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 friend/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
Spanish government says housing market is not a ‘free for all’ after recent crackdown on Airbnb:
– Spain‘s government wanted to send a message last month with its crackdown on Airbnb: that the Spanish economy and its housing market are not a “free for all” that value profits over the rule of law, a minister told The Associated Press on Tuesday. The government ordered Airbnb to remove almost 66,000 holiday rentals from the platform which it said had violated local rules by failing to list license numbers, listing the wrong license number or not specifying the apartment’s owner. Airbnb is appealing the move.
– The Spanish government says the two are related: the rise of Airbnb and other short-term rental companies, and rising rents and housing costs. “Obviously there is a correlation between these two facts,” Consumer Rights Minister Pablo Bustinduy told the AP. “It’s not a linear relation, it’s not the only factor affecting it, there are many others, but it is obviously one of the elements that is contributing.”
– “Tourism is for sure a vital part of the Spanish economy. It’s a strategic and very important sector. But as in every other economic activity, it must be conducted in a sustainable way,” Bustinduy said. “It cannot jeopardize the constitutional rights of the Spanish people. Their right to housing, but also their right to well-being.” Full article: https://apnews.com/article/airbnb-spain-crackdown-tourism-9bd28bb6f3f705b62828880fb08bdf1a

The Left is eating its own again- Several partners of the Government raise their voices against the Leire Díez case: {Translation, summary:
– Left-wing government partners Podemos and ERC have jointly demanded that Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez appear before Congress to explain the controversial Leire Díez case. Díez, a socialist militant and alleged party ‘fixer,’ reportedly sought information against the Civil Guard’s Central Operative Unit (UCO), which is investigating Sánchez’s close family and top officials.
– Podemos accuses the PSOE of responding to Spain’s “police cloacas” (dirty networks) with undemocratic practices and demands Sánchez clarify his plan to end corrupt police behaviour. Podemos warns that Sánchez’s silence only deepens doubts and weakens democracy.
-Meanwhile on the Right, Junts (centre-right, Catalan nationalist blackmailers of Sanchez) has broken ranks with Sánchez by supporting the left’s call for transparency, alongside the opposition PP’s similar demand. The PP alleges Díez acted under orders from senior government figures to undermine judicial and police investigations into corruption involving the PSOE elite. The PSOE denies links to Díez but has opened an internal inquiry. Source, Spanish: https://www.20minutos.es/noticia/5718492/0/socios-sanchez-elevan-presion-piden-comparecencia-caso-leire-diez/

Dutch government collapses after far-right leader Wilders quits coalition, PM Schoof resigns hours later:
– The Dutch government collapsed on Tuesday, most likely ushering in a snap election, after anti-Muslim politician Geert Wilders quit the right-wing coalition, accusing other parties of failing to back his tougher immigration policies.
– Wilders said he had had no option but to quit the coalition.
“I proposed a plan to close the borders for asylum seekers, to send them away, to shut asylum shelters. I demanded coalition partners sign up to that, which they didn’t. That left me no choice but to withdraw my support for this government,” he told reporters. “I signed up for the strictest asylum policies, not for the demise of the Netherlands.” He said he would lead the PVV into a new election and hoped to be the next prime minister.

Ukraine Claims of 41 Destroyed Russian Bombers Overstated According to Satellite Evidence and Independent Researchers:
– Satellite imagery of a Russian air base taken shortly after Ukraine carried out a drone attack deep inside Russia over the weekend shows several strategic bombers were destroyed and badly damaged, according to three open source analysts. “Based on the debris visible, comparison to recent satellite images and released drone footage from Telegram posted to Twitter, I can see the destruction of several aircraft,” said John Ford, a research associate at the California-based James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies.
– Ukraine targeted at least four air bases across Russia using 117 unmanned aerial vehicles launched from containers close to the targets. Drone footage of the operation verified by Reuters shows several aircraft were struck in at least two locations.

Medvedev says Russia seeks victory, not compromise, in talks with Ukraine- “Everything that needs to be blown up will be blown up, and those who must be eliminated will be.”:
– Senior Russian security official Dmitry Medvedev said on Tuesday that the point of holding peace talks with Ukraine was to ensure a swift and complete Russian victory. “The Istanbul talks are not for striking a compromise peace on someone else’s delusional terms but for ensuring our swift victory and the complete destruction of the neo-Nazi regime,” the hawkish deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council said on Telegram.
– “That’s what the Russian Memorandum published yesterday is about.” Medvedev was referring to a set of Russian demands presented to Ukraine at talks in Istanbul on Monday. They included handing over more territory, becoming a neutral country, accepting limits on the size of the Ukrainian army and holding new parliamentary and presidential elections.
– At the talks, which lasted only an hour, the two sides agreed on a new prisoner-of-war swap and an exchange of 12,000 dead soldiers, but not on the ceasefire that Ukraine and its allies are pressing Russia to accept.
– Medvedev added, in an apparent response to Ukraine’s weekend strikes on Russian strategic bomber bases, that Moscow would take revenge. “Retribution is inevitable,” he said. “Our Army is pushing forward and will continue to advance. Everything that needs to be blown up will be blown up, and those who must be eliminated will be.” Full article: https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/medvedev-says-russia-seeks-victory-not-compromise-talks-with-ukraine-2025-06-03/

Big Tech vs The Greenies, Meta becomes the latest big tech company turning to nuclear power for AI needs:
– “Securing clean, reliable energy is necessary to continue advancing our AI ambitions,” said Urvi Parekh, Meta’s head of global energy. Meta has cut a 20-year deal to secure nuclear power to help meet surging demand for artificial intelligence and other computing needs at Facebook’s parent company. Investments from Meta will also expand the output of a Constellation Energy Illinois nuclear plant. The agreement announced Tuesday is just the latest in a string of tech-nuclear partnerships as the use of AI expands. Financial details of the agreement were not disclosed.
– Surging investments in small nuclear reactors comes at a time when large tech companies are facing two major demands: a need to increase their energy supply for AI and data centers, among other needs, while also trying to meet their long-term goals to significantly cut greenhouse gas emissions. Those emissions are generated, in large part, from the burning of fossil fuels like gasoline, oil and coal. Nuclear energy, while producing waste, does not emit carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases.
– Constellation, the owner of the shuttered Three Mile Island nuclear power plant, said in September that it planned to restart that reactor so tech giant Microsoft could power its data centers.
– Also last fall, Amazon said it was investing in small nuclear reactors, two days after a similar announcement by Google. Additionally, Google announced last month that it was investing in three advanced nuclear energy projects with Elementl Power.

Renfe will allow full bikes to be carried on Avant trains, eliminates the obligation to carry a cover for folding bikes, and removes the €3 supplement for Middle Distance trains: {Translation, summary}
– Renfe is introducing new, more flexible rules for transporting bicycles on its trains, effective 15 July. These changes include better signage for bicycle spaces, easier access to trains, and, for the first time, allowing complete bicycles on Avant (only) high-speed trains now, and more trains in the near future. A new “train+bike” ticket will be available, and the €3 supplement for bicycles on medium-distance trains (over 100 km) will be scrapped.
– The new regulations aim to simplify train travel with bicycles for both commuters and weekend users. New trains will feature increased bicycle capacity. The measures also include plans to install secure bicycle parking at Cercanías stations. Passengers with folding bikes will no longer need to carry them in a bag. While complete bikes will be allowed on Avant trains, other high-speed trains will maintain restrictions until upgrades are made. Electric bicycles are permitted, but electric scooters remain banned due to safety concerns pending new regulations.

Is This Stunning Censorship A Glimpse Into Our Own Future?:
– The BBC has reported on smartphones smuggled out of North Korea that are setup to spy on citizens and prevent them from using language that is not authorised by the Communist state.
– Instead of simply not allowing North Korean people to have such devices, the regime there has decided to manufacture and distribute phones as a tool for further controlling the population amid fears that freedom, in the form of South Korean culture, is encroaching.
– The BBC reporter demonstrates how the phone edits words and phrases that are are not acceptable to the North Korean government, and replaces them with language they have sanctioned. In one example, the reporter types in a South Korean slang word for “boyfriend” and the phone changes it to “comrade.” A second example shows the reporter typing in ‘South Korea’ and the phone automatically changing it to “Puppet State.”
– The phone also covertly takes a screenshot every five minutes, stores the images in a secret folder which the user cannot access, but that the North Korean authorities can scour through should they wish to do so.
– “Smartphones are now part and parcel of the way North Korea tries to indoctrinate people,” Martyn Williams, a senior fellow at the Washington DC-based Stimson Center, and an expert in North Korean technology and information, told the BBC.
