The PP and Vox compete for the vote of Aliança in the upcoming general elections in Catalonia, where the influence of the voters of this party could be decisive for both formations in a context marked by a growing focus on immigration and security issues. #Cataluña #EleccionesGenerales #Vox (translated)

The appointment was an open secret, and in recent days, Albiol himself has shared videos on his social media where he links what he considers his successes as mayor — for example, the vacating of an old institute, B9, which had become the largest migrant settlement in Spain — with the need for legal reforms in the country after the elections. #EleccionesGenerales #Cataluña #XavierGarcíaAlbiol (translated)

I accept this responsibility with pride, excitement, and a huge sense of commitment," Albiol wrote on X. "I want to make something very clear: I will continue to be the mayor of Badalona and my commitment to my city, both present and future, remains intact," the mayor added, to clear up any doubts that might arise regarding a possible resignation from his position as mayor. "Now I want to bring the voice of Badalona and the rest of the municipalities in Catalonia to the Congress of Deputies, to defend issues that directly affect our neighbors: ending illegal occupations, combating repeat offenses, and controlling irregular immigration," he expressed. #XavierGarcíaAlbiol #PartidoPopular #Badalona (translated)

Catalonia and the Valencian Community have issued alerts for the risk of torrential rains, advising the population to avoid traveling and to take precautions due to the arrival of a mass of cold air and humid winds from the Mediterranean. #AlertaMeteorológica #LluviasTorrenciales #CataluñaValencia (translated)

The disagreement between Gabriel Rufián and the Left-Wing Coalition reignites the historical tensions between ERC and the Comuns due to their electoral competition, differences regarding the model of state, and the difficulty in achieving a joint left-wing candidacy in Catalonia. #Cataluña #Izquierda #ERC (translated)

A group of Catalan independence leaders, led by Joan Tardà, tried to establish a Broad and Republican Front in Catalonia to challenge the regime of '78, but the initiative failed due to internal divisions and the reluctance of Ada Colau. #FrenteAmplio #Cataluña #Soberanismo (translated)

The PSOE and the Broad Front have registered an electoral coalition called 'Senate of Progress' for the elections on November 29, with joint lists in all provinces of Spain, except for Catalonia and the Canary Islands, with the aim of challenging the absolute majority of the PP in the Senate. #SenadoDeProgreso #PSOE #Elecciones29N (translated)

Chema Garrido argued that the left should always resort to primary elections and let the citizens resolve disputes among their leaders. He also defended that the candidates from Andalusia, Catalonia, and the Basque Country should not be elected in Madrid, but rather by those who vote in each territory. #Primarias #Izquierda #Democracia (translated)

The operation to unite on the left fails, as Podemos and the Broad Front will only run jointly in the Community of Valencia and the Canary Islands on November 29, while in Madrid they will go separately and in Catalonia they will support ERC instead of Ada Colau. #Podemos #FrenteAmplio #UniónDeLaIzquierda (translated)

Frente Amplio has proposed to Podemos an agreement for the general elections on November 29, offering priority positions in Madrid and Catalonia and guaranteeing Podemos's full participation in all constituencies where Frente Amplio runs. #FrenteAmplio #Podemos #EleccionesGenerales (translated)

Pablo Iglesias stated that Compromís, Podemos, Izquierda Unida, and ERC, among other parties, had agreed to run together in the elections in the Valencian Community. He noted that the coalition would not be called Frente Amplio and contrasted the agreement with the situation in Catalonia, where ERC competed with that formation while Podemos supported it and, as he wrote, would integrate into its lists. Iglesias said that the coalitions in the Canary Islands and the Valencian Community were also not called Frente Amplio or Sumar, as was the case, according to him, in the Balearic Islands and Aragón. He asserted that similar agreements could be reached in other territories and that plurinationality and the left complicated these alliances. He also criticized the position of those who, as he wrote, conditioned agreements in other territories on Podemos integrating into a coalition in Madrid. He stated that an agreement in all territories except Madrid would not imply an electoral penalty and that there the left-wing electorate could choose between the candidacies of Delgado and Colau or those of Montero and Rufián. Iglesias argued that Podemos and MM-FA could have run together in Madrid through primaries, but claimed that someone did not want that option. He added that agreements without primaries could be reasonable in places where the electoral system penalized division, although they were not essential in Madrid. Finally, he urged those who, in his opinion, impeded agreements like those in the Canary Islands and the Valencian Community to rectify and negotiate with Podemos in Andalusia, Galicia, Asturias, Murcia, the Basque Country, Castile, and La Rioja. https://t.co/liVgAhAk6Q #PaísValencià #Coalición #Izquierda (translated)

The Government of Catalonia is trying to reassign the former Secretary General of Education, Teresa Sambola, as the executive secretary of the CTESC after her dismissal due to the mistake in the PISA tests, but it faces doubts from some members of the organization regarding her political profile. #Nombramientos #Educación #Cataluña (translated)

The areas we must especially watch are the east of Catalonia, the surroundings of Cape Nao, the coasts of Alicante and Murcia, the Costa del Sol, and the Balearic Islands, especially the Pitiusas. "Sunday the 18th and Monday the 19th are shaping up to be the most adverse days," says Mar Gómez, meteorologist for eltiempo.es: "The areas we must especially watch are the east of Catalonia, the surroundings of Cape Nao, the coasts of Alicante and Murcia, the Costa del Sol, and the Balearic Islands, especially the Pitiusas. In some of these areas, accumulations of between 150 and 250 liters per square meter could be registered in a few hours, without ruling out higher amounts in localized areas," she notes. #Danas #LluviasTorrenciales #CambioClimático (translated)
