Contradictory Policies– Despite continuing to increase fuel purchases from Russia, Sánchez insists on putting pressure on Russia by approving a new sanctions package: {Trans, summary}
– Pedro Sánchez called for the European Union to approve a twentieth package of sanctions against Russia, including heavier sanctions on fuel exports, saying stronger economic pressure is needed alongside continued military support for Ukraine. He said Europe must remain united, prepare for negotiations with security guarantees when conditions allow, and maintain a common position. Sánchez argued the new sanctions are part of efforts to achieve a just peace and a credible ceasefire.
– “We are strengthening military support, increasing economic pressure on Russia and preparing for negotiations with security guarantees. Europe must have its own voice on the path towards a just peace,” Sánchez said in a message on X, according to Europa Press.
– {Sánchez’s call for a new package of sanctions to increase economic pressure on Russia contradicts Spain’s continued purchases of Russian energy. Although Spain supports tougher sanctions politically, it remains one of the European Union’s largest importers of Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG). So basically, Sánchez is forcing up the price of Russian fuel with added sanctions, while increasingly buying more! SNAFU! -Ed.} Source, Spanish: https://www.teleprensa.com/articulo/nacional-3/sanchez-insiste-ofrecer-apoyo-militar-ucrania-ejercer-presion-rusia-aprobando-nuevo-paquete-sanciones/202607132032262465071.html

The Supreme Court allows admission of foreigners even if they have criminal records: {Trans, summary}
– The Supreme Court has upheld the general structure of Spain’s new immigration regulations, but has removed several restrictions affecting migrants with criminal records. The ruling ends automatic refusals of certain residence permits solely because an applicant has previous convictions. Authorities must now assess each case individually, particularly where protected family rights or European citizenship issues are involved.
– The ruling therefore represents a relaxation of previous restrictions, giving some applicants with criminal backgrounds a better opportunity to regularise their status while still allowing authorities to consider relevant factors in each case.

Is it legal to record the police or the Civil Guard in Spain? When can you do it and when can you be penalized?: {Trans, summary}
– Recording the Police or Guardia Civil in a public place is not generally illegal in Spain, despite the widespread belief that it is prohibited. The Constitutional Court has established that simply taking images is not enough to justify a penalty.
– However, there are limits. Recordings must not interfere with police work, obstruct officers or put an operation at risk. Problems may arise from how the images are later used, especially if they reveal officers’ identities, locations or compromise an ongoing intervention. The Law on Citizen Security, known as the Gag Law, considers the unauthorised use of officers’ personal or professional data a serious offence when it may affect their safety or the success of an operation.
– Citizens wishing to record police activity should keep a safe distance, avoid interference and follow instructions from officers. The legality depends not only on recording, but also on responsible use of the material, blocking certain privacy violations in the image: faces, badges, vehicle licence plates, etc. Source, Spanish: https://www.larazon.es/espana/legal-grabar-policia-guardia-civil-espana-estos-son-limites-cuando-pueden-sancionarte_202607136a54c270c0b5fb431c52bb84.html
MALAGA PROVINCE
A diamond factory backed by Leonardo DiCaprio withdraws from Malaga due to the “electrical collapse” and lack of power-grid resources: {Trans, summary}
– Another company cancels a move to Malaga, where both the Tech Park, and the Industrial Park, have had occupation contracts cancelled in past months for lack of sufficient electricity supplies.
– A failed investment in Malaga highlights the city’s energy problem. Diamond Foundry, an American company dedicated to manufacturing synthetic diamonds for high-performance chips, has abandoned a €1 billion investment due to “the saturation of the electrical grid.”
– The monocrystalline diamond company, founded in 2012 and backed by actor Leonardo DiCaprio – star of a film that exposed the dark side of diamond mining in Africa – already has a project in Trujillo and, according to reports, has now decided to abandon Malaga in order to set up shop in Zaragoza and continue developing a technology that involves manufacturing chips based on artificial diamonds.
– According to Romera, director of the Málaga Tech Park, “the company requested 5 MW of power and was only given 1 MW. They left because of the electricity situation in Malaga. Electricity is a very serious issue.”

Moreno announces that the Los Gallardos forest fire is now under control: {Trans, summary}
– The president of the Junta de Andalucía, Juanma Moreno, announced this Monday afternoon that the forest fire declared last Thursday in Los Gallardos (Almería), in which at least 13 people have died, is now “controlled”.
– Moreno began by announcing “the fire is now technically considered controlled”, which this past Sunday was considered “stabilized”, which “means that we have made progress, fortunately”, during the day in the work against the fire, “beyond some small flare-ups” that have occurred.
– The president has specified that “there is an Infoca brigade that is going to wait to cool the ground”, although he has stressed that “the fire no longer presents a threat as such, since the weather conditions” expected for “the next hours are going to be positive, especially in terms of humidity”, which is expected to be “almost 90%, which will help us enormously to cool the area and, therefore, prevent it from becoming active again”, according to Moreno.

MIDDLE EAST
Trump reimposes US blockade and demands 20% Hormuz shipping fee:
– Trump declared the US would collect a 20% fee on all Hormuz cargo as “Guardian of the Strait,” flipping the script on Iran’s own toll demands, while US forces struck dozens of targets in Iran and the IRGC hit Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait and Oman in the biggest exchange since the April ceasefire. US President Donald Trump declared the return of a naval blockade on Iranian ports on Monday, saying Washington would impose hefty fees on ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz as fighting once again flared over the vital waterway.
– In a counter to Trump, Iran’s military command insisted it would not allow the US to “interfere” in the key conduit for oil and gas, while also warning its Gulf neighbours – who have borne the brunt of Tehran’s attacks – against cooperating with Washington.
– The competing claims came as the two sides traded attacks of a scale unseen since an April ceasefire. The US military said it hit dozens of targets on Monday, while Iran’s IRGC announced new strikes in response on Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait and Oman.

CONSUMER INFO
Brussels is now targeting instant coffee and threatening to drive up its price: {Trans, summary}
– Brussels has followed through on its threats and included instant coffee in the anti-deforestation law, the regulation that requires companies to prove that the raw materials they sell in the European Union do not come from deforested areas and which has already been postponed twice due to its complex implementation. In other words, instant coffee (roasted and decaffeinated coffee were already included from the beginning) will face more controls, more paperwork, and higher costs for the industry. And, as is often the case, some of these costs will likely be passed on to the consumer.
– The measure also comes at a particularly delicate time for the coffee market. In recent years, the price of the commodity has skyrocketed due to poor harvests in Brazil and Vietnam, the world’s two largest producers. Now, this scenario is compounded by a new obligation imposed by Brussels that will require companies to strengthen controls throughout their supply chain.
– Furthermore, Brussels has removed leather, bovine hides, retreaded tires, soybeans for planting, certain rubber products, and specific industrial components from the list of affected products. According to the European Commission, the aim is to reduce administrative burdens and avoid implementation problems.

CCOO of Granada denounces the “collapse” of the Motril emergency room and the “closure” of 303 beds in the province: {Trans, summary}
– CCOO claims healthcare services in Granada province have been reduced for the summer, with 303 hospital beds closed, surgical activity cut by an average of 40 per cent, and emergency services at Motril Hospital under severe pressure.
– The union says Motril’s population doubles during the holiday season, but the emergency department has only 11 doctors instead of the authorised 22, leaving staff unable to meet demand of around 300 emergency patients a day. CCOO is calling for more doctors, improved recruitment incentives and hard-to-fill status for Motril. The union also criticises increased use of private providers and claims public hospital resources are being underused.

WEST NILE VIRUS UPDATES
The Junta de Andalucía declares the municipality of Constantina (Sevilla) an area on alert for West Nile virus: {Trans, summary}
– Andalusia has declared Constantina (Seville) an alert area after mosquitoes carrying West Nile virus were detected. It is the fifth municipality with confirmed virus circulation this year, following Pulpí (Almería), Torredonjimeno (Jaén), Palomares del Río (Seville), and Benacazón (Seville), although Benacazón was not placed under alert because the detection was more than 1.5 km from residential areas.
– The current alert status mandates increased mosquito surveillance, public awareness campaigns and stronger mosquito control measures {pic} until 10 August. So far, only one mild human case has been confirmed in Andalusia, in Palomares del Río, suggesting the current public health impact remains limited despite increasing mosquito numbers in several municipalities.
