SPAIN
Vox submit a complaint to the Supreme court against the Government, Puigdemont and Otegi for “conspiracy to rebellion”: {Translation}
– The secretary general of Vox, Ignacio Garriga, announced on Monday that his party will file a complaint with the Supreme Court against members of the government, including the president, Pedro Sánchez, Carles Puigdemont and Arnaldo Otegi, among others, for “conspiracy for rebellion”.
– In a press conference at the national headquarters of Vox, Garriga explained that the complaint in question is “connected” to the lawsuit that Vox filed in 2022 against Sánchez; the second vice-president, Yolanda Díaz; the ex-minister of Justice Juan Carlos Campo; the president of ERC, Oriol Junqueras; and the table of dialogue between the Executive and the Generalitat.
– The Supreme Court at that time decided not to admit this complaint for processing, considering that “there was no basis whatsoever, minimally solid” that could link the head of the Executive with an action that sought to provoke the rupture of the unity of Spain by subverting the constitutional order.
– Vox’s idea, as Garriga explained, is that this new complaint “expands the facts and demonstrates that what we said was going to happen is happening”, including other actors, such as Puigdemont, Otegi, Junts or EH Bildu.
Party sources clarify that, if the Supreme Court’s rejection of the case was due to “conjecture”, they now want to state for the record that there is now already talk of amnesty for Catalan pro-independence leaders or referendums on self-determination, and not just in Catalonia. Source, Spanish: https://www.europapress.es/nacional/noticia-vox-presentara-denuncia-supremo-contra-gobierno-puigdemont-otegi-conspiracion-rebelion-20231009150651.html
SPANISH ELECTIONS
Why is Spain’s amnesty plan so controversial in the pending election of the next Prime Minister? An exceptionally clear and balanced explanation of the situation: {By Conor Faulkner, thelocal.es}
– Spain’s snap general election in July failed to produce a governable majority for either the Spanish left or right. Though political pundits and polling data had forecast a sweeping majority for the centre-right Partido Popular (PP), acting Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s Socialists (PSOE) surprised Spain and forced a political stalemate.
– Then the political horse trading began, with each side seeking the votes for an absolute majority in Spain’s Congress of Deputies. PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo failed to do this, losing his investiture vote in late-September, because many smaller parties refused to support his bid for government if it meant potentially allowing the far-right into Spain’s government.
– Now is the turn of Sánchez and the Socialists. He has a more realistic chance of getting to 178 and governing again. Though the Spanish left didn’t win as many votes as the right in absolute terms, it has more room for political manoeuvring and potential coalition partners. One is Sumar, the far-left collection of parties led by Labour Minister Yolanda Díaz Pérez that absorbed Podemos, the junior coalition partner in the last government.
– But that won’t be enough to reach 178. So who does Sánchez turn to? Separatist forces in Catalonian politics – more specifically, Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (ERC) and Junts per Catalunya, led by Carles Puigdemont, leader of the failed 2017 independence bid who has been living in self-imposed exile in Belgium for fear of arrest ever since.
Their main demand in return for backing a Sánchez government? An amnesty on the leaders of that failed bid.
– What is an amnesty? In simple terms, an amnesty is an act granted by an authority, usually a government, that involves the forgiveness and bypassing or wavering of punishment of people who have committed crimes. However, political amnesties are not clearly outlined in the Spanish Constitution, so the proposed amnesty for Catalan separatist leaders is, along with being incredibly controversial, also legally ambiguous.
– Some legal experts argue it could be constitutional, depending on the text and circumstances, while others suggest it would be equivalent to a general pardon, something that is prohibited. A pardon is the total or partial forgiveness of an individual sentence, although the person in question is not pardoned for their status as a convicted person, so would therefore be a repeat offender in the event of committing new crimes. This differs from an amnesty, which in effect implements a broader ‘legal forgetfulness’ for both the crimes and the responsibility of their perpetrators.
– Essentially, in return for supporting the Sánchez government, Junts and ERC are demanding a political amnesty for the leaders of the failed referendum bid in 2017. But this wouldn’t just be for the political leaders. According to reports in the Spanish press in recent weeks, the proposed amnesty could include as many as 1,500 people who were involved, many of whom are in jail or have charges outstanding against them.
– Why it’s controversial. This is an incendiary topic in Spain, and has proven increasingly controversial as investiture negotiations rumble on. Over the weekend, tens of thousands took to the streets in Barcelona to protest against the hypothetical amnesty. According to a poll cited by Reuters, almost 70 percent of respondents polled recently said they were against an amnesty. Interestingly, this is not a binary left-right issue: 59 percent of PSOE voters said the same.
– Speaking at the event, PP leader Feijóo painted the proposed amnesty as anti-democratic and Sánchez’s deal making as cynical transactionalism: “We stand with democracy – and anything that amounts to a reactionary decision needs to be condemned by all democrats,” he said. “Catalonia isn’t a business or a society where the law isn’t respected, and the office of Prime Minister cannot be sold or traded.”
– For many Spaniards, Sánchez’s courting of Catalonian separatists is further evidence of his willingness to do whatever it takes to remain in power, and his dependence on radical, minority forces in Spanish politics. His PSOE government was in coalition with the far-left and relied on the support not only of Catalan but also Basque separatist parties to pass his legislation. Most controversially, EH Bildu, the political wing of now defunct Basque terror group ETA, something that was a strong theme on the summer campaign trail.
– What does it mean for Spanish politics? In the short-term, an amnesty means the Sánchez government is more likely to govern again. If acceptable terms are offered to Junts and ERC, they will likely support his investiture bid and vote him back into La Moncloa. PSOE sources suggest any amnesty could be conditional on Junts dropping referendum demands. Sánchez was formally invited by Felipe VI to try and form a government last week, and details of any amnesty are still yet to be finalised.
– As El Mundo has reported, a legal fudge may be found to try and soften some of the incendiary political baggage carried by a formal amnesty: “PSOE and ERC are already working on a text that would eliminate the criminal responsibility of those who took part in what happened in the fall of 2017 in Catalonia, but avoiding calling it amnesty.” This seems a likely outcome.
– For Sánchez and many on the Spanish left, an amnesty represents not only a route to reelection but the continuation of what they perceive to be the ‘normalisation’ of relations with Catalonia. Rather than inflaming tensions with separatists or worsening the Catalonia question, as the Spanish right suggest, Sánchez argues the opposite: that doing so would soften the issue and make conflict more unlikely.
– “I will be consistent with the policy of normalisation and stabilisation of the political situation in Catalonia,” Sánchez told journalists in New York last week, referring to previous steps taken to normalise relations between Catalonian separatists and La Moncloa. In 2021, he granted pardons to nine independence leaders. The government also reformed sedition and embezzlement legislation. Many now view an amnesty as the next logical step on this road to normalisation.
– In the medium to long-term, an amnesty for Catalan separatists would cause uproar on the Spanish right and could have a galvanising effect on the populist right. Vox, some of the staunchest opponents of any amnesty or normalisation process, first rose to power in response to separatist forces in the mid-2010s. An amnesty may provide the far-right party with political momentum after underperforming in the general elections.
– Similarly, for the PP, an amnesty (and thus the reelection of Sánchez) likely means the end of Feijóo’s party leadership. Viewed by many as missing something of an open goal in July’s general election, if an amnesty further polarises Spanish politics, which it seems likely to, Feijóo may well be cast aside for a more populist leader. Madrid regional President Isabel Ayuso, an outspoken critic of an amnesty who has accused Sánchez of leading Spain down “a dead end and in a tyrannical way,” seems a likely successor.
– Of course, none of this may happen. The PSOE may not reach a deal with Junts and ERC and Sánchez could fail in his investiture vote. He has until November 27th to finish negotiations and go to the Congress – if he fails, Spain will have another general election, likely sometime in the New Year.
– One final note. The EU Commissioner for Justice, Didier Reynders {pic} released a statement that warns the EU will be monitoring this closely and discussing their possible responses, “especially if there are links with the embezzlement or misappropriation of public funds”. His statements come five days after the Commissioner met with Adrián Vázquez, head of the Ciudadanos delegation in the Parliament. Both are part of the European liberal group and held a meeting on 4 October in which Vázquez told the Commissioner of his concern about the future “law of impunity” which, according to him, is being prepared by the government in office. Vázquez denounced to his colleague that Pedro Sánchez is taking steps “to erode our rule of law and our democracy”, all to try to “tie up at all costs” his investiture.

ANDALUCIA
Healthcare In Crisis- The PSOE-A describes it as “scandalous and shameful” that the regional government “hides the waiting lists” in the health sector: {Translation, summary}
– The head of Health of the Socialist Parliamentary Group, María Ángeles Prieto, has branded this Monday as “scandalous and shameful that a president of the Junta” of Andalusia – referring to Juanma Moreno (PP) – “is dedicated to hide the situation of health waiting lists that are overwhelmed generating a serious problem for the health of Andalusians”.
– This is what the PSOE-A MP said in a note in which she drew attention to data published by the CCOO union, which warns that the surgical waiting list “is growing by 50%” in Andalusia, “three times more than in the rest of the country”.
– In addition, “one in four Andalusians has to wait more than half a year for the operation they need”, and that “the average waiting time for a first consultation has increased from 53 days in 2018 to 107 in 2022, while for surgery it has gone from 73 to 143, according to data from the Ministry of Health” cited by the PSOE-A parliamentarian in her note.
– In addition, María Ángeles Prieto has warned that “patients outside the legal guarantee period to be operated on have gone from 6% in 2018 to 25% in 2022”, and has asserted that “it is not true that the waiting days have decreased, as the Junta pretends to make it seem”.
– For the representative of the PSOE-A, these data “confirm” what her party has been denouncing for “months”, which is that “the SAS waiting lists are more overflowing than ever, that the rain of millions from the public coffers that Moreno Bonilla has given to private healthcare has not served to reduce them, and that the Junta has spent a year without publishing the lists to hide its failure in healthcare management”.
“The PSOE-A member of parliament, who has attributed this situation to staff cuts; specifically of up to 3,000 professionals between 2020-2021, in the middle of the pandemic, with the dismissal of 12,000 Covid contracts”, as she emphasised before also criticising that “public operating theatres are closed in the afternoons and operate at half throttle”.

MALAGA PROVINCE
These are the areas of Malaga province and the Costa del Sol that must cut their water usage by another ten per cent:
– The extreme drought affecting Malaga province continues to wreak havoc on the countryside and is putting the supply of water to the population at serious risk if there continues to be no significant rainfall in the coming weeks.
– Faced with this complicated scenario, with the region’s reservoirs at 20.7% of their capacity on Friday, the Andalusian regional government, as the competent water authority in the Andalusian Mediterranean Basin, has held a management committee to discuss measures for the coming months and allocations according to the different scenarios.
– In the case of Malaga province, the water-saving measures in force in the Guadalhorce-Limonero and Western Costa del Sol systems have been increased from 10 to 20%, and the La Viñuela system has been maintained at 20%. In the latter case, the transfer of water from the Guadalhorce system, the boreholes of the Chíllar river in Nerja and the surface resources of La Viñuela has been approved to continue. In the latter case, work is being carried out on the installation of a surface pump to extract the water with guarantees that it can be made drinkable at the El Trapiche plant.
– The most complicated situation in the province continues to be at La Viñuela reservoir, which is at 7.9% of its capacity, with barely 13 cubic hectometres stored. Of this amount, it is estimated that barely four hectometres can be made drinkable by the El Trapiche plant in Vélez-Málaga. The director of exploitation of the La Viñuela system, Francisco López, has warned in his report, to which SUR has had access, that “there has been a more marked drop in quality in the last three months of the hydrological year”.
– With these approved reductions, it will now be up to the local councils to determine whether they have to impose new restrictions on consumption, as at least a dozen localities in Malaga have been doing since last July. In another thirty there are no cuts but there are limitations on use. Full article: https://www.surinenglish.com/malaga/these-are-the-areas-malaga-province-and-20231006130856-nt.html

Villanueva de Tapia celebrates 153 years of tradition with three-day livestock fair and market:
– Villanueva de Tapia will highlight a tradition that goes back to 1869 when it celebrates the 153th Real Feria de Ganado, a livestock and agriculture fair that will take place from Tuesday 10 until Thursday 12 October.
– The Malaga town was chosen as the venue to host one of the most notable fairs in Andalucía because of its location, bordering the provinces of Granada and Cordoba, and it has since it gained recognition throughout Spain. Its privileged location on an important livestock route has made this fair an essential meeting point for livestock dealers from all over the country. Over the years, this fair has preserved its essence, maintaining a traditional livestock market where the buying and selling of animals, especially horses, continues to be a fundamental part of the celebration.
– The three-day event will also include a farm machinery exhibition, workshops, equine shoeing and shearing demonstrations, as well as traditional events such as an equine dance show. There will also be musical and folkloric performances, a domino and pétanque competition along with a variety of different activities for the whole family.

EUROPE
Inflated rents, high interest rates and lack of supply create European housing crisis:
– In cities across Europe, rising rents coupled with soaring costs for energy and food are forcing people to adapt to living conditions, particularly the young.
– Across the 27 EU member states, more than a quarter of Europeans between 15 and 29 years old reported living in overcrowded conditions in 2022. In Ireland, 30% of 18- to 24-year-olds were still living with their parents in 2022 – an almost 10% increase in five years.
– But it is not just Europe’s young renters who are feeling the squeeze. As rents in Paris, Berlin and Lisbon have reached unprecedented highs, interest rates on mortgages have also risen across the bloc, driving up costs for homeowners with variable rate mortgages and pricing out many potential buyers altogether.
– There is little hope for quick improvement. The European Central Bank (ECB) raised its key interest rate to a record-high 4% in mid-September and interest rates will stay high for “as long as necessary” to beat back inflation, ECB chief Christine LaGarde said at the end of that month.

Travellers to France Concerned About Bedbug Infestation Ahead of Olympic & Paralympics Games:
– Passengers of French rail transport have shared pictures and videos of bedbugs in train seats throughout the week, raising concerns that this type of transport is unsafe.
– Between 2017 and 2022, more than one in ten French households had a bedbug infestation…it puts the rise in infestations down to the growth in travel and increasing resistance of bedbugs to insecticides.
– Some of the reports of bedbugs so far have been made for a TGV train from Marseille to Paris, as well as another two sightings reported in the same week on other SNCF trains. Last week, a passenger shared a picture on social media, claiming there was an insect resembling a bedbug on her seat at the low-cost train operator Ouigo. Paris Metro was also reported for a similar issue at line eight and TCL busses in Lyon.
– After such reports circulated, the transport minister Celemnt Beaune urged travellers to remain calm and noted there is no need for psychosis or fear, also claiming there is no outbreak of bedbugs in public transport.

Israel war- Hamas threatens to execute a hostage for every unannounced attack on Gaza:
– Hamas has threatened to execute the hostages in its custody due to the Israeli military’s response to one of the gravest terror attacks in the country’s history.
– Militants from the Gaza Strip launched a sophisticated and heavily orchestrated terror attack this past weekend that left at least 700 Israelis dead, while the perpetrators also kidnapped an unknown number of Israeli civilians and brought them to the small enclave that borders the Mediterranean Sea. Hamas has claimed it has more than 100 hostages. Abu Obeida, spokesman for Al Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, warned on Al-Jazeera Arabic,. “Over the past few hours, we suffered as a result of the harm inflicted on our brothers and sisters at the hands of fascist barbarian Zionist attacks targeting residential buildings,” he said. “Therefore, we have decided to put an end to this. From this moment on, we announce that any targeting of innocent civilians without warning will be met regretfully, to say, by executing one of the hostages in our custody, and we will be forced to broadcast this execution.” Full article: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/foreign/israel-war-hamas-threatens-execute-hostage-every-unannounced-attack
