With more than three million followers, María Pombo is one of the influencers most famous in the Spanish state. That's why, whether she likes it or not, anything she does or any interaction she has on social media becomes news. This week, the youngest of the Pombo sisters—all of them influencers– has gone viral for making a derogatory comment about reading enthusiasts. In a video posted yesterday on TikTok, Pombo said: "I think we need to start getting over the fact that there are people who don't like to read and that you're no better at making them like reading." The Madrid native was responding to a follower's comment about Pombo's bookshelf, which the influencer He had dedicated a video to it. "The bookstore is beautiful, but if it were full of books that have been read, it would be even more so. Now, all I see is junk," said this follower.

Every summer Sunday, the ARA revisits some of the most controversial series in television history. The fifth installment is 24, the action series that followed an anti-terrorist agent

The word controversy It's lazy, especially in summer. Four syllables: controversy. When you go for the third one, it's already asleep, please don't give me a little controversy (what an uncontrollable desire for this twin, to end up saying: "controversy"). That's why there has been Controversy over the poster for the Fiestas de la Mercè It's neither hot nor cold. The bishopric has complained that the poster (which I find very pretty and, above all, with very little intention of "arguing") "violates the feelings of those who venerate and respect" the significance of Barcelona's patron saint. They also claim to accept "that the City Council wants to give an exclusively secular tone to the festival," but then they also express their "surprise at the fact that each year the poster introduces the use of religious elements."

The planned school for 120 students in Gaüses has been met with opposition for four years by a large portion of the village's just over 60 residents, which is part of the municipality of Vilopriu. According to residents, the majority oppose it, citing the town's size and fearing that undisclosed activities, such as concerts, might be planned. "The City Council promoted a modification of the subsidiary regulations to introduce educational use in the village, and it did so secretly and covertly," says Salvador Matas, architect and spokesperson for the opposing residents. "During the lockdown, they modified this planning, and the public disclosure period passed us by. The City Council operates in a way that is not transparent in its communication; everything is done in secret," adds Matas. "This generates a lot of mistrust; they don't report everything they do, and you never know what they're up to," opines Jordi, another opposing resident.
