SPAIN
The King’s speech- asks politicians for “a solid and united Spain, without divisions or confrontations”: {Translation, summary}
– The King’s first major speech after the pacts of Pedro Sánchez and Carles Puigdemont has been a plea for understanding, cohesion and unity, along with a fierce defence of the Constitution, without direct mention of amnesty. “Our obligation, the obligation of all the institutions, is to bequeath to the youngest Spaniards a solid and united Spain, without divisions or confrontations”, said the Monarch in Congress before the Government, deputies and senators during the opening of the new legislature, the 15th and the one that begins with the deepest political and social division of those that have begun during the reign of King Felipe.
– In this context, the Monarch wanted to vindicate the 1978 pact as the moment in which Spain “reached its best expression in mutual understanding without impositions or exclusions”, and reminded the Government, deputies and senators of their “obligation to carry out the constitutional functions entrusted to them, always seeking the common good of all Spaniards”.
– This task, he told them, “is, unequivocally, the return due to the trust granted by the citizens” since “the magnitude of the challenges we face demands -from all of us- a great responsibility. The Spanish people deserve it and the exercise of their representation demands it”, he urged them.
– At a time when the PSOE and Junts pacts are testing constitutional limits and questioning the separation of powers, the King defended the validity of the Magna Carta, stressing that its values “are not anchored in the past and must be permanently projected into the future”.
– “We must honour its spirit, respect it and comply with it, to make effective the definition of Spain as a Social and Democratic State of Law”, he added, before remarking that these are the “three essential, inseparable and inseparable pillars of the same historical and political reality, which is Spain, and which guarantee our collective coexistence”.

Exiled leader of the Junts, Carles Puigdemont, threatens Sanchez & PSOE that he will vote with the PP “if there is not enough progress” in fulfilling of deals Sanchez made to obtain investiture votes- “I could even reach an agreement with the PP to overthrow the government of Socialist Pedro Sánchez with a motion of censure”: {Translation, summary}
– The former Catalan president and leader of Junts, Carles Puigdemont {pic}, has warned that if “there is not enough progress” in their agreements with the PSOE, his party could add its votes to those of the Popular Party in the Congress of Deputies to vote against laws such as the state budget.
– “We could vote with the PP to overturn the budget or for a resolution on Israel, where our position is actually more aligned” with that of the party headed by Alberto Núñez Feijóo, Puigdemont told ‘Politico’ during the ceremony held last night by this medium to unveil its list of the ’28 most influential personalities’ in Europe in 2024, in which the Catalan appears in second place among the nine ‘disruptors’.
– As reported by this newspaper on Wednesday, Puigdemont told the president of the European People’s Party (EPP) and leader of that group in the European Parliament, Manfred Weber, last night that he could even reach an agreement with the PP to overthrow the government of Socialist Pedro Sánchez in the middle of its mandate with a motion of censure.

ANDALUCÍA
Spain’s national government and Junta de Andalucía strike 1.4 billion deal to help protect endangered Doñana National Park wetlands:
– The agreement puts an end to two years of political negotiations and promises to compensate affected farmers 100,000 euros per hectare if they return their land to nature or grow crops that do not need irrigating.
– The deal was required after the Junta proposed controversial plans to legalise more use of water for irrigation from an area close to the famous protected wetlands, {which received strong opposition}. The national park is threatened by climate change and illegal irrigation and is drying it out at an alarming rate. Photo: wiki.it.

The Autonomous Police is “at risk of collapse” due to lack of personnel: {Translation, summary}
– The unit attached to the National Police of the Junta de Andalucía, popularly known as the Autonomous Police, is clearly “at risk of collapse” due to a lack of personnel. Currently, the catalogue of jobs establishes that there should be 724 police officers for this unit in the whole community, however, there are currently around 380. In other words, only 52% of the staffing is covered. The understaffing situation has been common throughout the community for years.

Is History Repeating? Is An Independent Andalucia Coming?: {DigameXtra}
– In 1977 the concept of the autonomous community structure of Spain’s provinces was being formally developed; it would be officially created the following year. Initially, autonomy was only proposed for Catalonia, the Basque Country and Galicia. Andalucia soon demanded the same treatment, which resulted in the famous Andalucia-wide protest of December 4th, 1977 {upper pic}.
– During these protests there was an incident that changed the tone of the demonstrations since it ended with the death of García Caparrós. This young man, only 18 years old, joined the people of Malaga who were asking for autonomy for Andalucia and since the Andalucian flag was not flying in the Provincial Council, Caparrós climbed to the balcony of the Institution to place the flag on the mast, and at that moment the police shot and killed the unarmed man who was posing no threat to anyone but himself. If any of the public was not supporting the protest, after this murder, most soon came on board. The protestors won this time. The first elections to the Parliament of Andalusia took place on May 23, 1982.
– Now it’s 2023, and the same players, Catalonia, the Basque Country and Galicia, no longer satisfied with autonomy, are demanding independence. Not only that, they are demanding the forgiveness of tens of billions of euros of public debt. And guess what? Now Andalucia is demanding the same treatment, again. Will that include independence? I haven’t seen Andalucian independence specifically mentioned by a major figure in the press recently. However, here in the land of anarquistas, it has been discussed in the shadows since the 1870’s “Mano Negra Affair” emerged, a scandal involving a secret organized Andalucian anarchist movement, who’s activities resulted in the execution of four alleged members of the Black Hand in Jerez in 1892 {lower pic}.

President of Andalucia, Juanma Moreno, calls for people to take to the streets- “An Andalucian deserves the same as a Catalan”: {Translation, summary}
– There are some prime political points that will drive the next four years of legislature, and Juanma Moreno, the Andalusian president, has cited several in this latest speech. Two mainstays that will last four years: confrontation with the central government, with some backwaters such as Doñana, and grievance with respect to Catalonia.
– Two new points of focus emerged in the speech:
“The Andalusians deserve the same as the Catalans”.
“Can you imagine what we could do with the 50,000 million euros that have been agreed for Catalonia alone?
– The President of the Junta, Juanma Moreno, has opened the State of the Community Debate with a one hour and 38 minutes speech in which he has admitted his deep concern about the SAS waiting lists, which is the underlying problem that can drag the legislature, and in which he has opened fire against the national legislature that now begins with the Government’s agreement with the two Catalan pro-independence parties and the proposal of a special funding for Catalonia. For Moreno, “Andalusians once again have a historic obligation to our country to defend equality”. He referred to the demonstrations of 4 December 1977, when hundreds of thousands of Andalusians took to the streets to demand a Statute of Autonomy, like the one planned only for Catalonia, the Basque Country and Galicia.
– Juanma Moreno will participate this Sunday, December 3, the eve of the commemoration of the Andalucia autonomy protests of 4 Dec 1977, in a demonstration called by various associations against the amnesty and the agreements with Catalonia.

Andalucia bans the sale of energy drinks and vapes to minors and limits use of mobile phones in classrooms: {Translation, summary}
– The president of the Junta, Juanma Moreno, announced on Wednesday that the “use of mobile devices” in Andalucian classrooms will be limited, in conjunction with the educational community, and the sale of energy drinks and vapes to minors will be banned.
– The measure on the limitation of mobile phones is part of the concern expressed by the president about the “increase in violence among young people and adolescents”, so that Andalucia has to be alert to new realities that are putting our minors at serious risk.
– In this sense, he welcomed the initiative of the Working Group created in the Andalusian Chamber of Deputies on the protection of minors from access to pornography on the Internet. “We have to take firm steps to respond to the concerns of families and society as a whole,” he said.
– Likewise, with regard to the ban on the sale of energy drinks and vapes to minors, Moreno said that it is essential to take measures to protect the health of children and adolescents.
– For this reason, the Junta will draw up a Plan for the Prevention of Addictions in Children and Adolescents, which will begin in 2024 with restrictions to counter youth addictions to mobile phones, energy drinks, cannabis and vapes. He indicated that these are proposals that professionals and parents have been calling for for some time.

MALAGA PROVINCE
Modest rains forecast for Malaga province, not enough to relieve the drought:
– The weather front will sweep from west to east, with a trough that will bring precipitation to the area, according to the director of Spain’s met office, Aemet, in Malaga, Jesús Riesco.
– Late this Wednesday evening light rain is forecast to fall in the Serranía de Ronda. On Thursday, more substantial showers are forecast for inland areas, again especially in the Ronda region. On Friday, in the first half of the day, the showers are expected to be widespread and moderate.
“It will rain from the middle of Thursday to the middle of Friday, but it will not rain out of the ordinary; it is a typical cold front,” the Aemet director said. No precipitation is expected on Saturday and Sunday and the forecast for next week is very changeable.
– The expected rainfall will provide some relief for crops, but will have a negligible impact on the drought, after a very dry November. In fact, only the showers forecast for 30 November will prevent the month from reaching zero rainfall at a provincial level, which is unusual. In Malaga city rainfall could remain at zero for the month which is typically considered the second wettest of the year. December is, historically, the wettest month in Malaga but, for the medium term, there is no sign of any change to the current situation.

A network falls in Malaga that ‘sneaked’ fake 50 euro bills in sales of used products: {Translation, summary}
– The National Police have dismantled in the province of Malaga a network dedicated to the large-scale distribution of counterfeit 50 euro banknotes, which were introduced into the legal financial market by taking advantage of transactions involving the purchase and sale of second-hand goods between private individuals.
– These are the best counterfeit 50-euro notes in existence today, according to experts in the field, and the agents have been able to seize 7,550 euros in counterfeit currency – a total of 141 50-euro notes and one 500-euro note, according to the police in a statement.
– The investigation began in Malaga following several complaints that had the same common denominator: the use of counterfeit 50-euro notes in transactions involving the purchase and sale of used goods between private individuals and, to a lesser extent, through the payment of food orders and VTC vehicle service payments.

FINANCIAL
The Euribor suffers its biggest monthly fall in three years although the average mortgage will rise by almost 100 euros with the November review: {Translation, summary}
– The pressure of the Euribor on mortgagors is easing, although it does not cease. With just over 24 hours to go until the end of November, everything suggests that the benchmark index used to calculate the interest on the vast majority of variable-rate mortgages in Spain will close the month slightly above 4% after experiencing its biggest monthly fall in more than three years. Even so, those who review their monthly payment with this latest figure will have to face a rise of almost 100 euros in the case of the average mortgage.
– Despite the drop, mortgage repayments updated with the November figure will rise, as the index is higher than the 2.828% recorded a year ago. For an average loan of 150,000 euros at 30 years and with a spread of 0.99%, the update will increase the monthly payment from 691.35 to 790.81 euros, which will mean an average increase of 99.45 euros per month. In the case of a mortgage of 300,000 euros with the same conditions, the increase would reach 198.91 euros, going from 1,382.7 to 1,581.61 euros.
