SPAIN

Socialist controlled Moncloa (President’s residence) illegally leaked the secret document of Ayuso’s boyfriend and tried to implicate Lobato: {Translation, summary}
– The Presidency of the Government is behind the leak of confidential information about Alberto González Amador that is being investigated by the Supreme Court and for which the State Attorney General, Álvaro García Ortiz, is charged. As ABC has been able to verify, a notary’s office in Madrid has had the evidence since the beginning of November, as Juan Lobato admitted to ABC this Sunday. The information of 14 March was leaked directly from the Palace of La Moncloa and Pilar Sánchez Acera {pic} was in charge of it.
– At that time Acera was the chief of staff for Óscar López, Pedro Sánchez’s cabinet director. In other words, the person who carried out the deed was the right-hand man of the president of the Government’s right-hand man. Since last September, López has been Minister for Digital Transformation and the Civil Service, a post to which he took Pilar Sánchez Acera as assistant.
– López, respecting lawyer/client privilege, refused to be the one to expose it so the Moncloa decided to leak it to the press and authorise the reproduction of González Amador’s confession. Evidently his assistant Acera, a life long socialist having come up through the Socialist Youth group before receiving official government appointments, had no such reservations.

More trouble for Begoña- The ‘whatsapp’ that proves that Moncloa’s advisor was paid with public funds while working for Begoña Gómez’s private businesses: {Translation, summary}
– Cristina Álvarez, director of programmes in the General Secretariat of the Presidency of the Government, illegally works for the private activities of Begoña Gómez, despite receiving a public salary. The documents and testimonies collected by ABC prove that Álvarez works as a personal assistant to Pedro Sánchez’s wife, who is under investigation for several crimes, including influence peddling.
– The adviser to La Moncloa has accompanied Begoña Gómez in her activities at the Complutense University of Madrid in recent years, where Gómez has directed an extraordinary chair and co-directed two master’s degrees despite lacking an official higher education qualification. Cristina Álvarez has not only requested money from companies for the private initiatives of the president’s wife, as evidenced by the e-mails submitted to the case being investigated by Judge Juan Carlos Peinado, but also worked in the day-to-day academic activities of Begoña Gómez.
– In addition to corruption in private business and influence peddling, the wife of the Prime Minister is under investigation for crimes of professional intrusion and misappropriation, precisely in relation to this project. Now Gómez additionally stands accused of misappropriating government resources for personal gain.

SAY WHAT? Central government will no longer publish what it invests in the Autonomous Communities, despite laws requiring it! – Are they hiding the unfair advantages Sanchez traded away to the separatistas up north in exchange for Investiture votes?: {Translation, summary}
– A political decision by the central government means that Spaniards in general and the regional governments in particular have lost the regulatory, reliable and updated channel that since 2009 has revealed how much the General State Administration really invests in each region. This information blackout violates the Transparency Law and impoverishes public debate. The Council for Transparency and Good Governance has spoken out against it, but the Ministry of Finance, headed by María Jesús Montero, has not reconsidered its position.
– Now, in its place, what will be published is the territorialised investment of a single ministry, that of Transport, and with sufficient delay to dilute its interest. The 2023 work is due to be published next month. There is no technical reason for this lag. Intervention was able to have the annual accounts of all ministries only four months after the end of the year, and now, with the operation being reduced to a single department, it will take more than eleven months. This newspaper sent repeated requests for information to the ministries of Montoro and Economía. Both declined to comment.
– The Transparency Law, in force since 2013, states that “only when the actions of public officials are subject to scrutiny, when citizens can know how decisions that affect them are taken, how public funds are managed, or under what criteria our institutions act, can we speak of a process in which the public authorities begin to respond to a society that is critical, demanding and that demands participation from the public authorities”.
– Socialist decrees, without a public or Congressional vote, to override long established law, denying public access to information on how taxpayer public money is being spent, is an outrage sure to attract opposition.
– {In what alternate reality did these politicians come up with this communist inspired information blackout, and how can they possibly think they will get away with it? They work for us, we pay their salaries! Yet they think they can just ignore our laws, do whatever they please, and distribute public money with no accountability, as if it were funds from a dictator’s secret coffers! -Ed.}

New EU demand for action to correct the lack of water purification in Andalucia:
{Translation}
– The European Commission has lodged a new complaint against Spain for inadequate waste water treatment, involving 92 Andalucian urban agglomerations out of 225 which do not comply with EU legislation throughout the country. Water sanitation is a recurrent problem in Spain and Andalusia is one of the most deficient regions in this task. This is the second time since 2022 that the European Commission has gone to the European Court of Justice over inadequate water sanitation in Spain, and the seventh time since 2002. The latest application, case C-581/24, is dated 3 September. This appeal may lead to a fine if there is a conviction. Andalucia pays more than one million euros per year for a sanction dating back to 2018.
– European legislation has since 1991 prescribed the correct treatment and purification of wastewater discharges. This is Directive 91/271/EEC, a regulation which obliges Member States to treat urban septic water and water from certain industrial sectors correctly. Along with the Canary Islands, Castilla-La Mancha, Extremadura and Castilla y León, Andalucia is the region with the most deficiencies in water sanitation. In this last demand, that of September, 41% of the polluting points in Spain are Andalusian, making the autonomous community a black spot.
– This European Commission resource points out that there are 92 Andalusian urban agglomerations that have not adopted the necessary measures to treat wastewater or, where appropriate, do not have adequate collection systems or treatment plants. A considerable number of the urban agglomerations mentioned above have had a water treatment system in place for years, but these systems do not work, or do so defectively. According to last year’s report by Ecologistas en Acción, almost a third of the treatment plants built and already in operation do not comply with the regulations.
– Five years of fines for Spain. Since 2018, when the Court of Justice of the EU imposed the first sanction, Spain has had to pay more than €90 million for the lack of adequate wastewater treatment. This is the reason why the Andalusian Regional Government has been paying more than 600,000 euros every six months for more than five years for the lack of treatment in the agglomeration of Alhaurín el Grande (Málaga). And there are still proceedings in progress for which the Spanish and Andalusian administrations are exposed to new sanctions.
– When asked about the works in progress to avoid the condemnation by the European courts, the Ministry for Ecological Transition did not provide a response. The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Development did respond, stating that it considers the works in ‘the municipalities that are in the European sanctioning files’ to be ‘a priority’, and that the Andalusian administration is ‘doing everything possible’.
– A ploy to avoid fines was enacted with the supposed expropriation of 200 plots of land for the Alhaurín plant. Spain and Andalusia knew that the Court of Justice of the European Union was serious when, starting in July 2018, they were charged each year an annual fine of millions of euros for non-compliance with the EU directive regulating the treatment of wastewater. Since that first infringement procedure, the deficiencies in the sanitation of Barbate (Cádiz), Matalascañas (Huelva) and Alhaurín el Grande (Málaga) are still ‘worrying’, explain sources from Ecologistas en Acción. The Malaga plant is the responsibility of the Junta de Andalucía. As this newspaper pointed out last week, the Official Gazette of the Junta de Andalucía published the terms of the expropriation of some 200 properties in the municipalities of Málaga, Cártama and Alhaurín de la Torre for the forthcoming construction of the treatment plant to avoid the sanction, yet this is a ploy. In fact, the location of the work is disputed, and no final decision on a site has been made. Source, Spanish: https://www.malagahoy.es/andalucia/nueva-demanda-ue-falta-depuracion_0_2002851439.html

TORRE DEL MAR

Torre del Mar presents its Christmas program with activities, shows and concerts for everyone: {Translation, summary}
– For the mayor ‘it is a month full of activities, concerts, parades, parades, music for everyone and novelties, the first of this year being the early switching on of the lights.
– The first event starts on the 30th of November, at 18:00 in the evening, with a children’s parade from the Plaza de la Axarquía and the official inauguration of the switch-on. On this day we will also inaugurate our traditional free amusement park in the Plaza Juan Aguilar in Torre del Mar, open every day from 16:30 in the afternoon’. He added that during the first hour of rides and until 17:30, every day, the rides will operate without music to ensure access for children with autistic spectrum disorder.
– At 19:00 hours, Atencia continued, ‘the big Christmas tree in the Plaza Juan Aguilar will be lit up, as well as the illumination of our town, which will kick off a very full calendar of events. From there we announce that there will be music, concerts, children’s shows and performances of all kinds’.
– The councillor points out that ‘once again this year we will have the giant slide, this year in the El Copo car park, which will once again be enjoyed by both children and adults who visit us and which will also start on 30 November’.
– As for the music, the mayor reported that ‘one of the highlights will be on 14 December with the event “Gasolinera Stars”, where we will have the performance of Taino de Los Chunguitos, Junco, Los Calis and Sombra y Luz. It will start at 20:00 hours in the marquee on the Paseo Marítimo’.
– The councillor continued, “on the 21st we will have a concert by the singer María Isabel.”
– ‘Nor will there be a lack of chocolatada, buñuelada, Gala de Inocentes, Minicampanadas, the Santa Claus parade, the Royal Postman or the Three Wise Men. With the aim of maintaining the Christmas atmosphere in our most commercial areas, we will install piped music, photocalls and we will have the traditional Pastoral in our streets,’ said Atencia.

Russian drones, missiles attack Ukraine’s east, south and capital:
– Russian missiles damaged residential buildings in Ukraine’s eastern city of Kharkiv and Odesa in the south, and a blizzard of drones caused temporary power cuts in Mykolaiv region and targeted the capital Kyiv, Ukrainian officials said on Monday. The overnight drone attack targeted energy infrastructure in southern region of Mykolaiv, causing power cuts while industrial facilities in the southeastern Zaporizhzhia region were also struck, their authorities said on Monday.
– Russia, which is making territorial gains in Ukraine’s east, is conducting nightly attacks on faraway cities using missiles as well as cheaply produced “suicide” drones and low-cost “decoy” drones, which tie up Ukrainian air defences.
Of 145 drones used overnight, Ukraine shot down 71 and lost track of 71 more, likely due to electronic warfare measures used against them, the air force said.
– A Russian missile attack on the northeastern city of Kharkiv injured at least 23 people and damaged over 40 buildings on Monday morning, the regional governor and national police said. Another missile attack on the southern city of Odesa also damaged residential buildings and injured 10 people, Ukraine’s interior ministry said.

Top NATO official calls on business leaders to prepare for ‘wartime scenario’:
– A top NATO military official on Monday urged businesses to be prepared for a wartime scenario and adjust their production and distribution lines accordingly, in order to be less vulnerable to blackmail from countries such as Russia and China. “If we can make sure that all crucial services and goods can be delivered no matter what, then that is a key part of our deterrence,” the chair of NATO’s military committee, Dutch Admiral Rob Bauer {pic}, said in Brussels.
– Speaking at an event of the European Policy Centre think tank, he described deterrence as going far beyond military capability alone, since all available instruments could and would be used in war. “We’re seeing that with the growing number of sabotage acts, and Europe has seen that with energy supply,” Bauer said.
– “We thought we had a deal with Gazprom, but we actually had a deal with Mr Putin. And the same goes for Chinese-owned infrastructure and goods. We actually have a deal with (Chinese President) Xi (Jinping).” Bauer noted western dependencies on supplies from China, with 60% of all rare earth materials produced and 90% processed there. He said chemical ingredients for sedatives, antibiotics, anti-inflammatories and low blood pressure medicines were also coming from China. “We are naive if we think the Communist Party will never use that power. Business leaders in Europe and America need to realise that the commercial decisions they make have strategic consequences for the security of their nation,” Bauer stressed.

Hezbollah fires about 250 rockets and other projectiles into Israel in heaviest barrage in weeks:
– Hezbollah fired about 250 rockets and other projectiles into Israel on Sunday {pic}, wounding seven people in one of the militant group’s heaviest barrages in months, in response to deadly Israeli strikes in Beirut while negotiators pressed on with cease-fire efforts to halt the all-out war. Some of the rockets reached the Tel Aviv area in the heart of Israel.
– Meanwhile, an Israeli strike on an army center killed a Lebanese soldier and wounded 18 others in the southwest between Tyre and Naqoura, Lebanon’s military said.

New rules for bank transfers approved by the European Parliament- Will require bank transfers in euros in 10 seconds without additional costs: {Translation, summary}
– The European Parliament has approved new rules to ensure that euro bank transfers are instantaneous, allowing the money to reach the recipient’s account within a maximum of 10 seconds.
– With this reform, banks and payment service providers will have to process transfers immediately, regardless of the time or day. In case the payment cannot be completed in less than 10 seconds, customers will be informed promptly and instantly.
– Payment service providers will have to implement robust fraud prevention mechanisms, as well as a system for verifying the identity of the recipient of the transfer, at no additional cost to the customer. To add an additional layer of security, customers will be able to set a maximum limit for instant transfers, which will help reduce risks in case of fraud.
– The new rules ensure that instant transfers will have no additional fees- the fees will not be higher than those for traditional transfers in euro. The text was adopted by the plenary with 599 votes in favour, 7 against and 35 abstentions.
– To comply, banks in the euro area will have nine months to implement the ability to receive instant credit transfers and 18 months to be able to send them.
