For Sánchez, Spain is the promised land. He promised there would be no evictions, and there are. He promised there would be no amnesty, and there was. Now, the European Prosecutor's Office is investigating whether the sewers were financed with European funds. The funds are not arriving, but they could have reached the sewers. Sánchez also promised there would be no corruption, and there is, and my goodness, the corruption that exists. Ana Rosa Quintana has reminded that in the first quarter of 2026 there were 4,005 evictions, a total of 25,000 a year and specifically 44 a day. (translated)

To get to know a little more about the opening act for BTS shows! Ana Belén Kim, better known as Anita B Queen, is an Argentine artist of South Korean descent who gained significant prominence in the vibrant Buenos Aires music scene. Although she felt a deep connection to music from a young age, she began her journey as a DJ in 2018, after spending several years organizing electronic music events. Starting in the house scene, she expanded her repertoire by joining the artistic collective SWERV in 2019, where she began to experiment with a wide variety of urban sounds and with Afro and Latin influences, such as hip hop, trap, afrobeats, Brazilian funk, and drum and bass, among others. In 2021, Anita joined the band of the multi-award-winning singer Ca7riel during the launch of his solo album, El Disko, and has been touring with him ever since. Her connection to music and people, combined with the meteoric rise of her career, has led her to perform at the most recognized parties and clubs in Argentina. From iconic clubs in Buenos Aires like Under Club, Crobar, and Groove, to stadiums like Monumental and festivals like Primavera Sound and Lollapalooza, Anita has conquered the most important stages in the country. During her last European tour, she performed in Germany and Spain, playing at renowned clubs like Antídoto in Madrid, and Mondo and Molotov in Vigo. More recently, in one of her most attended performances to date, she was in charge of opening the shows for Skrillex and Fred Again at Lollapalooza Buenos Aires. Her vibrant live sets are characterized by a fusion of Latin and urban sounds combined with a hypnotic electronic atmosphere, all accompanied by a magnetic and dynamic stage presence.

The prescription of the sports crime in the FCB case should not influence in the slightest the withdrawal of titles. No federation of any sport would consent to having in its palmarès a team or an athlete whose cheating has been proven. It doesn't matter if it is proven one or fifty years later. Here, the chief referee was paid and the titles must be removed from their palmarès. This is not something decided by a court (to which the hypothetical prescription affects) but by a private competition like LaLiga and a sports federation. Of course, they can do it and of course they would do it in any other circumstance or country that was not Spain or where the FCB was not the offender. We cannot normalize anything else.

A serious league would punish City. Either relegation or -30 points or whatever. I'm sure it will happen. Here in Spain, we have been dealing with the Negreira case for 3 years, and in the end, it will amount to nothing. (translated)
