Red lines for agreeing

24 Dec 2023
Pedro Sánchez is crossing previously insurmountable lines in normalizing relations with political forces outside the traditional spectrum of Congressional pacts, such as with ERC, Junts, and EH Bildu. The Basque elections pose a challenge for the PNV, which is analyzing its electoral decline and has introduced Imanol Pradales as a new candidate. EH Bildu is distancing itself from its association with ETA and is following Sinn Féin's successful model in Northern Ireland, focusing on social discourse over independence. Sánchez's allowance for a EH Bildu mayor in Pamplona has caused scandal within the PP, which sees a potential future where EH Bildu could lead the Basque government. The current legislature will maintain a left-wing and plurinational block, but future alliances could shift, with the PP potentially aligning with PNV and Junts.

Bus-VAO: Fines of 200 euros?

18 Dec 2023
The local government of Murcia, led by Mayor José Ballesta, has decided to eliminate the restricted use of the bus lane on Avenida de la Constitución and Gran Vía, a move criticized for not prioritizing sustainable mobility. The article questions the enforcement of the new 'bus-VAO' system, which allows vehicles with more than two occupants and motorcycles to use the lane, and whether fines up to 200 euros will be imposed for non-compliance. The decision is seen as potentially revenue-driven due to the city's financial struggles, and it is argued that it contradicts the initial goal of promoting sustainable mobility.

The bike lane on the Old Bridge allows uninterrupted travel from the Espinardo Campus to El Rollo

14 Dec 2023
The Murcia City Council has reluctantly and belatedly decided to enable a directional bike lane on the Old Bridge as planned in the controversial mobility plan, which faced widespread rejection from residents and traders in the Carmen neighborhood. As of Wednesday, cyclists can use the designated bike area on the historic viaduct, allowing uninterrupted travel through the city from north to south and vice versa. This bike lane completes a nearly seven-kilometer network from the Espinardo Campus to El Rollo, a problematic bottleneck in the Carmen neighborhood. The Old Bridge is now the only viaduct in the city with a segregated and marked bike lane, increasing safety for cyclists. However, the City Council has not reconsidered the closure of the Old Bridge to private vehicle traffic, which compromises the mobility plan's goal of providing speed and efficiency to public transport.

Outrage over bus jams in Alameda de Colón

05 Dec 2023
Videos and images of bus traffic jams on Alameda de Colón in Murcia have gone viral, showing a long queue from El Rollo to Puente Viejo. The local council declined to comment when asked by the press. MurciaLab, a citizen platform, attributes the congestion to the premature opening of the avenue amidst ongoing construction, causing a bottleneck. Francisco Tomás Muñoz, union representative from Monbús, suggests the problem originates from a bottleneck at El Rollo and proposes a new traffic light synchronization or a reconfiguration of lanes to alleviate the issue.

Sánchez overcomes the investiture with flying colors and faces the even more difficult

17 Nov 2023
Pedro Sánchez has successfully been reelected as Spain's president with a larger majority than before, overcoming challenges from the right-wing, the pandemic, and inflation. The investiture vote in the Spanish Congress ended with 179 in favor and 171 against. Sánchez's presidency was previously thought to be at risk due to the territorial gains of the People's Party (PP), but his bold and persistent strategies paid off. The new term is marked by risky agreements with independence parties and the need to negotiate with Podemos outside the Sumar coalition. The political landscape is divided over territorial issues, with Sánchez's allies united in their opposition to the PP and Vox. The PP, led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has criticized Sánchez for alleged immoralities and for compromising the rule of law. The upcoming legislature will require Sánchez to manage complex alliances and navigate a challenging opposition.

Sánchez Passes the Investment with Flying Colors and Faces an Even Greater Challenge

16 Nov 2023
Pedro Sánchez has successfully secured a larger majority in the Spanish Congress for his investiture, with a vote of 179 to 171, despite facing opposition and criticism. His presidency has endured challenges from the pandemic, the far-right, and inflation. The new term is marked by risky alliances with separatist parties and a need to negotiate with Podemos, which seeks to act independently. The political landscape is divided over territorial issues, with Sánchez's allies united in their opposition to the PP and Vox. The PP, led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo, acknowledges Sánchez's legitimacy but criticizes his concessions. The upcoming legislature will require Sánchez to navigate complex alliances and opposition, with a government composition that reflects these challenges.

The drama of Spain, by Lola García

16 Nov 2023
In the investiture debate, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez positioned himself as a defender of democracy against the 'regressive right,' while opposition leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo aimed to 'save Spain.' The term 'humiliation' was central to the discourse, with PP and Vox protesting against perceived humiliations from deals with separatists, and separatists themselves using the term historically. Sánchez's speech focused on defending left-wing governance and the amnesty to heal wounds, while Feijóo's speech emphasized national pride. The political landscape is polarized between two dramatically opposed visions of Spain's future.

Amnesty puts Ballesta's Government on edge

06 Nov 2023
The local government of Murcia, led by Ballesta's party, has become more assertive in demanding additional public funds from the national government following a political pact between the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party and ERC. The councilor for Economic Management, José Francisco Muñoz, is advocating for an increase in state funding per inhabitant. The article suggests that the local government should also demand the regional administration take on some of the financial burdens that the municipality of Murcia currently bears. The text also raises the possibility of pedáneos or municipal board presidents following suit in demanding funds to address disparities with the city.

The Municipal Archive of Murcia digitizes 70 years of municipal registers and burial records from 1887 to 1922

05 Nov 2023
The Municipal Archive of Murcia has added around 100,000 new documents to its website, including municipal registers and burial records from the Cemetery of Our Father Jesus, spanning from 1887 to 1922. This was made possible through a collaboration with FamilySearch International, resulting in nearly 40,000 images from 90 municipal registers and over 53,000 images from 521 burial records, marking an increase of almost 100,000 new images.

Sánchez defends amnesty: there is no turning back

29 Oct 2023
Pedro Sánchez has made a definitive commitment to amnesty for those charged in the Catalan independence process, with negotiations with Junts on track but not yet finalized. The amnesty law is drafted, focusing on constitutionality to avoid annulment by the Constitutional Court. Discussions have included the definition of Catalonia as a nation and the concept of a 'national Catalan minority,' which was ultimately dismissed. The political agreement may address the origins of the Catalan conflict and democratic resolutions, with the role of an international mediator as a remaining hurdle. The electoral effects of the amnesty for both PSOE and Puigdemont's constituents are also under consideration.
