If all goes well during this Saint John's Eve festival, San Andrés de la Barca will purify evil spirits with bonfires and will also debut the giant murals that seven artists are currently painting in different parts of this town in Baix Llobregat. The goal is not only to have an aesthetic impact on the party walls where the muralists are working, but the idea is to "recover and reclaim local identity" through art, explains Ramon Ferrer, Culture Technician at the City Council.

This Monday, the RDM workers' committee in Castellbisbal is once again convening a meeting they would have preferred to avoid. It will be the second meeting with the management of the Italian cardboard packaging company to discuss the dismissal of the 237 workers at the plant, affected by the redundancy plan (ERE) that has been hanging over their bosses since January. The closure of this factory has met with outright rejection from the unions, the town council, and also that of Sant Andreu de la Barca—where about seventy of the employees are from—who are suspicious of the owners' intentions to cash in on the land.

Today, Oriol Junqueras and Xavier Trias will testify before the congressional commission on Operation Catalunya. Good luck. You already know that Operation Catalunya is a series of illegal activities organized or protected, tolerated, and ignored by Mariano Rajoy's government, including the fabrication of false evidence, espionage, and the misuse of public funds. And yet, the Spanish justice system hasn't lifted a finger to investigate it, because justice is Spanish before justice.

Every September for the past seven years, the nine teachers from the El Palacio Institute in San Andrés de la Barca who were singled out on October 1st relive the legal ordeal they suffered when they were accused of abusing the children of Civil Guards. The reason? If new students search for them on Google, the first results that appear are those of the legal case against them, which has since been closed. Also, the article where The World published his name, surname and photographs and that ended up on a cover that the then Cs leader, Albert Rivera, used to point them out as "separatist teachers." In November 2024 The last judicial file opened against the teachers was closed, who lament the "personal strain" and "enormous suffering" over these years, where they have felt alone and without support from either the Generalitat or the City Council. Now they want justice on two fronts: on the one hand, erasing the "infamous" digital footprint of the accusations against them on the internet and, on the other, achieving moral reparation for the damage that includes a plan to protect teachers from persecution for what they express in the classroom.

A bar worker was arrested last night accused of a crime of injuries after handing herself in at a local police station in Sant Andreu de la Barca (Baix Llobregat). She explained that she had cut off her boss's penis: when he tried to sexually assault her, she defended herself with a knife. The man, who owns the bar where the woman worked, was taken to hospital, where he is still receiving medical attention. The police have arrested the woman, who is now in police custody.
