After seeing humanoid robots running and winning the Beijing Half Marathon this weekend, anything is possible. Humanoid robots are no longer that broom handle with legs that stumbles and trips spectacularly, but they already have enough coordination to be running for 50 minutes faster than a person. The applications of the invention, military, labor, social, are so great that we must resort to the classic “the future is already here”. As I said, robots surpassed people, which is no longer news if we think that machines have been surpassing us in computing power for a long time. Therefore, the news is once again a geopolitical warning: the Chinese race in robotics is also going very fast. And us with Trump, the Strait of Hormuz and Rodalies.The progressive festival that Sánchez brought to Barcelona this weekend had a curious epilogue: The President of Brazil, Lula de Silva, went to pray for a while in the main nave of the Sagrada Família, where he gifted himself “a moment of peace, prayer and reflection in a place that inspires unity and hope”. This moment is very well, considering that politics does not grant any respite. Example: while Sánchez was gathering the left-wing parties in Barcelona, who was Feijóo meeting with? With the Venezuelan Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado. This morning, Machado was the guest at an informative breakfast in Madrid. And who introduced her to the audience? Felipe González, who runs in the opposite direction to Pedro Sánchez in everything.Finally, in more predictable territory, the Government and ERC are presenting today the Consortium for Investments in Catalonia, which will be the body responsible for monitoring the compliance of State investments in Catalonia. The investment consortium was one of the agreements included in Salvador Illa's investiture pact. This consortium must monitor the number and destination of investments, but also their execution, to prevent the amounts that Spanish governments, whether from PP or PSOE, allocate in budgets from being an approximate reference: less than half of the planned investments are executed. If you think about it coldly, how are we to see ourselves: creating an organism to ensure that the government complies with the budgets, that is, with the law. Hopefully it works, but allow me to express all my skepticism, based on real facts: governments make agreements, but senior officials, or unions, or a PP-VOX majority, will come along afterwards and decide.Good morning.

Pedro Sánchez has brought to Barcelona the Brazilian president, Lula; the Mexican president, Sheinbaum; the Colombian president, Petro, and the South African president, Ramaphosa, among other leaders of the global left and center-left, with whom he has already been meeting in recent years.Everyone has rushed to say that this is not an anti-Trump summit, but nowadays there is no more effective cement to unite the always individualist left than the current and egomaniacal president of the United States. So yes, it is a way of telling the world that the center-left is raising its voice against Trump. With the apparent endorsement, by the way, of Pope Leo, who is now openly speaking out against Trump. The choice of Barcelona is no coincidence. In socialist terms, it has it all: Collboni's mayoralty and Illa's Generalitat. In Madrid, this summit, with Ayuso and Almeida, could not take place. In Catalonia, the PP and Vox are minor, and at times, residual. In social terms, Barcelona was one of the capitals of the "No to war" against Iraq. And in national terms, Sánchez's message is twofold. To the world: "Do you see? The separatist problem in Catalonia has disappeared with me. There is no separatist problem in Catalonia." And in Catalonia: "Barcelona is a world capital when it passes through Spain." He already did it with the Spain-France summit, and now he has returned. In reality, Barcelona's capacity for attraction has often existed without the State and even against the State. Just one example: if the Pope comes to Barcelona in June (if there is fuel for planes then), it is because of the Sagrada Familia, a marvel of the modern world, in which the State has nothing to do. Barcelona always looks good.Speaking of all this, yesterday we were telling you that the new Minister of Finance had dismissed the possibility of Catalonia collecting income tax. Well, yesterday we heard that Aena –the airports– are also not touched.The company's president, Maurici Lucena, made a “serene call” to shareholders yesterday to remind everyone that the Constitution – no joke – prevents the State from ceding the governance of airports. At most, a bilateral consultative body can be created, but neither transfer nor co-management, at most coordination. In this way, he denied President Illa, who had said this week in Parliament that Catalonia would have immediate presence in governance. Well, what Aena has immediately responded with has been the exact opposite.Good morning.
