Font size

In the PSOE they have described as a "truly barbaric" the preparation by the Ministry of the Interior of a dossier of journalists with files, photographs and comments on their political affiliation revealed this Tuesday by El Confidencial. Sources from the party leadership, in any case, exempt the head of this department, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, from responsibility for a fact that they consider "tremendous."

According to the aforementioned news, the information about dozens of active communication professionals is accompanied by phrases such as "supports the Government", "aligned with right-wing positions", "recognized 'anti-sanchista'", "is critical of the amnesty", ""moderate", "recently more combative", "against the independence movements"...

"I absolutely do not like any list in which anyone is classified either by their thoughts, or by their ideology, or by their race, or by anything," stated, in turn, the spokesperson for the socialists in Congress, Patxi López, when asked about this issue at a press conference. "I hope the Ministry will give explanations," he added without going into more details.

For their part, the Federation of Journalists' Associations (FAPE) and the Association of Parliamentary Journalists (APP) have condemned the document prepared by the Interior which, they denounce, classifies dozens of media professionals based on their ideological orientation, and demand that this type of practices "immediately cease"

Sources from the Ministry have told Efe that it is an "internal information" document and that the Communication Office "serves all media and journalists, without distinctions."

Spain asks the EU to extend the fiscal escape clause to green spending to address climate change

The Spanish Government has asked the European Commission to extend the national escape clause to green spending to address climate change, seeking to temporarily deviate from its budgetary obligations to assume the growing costs of adaptation and reconstruction in the face of extreme environmental phenomena such as fires, floods and droughts. The proposal, promoted by Minister Sara Aagesen, is based on the damage caused by events such as DANA in Valencia and forest fires, which have generated million-dollar losses in Spain and the EU. Economists such as Diego Rodríguez and Raymond Torres debate the viability of the measure, warning about the heterogeneity of green investments and the pressure from the markets in the absence of Eurobonds.
