SPAIN
The Supreme Court rejects taking the extraordinary regularization of migrants to the CJEU and again rules out halting it- claims the ‘public interest’ of migrants outweighs the ‘public interest’ of citizens: {Trans, summary}
– The Supreme Court has decided not to refer Spain’s extraordinary migrant regularisation scheme to the Court of Justice of the European Union at this stage, rejecting the State Attorney’s request for a preliminary ruling. The court said that, having already decided not to suspend the measure, it was not appropriate to seek guidance from the European court during the current proceedings.
– Although the Supreme Court previously acknowledged possible doubts over whether the scheme could conflict with the EU Migration and Asylum Pact, it ruled that those questions do not justify delaying the case now.
– The decision also reaffirms its earlier refusal to suspend the regularisation programme while legal challenges continue. The judges maintained that the measure serves a significant ‘public interest’ by helping integrate long term undocumented migrants, strengthening Social Security and tax revenues, improving labour market transparency, protecting human rights and reducing exploitation. Suspending the scheme would also harm applicants by leaving them in administrative irregularity.
– {The article does not mention any potential negative impacts against the citizen’s ‘public interest’, such as:
Increased pressure on healthcare.
Increased demand for education.
Greater strain on housing, driving up rents.
Higher demand for social services & welfare.
Pressure on local authority budgets / Costs to taxpayers.
Public security concerns.
In other words, the article reports the court’s stated reasoning for its procedural decision prioritising the migrants but does not discuss or evaluate possible adverse consequences of the regularisation policy on existing residents. Not exactly sure how that equates to justice for all? -Ed.}
Source, Spanish: https://www.europapress.es/nacional/noticia-supremo-rechaza-llevar-tjue-regularizacion-extraordinaria-migrantes-vuelve-descartar-paralizarla-20260708140533.html
Follow-up question on the regularizations…
Could the EU decide to intervene without an invitation? Here’s the response: {DigameXtra with ChatGPT AI assist. AI can make mistakes, confirm all critical info independently.}
– Yes. The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) cannot simply choose to take over a case on its own initiative, but the European Union has other ways to intervene if it believes a Member State is breaching EU law.
For example:
– The European Commission can open an infringement procedure if it believes Spain’s regularisation scheme violates EU law. It would first send a formal notice, then a reasoned opinion, and could ultimately refer Spain to the CJEU if the issue is not resolved.
– A Spanish court can refer questions to the CJEU at any stage if it considers that interpreting EU law is necessary to decide the case. The Supreme Court’s latest decision only means it is not doing so at this procedural stage. It could still make a referral later if it considers one necessary.
– Other Spanish courts hearing related cases could also make their own references to the CJEU.
– In limited circumstances, the European Commission or another Member State can intervene in proceedings before the CJEU if a case is already before it, but they cannot create such a case simply by intervening.
– So, in this case, the CJEU itself cannot step in uninvited. However, if the European Commission believes Spain’s migrant regularisation conflicts with EU law, it does not need the Supreme Court’s permission to begin infringement proceedings against Spain. That is a separate legal process from the domestic court case.

Trump orders halt to US trade with Spain, again, over NATO spending, Iran:
– US President Donald Trump used the NATO summit in Ankara to launch a fresh attack on Spain, accusing it of failing to meet its alliance commitments and threatening economic retaliation. Referring to Spain’s refusal to back NATO’s new 5% of GDP defence spending target, he told NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte: “Spain doesn’t agree to anything, and you shouldn’t carry them.”
– Trump then repeated his threat to end trade with Spain, saying: “I don’t want to do any trade with them, alright?” He turned to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who replied, “Yes, sir.” Trump continued: “Don’t even talk to them. They’re hopeless. They’re bad people… They make so much money with us, and we’re going to see that they make a lot less.”
– Earlier during the summit, Trump described Spain as a “terrible partner” within NATO, criticising its stance on defence spending and its refusal to support US military operations against Iran by allowing the use of Spanish airspace and military bases. Although he had earlier reignited tensions with these remarks, Trump later adopted a more conciliatory tone, saying there had been “love” and “a lot of unity” at the summit despite the disagreements.

AEMET yellow alert for Thursday and Friday in Axarquía due to maximum temps of 36C: {Trans, summary}
– The State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) has issued a yellow alert for Thursday and Friday in the area due to maximum temperatures of 36 degrees Celsius, although these values will be exceeded inland. The alert will be in effect both days between 1:00 PM and 9:00 PM. Furthermore, westerly winds are expected to strengthen, making for an unpleasant day.
– The highest temperatures in the Axarquía region are expected in Periana, Benamargosa, La Viñuela, and Riogordo, with a forecast high of 38C, according to data from AEMET (the Spanish State Meteorological Agency). Meanwhile, 37C are predicted for Almáchar, El Borge, Alcaucín, and Totalán; 36C for Vélez-Málaga, Rincón de la Victoria, Benamocarra, Canillas de Aceituno, and Colmenar; 35C for Algarrobo, Frigiliana, Comares, Iznate, and Canillas de Albaida; and 34C for Nerja, Torrox, Cómpeta, and Alfarnate. Minimum temperatures will remain very high, with night time lows not falling below 23-25C across much of the region.
– For Friday, the weather service forecasts sunny skies across the province. Temperatures will be slightly lower or remain unchanged in some areas. Light westerly winds will prevail, occasionally becoming moderate along the coast.

MALAGA PROVINCE
Who Keeps Pooping In The Municipal Pools? Four municipal swimming pools in Alhaurín de la Torre are closed after E. coli is detected: {Trans, summary}
– The Alhaurín de la Torre Town Hall has had to close four of its municipal swimming pools after routine checks detected the presence of Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria, an indicator of fecal contamination. According to a statement from the Town Hall, the situation requires the immediate activation of the established health protocol, which involves hyperchlorinating the water.
– Specifically, the closed facilities are Torrealquería , La Alquería , and the smaller pools at Joaquín Blume and El Cordobés . All of these will remain closed for at least 24 hours while the necessary work is carried out to completely eliminate the bacteria.
– Thus, in accordance with current regulations, the City Council has begun the process of hyperchlorinating the water, which entails the precautionary closure of the facilities for approximately 24 hours. If new analyses confirm that the parameters are back to normal, the affected bathing areas are expected to reopen this Thursday.
– “The presence of E. coli is usually related to contamination by fecal matter, which can reach the water due to poor hygiene on the part of some users, especially young children, by entering with contaminated footwear, or, in some cases, due to antisocial behavior or acts of vandalism,” they explain.

So what can explain this recent wave of pool pooping? Town Halls in Sevilla & Valencia claim it is a social media “brown challenge”?
The ‘brown challenge’, defecating in the water, leads to the closure of swimming pools and requires increased surveillance: {Trans, summary}
– The Club Labradores in Sevilla became one of the highest-profile victims of the so-called “brown challenge”, an antisocial trend in which individuals deliberately defecate in swimming pools, apparently to gain attention on social media. Each incident forces a pool to close immediately while staff disinfect the water and restore safe hygiene standards, disrupting visitors and increasing operating costs.
– The club’s pool opened for the summer on 30 May but was forced to close six times after repeated acts of contamination. Every closure lasted around four hours while staff carried out cleaning, chlorination and water treatment before the pool could safely reopen.
– To stop the problem, the club introduced three private security guards on 30 June to patrol the grounds and monitor the pool area in addition to its existing staff. According to the club, no further contamination incidents have occurred since the enhanced security measures were introduced, suggesting the increased surveillance has successfully deterred further acts of vandalism.

The viral “brown” challenge reaches Oliva (Valencia) and forces the closure of the swimming pools in the middle of a heat wave: {Trans, summary}
– The viral “brown” challenge has reached Oliva, right in the middle of a heatwave. The town council announced this on social media, also announcing the closure of the municipal swimming pool due to the presence of excrement.
– This morning (5 June, 2026), excrement was found in the municipal swimming pools of Oliva, both the indoor and outdoor pools, leading to their closure to the public. According to the town council, this appears to be a consequence of the social media trend– the “brown challenge,” which involves defecating in the pools to force their closure.
– After the removal of the excrement, the pool water will now undergo thorough purification and filtration. There is no reopening date at this time, and the Oliva Town Council regrets this situation, which also coincides with the orange alert for high temperatures.
– They urge common sense and care for public spaces, for the health and well-being of all. The same request is being made by municipalities such as Bellreguard and Villalonga, which have also recently had to close their swimming pools due to the presence of excrement.

So what is really going on here? No evidence of a social media “Brown Challenge” can be found. Looks like a diversion by the Town Halls to avoid placing blame elsewhere: {DigameXtra with ChatGPT AI assist. AI can make mistakes, confirm all critical info independently.}
– ChatGPT couldn’t find a verifiable public social media post that explicitly encourages people to defecate in swimming pools as part of the “Brown Challenge.”
– Yes, the term “Brown Challenge” is now used by Spanish media and some local authorities.
– Yes, there have been genuine pool closures caused by deliberate fouling.
– But no, there is currently little publicly verifiable evidence of a large, coordinated social media movement behind it. Much of the reporting relies on statements from councils or secondary media reports rather than identifiable online campaigns. Ref: https://chatgpt.com/s/t_6a4eea3eef2c8191ac8fea14cff01811

– The 26,000 square metre seafront venue has three stages, including the Sunrise Stage for techno and electronic music. Thursday opens with the traditional Welcome Party starring La Pegatina, Boikot and Medina Azahara on their farewell tour.
– Friday’s programme includes Dellafuente’s only Andalucía concert, alongside David Bisbal, Morad and Ana Mena. Because Spain’s World Cup quarter-final against Belgium will coincide with the performances, organisers will install a large silent screen inside the venue so football fans can follow the match without interrupting the live music.

Trump declares the truce with Iran “broken”, “I don’t want anything to do with them”– The US president announces new bombings against the Islamic Republic, whose leaders he calls “scum” and “sick people”: {Trans, summary}
– Three weeks after signing a memorandum of understanding intended to lead to a peace agreement, US President Donald Trump declared the ceasefire with Iran over during the NATO summit in Ankara.
– Trump said, “As far as I’m concerned, it’s over. I don’t want to deal with them again. They’re scum. Do you know what scum is? They’re sick people. They’re run by sick people. And they’re vicious, violent people. And if they had a nuclear weapon, they’d use it.” He also warned, “We’ll hit hard.” Trump described further negotiations as “a waste of time”, saying Iranian officials are “liars” who do not honour agreements and are “cheats”.
– Washington said it launched air strikes against more than 80 Iranian military targets after Tehran allegedly attacked three merchant ships in the Strait of Hormuz over the weekend, which it considered a ceasefire violation. The Pentagon said more than 60 Revolutionary Guard fast attack craft were destroyed. Trump later threatened further attacks, a naval blockade and “denuclearising” Iran without an agreement, while insisting regime change was not his objective.

The Germans are setting an example for Spain- they are installing dog parking areas at supermarket entrances: {Trans, summary}
– In Spain, the Animal Welfare Law reaffirms the prohibition against leaving dogs tied up in public while their owners shop. In contrast, Germany has decided to put an end to this practice by installing designated pet parking areas outside some of its supermarkets.
– Developed by a startup called DogSpot, these kennels function as parking areas for pets, providing greater security and convenience for owners while they shop inside the store.
– Dog parking facilities in Germany have numerous features that make them unique and comfortable. They are individual modern kennels with temperature control and proper ventilation. They also have a hygienic design that minimizes stress for the animal. Furthermore, these facilities incorporate new technologies, allowing the entrance to be locked and unlocked via a smartphone app or a code provided by the store. This initiative is complemented by video surveillance and automatic disinfection systems.
