mechanism was set to expire on May 31. Full article

This is how the new V-16 emergency beacons work, that will replace hazard warning triangles in Spain:
– Since the start of 2023 the use of V-16 emergency warning beacons on vehicles in Spain has been approved by Spain’s traffic authority, the Directorate-General for Traffic (DGT). Two types of beacons are now legal: analogue and ‘connected.’
– A ‘connected’ device means that other drivers are not only alerted to a problem by a flashing light, but the DGT is also alerted virtually. The connected V-16 lights are already a legal replacement for hazard warning triangles and will be mandatory from 1 January 2026. Analogue warning lights, which have been on the market for several years, and triangles can only be used until 31 December 2025.

Fisheries inspectors go on strike Tuesday in all ports of Spain: {Translation, summary}
– Fisheries inspectors, in charge of controlling that fishing activities at sea and in port are carried out in accordance with regulations and avoid, for example, the capture of prohibited species, have called a general strike for this Tuesday in all fishing ports to protest against the government’s intention to impose changes in their working conditions, which imply 24-hour daily availability, according to CSIF in a press release.
– Specifically, the 167 inspectors are demanding a specific salary supplement in exchange for full availability, while the government has limited itself to offering a productivity supplement that is not enough in total and at best not even enough to match the annual productivity that an average inspector received 13 years ago.
– CSIF has described the remuneration proposal as “unacceptable”, not only because “it is insufficient” to repair the loss of purchasing power of the collective in the last decade, but also because the need of the Administration for inspectors to adapt their activity to that of a sector that operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This is intrinsic to the fisheries inspection and should not be subject to productivity incentives, but be remunerated through the specific complement, as happens in other groups of civil servants of the State that work around the clock.

ANDALUCIA
29 Andalusians died from euthanasia last year: {Translation, summary}
-A total of 29 Andalusians died by euthanasia last year. This is the balance reported on Tuesday by Juanma Moreno’s government on the requests made by citizens in 2022 under the Euthanasia Law implemented by the central government.
– Most of the requests for assisted death were made in Malaga. In this province there were 18 requests. This was followed by Seville and Granada, with eight each; seven in Cadiz; five in Huelva; three in Almeria; and two in Huelva. Most of the requests for euthanasia were made by men – 32 compared to 20 women, adds the report presented by the Andalusian government.
– According to the Junta, most of the illnesses that gave rise to the request for euthanasia are cancer, neurodegenerative processes and “complex multi-pathologies”. Moreover, the process is usually initiated in the primary care setting, i.e. the family doctor is consulted first.
– The euthanasia process does not always run its course. There are at least three cases where the patient has asked for the request to be stopped. In addition, on two occasions those who did go ahead donated their organs.
– The report also shows that the number of professionals who have made use of conscientious objection is 803, of which 468 are in primary care and 335 in hospital care. By provinces, 29 professionals in Almeria, 84 in Cadiz, 154 in Cordoba, 45 in Granada, 131 in Huelva, 32 in Jaen, 144 in Malaga and 184 in Seville have claimed conscientious objection.
– The commission, which held 24 meetings during the period in question and issued 33 reports on queries submitted from different areas of the Andalusian Public Health System and from private associations or entities, received 21 complaints, of which four were resolved favourably, 16 were resolved unfavourably and in one case the patient died before the resolution was reached.

ANTEQUERA
The Roman villa of Antequera can be visited this summer: {Translation, summary}
– Antequera will incorporate a new and important tourist resource from next summer, since by then it is expected to be possible to visit the Roman villa which is currently being restored.
– At present, the columns, mosaics and walls of the houses that made up this settlement can already be seen, of which only 20% of the more than 6,000 square metres that it is estimated to occupy have been excavated. However, the experts who are directing the archaeological work consider that the space that visitors will be able to see is “strategic” and very special, as the characteristics of this villa mean that in order to see something similar you would have to travel all the way to Italy.
– They emphasised that it is the only suburban villa in Betica that can be visited, which offers a very special feature as its architecture is terraced. Part of the baths, garden areas and the remains of the houses that have been preserved, including the mosaics that were remodelled in the 4th century A.D., although the villa dates back to the 1st century B.C., will be on display.

GIBRALTAR
The decline of Llanito- Gibraltar struggles to preserve its singular linguistic identity:
– The Gibraltarian writer Mark Sánchez has been living in the UK for 30 years. On a recent day, walking down Oxford Street in London, he heard an oddly familiar-sounding phrase among the mostly English murmur: “¡Qué frío hace! ¿No dijeron ayer en la television que hoy it was going to be sunny?” Upon hearing the combination of English and Spanish words spoken with a British-Andalusian accent, Sánchez knew straight away that he was in the presence of residents of his sorely missed Gibraltar.
– “Llanito is very important to us because it is something that defines who we are and how we recognize ourselves,” explains Sánchez. Although paradoxically everyone says they appreciate it, this local version of Spanglish with a British-Andalusian accent is gradually fading on The Rock as young people abandon the use of Spanish. The loss of bilingualism is already being perceived as a social problem here, although the government has promised to actively promote its recovery.

French PM agrees to talks with union leaders as 740,000 protest pension reform: After a tenth day of nationwide protests against pension reforms, French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne has offered to meet leaders from eight unions for talks early next week. Hundreds of thousands of people took part in Tuesday’s strikes and protests across France, nearly two weeks after French President Emmanuel Macron forced an unpopular pension reform through parliament. The government estimated that 740,000 people participated Tuesday’s demonstrations – and unions put the figure at 2 million – making the protests significantly smaller than the nationwide mobilisation last Thursday when 1.09 million protested nationwide, according to the government. There were also significantly fewer violent clashes reported. Full article: https://www.france24.com/en/france/20230328-live-french-anti-pension-reform-protesters-stage-tenth-day-of-strikes
USA
Push in states for $20 minimum wage as inflation persists:
– Just years after labor activists persuaded a handful of states to raise their minimum wage to $15 per hour, workers initially thrilled with the pay bump are finding their hard-won gains erased by inflation.
– New York, California and Massachusetts are among states where pro-labor forces are now pushing proposals that, if approved, would boost minimum wages to $20 or more in the coming years. Inflation has meant that something that cost $15 in 2012 — when labor activists adopted the “Fight for $15″ slogan in a push for wage hikes — would probably cost almost $20 today, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. But opponents to the wage hikes say they can be detrimental to small businesses, which already took a major hit during the coronavirus pandemic.

Health alert in Europe due to the presence of carcinogenic and genotoxic nitrosamines in various foods: {Translation}
– The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has assessed the risk to public health associated with the presence of nitrosamines in certain foods and has issued a notice that there are ten nitrosamines present in such foods that may be carcinogenic. and genotoxic, since they can damage DNA. These are compounds that can form in food during its preparation or transformation and that undoubtedly pose a major public health problem.
– “Our assessment concludes that the level of exposure to nitrosamines in food poses a health problem for all age groups of the EU population,” said Dr Dieter Schrenk, Chairman of the Technical Committee on Contaminants of the Food chain. Likewise, the expert added that “based on animal studies, we consider that the incidence of liver tumors in rodents is the most harmful effect on health.”
– In what foods have they been detected? “To ensure a high level of consumer protection, in our risk assessment we developed the worst case scenario. We assumed that all nitrosamines in food had the same potential to cause cancer in people as the most harmful nitrosamine, although this It’s unlikely,” says Dr. Schrenk.
– These compounds have been detected in cured meat products, processed fish, cocoa, beer, and other alcoholic beverages . “The most important food group contributing to nitrosamine exposure is meat and meat products,” they warn. Likewise, these substances may be present in other products such as “processed vegetables, cereals, milk and dairy products, or fermented foods, in brine or spices.”
– And what will happen now? After this review, the EFSA opinion will be shared with the European Commission to discuss with the authorities of each country the necessary risk management measures.
