The war fronts are multiplying everywhere while Donald Trump continues to belittle NATO and opens wars from which he cannot emerge afterwards. In a context of growing global tension, this Thursday the British government revealed that Russia carried out a covert submarine operation in the North Atlantic, in waters near the United Kingdom, for more than a month. A month in which, as in the best moments of the Cold War, Russians and Westerners played the cat-and-mouse game. Because the Russian submarines were being watched at all times: the British frigates were responsible for making it evident.

The Mossos d'Esquadra have arrested an 81-year-old this Thursday in Manresa accused of issuing death threats against the president of the Generalitat, Pere Aragonès. The threats came in the form of three letters that also referred to other pro-independence leaders and which were intercepted by the Catalan police following the Generalitat's protocols. That is, they never reached Aragonès. Specifically, the missives were written in the first person plural, were signed in the name of "anti-independentistas" and insisted on the use of firearms against the president, as advanced by La Vanguardia and confirmed by the police. The alleged author of the threat was arrested on Thursday morning in Manresa, as the police felt the urge to act once they learnt the man held weapons in his home. Four handguns and seven long guns, for which he had a valid license, have been confiscated by police. The individual is being investigated for a crime of threats on ideological grounds and the police have released him.
