David Broncano, presenter of 'La Revuelta', the entertainment show on La 1, has chanted the mea culpa hours after interviewing the leader of Vox and candidate for the November 29 general elections, Santiago Abascal. The RTVE presenter has shown himself to be "sad," because he believes he was "wrong" in how he approached the meeting with the Vox leader, moving away from the comedic register that usually characterizes the show. Broncano's apologies come hours before the interview with the Front Amplio candidate and former mayor of Barcelona, Ada Colau.

Only a few days after the former mayor of Barcelona and presidential candidate for the Broad Front in the general elections of November 29, Ada Colau, demanded from the Hotel Ritz in Madrid a tax hike on the highest incomes, the tax the rich has left its mark on the dialogue between the parties and the small and medium-sized Catalan companies. In the now traditional "SMEs debate", organized by the business association Pimec and which aspires to bring together the main political groups running for a seat in the Congress of Deputies, the debate on taxation has drawn the lines between political blocs 20 days before election day. In the debate, however, not all of the number ones participated: Gabriel Rufián was absent, alleging "scheduling reasons".

The National Police arrested 12 members of the far-right organization Núcleo Nacional this Friday as part of an operation coordinated by a court in Gijón. The arrests took place in different parts of the State, following an investigation initiated due to the disturbances recorded in the Asturian city. The detainees are accused of illicit association and a hate crime, as reported by Eldiario.es. The National Police confirmed to ARA the arrest of 12 members of the far-right organization Núcleo Nacional, and sources from the Ministry of the Interior state that the operation remains open and that searches are being carried out in several provinces.

In 1999, a young student named Pierre Poilievre wrote an essay in which he stated that "politics should not be a lifelong career, and elected officials should not be allowed to entrench themselves in the corridors of a nation's power". Today that same student is the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada and, at 47 years old, has accumulated 23 years in institutional positions. This phenomenon, the act of living exclusively from the exercise of public office, is known in political science as the professionalization of politics and can entail some risks.

From Monday, November 23rd, until the closing of polling stations on the night of November 29th, the Organic Law of the General Electoral Regime (LOREG) prohibits the publication of polls, surveys, and barometers that could influence the decision of voters. Barring any unforeseen circumstances of force majeure, the campaigns of the nearly fifty parties and coalitions aspiring to obtain representation in Congress and the Senate will focus, at least on paper, on responding to the citizens' concerns and imposing their own agenda to differentiate themselves from the rest of the political options.

At the beginning of this week, the PP planned to focus its pre-election speech on security. Hence, on the day of the Toledo train accident, Alberto Núñez Feijóo was in Barcelona. The Popular Party had called the media at noon to Plaça Urquinaona to visit the shops affected by the looting. The message, which he had already deployed the day before from Madrid, was that only a Popular Party government could guarantee "order" and firmness in the face of unrest. However, the crash between the AVE and the Iryo on the Madrid-Andalusia line changed all plans. Feijóo rushed back to the Spanish capital and at 4:15 p.m. summoned the press to the party headquarters on Génova Street to react to the tragedy.

Almost 400 podcast episodes later, a resident of the Bages region could hold one of the keys to connecting with the youth vote in the next general elections. Jordi Wild, or Jorge Carrillo de Albornoz Torres (Manresa, 1984), has turned The Wild Project into one of the benchmark podcasts in the digital ecosystem in Spanish. Now, a few weeks before the elections, the content creator has managed to get Pedro Sánchez, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, Ada Colau, and Santiago Abascal to agree to step up to his microphones. The four interviews will be published on November 13, in a gamble that places a youtuber at the center of the communication strategy of the main candidates for Moncloa.

More than half a hundred constituencies, dozens of parties and three maps so you don't get lost among the ballots. The Official State Gazette (BOE) published this Wednesday the candidacies for Congress for the general elections of November 29th. Although the parties, coalitions, and electoral groups can still file allegations, the electoral board already outlines the options that citizens will find at the polls in the 52 constituencies.

Applause, hugs, and smiles were not lacking this Monday at the Junts headquarters in Barcelona. The sovereignist party is smiling again with a new step towards the normalization of Catalan political life: the return of former ministers Toni Comín and Lluís Puig, who participated in person in the party's executive meeting after nine years of exile. The joy, however, is not complete. The polls are not in their favor and point to a possible electoral decline on November 29th, a symptom of the difficulties of their political strategy to convince the electorate. According to the polls collected by ARA, the sovereignist party could lose up to half of its seats in the upcoming elections, with an average of projections that places them between four and five deputies in Congress.

She had never considered dedicating herself to politics. Now she is the new head of the PSC list for Lleida in the general elections of November 29th. "In my life, everything is the result of coincidences," explains Cristina Morón (Lleida, 1979) with a laugh. For several years, she was the point person for the dependency law at the Lleida City Council, where she worked as a social worker. After a conversation with Fèlix Larrosa, she received an offer to enter municipal politics. Now, a new unexpected proposal has changed her plans once again: "It was four-thirty in the afternoon and I received a WhatsApp call from a number I did not have registered, and it says: 'I am Salvador Illa, can you talk?'", explains Morón regarding the conversation in which she was proposed to head the PSC list for Lleida in Congress, after the resignation of Montse Mínguez. The decision came to her with little time to think it over, half an hour before the party's national council began. "Imagine how my heart was pounding," she recalls in conversation with the ARA.

The president of the Popular Party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has entered the debate on the minimum interprofessional wage (SMI) and the taxation of labor income with statements that do not fully align with reality. In an interview this Friday on Cadena SER, the popular leader claimed that the Spanish government has made "a good deal" with the minimum wage increases because, according to him, the State collects more money through social security contributions and personal income tax (IRPF).

For days, the Broad Front and Podemos have been blaming each other for the failure of left-wing unity ahead of November 29th. The candidacy led by Ada Colau boasts of having brought together fifteen different parties under its banner, although the four main parties have been the ones leading the way: Comuns, Sumar, Más Madrid, and United Left (IU). Now there will be fourteen, as confirmed by ARA, because one of the two sects that had joined has pulled out of the Broad Front. The Humanist Party, founded in 1984 under the umbrella of the IU—and which left two years later amidst accusations of sectarianism—, has finally rejected the offer after consulting its membership.

“There are owners who are afraid because, if a squatter enters their home, with a paper that proves they have ordered a pizza, no one can kick them out for a few years.” The PP candidate for the general elections, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, said this on Wednesday at an event in Seville, where he outlined his party's proposals on housing. According to the conservative leader, a person could prove their residence in a home with what has become popular as "the pizza method".

In the eyes of the majority of the population, the Senate may seem like a representative chamber with little utility in the day-to-day of parliamentary politics. However, the electoral call has shown that it is a contested terrain because it can become a counterweight capable of pressuring or obstructing the action of the Spanish government, just as the People's Party has done from the opposition over the last few years. But, depending on the majorities that emerge from November 29, the right could even aspire to make deeper changes: even to the Constitution.

Money has a peculiarity: it is essential to support a family, but it remains one of the topics that is hardest to talk about. How much does each person earn? What belongs to both? What can be spent without consulting the other? What debts are there? What savings? And, above all, what happens when one of the members of the couple decides that a part of this information is theirs alone?
