SPAIN
President Sánchez advocates for a Socialist International group with global weight and based on progressive policies: {Translation, summary}
– The President of the Government, Secretary General of the PSOE and President of the Socialist International, Pedro Sánchez, has called for a Socialist International Group (SI) that is a global point of reference for the thought and action of progressive policies. This is what Sánchez said this Sunday before the Latin American and Caribbean Committee of the SI held in Santo Domingo
– He assured that the work this weekend of both the Committee and the Forum with progressive governments and Ibero-American leaders would become a starting point “in the common desire that unites us: a renewed Socialist International with global weight. It must be capable of transmitting, in the great global conversation, a more lively ideology that represents the majorities (?) and is more necessary than ever (??), like our movement (???)“, he concluded.

28-M Election News: Spokesperson for Ciudadanos, Inés Arrimadas, lists the “Barbarities” of the Sánchez government: {Translation, summary}
– The PP (conservative, Christian-democratic) would win the general elections, with 32.4 percent and up to 143 seats, and would add an absolute majority with Vox (conservative right). The collapse of United We Can (democratic socialist) leaves the socialist PSOE without options to reach a majority to govern.
– If the general elections were held at this time, there would be political change in Spain. The PP would win at the polls, would add an absolute majority with Vox and Alberto Núñez Feijóo would be, foreseeably, president of the Government, according to the latest GAD3 barometer for ABC. The PSOE would run out of options, weighed down by the collapse of its government partner, United We Can, despite the transfer of votes that occurs between the two.
– In the recent debate on the motion of censure, the spokesperson for Ciudadanos, Inés Arrimadas, dedicated part of her speech to recounting all the “barbarities”, as she described them, of the Sánchez government. Due to a matter of space, not all of them can be reproduced here, but these are some that he highlighted: the law of ‘only yes is yes’, the Trans law, the suppression of the crime of sedition, the reduction of embezzlement, the approach of one hundred per hundred of ETA prisoners to the Basque Country for a pact with Bildu, the pact with Otegi of the Historical Memory Law, the pardon for the pro-independence coup leaders, the increasing price of the shopping basket, the ERE case, the Tito Berni case , the use of institutions in a partisan manner, the barometers of the CIS of Tezanos, “cry out against prostitution, but keep quiet and protect their deputies when they go to the brothels with the money from bribes”, “treat, from the Government, to men and boys in this country as potential rapists and abusers”, spending 250 million euros on trains that do not fit through the tunnels and “hide this botch for a year”, flipping Spain’s position with respect to the Sahara… The list was much longer and continues to grow. It can now be added, for example, the resignation of the director of the Civil Guard after her husband was accused of corruption.

Nomads of robbery- a gang that robbed Andalucian homes and warehouses falls in Antequera: {Translation, summary}
– The National Police have dismantled an itinerant criminal group in the municipality of Antequera, Malaga, specialising in the commission of burglaries in homes and warehouses. Five members have been arrested, three men and two women, aged between 42 and 25, as suspects in the crimes of belonging to a criminal group and crimes against property.
– The detainees used rented vehicles for their movements and took extreme security measures to make police investigation more difficult. This group carried out illicit activities of the same characteristics in different parts of Andalusia, focusing on the border area between Malaga, Seville and Cordoba, according to the National Police in a statement. Those under investigation were assigned different roles within the organisation, on the one hand those in charge of recognising the place to choose the targets, also those commissioned to know the security measures and possible access routes, and, finally, those responsible for perpetrating the robberies.
– All of those arrested have previous convictions for crimes against property, one of them having been arrested up to forty times. Source, Spanish: https://andaluciainformacion.es/andalucia/1230917/nomadas-del-robo-cae-en-antequera-una-banda-que-robaba-en-domicilios-y-naves-andaluces/

UK driving licence deal: How to exchange yours for a Spanish one: {Source: The Local.es, thanks for compiling this info as a public service!}
– Spain’s Interior Ministry confirmed on Tuesday March 14th that the UK-Spain driving licence deal had been approved and that those with UK licences could be back on the road from Thursday March 16th, while they wait to exchange it. From March 16th 2023 onwards, holders of a valid and current driving licence issued by either Spain or the UK may request to exchange it, depending on their residency, without being subject to any additional requirement such as a practical or theory test. In order to make the process easier, the provincial traffic headquarters has granted a period of six months, during which British citizens can drive in Spain with their original permit while they undergo the process of exchanging it.
***The Process***
– Driving licenses for residents in Spain that have been issued in the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland can be exchanged for an equivalent Spanish licence, only when a set of specific requirements has been met. These are:
*The driving license cannot be exchanged if you obtained it in your country of origin while you are already a legal resident in Spain.
*It will also not be exchangeable if you have obtained the permit after signing up as a legal resident in Spain.
*You will still be able to exchange your licence, even if your permit has expired after you entered Spain.
*Driving licences issued by the UK and Northern Ireland authorities will be valid for driving in Spain for a period of six months from March 16th.
– The British Embassy in Spain has reminded UK residents in Spain that “If you don’t exchange within the six-month window, you won’t be able to drive in Spain anymore using your UK licence, but you will still be able to exchange your licence after that time without taking the Spanish test”.
– Step 1: Take your psicotécnico test
The ‘psicotécnico’ is a medical exam in Spain that tests both your physical and mental abilities to assess whether you can safely carry out certain tasks, such as driving a car. Everyone in Spain needs to get one of these when they renew or get a new licence.
Remember that you must take this test before you make your appointment to exchange your licence. You must have taken the test within three months of applying for the exchange. If it is older than this, you will have to take it again.
– Step 2: Getting an appointment
The next thing you need to do is get an appointment with a Jefatura or Oficina de Trafico to do the exchange. You can request an appointment online here (https://sedeclave.dgt.gob.es/WEB_NCIT_CONSULTA/solicitarCita.faces) or by calling 060. If doing it online, you will first select your city from the dropdown menu and then select Trámites de Oficina.
– Next, click ‘continuar’ on the Área: Conductores / Vehículos / Sanciones. This will bring up a page where you will have to fill out all your personal details such as NIE/TIE number, name and e-mail address. Once complete, click on ‘Solicitar’ and this will give you your appointment day and time. Be aware that because of the number of applicants, it may not be able to get an appointment in all cities right away, but keep trying at different times of the day.
– What do I need to take with me to the appointment?
*A completed application form which you can find on the DGT website here (https://sede.dgt.gob.es/es/permisos-de-conducir/canje-permisos/canje-permisos-extranjeros/canje-permisos-con-convenio/index_UK.shtml), including a declaration to say you have the right to drive motor vehicles and mopeds, haven’t been restricted and that you do not hold another EU or EEA licence of the same class as the one requested or that has been restricted, suspended or annulled.
*ID cards such as your NIE or TIE, residence card, or valid passport. Proof of residence such as your original residence card or certificate of registration in the EU citizen registry and any other document requested by the office where the exchange request is processed.
*Your permit verification code: Before the day of the appointment, you must access the following web pages to obtain your permit verification code. If your permit has been issued by the UK (DVLA), you can find it here (https://www.gov.uk/view-driving-licence). If it was issued in Northern Ireland (DVA), you can find it here (https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/services/view-or-share-your-driving-licence-information).
*The results of your ‘psicotécnico’ test, issued by an authorised Driver Recognition Centre.
*Proof of payment of having paid the fee. This costs a total of €28,87.
*A current original photograph, measuring 32 x26 mm. It must be in color and with a plain background. The same rules as your passport photo apply such as not wearing dark glasses or a hat.
– Remember that while your application for the exchange is being processed, your original permit will be taken away and a provisional permit will be issued to you until the new Spanish one is ready. This will be valid for three months.
– How long will it take?
According to the DGT website, it will take approximately a month and a half after your appointment until you are issued your final Spanish licence. You don’t have to worry about making another appointment and going to your nearest office to collect it, it will simply be sent to your home address. You can check online to see the processing status of your permit. Source: https://www.thelocal.es/20230316/uk-driving-licence-deal-how-to-exchange-your-licence-for-a-spanish-one

PRODUCT ALERT
UK public warned not to eat Baronet semi-soft cheeses after listeria death: One person in the UK has died in a listeria outbreak, public health bodies have revealed, as they warned consumers not to eat Baronet semi-soft cheeses because of contamination discovered at exceptionally high levels in some products. An alert from the Food Standards Agency (FSA), updated on Monday, said the Old Cheese Room, a Wiltshire-based manufacturer, had extended its recall of Baronet, Baby Baronet and Mini Baronet soft cheeses because listeria had been found in some batches. These include pack sizes of 1kg, 270g and 200g, with best before dates of 21 and 22 March, and 4, 10, 11, 12, 16 and 18 April. “Baronet cheese is sold in both small individual rounds and as 1kg wheels. The cheeses are sometimes served sliced from a deli counter, so it may not always be clear whether you have purchased an affected product,” the agencies said. “If in doubt, consumers are advised to contact the retailer they bought their cheese from to find out if the Baronet cheese they have purchased is from the batches affected and in the meantime to not eat the product.” Photo: Old Cheese Room.

Western Woke Publishers Adopt Maoist Tactics – Back To Burning Books? – Agatha Christie’s publishing house rewrites some of her books to adapt them to “new sensibilities”, eliminates entire passages in attempt to erase history & culture – Roald Dahl & Ian Fleming get same treatment:
– A commission of “sensitive readers” chosen by HarperCollins removes and modifies ethnic references and physical descriptions from the novels of Inspector Poirot and Miss Marple. Agatha Christie’s novels are being rewritten by her publisher, HarperCollins, to suit “modern sensibilities,” the British newspaper The Telegraph revealed on Sunday. Ethnic references, insults and what could be considered offensive language will be removed from the books containing the Inspector Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple mysteries.
– In this way, the mystery writer’s work will pass through a sieve similar to the one that Roald Dahl’s books or the James Bond adventures written by Ian Fleming have already been subjected to. The “rewriting” of Roald Dahl’s texts sparked global outrage and suspicions about its legality. For now, it has been reported that entire passages have been removed or rewritten from the books starring Poirot and Miss Marple, works written between the twenties and seventies of the last century.
