Problems Getting Today’s Issue Posted: WordPress, the web hosting service of DigameXtra, is having significant problems as I write this Sunday evening on into Monday morning. It is not uncommon for them to do maintenence on Sunday nights, and this slows the site down somewhat, but it usually remains functional. Tonight I noticed more problems than a typical Sunday night. At one point the screen “blinked” and a full hour’s worth of writing was deleted, the ‘un-do’ button wouldn’t work, and my backup drafts had disappeared, so despite me having done several “save draft” clicks along the way, all that work had to be redone! Additionally, the Monday after a long holiday weekend rarely has much local news. So if a small issue was in the cards due to WordPress problems, this was a good day for it. -Ed.

News Note:
– DiarioSur.es has joined ABC.es in hiding almost all of their content behind paywalls. This includes important community notices and public health alerts. This is totally unacceptable. Their business charters clearly outline their duty and responsibility to support informing the community on critical issues. These companies profit from public exposure, with the insane amount of adverts they pack into every page, and they have an obligation to provide important public information without charging the reader a fee. Sure, they can require a paid subscription for their “premium” content. But public health and gov’t announcements must remain free to respect their community obligations. Please let them know this is unacceptable. They cannot claim themselves to be a “newspaper of record” if they charge for viewing important public announcements.
– Since readers will no longer be able to click article links to view articles articles from these sources, now being hidden behind a paywall, I am going to quit using them as news sources. I can no longer, in good conscience, provide them with thousands of DigameXtra reader’s clicks every week if the articles are blocked from view. It is bad enough for them to post and claim authorship of Artificial Intelligence created articles without labelling them as such, as the law now requires. Now they expect you to pay for content they copied for free from other sources, on pages full of ads and popups. TARFU! -Ed.
SPAIN
Does Spain have reason to be worried about Ceuta and Melilla? The Morocco-US-Israeli axis looms over the waters of the Strait: {Trans, summary}
– A Moroccan analyst writing for an Israeli digital outlet suggested that Morocco, backed by Israel and the US, could exploit tensions between Spain’s Prime Minister Sanchez and President Trump over NATO defence spending and base access during the Iran war to pursue claims over Ceuta and Melilla. The analyst stated this was his personal opinion, not an official position. He cited Spain’s “continued occupation of African territory” and its “hypocrisy” in condemning Israel while holding African enclaves.
– US conservative think tanks and a Republican congressman have recently questioned Spanish sovereignty over the two cities. However, experts doubt any short-term change. Relations between Spain and Morocco are currently claims by Spain to be good, jointly hosting the 2030 World Cup. Morocco’s primary focus, so they say, remains Western Sahara, not Ceuta or Melilla. The Israeli ambassador to Spain denied any plan to support Moroccan claims, calling Spain an ally despite political disagreements. Nonetheless, the idea now hovers over the Strait of Gibraltar amid regional turbulence.

Political Revenge of the Socialists– New AG Teresa Peramato removes the chief prosecutor of Madrid who pointed the finger at convicted previous AG García Ortiz in the trial: {Trans, summary}
– State Attorney General Teresa Peramato {pic}, a socialist appointee, has removed Madrid senior prosecutor Almudena Lastra. Lastra merely did her job by testifying honestly against former attorney general Alvaro Garcia Ortiz, leading to his conviction for leaking confidential data on Isabel Diaz Ayuso’s partner.
– Peramato has now promoted two figures linked to Garcia Ortiz: Pilar Rodriguez, who was himself under investigation in the same case, and Pilar Fernandez, Garcia Ortiz’s own wife. These actions appear politically motivated, rewarding loyalists while punishing a prosecutor who upheld the rule of law against a senior socialist official. Lastra’s removal for giving testimony under oath sets a dangerous precedent. The promotions disregard merit and suggest retaliation against those who exposed wrongdoing. This reshuffle serves political gain rather than justice.

A ship carrying huge cocaine shipment, between 30 and 45 tons, has been transferred to Las Palmas: {Trans, summary}
– The Spanish Civil Guard has intercepted a Comoros-flagged vessel in the Atlantic Ocean carrying between 30 and 45 tonnes of cocaine, the largest drug seizure ever recorded by Spain in international waters. {So Spain can intercept ships suspected of smuggling in international waters, but says Israel can’t intercept flotilla ships in international waters, suspected of smuggling intended to interfere in wars? Sounds like a double standard. -Ed.} The ship, named Arconian, was moved to the naval base of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria after being captured on Friday. It had left Freetown, Sierra Leone, on 22 April and was reportedly heading to Benghazi, Libya.

Spanish Civil Society (SCE), the platform that coordinates more than 150 civil associations, has called for a “March for Dignity” on Saturday, May 23, to demand the resignation of the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez: {Trans, summary}
– Spanish Civil Society, a platform of more than 150 associations, has called a “March for Dignity” on 23 May in Madrid to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez. The demonstration will begin at Columbus Square at 10:30 and proceed to the Moncloa Arch under the slogan “Sanchez, resign now!” The organisers cite what they describe as a disaster in institutional respect, rule of law, the economy, diplomacy, security, coexistence and ethics. The platform invites all associations, political parties and citizens to join, each with their own banners and reasons for demanding resignation. A brief statement and the national anthem will conclude the march. Spanish Civil Society includes groups focused on constitutional order, the rule of law, Christian Humanism, Spanish national heritage, and sectoral interests such as businesses and the self-employed.

– Partial stoppages will occur between May 11 and 14 in the following slots: from 7:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., from 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. and from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Added to this is a day of total strike on May 15, during all Metro service hours, from 6:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Source, Spanish: https://www.eldebate.com/espana/andalucia/20260503/metro…
EUROPE
Trump deepens his rift with Europe by asserting that the US will withdraw “much more than 5,000” troops from Germany: {Trans, summary}
– US President Donald Trump announced plans to withdraw over 5,000 American troops from Germany, criticising European allies for lacking support in the war against Iran. Senior Pentagon officials had already disclosed an order from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to remove approximately 5,000 soldiers, citing operational needs. The US maintains over 36,000 active troops across German bases.
– German Chancellor Friedrich Merz made unsubstantiated propaganda claims to local German media that Trump had been humiliated by Tehran during negotiations: “The Iranians are obviously very skilled at negotiating, or rather, at not negotiating, letting the Americans travel to Islamabad and then leave again without any result.” & “An entire nation is being humiliated by the Iranian leadership, especially by these so-called Revolutionary Guards.”
– Trump responded by warning Merz to focus on fixing Germany’s domestic issues and ending the Ukraine war rather than interfering with Iran. Source, Spanish: https://www.20minutos.es/internacional/trump-agrava…
MIDDLE EAST
Israeli court extends for two days the detention of the Spanish and Brazilian activists from the latest Palestine flotilla: {Trans, summary}
– An Israeli court extended by two days the detention of Palestinian-Spanish activist Saif Abukeshek and Brazilian Thiago Ávila from the Global Sumud Flotilla. The prosecution requested four days, citing alleged crimes including collaboration with the enemy and belonging to a terrorist organisation. Adalah, their legal centre, called these charges retaliatory against humanitarian activists and argued the process has irregularities with no legal basis for applying such crimes to foreigners in international waters. The activists have begun a hunger strike.
– Adalah reported alleged mistreatment: Ávila was allegedly beaten and dragged, while Abukeshek was allegedly left bound and blindfolded, causing bruises. Neither had legal representation during interrogations. Israel’s Foreign Ministry claims both have ties to the PFLP. Spain and Brazil demanded their immediate release.

Trump concludes that the new Iranian peace proposal is “unacceptable”: {Trans, summary}
– US President Donald Trump told Israeli media outlet Kan News that Iran’s latest cease-fire proposal, mediated by Pakistan, was “unacceptable” after studying it. The Iranian proposal reportedly includes a 14-point, three-phase plan over 30 days, beginning with reopening the Strait of Hormuz and ending with a new regional security system. However, Iran refuses to meet key US demands, including renouncing uranium enrichment and dismantling its nuclear facilities. Trump’s rejection underscores continued deadlock in ending the conflict that began on 28 February. Source, Spanish: https://www.larazon.es/internacional/trump-concluye…

PETS
Are pets being over-vaccinated? Experts warn of the risks that could affect their immune system: {Trans, summary}
– In Spain, only the rabies vaccine is legally mandatory for pets. Veterinarian Victor Algra warns that over-vaccination can overstimulate animals’ immune systems. He advises following the principle of minimum necessary treatment.
– Vaccines for parvovirus, distemper and panleucopenia generate long-lasting immunity, so antibody titration testing should precede booster shots to avoid unnecessary vaccination. However, testing is more expensive and labour-intensive than simply vaccinating annually, so unnecessary and potentially dangerous shots are common despite the risks.
– The leptospira vaccine, using inactivated bacteria, produces only a low immunity and may require yearly boosters. For geriatric pets, testing is particularly useful due to age-related immune deterioration. While guardians ultimately decide, Algra informs clients of testing options. Some owners still prefer annual vaccination out of habit or convenience. Source, Spanish: https://www.20minutos.es/animaleros/se-sobrevacuna…
