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.

Last Rat Off The Sinking Ship Attempts To Use Life Preserver He Can’t Pay For, Then Tries To Make It Sound Like A Good Thing: {Trans, summary}
– The Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, stated on Tuesday his intention to remain in office “despite all the difficulties and obstacles along the way “in order to “improve people’s lives”.
– This was stated one day after the Supreme Court sentenced former Transport Minister José Luis Ábalos to 24 years in prison, his former advisor Koldo García to 19 years, and businessman Víctor de Aldama to four and a half years for irregularities in the purchase of masks during the pandemic.
– “Today is a day to remember why it’s worthwhile to dedicate oneself to public service. To those who ask why this government wants to continue despite all the difficulties and obstacles, the answer is to improve people’s lives,” Sánchez argued at an event focused on announcing an extra allocation of 2.218 billion euros for long-term care, amidst renewed calls for his resignation from the opposition.
{Sánchez is already in trouble for misappropriating EU recovery funds to pay pensions; Congress is currently debating how to fix that scandal. He simply does not have the funds for this new long-term care plan, unless he redirects money already allotted to other projects, as he has neglected to pass a national budget since 2023. Another ridiculous ‘Royal Decree’ with King Pedro again robbing Peter to pay Paul, and he’s too afraid of failure to let Congress vote on it. -Ed.}
– The Prime Minister has announced that a royal decree-law will be approved at Tuesday’s Cabinet meeting, representing the “largest investment in long-term care in the country’s democratic history.” He stated that this decision makes Tuesday one of those days that reminds us “why it is worthwhile to dedicate ourselves to public service.”
– However, Podemos leader Ione Belarra asserted on Tuesday that Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is “no longer fit” to govern and described the current situation as unsustainable following the conviction of former Socialist minister José Luis Ábalos. “We cannot continue like this, this situation is absolutely unsustainable,” he said at a press conference in Congress, where he pointed out that the sentence against Ábalos, previously Pedro’s right-hand man, condemned to more than 24 years in prison for bribes in mask contracts, is “final”. {Actually, Ábalos’s lawyer has already stated he may seek to get the conviction overturned in the Constitutional Court or EU courts, a very expensive proposition for Ábalos, who claims he cannot afford his current legal expenses. Wonder who’s going to pay for that? -Ed.} Source, Spanish: https://www.20minutos.es/nacional/sanchez-se-reafirma-seguir-ejecutivo-pese-las-dificultades-las-piedras-camino_7005611_0.html

The Government sets the minimum age for driving electric scooters at 15 years and mandates the use of helmets: {Trans, summary}
– The Government has approved changes to the General Traffic Regulations aimed at improving protection for vulnerable road users. The reform sets a minimum age of 15 for operating personal mobility vehicles (PMVs), such as electric scooters, and makes helmet use compulsory, bringing them into line with cyclists. The reform also requires moped users to wear approved helmets rather than merely certified ones. Professional motorcycle delivery riders must wear reflective vests at all times.
– The new rules also require motorcycle and moped riders, as well as passengers, to wear protective gloves on interurban roads and closed footwear on all roads.
– The reform was approved by the Council of Ministers on Tuesday and will take effect on 1 October, except for the requirement that moped users wear approved helmets, which will come into force on 1 October 2027.
***Personal Mobility Vehicles***
– PMV users must be at least 15 years old, wear a helmet and use a reflective vest at night or in poor visibility. Delivery riders using scooters must wear both items at all times. Failure to comply may result in a €200 fine. Scooters must keep their lights switched on at all times. Outside urban areas, they may use routes separated from motor traffic, including cycle tracks and cycle lanes.
***Bicycles***
– Cyclists must wear helmets on interurban roads. Professional riders working by bicycle, such as delivery couriers, must always wear both a helmet and a reflective vest in urban areas. Breaching either requirement may result in a serious offence carrying a €200 fine.
– Motorists overtaking cyclists must reduce their speed by at least 20 km/h below the road’s speed limit. On roads with more than one lane in each direction, drivers must move fully into the adjacent lane and maintain a minimum lateral distance of 1.5 metres. In urban areas, cyclists are encouraged to ride near the centre of their lane for greater safety. Drivers travelling behind them in the same lane must leave at least five metres of space.
***Motorcycles and Mopeds***
– Motorcycle and moped riders and passengers must wear protective gloves on interurban roads and closed footwear on all roads. Non-compliance is classified as a serious offence punishable by a €200 fine. Motorcycles may use the hard shoulder during traffic congestion, provided speeds do not exceed 30 km/h and the section is properly signposted.

King Felipe VI calls for continued faith in democracy during “these dark days”: {Trans, summary}
– King Felipe VI on Wednesday launched a strong defence of democracy and international cooperation at a time marked by increasing geopolitical fragmentation, armed conflicts, and a decline in trust in institutions. During his address at the Club of Madrid’s Annual Policy Dialogue, the monarch warned of the risks of abandoning the consensus built after World War II and called for continued faith in the democratic system, “especially in these dark times.”
– The head of state warned that the current international context is testing principles that for decades were considered firmly established. In this regard, he recalled that the international community already knows the consequences of straying “from the path of reason” and appealed to everyone not to forget the lessons learned from the great conflicts of the 20th century. King Felipe VI argued that the world is experiencing an unprecedented paradox. In his view, there has never been such a high level of interdependence between countries, and yet the temptation to isolate oneself with national solutions in the face of challenges with a global dimension has never been so strong.
– The monarch pointed out that problems such as health security, the climate crisis, ocean protection, food security, and technological challenges cannot be solved from a single capital. Therefore, he advocated for strengthening international cooperation mechanisms rather than weakening them.
– Much of his speech focused on defending democracy as a tool for building consensus in a context of increasing political polarization. King Felipe VI warned of the erosion of public trust and the emergence of discourses that prioritize efficiency over democratic legitimacy or private interests over rights and freedoms. In contrast, he reaffirmed the capacity of democratic systems to generate trust, accountability, and institutional stability. “When trust has eroded,” the King noted, “it becomes even more important to preserve those mechanisms that allow for reaching agreements and guaranteeing coexistence.” Source, Spanish: https://www.vozpopuli.com/espana/politica/felipe-vi-hace-un-llamamiento-para-seguir-confiando-en-la-democracia-en-estos-dias-oscuros.html

– Andalusia recorded the highest temperatures in all of Spain last Monday, June 23, with readings exceeding 45 degrees Celsius in several locations. This situation is due to a heat wave that particularly affected the province of Jaén, where the municipality of Andújar reached a record high of 45.1 degrees Celsius.
– Andújar (Jaén) recorded the highest temperatures in the country, followed by Bailén, also in Jaén, which registered 44.2 degrees Celsius, while Montoro, in Córdoba, came in third with 43.5 degrees. These temperatures surpassed those of other municipalities in the country, such as Lleida and Quinto (Zaragoza), with 42.9 degrees, and Herrera del Duque (Badajoz), which reached 41.8 degrees.

Moreno’s Huge Flip-Flop, said there was no hurry, now wants investiture hearing ASAP: {Trans, summary}
– Juanma Moreno {pic, left} has urged Parliament President Jesús Aguirre {pic, right} to hold the investiture session as quickly as possible, claiming that Andalucía “does not have a minute to lose” because work on the 2027 budget must begin immediately.
– This marks a notable change in tone. Previously, Moreno argued that there was no rush, political negotiations should be allowed to take all the time necessary, yet he is now pressing for speed and urgency once his own re-election appears secured. The shift raises questions about whether the timetable is being driven more by political convenience than by administrative necessity.
– The urgency comes as the PP’s agreement with Vox is reportedly almost complete. With the PP holding 53 seats and Vox 15, the two parties comfortably exceed the 55-seat threshold needed for an absolute majority.

Vox says it “still” does not have an agreement with the PP in Andalucia: {Trans, summary}
– PP spokesperson Manuel Gavira has contradicted claims that a PP-Vox agreement is already complete, stating that negotiations continue and that no deal has yet been reached, despite near-daily discussions between the two parties and inaccurate announcements from the PP.
– A central theme is the dispute over timing. Gavira criticised what he described as a sudden change of attitude by the PP. He noted that the PP waited twelve days before contacting Vox after the election and previously insisted on moving slowly. Now, according to Gavira, the same party is pushing for a rapid investiture process and acting with urgency.
– Vox argues that its priority is not speed but securing what it considers a satisfactory agreement. Gavira suggested that pressure linked to the investiture timetable would not influence his party’s negotiating position. Despite the disagreement over pace, he acknowledged that talks remain constructive and indicated that any eventual agreement is likely to resemble PP-Vox arrangements already reached in other Spanish regions.

As if having hospital staff living in campers wasn’t bad enough, now they want to charge them €100/mo parking fees!: {Trans, summary}
– CCOO and hospital staff representatives in Málaga protested {pic} against the planned privatisation of parking at the Civil and Maternal and Child hospitals, demanding its immediate suspension. The demonstration, supported by workers and patients, opposes a model that turns a public service into a private business.
– Unions criticise new parking charges exceeding €1 per hour for users and around €100 per month for staff, describing this as a burden affecting both workers and patients. Protest slogans rejected the perceived commercialisation of healthcare. Environmental concerns were also raised, including the felling of 700 trees to build the new car park, replacing green areas with asphalt. CCOO warns of ongoing protests unless the concession is reversed and affordable public parking is ensured.

– A 74-year-old man was seriously injured on Tuesday after suffering an accident with a quad bike in El Morche. The accident occurred around 2:00 p.m. on C/ Santiago, when the driver lost control of the vehicle for reasons that are still unknown and are being investigated by the authorities.
– The quad bike crashed into a vehicle parked on the road. The injured man is a foreign national residing on a farm in Torrox, although no further details about his identity have been released at this time.
– As a result of the accident, the driver suffered multiple injuries and had to be initially treated by the health services that travelled to the scene of the accident. Due to the severity of his injuries, a medical helicopter was dispatched to evacuate him to a hospital. No further information has been released regarding his medical condition. The intervention of the emergency teams forced the temporary closure of the old N-340, at kilometer 280, in order to facilitate the air evacuation of the injured person.

– Shock in the tourist heart of Frigiliana after multiple people are run over this Monday afternoon on the terrace of the Virtudes Restaurant and an ice cream parlour, in the surroundings of the old town, which at that time was full of customers, with about twenty tables full of food and drink dishes.
– The event occurred at around 7.30 p.m., when a car ran over several people who were sitting on the terrace next to the road, on a platform, after knocking down two bollards, according to several citizens alerting the emergency service.

All were transferred to the Axarquía Hospital, except for the 14-year-old who was transferred to the Nerja health center.

– The Paseo de las Explanadas is one of the city’s most important and emblematic spaces, a meeting place and historic promenade, and one of Motril’s most popular recreational areas. Therefore, the City Council deemed it necessary to carry out a renovation, as the last major work had not been done since the 1980s. The aim was to achieve a significant transformation of the space, maintaining the boulevard’s original structure while introducing important improvements in accessibility, design, paving, street furniture, and landscaping.

UKRAINE WAR
Russia targets Ukrainian logistics in Zaporizhzhia amid Kyiv’s attacks on Crimea: {Trans, summary}
– Since the weekend, Russia has been carrying out a massive campaign of air strikes against bridges, truck fleets, gas stations and other Ukrainian logistical targets in Zaporizhzhia, a city in southeastern Ukraine located a few dozen kilometres from the front and which is key for the supply and movement of troops of the Kyiv forces in southern Ukraine.
– The intensification of Russian attacks in this area using drones, missiles, and guided aerial bombs coincides with increasingly devastating attacks by Ukrainian medium-range drones against Russian logistics in the occupied territories south of the city of Zaporizhzhia, in the southern part of the Donetsk region, and in Crimea, which aim to isolate the occupied peninsula from mainland Ukraine.
– The governor of the Zaporizhzhia region, Ivan Fedorov, has ordered the installation of nets over bridges to prevent drone strikes on these infrastructures. However, Russia also uses missiles and guided bombs, to which Ukraine is particularly vulnerable due to their launch method—from aircraft tens of kilometers away—and their enormous explosive power. On Saturday alone, Russian aircraft dropped a dozen bombs on Zaporizhzhia.
