On the first anniversary of the devastating storm in the Valencian Community, marked by a state funeral, the most pressing issue is the 229 preventable deaths, a tragedy that will forever haunt the political leaders who failed to rise to the occasion, especially President Carlos Mazón. A man who was slow to arrive at the Civil Protection Coordination Center (CECOPIO) on that fateful day and is even slow to resign. According to World Weather Attribution, a collaborative forum of scientists specializing in the impact of the climate crisis, the storm of October 29th was 12% more intense due to global warming caused by greenhouse gases.

When Emmanuel Macron won the presidential election in 2017, the fake newsbegan to circulate in France: his partner, Brigitte Macron, was a transgender woman. Other first ladies or candidates, such as Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Begoña Gómez herself, have also been victims of the same sexist and transphobic rumor. Nothing new. Neither the Élysée Palace nor the media echoed it. But in 2021, everything changed.

In early July, the French courts acquitted two women who had claimed on social media that Brigitte Macron, the wife of the President of the French Republic, is transgender. In their comments, they listed the multiple surgeries she had allegedly undergone and claimed that she was not the biological mother of their children. A court ordered them to pay eight thousand euros to the first lady in September 2024, but they were acquitted ten months later, a decision that the Macrons appealed to the French Court of Cassation. Furthermore, her lawyer recently explained that Brigitte is determined to provide scientific and photographic evidence in court to "prove" that she is a woman, after the influencer ultra Candace Owens has dedicated several podcasts and a book to denying it.
