Today it is Barcelona's turn in the teachers' protests and the strikers have gathered in one of the most visible places in the city, the Sagrada Família. These strikes that teachers are carrying out by regions are multiplying the effect of the sector in struggle and are making the crisis long for the Government.Meanwhile, the Government is preparing for this week, which will be the staging of the budget agreement between the Government, Esquerra and Comuns.While Esquerra is convening the national council today to give the green light to the budgets, President Salvador Illa is going to Sant Sadurní d’Anoia today to present the initiative for the orbital railway line, the result of the agreement between the Government and Esquerra.

Sometimes victory tastes like defeat. This is the case of Juanma Moreno Bonilla's PP in Andalusia. In historical perspective, the result of these elections does nothing more than consolidate conservative hegemony in a territory that had been a granary of socialist votes. But politically, for Moreno Bonilla and his Andalusian and moderate path, having to make a pact with Vox is a tragedy because it affects the heart of his political discourse. We will have to see how he manages it after having said that the dilemma of these elections was "either an absolute majority or a mess".

This Sunday, elections are being held in Andalusia that could be key to the political future of the State. To get closer to the reality of this territory, we have sent Toni Soler there.

Andalusia is the last stop before the municipal elections and the general elections scheduled for 2027. The most populated region of the State ends the regional electoral cycle that began on December 21 in Extremadura and that, five months later, culminates in a key event to measure the forces of the PP, the PSOE, Vox and the alternative left. After the elections in Aragon on February 8 and in Castile and Leon on March 15 drew a panorama practically identical to Extremadura, with PP victories insufficient to govern alone, these elections could mean a change of script for the popular party, under the leadership of the Andalusian president, Juanma Moreno.

“My male friends lean to the far right, but women remain sensible”. This is what Andalusian poet Aurora Luque told the newspaper El País}, in the run-up to the Andalusian elections. Every election —and especially regional ones, where the relationship with the candidates is more direct— has its peculiarities. The current Andalusian president, Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla, came to the Junta in 2019, after 40 years of socialist hegemony. With a kind and unassertive style —far from the aggressive, fixed-agenda politics of Núñez Feijóo and his circle—, he has earned a certain respect that, in practice, translates into limited wear and tear, allowing him to attract votes beyond his usual base, both from the right (from Vox) and the left (from the PSOE itself). And this in a land that had been a socialist stronghold.

We arrive at Easter, at the school holidays, the departure operations and the monas, stating that the return will be tough. Everything is rising due to the war in Iran, and since the end of the war is not in sight, the damage to our pockets from this inflation will last for a few weeks, at least. Yesterday evening, Trump pulled ten more days of ultimatum deadline out of the hat for the ayatollahs, while he systematically lies every day (and a lot, because he doesn't stop talking) just to prevent oil from continuing to rise in price and the stock markets from continuing to sink. He just keeps saying the war is won, but the Strait of Hormuz continues to be dominated by Iran, and the regime has not fallen. Meanwhile, in Spanish politics, there has been the announced change that could influence the future of the common financing system that applies to us. Yesterday, Vice President Montero resigned to go to Andalusia and his replacement will be Carlos Cuerpo, until now Minister of Finance. A doctor in economics, polyglot, technician, he does not have a PSOE membership card, a man who does not shout, an economist prepared to sit in Brussels or Washington or wherever; nothing to do with the mercurial Montero. And his place at the Ministry of Finance is taken by Arcadi España, a Valencian from President Ximo Puig's circle, who considers himself a federalist, who has often denounced how poorly funded the Valencian Community is, and who will have to move forward, seemingly with conviction, with the new system agreed with Esquerra. They say that in the PSC they are happy with España's appointment. But however federalist and aware he may be of the poor funding of the Valencian Community, can a socialist minister change anything about the distribution of money? This is the big question and the precedents are not precisely reassuring.

Monday, The Anthill He invited the president of the Andalusian Regional Government, Juanma Moreno Bonilla. Pablo Motos was still recovering from the Marc Giró tsunami on the last show and found solace in the PP politician. With elections about to be called, the interview can be considered the first act of the pre-campaign. In fact, right at the beginning, Motos asked him about the election date, which Moreno Bonilla placed in June.

The week is off to a bad start for the government and for all of us who believe that governing a country with the 2023 budget is not serious. Everything has come to a head this weekend. We had reached Friday with the agreement between the Government and the Commons to approve the budgetsAll that remained was the arithmetically indispensable "yes" from Esquerra, and on Friday morning, President Illa made what is now called "a gesture" to Esquerra: he stated his commitment to one of Esquerra's conditions: that the Generalitat collect 100% of the personal income tax. And he put it this way:
