From this ruling by the High Court of Justice of Catalonia against Catalan (I say “against Catalan” because it seeks to prevent our language from being “armored” in classrooms) a clear conclusion can be drawn: only a state of its own guarantees the legal protection that any official language has in its own territory. It shouldn't necessarily be this way: in a truly plurinational state, Catalan would be as Spanish as Castilian. But that's not the case, and I don't think I'm mistaken if I say it never will be. The only language we have a constitutional duty to know is Castilian. This is proclaimed by Article 3 of the 1978 Constitution, which at the end also states that “the different linguistic modalities of Spain” are a richness “that will be the object of special respect and protection”. Well, it's good that they protect Catalan!  

They obtained more than 700 boxes of fertility treatments at no cost using over 500 forged prescriptions. They then sold the drugs below market price to women who couldn't afford them and sought alternatives on websites like Wallapop and Milanuncios. This public healthcare fraud, targeting women trying to become mothers, amounts to €226,000. Those implicated included a primary care center employee and a pharmacist from Sant Adrià de Besòs, the director of a fertility clinic in Palma, and two women from Seville, a mother and daughter. Although almost all of them tried to evade responsibility by presenting themselves as victims of the scam, all five have been convicted. sentenced to barely minimum terms a decade after the fraud with a sentence handed down a year after the trial.

Two-year disqualification, fine, and compensation for Isabel Díaz Ayuso's partner. condemnation of the Attorney General of the StateÁlvaro García Ortiz arrived at the Supreme Court this Thursday, the 50th anniversary of Franco's death, unexpectedly. He arrived even earlier than anticipated, and in fact, the sentence had not yet been drafted. Who are the five judges of the criminal division who made this decision?

Google has managed to avoid one of the harshest penalties it faced for violating antitrust laws, which the courts had already confirmed in 2023. The US Department of Justice wanted to force Google to divest from its Chrome search engine as a measure to limit the effects of the company's monopolistic practices, but. However, the same ruling prohibits it from using exclusivity contracts that oblige users to use Chrome, and Google will also have to share search data with its competitors.

The sentence took almost two years to arrive, but it was finally ruled in favor. at the Barcelona law firm that in 2021 brought 56 errors in the Christmas Lottery draw to court. that had not been corrected immediately, as the regulations state. Those who heard the children of Sant Ildefons call out their number as the winner of a minor prize never collected it: they were incorrect, and the official list sent to the authorities includes the correct numbers, not the ones actually called out. However, during the live drawing, no one reported the error, nor did they focus in detail on the consolation prize balls with the correct number, as is the case with the big prizes. Now, a judge in Madrid has noted the "negligence" of the draw workers who, just a few centimeters from the wires, were supposed to supervise the children calling out the numbers: "They neglected their duty to supervise the drawing operations," she states, adding that none of the fifty errors were corrected live.

This is the sentence that the Barcelona Court has handed down this Tuesday to the man who was tried for sexually assaulting Yaqui in April 2021, and which is included in a sentence to which the ARA has had access. At that time, she did not have papers and was looking for work as a caregiver on the Milanuncios portal. The man, who was 68 years old, contacted her and took her to an apartment in El Prat de Llobregat making her believe that she was going to a job interview. There he sexually assaulted her. After the assault, the convicted man warned the victim that if she reported him he would have her deported.

Organisations against linguistic immersion have created a common front to expand precautionary measures setting a minimum 25% of teaching hours in Spanish at a school of Canet de Mar to other schools across Catalonia. A dozen organizations, including Societat Civil Catalana (SCC), S'ha Acabat and Asamblea por una Escuela Bilingüe de Catalunya (AEB), have presented a campaign called Escuela de Todos - Escola de Tothom to channel and process petitions by families who want to sue Catalan schools so that the Supreme Court establishing the 25% minimum is executed. The goal, however, is to put pressure on the Generalitat to put Spanish and Catalan on level footing as classroom languages, which the organisations believe is necessary following the ruling.
