From the letter A of Alicante, Albacete and Almería to the letter V of Valladolid and the X of Xixón. The thousands of people who overflowed onto Avenida Maria Cristina in Barcelona this Saturday celebrated with a shout of victory the name of each city that joined the first major national mobilization in defense of the right to housing. More than 40 Spanish towns and cities have coordinated their demands for more solutions to the housing emergency from the Spanish government—and the regional executives—whom they accuse of having focused their measures on tax breaks for property owners. "Today we have made history again," Carme Arcarazo, spokesperson for the Renters' Union, claimed in statements to the media before the rally.

His name is Arnaldo, he's 83 years old, and his is a story with a happy ending. Originally from Bologna, he found himself homeless because he couldn't pay his rent and ended up sleeping in his city's airport. The workers responded with solidarity: the newsstand worker gave him a newspaper every day, the cafeteria worker brought him food and drinks... and months went by, up to nine, until the City Council noticed his situation and offered him a place to live a year ago. Arnaldo's story is reminiscent of Dominico's. He's also Italian, 78 years old, and sleeps in Barcelona's El Prat Airport. However, Dominico hasn't been so lucky: Three weeks ago he saw himself thrown out of the airport, in a move by Aena to try to empty the infrastructure of the hundred homeless people who live there.

From baptising a club with his initials, BCM, and placing them, immense, in gold on the facade, to starring in one of the most notorious corruption cases in the history of the Balearic Islands. Bartomeu Cursach Mas, known as the king, the kingpin or even the godfather was the great mogul of Majorcan nightlife. And he still has power. This Monday, however, he was back in court. He is one of the 23 people –including politicians, civil servants, businessmen and policemen– who are indicted in a trial that is expected to last until April 2023, and bears Cursach's name. But the defendants' bench was significantly emptied out on the first day: Palma's Court has agreed to acquit six of those involved, after the accusations –including the Prosecutor's Officed– have withdrawn the charges they faced.
