the defendant is the prosecutor, and the Government intends to try the judges

With the start of his trial this Monday before the Criminal Chamber of the Federal Supreme Court, Álvaro Garcia Ortiz made a shameful debut: becoming the first Democratic Attorney General to be tried for an alleged crime. In your case, one of revealing secrets, punishable by up to four years in prison, a fine and which could cost you your job. If this unprecedented situation could occur, it is because García Ortiz persisted in arriving at the oral hearing in possession of his position as attorney general.ignoring requests for dismissal from broad sectors of the prosecutor's career. And he not only attended the first session of the trial as head of the State Attorney General's Office: he made use of all the formal prerogatives that this condition confers on him. He wore the toga and all th...

Artificial intelligence and its financial house of cards

In recent weeks, you've probably come across a meme on social media that simulates several identical superheroes pointing at each other in bewilderment. Superimposed on their faces, company names like OpenAI, Nvidia, Oracle, Microsoft or AMD. However, the reason for this comical image should give us reason to reflect, if not to worry. The current awakening of generative artificial intelligence is based on losses and numbers that don't add up. After all, it is normal for investments in technology that are not yet mature to take time to turn into benefits. Up to this point it may even seem logical to us that companies like OpenAI is valued at $500 billion with just $13 billion in annualized revenue and estimated losses for 2026 at US$14 billion. We are talking about OpenAI currently having ...

commercial instability and gold speculation in the background

Wednesday was fulfilled a year after Trump's victory in the US presidential election. NY has gone sour. The election of a young Muslim and Democratic candidate is a slap in the face. Especially when Trump himself publicly spoke out against his candidacy. Trump Tower, a symbol of the president's economic power, is on Avenue V, near Central Park. But New Yorkers don't identify with him. Its basic electorate is based, above all, on the conservative horizon of the American Midwest and South. However, there is one area of ​​NY where Trump gets better news: Wall Street, the world's most important stock market, including futures and commodity trading. The Dow Jones Industrial Index rose in 2025. This year it went from 42,625 points on January 8th to 47,336 on November 3rd. A growth of 11%. What ...

The most controversial tweet of the week is this one from Sameera Khan. Sameera Khan is of Pakistani origin but resides in the United States.

A democratic and constitutional beating for Vito Quiles

To portray the supposed incoherence personified by the masked madmen who revolted last Thursday to put an end to the act of Vito Quiles At the University of Navarra, the well-known Pasolinian paradox was repeated ad nauseam: anti-fascists are the authentic fascists.But the truth is, no.Who gave a terrible beating to a reporter in this house They are not fascists: they are simply leftists. Leftists who have been extremely consistent with their progressive ideology, which is essentially a fundamentalist creed that equates dissent with heretical protection. Elaborating that when the left shows aberrant behavior it is because it behaves like the right, is not the rhetorical genius that liberal commentators believe in. Because by doing so they only force a political cartography that perpetuates...

The break under control with Junts takes Sánchez’s ‘social’ story to the polls

Given its inability to execute the General State Budgets for 2026, the Government endeavored to establish a narrative to make light of the absence of public accounts, arguing that it can govern perfectly with extensions for more than two years. However, Pedro Sanches surprised at the beginning of his political journey by confirming his intention to present the PGE bill for next year. And this commitment was reaffirmed several times. Why would Sánchez go to the trouble of taking the proposal to Congress if he knows in advance that he does not have the votes to approve the parliamentary vote? After all, the president could have repeated the modus operandi of the previous two years: they act out their vocation to present them, but finally give up on the sterile process and prolong those of t...

Without freedom there is no health

Taking advantage of the ten conferences organized by EL ESPAÑOL and the Camilo José Cela University on Freedom in the 21st centuryAs part of its 10th and 25th anniversary respectively, I thought about a topic that is not discussed in the cycle, as we cannot talk about everything: freedom and health.My father, Dr., said Juan Abarca CampalFor more than thirty years, freedom in healthcare is not the same as healthcare in freedom.My father argued that the important thing is that freedom can be exercised in health, because this leads us to act within a framework that, if it were the opposite (health in freedom), would not exist. And this would give rise to debauchery: to the law of the West in the area of ​​health. Something that, without control, would go against patients. But let's go to the ...

Mexico’s shameful aid to Cuba

The president trump described the Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum as "a wonderful woman" and praised her for her cooperation on migration, drugs and security.However, mysteriously, Trump says nothing about Mexico's significant increase in support for the Cuban dictatorship.Sheinbaum tripled subsidized oil supplies to Cuba since taking office last year, according to a report by the prestigious non-governmental group Mexicans Against Corruption and Impunity (MCCI).

Do we mark all the former Czechs in Madrid with plaques?

Columns WITHOUT LOSING TIRES If we take the fury of the signs to the extreme, someone might want to point out all those buildings that functioned as Czechs in Madrid during the Civil War. They walk Felix Bolaños and its democratic memory army desperate to put up plaques that recall the past of many buildings (preferably in Madrid) that, during the dark war and post-war years, saw their original purpose tarnished and became scenes of the savagery of one another. Now, the main objective of the commemorative hosts is the Real Correio, headquarters of the Government of the Community of Madri...
