Xavier García Albiol swept the 2023 municipal elections under the slogan "Badalonismo," an umbrella term for defending residents "regardless of ideology." He then captured pro-independence voters and from left-wing parties, with dirt and insecurity as key issues. Two years later, the mayor is already influencing Catalan and Spanish politics with episodes related to security, immigration, and illegal employment, including clashes with the national government. The latest and most controversial, the eviction of B9Occupied by 400 people. Is Badalona a laboratory for the PP or a showcase?

Morning news magazines' penchant for crime stories, dramatic stories, and other gruesome details is a television classic. But in recent weeks, these cases have taken on a much more subtle, informative approach. Let's see, from Telecinco, reported that an arsonist who had started a fire had been released. They also interviewed the mother of one of the victims because the defense had requested the release of the perpetrator. They connected with the mayor of Sant Feliu de Guíxols to explain the problem of recidivism in the town. They have a group of thieves who have been arrested more than forty times and who are quickly released again, causing frustration among citizens and security forces. On Antena 3, in the summer version ofPublic mirror, also reported the release of a man accused of starting a fire. They also reported that during Semana Grande (Big Week) in Bilbao, ETA members with bloody crimes had been honored by hanging their T-shirts in the street. The program interviewed relatives of victims of terrorism to assess this gesture.
