Disabled exploitation probe

By Dave Proctor

BENIDORM BAR: Customers are given the option to ‘rent’ people with achondroplasia.

A BRITISH disco pub in Benidorm is under investigation

by Public Prosecutors for possible offences relating to the hiring out of dwarves.

A board outside the entrance of the establishment read: ‘Wanna Rent a Midget?? Ask at Bar.’ The bar’s Facebook account also reportedly contained photos of clients posing with a man with dwarfism wearing various costumes.

According to Spanish press, the lawyer for the Alpe Achondroplasia Foundation, Felipe Orviz, said

the message on the sign is an ‘attack’ against the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

The matter is now under investigation as to whether the practice is a hate crime against people with dwarfism.

WE should all realise by now that Spain goes to the polls again this Sunday May 26. There are hundreds of political posters and banners appearing in every town and village, all extolling the virtues of their candidates and parties.

Now, as these elections are for the European Parliament and for the local councils, anybody who is resident here and properly registered can vote, because, unlike the Spanish general election, you do not have to be a Spanish national to vote.

So who to vote for?

Here is a party-by-party guide to the main parties involved in the election.

Podemos (which translates as ‘we can’) is a left-wing anti-austerity party led by Pablo Iglesias. The party was founded in the wake of the previous European economic crisis and seeks to overturn austerity measures. They seek to address inequality, unemployment and economic malaise with a socialist agenda.

PSOE (The Spanish Socialist Workers Party) is led by the current prime minister Pedro Sanchez and is the largest party by the number of seats held in the Congress of Deputies. They describe themselves as social democratic, centre-left and progressive, and are distinctly pro-European.

ACTION: Almeria Province’s Tabernas Desert has long been a favourite for filmmakers.

Europe’s Hollywood THIS picture of a Wild West film set in Almeria Province comes as new figures show movie making was responsible for an investment of almost €123.8 million into Spain last year.

The Spanish Film Commission’s data showed the Treasury netted almost €8.7 million in payments for social security from film contracts in 2018. The film industry contracted a total of 21,809 people during the year, according to the Commission.

One of the latest productions, the

US-made neo-Western The Sisters Brothers starring Joaquin Phoenix and John C Reilly, had a budget of around €38 million for shooting in Spain. It was shot in Navarra’s Urbasa-Andia natural park in the summer of 2017.

Spain has long been a favourite for filmmakers, particularly those from the US who sought locations for Western films in the 1950s and 1960s.

Texas Hollywood-Fort Bravo, Mini Hollywood and Western Leone were all built in Almeria Province’s

Tabernas Desert as sets for the Spaghetti Westerns.

A Fistful of Dollars, Vengeance and Boot Hill were among the Westerns shot on location in the desert.

Other films including the epics Lawrence of Arabia, El Cid and King of Kings were also made there.

Recent years have seen US TV series Game of Thrones shoot in various locations across Spain. The British film Off the Rails and the US move Wonder Woman 1984 were both shot in Spain last year, in Mallorca and Almeria City respectively.

Climber found A MUMMIFIED body found by a hiker on the Cerro Rincon in the Argentine province of Mendoza is believed to be that of Valencian mountaineer, Mateo Parrilla, who disappeared 29 years ago whilst on a lone climb on the ridge.

The hiker discovered the body on May 12 and notified the authorities. When the corpse was extracted from a lower glacier, it was ‘totally mummified,’ with a backpack on its back, which makes the rescue unit think the person was walking along the edge of the path and fell.

Parrilla disappeared on January 18, 1990, when he was climbing the mountain, which rises to 5,365 metres, and it is believed the body was found high in the mountains. At the time, search teams explored the area, but could not find him. Paperwork found with the body and the fact Parrilla is the only missing person unaccounted for in the area, leads police to assume the corpse is his. Forensic scientists are now engaged in the formal identification of the body.

Strange oaths

CHAMBER: Les Corts Valencianes where newly-elected members took their places.

IN Les Corts, the Valencian parliament, the newly-elected members took their places and the initial job was for each of them to swear an oath.

Normally, the official will read the oath and the new member simply says that ‘yes he promises,’ or ‘yes I swear.’

First up this year were the members of Vox, the populist right-wing party, which for the first time has representation in Les Corts. Each of them in turn placed their hand on a bible and instead of the normal oath, said ‘I swear by God and by Spain.’

Not to be outdone, various alternative versions were made by those Parliamentarians which oppose Vox.

Fran Ferri, the Ombudsman of the Valencian Coalition included to defend the ‘rights and freedoms’ of the LGTBI people; first secretary of the Bureau of Les Corts, Cristina Cabedo, added to ‘continue with the feminist struggle,’ and parliamentarian Ferran Martinez added to ‘defend the self-government of Pais Valencia.’

The deputy responsible for the Environment area in the previous term, Beatriz Gasco, promised to continue working for a ‘mother earth alive and in harmony,’ and left-wing, Esquerra Unida, Rosa Perez (co-ordinator of the party) and Estefania Blanes promised in their position as deputies to ‘work for a more just and supportive country,’ and fight ‘for the equality and freedom of the working class.’

THE Cuididanos (Citizens) party candidate for the upcoming European election, Jose Ramon Bauza, has put forward a proposal for an ‘Erasmus’ scheme for people over 65.

The current Erasmus scheme is a European Union concept to help students in further education to travel and study abroad, in other countries of the EU. Bauza said: “It is about making it easier for our elders so they can know European destinations which in many cases in other circumstances they could not access, and also live an enriching intergenerational experience.”

He also added that such a scheme could have direct benefits to the off-season tourist trade.

Pet home IN Alzira, a woman faces a fine of €25,000 for housing 60 cats and seven dogs in her suburban house.

The proceedings, which have been instituted by the City Council relate to her carrying out the activity of refuge or shelter (zoological centre) for companion animals ‘without having the mandatory environmental intervention licence.’

It adds that, at the same time, this activity is not compatible with the current urban planning ‘since the livestock use, which includes the housing of animals, cannot accommodate a number of animals greater than eight heads.’

The number of animals has led to previous complaints being made by neighbours against the householder and a previous fine.

Speed machine A TEAM from the University of Valencia has developed a ‘hyperloop’ vehicle, with which they are through to the World Hyperloop IV competition in America, sponsored by Elon Musk of Tesla.

Only five university teams are through to the final in July and the Valencian team is hopeful of success. The hyperloop technology is based on sending a pod, containing freight or passengers down a partially vacuumed tube so that with the reduced air pressure, aircraft speeds can be achieved on the ground.

The Valencian team has named its vehicle the ‘Turian’ and has reported it can achieve acceleration of 0 to 100kmph in 1.9 seconds.

On the full-length track in America, the team hopes the ‘Turian’ will be able to reach a speed of 430kmph.

Boris’ sister MEP candidate Rachel Johnson - “no appetite for Brexit”

By Tara Rippin AHEAD of the UK’s controversial participation in this week’s European Parliament elections, the Euro Weekly News caught up with new party Change UK’s best-known candidate Rachel Johnson, in Gibraltar.

Daughter of former MEP Stanley Johnson, and sister to high-profile MPs Boris and Jo, Rachel announced she would enter the political fray herself with the UK’s most recent proremain party.

The well-known journalist and social figure, who is standing for Change UK in Gibraltar and South West, took time out of her campaign schedule to speak to the EWN during a whirlwind 12-hour stop on the rock.

Candidate Johnson first met with Chief Minister for Gibraltar, Fabien Picardo, at the headquarters of Her Majesty’s Government of Gibraltar at Covent Place, where he said he “could

see Change UK having more of a future in Westminster rather than Europe.”

Explaining her motives for getting involved with Change UK, Johnson said she has lost faith in Parliament to find a solution before the October 31 Brexit deadline.

She added: “Nobody knows what’s going on from one minute to the next… there’s no appetite for any sort of Brexit

and no majority for Theresa May’s deal.” Asked what words she had for Britons living in Spain and Gibraltar, Johnson said: “Keep calm. These things need a lot of negotiation, but British people in Spain are not going to be thrown under the bus, by the UK or Spain, that’s not grown up politics.

ETA leader arrested THE former head of Basque terror group ETA’s political wing has been arrested in France after 17 years on the run.

Jose Antonio Urruticoechea Bengoechea, known as Josu Ternera, was arrested in the southeast of France by the French police acting on information from the Spanish Guardia Civil.

Urruticoechea, who fled Spain in 2003, joined ETA in the 1980’s, where he became head of the group’s political apparatus. In 1989 he was arrested in Bayonne and a year later he was sentenced to 10 years in prison.

After his release he was expelled by the French authorities and handed over to Spain on May 4, 1996. The Spanish National Court prosecuted him for belonging to an armed gang, then in June 1996 he was charged with a 1986 bombing in Madrid in which 12 Guardia Civil officers died.

In 1998, he was elected a member of the Basque Parliament on the lists of the separtist Euskal Herritarrok political party.

He was summoned to testify on two occasions before the Supreme Court to clarify whether he gave the order for a car bombing on the headquarters of the Guardia Civil in Zaragoza in 1987, in which 11 people died, including five children.

He fled Spain in November 2002 on being charged with the attack and since then he has been missing. In 2018 he voiced a video announcing the disbanding of ETA. ETA killed more than 800 people during its campaign of violence before declaring a ceasefire in 2011.

Spain targeted by illegal immigrants ACCORDING to information released by the European Border Agency Frontex, the number of illegal immigrants to arrive in the EU is down, except in Spain.

The decline in April against March was 19 per cent overall, but for Spain the number doubled to

900 making a total for the year so far of 6,300 (more than 25 per cent of all illegal immigrants detected arriving in the EU).

In the past, both Greece and Italy have seen the largest number of arrivals, but they have both experienced significant declines although Greece

still sees large numbers arriving at its borders.

As is to be expected, because of its proximity to North Africa and its long coastline, the majority of those arriving in Spain come by sea and are generally from Morocco and Sub-Saharan Africa.

FUELLING STRIFE: The World Inequality Lab said the growing gap between rich and poor is enflaming political issues.

Inequality and political strife

by Joe Gerrard RISING inequality in Spain is fuelling political strife and internal divisions, global economists have warned as another NGO claimed more Spanish families are slipping below the poverty line.

The World Inequality Lab, a group of economists which

headed by Thomas Piketty, stated political division had grown in line with rising inequality in the wake of the last recession.

“We believe that inequality, linked to austerity, unemployment and economic scarcity in general, is one of the main causes of the political instability the country is going through,” the authors of the re-

port told Spanish media. “In general, both the initial boom of Podemos, the Catalan independence situation and now the rise of Vox can be understood as different responses to a shared economic malaise,” they added.

The report found that although average incomes in Spain rose above pre-2007 levels for the first time in 2017, gains were concentrated among the wealthiest. The poorest 90 per cent saw wages rise by 2 per cent while the richest 1 per cent saw increases of 24 per cent.

Save the Children has also claimed that more than two fifths single-mother families are at risk of poverty, and that a quarter live in extreme hardship.

It comes as the Catholic Church’s Caritas Foundation claimed more than one half of families with only one working member face greater risks of poverty and social exclusion.

The organisation claimed labour reforms undertaken by the previous conservative Partido Popular (PP) government increased the amount of temporary work, cutting salaries and hours.

What to do in the event of an emergency in Spain LIVING in Spain can bring with it an array of issues which may not have been encountered when living in the UK. There are lots of things to consider, and we are here to help try to make the transition and life in Spain a little easier by compiling a series of helpful facts and figures relating to a variety of topics.

HERE in Spain there is a general number for all emergencies, 112.

No area code is needed and the number can be called from any phone, including mobiles without a Spanish SIM card.

The responders speak a number of languages, and you can also fax or SMS 112.

In addition, there are individual emergency numbers, depending on the type of assistance you need.

It’s a good idea to keep a printout of them handy, in your bag or wallet, in the home and in the car.

And it can’t hurt to have a few helpful Spanish medical/emergency terms written down, just in case you don’t get an English-speaking member of staff.

National Police, also known as National Police Corps (Cuerpo Nacional de Policia, CNP), deals with criminal offences and public order in towns and cities, and can be contacted by calling 091 or 902 102 112.

The latter was set up for non-Spanish to report burglaries, car theft or a break-in when documents and belongings are lost or stolen. Available in English from 9am to 2pm, all week long, the service is also available in French, German and Italian.

Once the telephone report is made,

claimants have 48 hours to check and sign their statement at the police station of their choice.

In the case of robbery, where threat or force has been used, victims should call 091 at the time, then go directly to a police station to make a report.

The Guardia Civil is a military force which operates mostly in rural areas and is responsible for drug offences, fatal car accidents, robberies and murders, and can be contacted on 062.

Local Police (Policia municipal) cover their local town or city area for traffic offences and control, lost property and crimes such as theft and neighbourhood disputes. You can reach them on 092.

And a special helpine, 016, has been set up specifically to report instances of gender violence.

For an ambulance (ambulancia) and health emergencies, call 061 or 112, and in the case of a fire call the fire brigade (cuerpo de bomberos) on 061 or 112.

For problems at sea, the Maritime Rescue Service (Salvamento Seguridad Maritmo) can be contacted by calling 900 202 202, and the Red Cross (Cruz Rojo) on 902 222 292. There is also a Red Cross 24- hour helpline 900 100 333.

QUESTION: We are foreigners, and our mother who recently died, owned a property in Denia which was and is still rented

Inheritances in Spain Unsettled Estate or Yacente out. She had several properties in Spain as well as assets in England, but we have not yet identified which is her last valid Will.

This means we don’t know who is going to inherit which asset, as although we believe that the heirs will be her children, some of them have not yet confirmed whether they want to inherit or not.

As it is probable that it will take several months to finalise the inheritance and probate and to know who will inherit what, we would like advice from a Spanish lawyer as to what we should do in the interim with regards to rental income, who should receive the funds and how taxes should be paid.

Answer: Thank you for your enquiry.

From the date of death of the owner of a property until the acceptance of the inheritance by her heirs, it is required, under the Spanish Law, that the estate or assets are treated as unsettled or Yacente, and this period is re-

ferred to as a Yacente Inheritance or Unsettled Estate.

During this time the assets are not owned by anyone, because it is not known who will be the heirs and therefore, any rental income received will belong to the Yacente.

The so-called Yacente Inheritance or Unsettled Estate does not have a legal personality in its own right, but it must pay the taxes which apply, including those due to the letting.

Therefore, as long as the inheritance is not accepted and it is not known who will be the final heirs (who must confirm they accept the inheritance), in theory the Yacente should request a tax identification number and where appropriate raise invoices to cover the ongoing rental period.

As the Yacente is considered liable for tax by the Spanish

General Tax Law (Article 35.4), it can - and should - issue the relevant invoices to the tenant.

Likewise, the Yacente must make declarations and corresponding VAT payments in respect of the income received from those renting the properties.

As for income tax, as the Yacente has no legal status and is not a taxpayer from the point of view of income tax and such tax in respect of monies received as rental, according to Spanish law, must be paid by the beneficiaries of the inheritance, each one in proportion to the percentage of their inherited ownership, even if they have not received the actual rental income.

In principle, the administrator, representative or executor named in the Will may act as Yacente, it may also be repre-

NATIONAL

sented by a group of possible heirs, or in a last case scenario any named heir.

Acceptance and end of the Yacente Inheritance or Unsettled Estate: As Spanish lawyers we do understand that the contents of this article may sound extremely complex, but generally, in practise, it can be much simpler.

If the heirs (once known) are in agreement, they can accept the inheritance in a very simple way, (even tacitly).

Once the inheritance is accepted, the Yacente is wound up and each of the beneficiaries will be able to pay and settle all outstanding taxes, without needing to register and obtain a fiscal number for the Yacente Inheritance or Unsettled Estate.

Protecting your wealth and financial security You have worked hard to build up savings, whether investments or pensions, to allow you to enjoy a long and comfortable retirement in the lifestyle you were planning for. You may also wish to leave your children and grandchildren an inheritance to help them build a financially secure future.

You therefore need to protect your savings as much as possible and obtain peace of mind about your financial security. There are a few threats to your wealth that you need to plan for, for example: • Inflation, which erodes the value of your capital and income over the longer-term.

• Investment risk, which increases if your portfolio is not specifically designed around your risk tolerance, circumstances and needs.

• Taxation, which reduces investment returns, your wealth and family’s inheritance.

Preyed on birds

By Dilip Kuner WILDLIFE charities have welcomed jail sentences imposed on three men who poisoned 138 birds of prey including endangered species so more game was available for hunters.

A Pamplona court sentenced two men in charge of managing four hunting reserves and a gamekeeper to two years and eight months in prison each. Because the sentence is longer than two years, they will not get the sentence automatically suspended and they will have to go to jail.

This is the longest sentence ever imposed by a Spanish court for poisoning wildlife.

The court heard that the events took place in hunting grounds in Tudela and Cin-

trĂşenigo (Navarre) in 2012 where 138 birds of prey and four crows died from eating poisoned bait. Kites, Egyptian vultures, black kites, marsh harriers and griffon vultures were amongst the victims.

These are protected species that, in some cases are listed as endangered.

The poisoning was planned by the management of the companies managing four hunting reserves, two of them in Tudela (Montes del Cierzo and Monte Alto) in addition to the CintruĂŠnigo and Fitero reserves.

Now WWF Spain and Ecologistas en AcciĂłn have welcomed the sentence and hope that it will serve as a deterrent to those who are tempted to use poison to control predators.

Iberian Lynx worth the investment IN order to try to save the Iberian Lynx from extinction, a conservation project costing â‚Ź34 million (of which â‚Ź20 million came from the European Union) has seen considerable success.

The number of animals in the wild had dropped alarmingly, but thanks to a programme of captive breeding and then release into the wild, has resulted in there now being nearly 700 animals in

the Iberian Peninsula which includes Portugal with a large percentage in Andalucia.

Recent figures infer that one in three of each of the females released has given birth to at least one kitten and that as the youngsters mature, so the figures will be likely to increase.

The main problem is ensuring that there is sufficient food available, a ban on hunting this vulnerable species continues to be enforced and motorists are warned about areas where the Lynx now live as the biggest cause of death is from traffic.

Somewhere to park A PRIME plot on the Levante beach seafront will for the time being, be used as a car park.

This was the site of Las Terrazas, a complex of 1960’s-built apartments eventually demolished in 2014 after years of bickering and negotiating with owners.

Until steps are taken to develop the 3,700-square metre plot of land, this can

be used for parking, explained Benidorm’s mayor Toni Perez.

Vehicles access the parking spaces via Avenida del Mediterraneo though there are several pedestrian exits, including one to the Levante beach promenade. The site has been gravelled and lighting installed, said Perez, who called on the public to make ‘rational’ use of the parking spaces.

The regional government has allocated â‚Ź462,951 for a project to reduce erosion and regenerate 148.62 hectares of burnt woodland with resilient trees which are more resistant to fire than pines.

The seedling pines that sprouted since the fire will be thinned out to a maximum of 800 per hectare and much of the highly inflammable gorse is to be removed.

Invasive species including mimosa, dwarf myrtle and verbena will also be eliminated, explained Quesada as he inspected the area accompanied by representatives from Javea Town Hall.

Adult pines in dense woodland which survived the 2016 fire are to be pruned and thinned, while 2,857 cubic metres of drystone walls in the area will be restored to halt erosion and encourage the regeneration of native rock plants.

NEW LOOK: Denia Hospital staff in their tunics.

Children’s choice PAEDIATRICIANS and nurses on Denia Hospital’s paediatric wards now wear uniforms designed by Marina Alta children.

Last year the hospital organised a competition entitled ‘We look after you and you draw us,’ whose jury chose paintings by Lluna Alvarez Bertomeu and Ruben Nieto Perez, both aged nine.

Some of the elements in their pictures have been translated into the new tunics, which doctors and nurses first wore on International Hospitalised Children’s Day.

Boy racers make life ‘intolerable’ RESIDENTS in some Denia roads have complained that noisy motorcycles made it impossible to rest.

Worst-affected are Avenida Montgo, Avenida Joan Fuster and Cami Pou de la Muntanya, owing to motorcycles without silencers whose riders exceed the speed limit and improvise races.

“It’s like living on the Cheste racing circuit,” one resident said, referring to the Valencia race track.

There are several schools and nurseries in the area, together with the access to the La Pedrera Hospital and one of the principal roads up to the Montgo urbanisations.

“These roads are saturated with noise pollution and motorbikes,” others complained. “This is becoming a dangerous neighbourhood.”

They felt powerless, said residents who reproached Denia Town Hall for not taking a tougher line with the motorcyclists.

They have lodged several complaints with the town hall, but without getting results, they said.

RYANAIR: Spain is a major destination.

Spain still top for Ryanair DESPITE all of the fears concerning Brexit, Irish airline Ryanair still expects Spain to be a major tourist hub for the rest of this year and next.

It has indicated that three of its most popular destinations are in Spain in Malaga, Palma and Alicante and earlier this

year it had to increase significantly the number of flights to Alicante from Birmingham, Bournemouth, Bristol, Liverpool and London Stansted.

The airline had indicated that it has some fears concerning its ability to fly out of the UK following Brexit, but it would not

have increased flights so dramatically if it did not expect to continue to have a thriving market there. As it continues to expand, so new passengers will be carried from different parts of the EU but there can be little doubt that British tourists will still be important to Ryanair.

WILDFIRE: Firefighters on the spot.

Major fire contained MORE than 100 firefighters aided by helicopters dropping water spent 24 hours tackling the first major wildfire of the year in Tenerife.

The fire started in the Teide National Park on the island and soon covered 20 hectares of land at the base of the Mount Teide Volcano.

Smoke and flames were easily seen across Tenerife and trenches were dug as fire breaks as the personnel attempted to contain the ferocious blaze, often having to tackle areas on

foot and extinguish smouldering undergrowth with hand held implements.

According to the Cabildo de Tenerife it was eventually brought under control thanks to a reduction in temperature and winds, as well as the hard work of those involved in fighting the fire.

An investigation will now take place as to what may have caused this conflagration as the island stays alert to other possible outbreaks fuelled by the extreme temperatures.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

Neither shaken nor stirred

by John Smith FORMER member of the Special Branch and MI6 Carlton King who has been described as the real life black James Bond currently spends much of his time in Alicante.

He has however spent a week in the Costa del Sol preparing a trailer for what he hopes will become an addictive and much-watched TV series in conjunction with filmmaker Jeff Clarke.

As a member of a minority and a working class lad who spent time as a DJ, he went to Germany and became a security officer for the US Army equivalent of NAAFI and heard tales of the Metropolitan Police Special Branch.

He returned to the UK, spent two years on the beat and was then one of only 10 officers chosen each year to join the Special Branch which was responsible for internal security and protection of non-royal VIPs amongst other things.

During his time there, he acted as a bodyguard for Tony Blair, the Clin-

NEW PROJECT: Carlton King is preparing a trailer for what he hopes will be a much-watched TV series. tons and Sir John Major, and was also responsible for heading up the Strategic Unit which tried to forecast potential security threats before he was transferred to MI6.

Having seen there was a class and colour prejudice at senior levels in both services, he was very aware of

the possibility that disaffected black youth could be turned to Jihadism whilst working class whites could become involved on the extreme right.

He was responsible for arranging deep-cover counter-subversive missions as well as running counter-terrorism programmes.

Carlton (not his real name), who became the most senior black officer in the security service eventually became disaffected with the way in which minorities within the service were treated and after 28 years of service left the force.

He explained to Euro Weekly News

that he wanted to show working class minority youngsters that it was possible, although difficult, for a black officer to rise within the service, but also wanted to expose the secrecy and inherent racism within the UK systems.

For four years he fought to publish his book Black Ops: The incredible true story of a British secret agent and eventually permission was given although according to him only about 25 per cent of the real story appeared.

Now, he is potentially still a target for terrorists and always appears in dark glasses with photos pixilated, but he has a new project Selective Intelligence which he is making with the input and support of E17 Boy Productions (a film company based in Calahonda in Malaga Province) who are also looking for funding through Warrior Film Promotions.

The concept is that boys and girls like himself will be filmed undertaking training as security operatives with the end result that at least one will be awarded a job with a high level security company.

Banks call off merger plan TWO Spanish banks have c a l l e d o ff m e rg e r p l a n s a f t e r one wanted to take over 60 per cent of the other’s stock.

U n i c a j a ’s p l a n t o t a k e o n three-fifths of Liberbank led the latter to reject the merger.

The arrangement would have left Unicaja with a higher stake in Liberbank than the latter would have had in the former.

Both saw their share prices fall, by almost 1.2 per cent for Unicaja and more than 1.4 per cent for Liberbank, after the deal was called off.

Airline posts new losses

Budget goes back to Cortes THE Spanish government’s draft budget for this year is set to go before lawmakers again following the general election called after it failed to pass.

Acting Commerce Minister Reyes Maroto told a meeting of businesspeople in Bilbao budget plans would be put to the Cortes when the new government is sworn in.

Coalition talks between the left-leaning Partido Socialista (PSOE), which won the most seats in the Congress of Deputies following the election, and opposition groups are ongoing.

Maroto said: “I hope investments will be channelled from the new 2019 budget

By Joe Gerrard soon. It will be presented once the new government is set up and present in the Cortes.”

The minister’s comments come after lawmakers rejected the governing PSOE’s budget in February. Pro-Catalan independence parties refused to support it over the region’s ongoing independence dispute.

Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez then called a snap general election to shore up PSOE’s position in the Congress of Deputies. The party had 86 seats in the 350-member lower house.

Budget plans unveiled in January included €7.5 billion in infrastructure investment and a youth unemployment plan backed by €670 million. The government also budgeted €220 million to help tackle gender violence.

It also made headlines for a proposal to raise the minimum wage by 21 per cent to €900 a month, the largest increase in Spain’s democratic history.

The government planned to fund spending increases by tax hikes on large firms, particularly technology companies.

Finance Minister Maria Jesus Montero said the budget would make the Treasury an extra €5.7 billion.

GERMAN-BASED airline TUI has posted an underlying annual loss of €300.6 million which it said was due to overcapacity in Spain and the grounding of some planes.

The airline said it expected to take another profit hit if its 15 Boeing 737 MAX planes remain grounded. The company said it would clarify the situation by the end of this month.

Excess supply in its operations in and out of Spain have also contributed to the losses which were higher than the €168.7 million posted last year.

» BUSINESS EXTRA

Spanish firm takeover plan BRITAIN’S opposition Labour party said it would take the Spanish Iberdrola’s subsidiary Scottish Power into public ownership if it takes power.

The party said the company and others made huge profits while raising bills for customers and holding back infrastructure investments.

Rebecca Ling Bailey, Labour’s Shadow Energy Secretary, said: “Many people would be surprised to

know the cables that carry gas and electricity into their homes are owned by Wall Street investment banks, multinational conglomerates and sovereign funds.”

Labour plans to compensate Scottish Power shareholders with Treasury bonds. Scottish Power made more than €1 billion in pre-tax profits last year.

Labour said it would nationalise other firms.

Bankrupt families THE amount of Spanish families who declared bankruptcy for not making debt payments fell by 3.3 per cent in the first quarter of this year compared to the same period of 2018, National Institute for Statistics (INE) figures show.

Reform call THE CSIF trade union has called for a change in labour laws to bring worker representation to staff in small and medium-sized companies after finding that 4.3 million of Spain’s 17 million workers are employed in non-unionised firms.

New post SPANISH Economy Minister Nadia Calviño has been appointed president of the board of governors of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) alongside her ministerial brief for a year, replacing current head Jyrki Katainen.

Something a little lighter?

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT THIS week I had decided to write something completely different. One of the banes of being a columnist is the never ending search for subject matter.

As most of my offerings generally cover rather more serious, and consequently somewhat depressing subjects, I decided to look around for something a little lighter - hopefully to raise a smile or two.

Well, in a sad reflection of the world we now live in, I’d have had more chance of finding something good to say about Diane Abbott! With the advent of ever increasing political correctness, even the wonderful British quality of being able to find some humour in its problems is slowly being eroded from our culture and way of life.

Everywhere I looked it was doom and gloom.

With the usual monotonous regularity, the UK’s entry for the Eurovision Song Contest came in last. When are people going to realise that we wouldn’t win it with Delilah, Hey Jude or even Little Arrows!? Europe hates us.

And those who don’t hate us are jealous. Entering for this antiquated heap of pure elephant dung is a complete waste of time and effort.

The usual affronts to our democracy and culture were also in full, unacceptable prominence this week. A highly respected GP faces a watchdog enquiry for asking a Muslim woman to raise

EUROVISION ENTRY: Michael Rice came last. her veil so he could hear her describe the symptoms of her child’s malady. What was he supposed to do, guess? I wonder who would have been blamed if he had prescribed the wrong treatment?

I would also like to reiterate here there is no mention in the Koran that this garment should be worn. It has no religious significance whatsoever.

It is merely insisted on by Muslim males to protect their women from the prying eyes of other men.

Mayor Khan was also in the news again. This time he managed to stick his oar in to one of our most treasured British institutions by ordering the removal of a new Wimbledon poster which depicted strawberries and cream! Don’t ask. I can

only assume it had something to do with food and Ramadan!

Also climbing firmly aboard the idiot bandwagon this week came ‘ealth n’ safety. Apparently Leicester Council has banned Women’s Institute cakes from a local hospice. The WI ladies had been providing cakes to 2,500 annual patients of the hospice for 40 years, but now the local council have decided that factory products are ‘more hygienic.’ Ha! I know what I’d rather have.

Still looking for something amusing? Forget it.

The most disturbing action this week was the convergence of young Muslim men onto the peaceful members of Tommy Robinson’s election campaign in Oldham. Video evidence clearly shows a hoard of young Asian men, many totally masked and carrying weapons, being actually escorted by police to the Robinson rally on a local housing estate. There they proceeded to pelt Robinson and his team with bricks and missiles until the police finally broke it up.

At no time were Robinsons people the aggressors, but the next day the meagre press reports merely stated ‘rioting broke out at a ‘far-right’ rally of Tommy Robinson on an Oldham estate’.

Not funny at all is it?

ONE of the greatest benefits of living or having a place in Spain is the outdoor living. A beautiful terrace, patio or balcony allows you to really enjoy the sun-filled days and warm evenings.

Dining al fresco is almost obligatory and you really do not have to be an optimist to plan a barbeque with friends and family.

To enjoy this lifestyle to the full, you of course need some stylish, comfortable furniture and what better place to get this than from a British-owned firm which has been on the Costa Blanca for over 15 years, and builds and impor t s i t s o wn u n i q u e ra n g e o f high-quality, stylish, but affordable products.

Siesta Group provide such furniture and accessories, both online and from their five stores covering the whole of the Costa Blanca. The stores being in Los Montesinos, Gata de Gorgos, Altea, San Javier and Cabo Roig.

To assist online customers, the gro u p h a v e r e c e n tly rele a s e d their brand new website www.siestagroup.shop, where you can view any of the range of products they have available.

Cassandra Nash A weekly look - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene

A CHASTENED Pablo Casado has learnt the error of his ways.

After taking the Partido Popular to its worstever defeat, he claims to have realised on election night that he had failed to identify his real rivals as Ciudadanos and Vox, not Pedro Sanchez.

So he wasn’t aware of that until the post-election count-up? There would have been no downcast admission if he’d listened to those in his party who always doubted the wisdom of cosying up to Vox and Cs, despite the apparent success of the Andalucia threesome.

Not only does Casado appear to lack common sense, but he’s dangerously lacking in perception.

And he unwittingly revealed that defeating rivals was more important to him than winning votes to benefit the nation, not his ambitions.

Not fussy A SPANISH NAVY frigate, the Mendez Nuñez set out from El Ferrol last January to join the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group.

It would carry out “maritime security assignments and guarantee the freedom of shipping and commerce,” the Mendez Nuñez’s captain said.

The frigate was to accompany the Abraham

Three, three, the rivals Lincoln in the Mediterranean, Persian Gulf, Indian Ocean, South China Sea and the Pacific but the aircraft carrier made a beeline for the Strait of Hormuz, the only sea passage between the Persian Gulf and the open sea.

And as tension rose between Washington and Teheran, the Abraham Lincoln entered the Strait without the Mendez Nuñez, after Minister of Defence Margarita Robles ordered it to make for Bombay instead.

“The frigate is on a navigation mission and isn’t going to enter into any other kind of mission,” Robles announced.

Donald Trump looks for trouble. North Korea, Venezuela or Iran, he’s not fussy. But Spain is.

No resting, no laurels

poll is too good for the PSOE’s good.

It predicts that the socialists headed should clean up in May 26’s municipal and regional elections, but there’s a danger this could discourage voters from turning out as they did last month.

Nothing succeeds like success and nothing fails like taking too much for granted.

THE latest Centro de Investigacion Sociologica

If is a futile word ALFREDO PEREZ RUBALCABA, a former minister in the governments of Felipe Gonzalez and Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero died recently of a brain haemorrhage.

Condolences, sadness and regret poured in on his death at the age of 67, but despite his worth and sincere appreciation from his fellow politicians, Rubalcaba was not the leader the PSOE needed when he lost the 2011 general election.

And he was not the Secretary General that the PSOE needed in 2012 when he was challenged for the leadership by Carme Chacon, Minister of Housing and later Minister of Defence in Zapatero’s governments.

She lost by 22 votes but was what the PSOE needed at that moment, and it is tempting to speculate on the future had she won.

Instead she died tragically early in 2017 of a congenital heart disorder aged 46 and both Rubalcaba’s death and her own demonstrate yet again that ‘if’ is a futile and barren word in any language.

ALFREDO PEREZ RUBALCABA: Died May 10, 2019.

How stupid are you?

Mike Senker In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man WELL I’ve seen it all now. I recently had to log on to the police website webpol.policia.es - by following a link they sent me and this is what came up ‘This website may be impersonating ‘webpol.polica.es’ to steal your personal or financial information You should close this page.’ This had to be a mistake surely but, of course, it wasn’t. Mrs S pointed out this was not the first time this had happened.

Apparently a similar message had come up before when trying to log on to another official site. How on earth can this happen?

How can the police and other official sites not be safe? Not only unsafe but so dodgy my browser on my iPhone wouldnit even open it? Is there anybody out there that can explain it to me?

One of the problems is that I had to ignore the warning and open it because it is the only way to register rental clients’ information including all their passport details, names and dates of birth. Surely their sites should be the most secure of them all?

Who do you complain to and do they even care? It’s hard enough to follow all the crazy rules they seem to make up on a weekly basis without having to worry that the information you are giving them is totally unsecure but, hey ho, if they don’t care why should I? Settled down on Saturday night to watch Britain’s Got Talent. A couple of singers were OK, then a magician. He was very good. Then a bloke came on and decided to hang upside down on a pole after swallowing a sword and do something called a death drop. Just before he did this a message came up on screen saying ‘DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME.’ Well thank goodness that came up as I was just trying to swallow the carving knife and tie my ankles to the chandelier but I saw that and thought oh that’s a shame I was looking forward to doing that. Seriously do they honestly think it’s necessary to put these messages up on screen?

Do they think you are stupid enough to try a knife throwing act or set yourself on fire in a straight jacket in the comfort of your own lounge? And if you are that type of deranged maniac, putting a message on the screen is certainly not going to stop you!

Day grannie got to grips with rips Barry Duke ‘BLIMEY, did you just have a runin with a grizzly bear?’ I asked my mate Brent when he ambled over to my house for a drink and a smoke. I posed the question because his jeans had about as many holes in them as an Emmental cheese.

His scornfully retorted. ‘Don’t you read the fashion magazines?

Ripped jeans are the in-thing this year, and I’ll have you know that these are a designer pair that set me back 120 quid.’

That was back in the late 80s and all I could do was shake my head in disbelief. Paying that much for a garment that looked as if a pair of pit bulls had viciously fought to possess it seemed beyond bonkers.

(Nowadays that amount is chump change. In 2011, after ripped jeans now called ‘distressed’ denim came back into fashion, they were being sold by designers such as Diesel and Balmain for £1,800.)

A month later, I saw Brent again,

DISTRESSED DENIM: Until the fad passed, I only bought non-holey jeans from charity shops. this time wearing an older, more conventional pair of Levis. When I asked him what happened to his expensive designer pair, he said they’d been utterly ruined by his grandma.

‘I went to visit her in Cardiff and she offered to do a wash for me when I was down at the pub. When grannie saw the jeans in the pile of clothes I

handed to her, she sewed up all the holes.’

Laugh? I could barely stop. Brent meanwhile kept banging on about having an interfering old bat for a nan. I said that I’d happily attack his Levis with a garden fork and a hoe and maybe even a cheese grater to bring them up to a fashionable level,

but he just stomped off in a huff.

Not long after, I went shopping for a new pair of jeans, and was appalled that the ripped look had taken root in every store I visited. Reluctantly, I tried on one pair that only had rips at the knees, but on vertically-challenged me the holes were much closer to my ankles, and

looked beyond ridiculous. Until the fad passed, I only bought non-holey jeans from charity shops.

But ripped jeans are now back and denim jackets too. I discovered this when the temperature in Benidorm unexpectedly plummeted while I was out one evening last week, and my teeth began chattering. So I ducked into a local branch of Zara, which normally has a great range of casual jackets, but the only one that fitted me looked as if it had been spat out by a combine harvester - or used as target practice by a maniac with a double-barrelled shotgun.

But I bought it anyway, and it did a great job of taking the edge off a chilly night. Better than that, friends told me how good I looked in it.

My one regret is that the jacket wasn’t made by the Japanese company Zoo Jeans, which wraps denim around tyres and throws them to lions, tigers and bears to claw and chew at the Kamine Zoo in Hitachi City. Once the animals are done ripping the denim, the cloth is then turned into garments that sell in the region of £1,000. (See the video at https://youtu.be/3phbUZzJQbw.)

Rawhide Removals - Shop in the UK with delivery right to your door RAWHIDE REMOVALS is not your average removals and transport company. They have taken that extra mile to ensure they stand out from the crowd and offer something special that few others do.

In Spain, Rawhide Removals has depots in Alicante and Pedreguer, while their main depot in the UK is in Enfield in London.

The company is fully licensed, insured, legally registered and specialises in the removal, storage and transportation of large or small goods around Europe, in particular between the UK, Spain, France and Portugal.

Rawhide Removals has the facilities, space and equipment to carry and transport very large items including boats, cars, jet-skis, sheds, beds, sofas and carpets, to name just a few.

In addition, Rawhide Removals have also set up a unique, extremely popular and easy-to-use ‘Click n Drop’ Internet service, which is fantastic for anyone that prefers to shop in the UK and have their goods delivered to Spain. With this simple system, customers can avoid the hefty delivery charges often levied by many UK retailers, which

SECURED AND INSURED: Your goods will be in safe hands. leaves more money for shopping. What could be better!

The Click n Drop service is extremely straightforward. Basically, customers order their goods from their favourite online retailer, taking advantage of the free delivery in the UK service. The goods are delivered to the Rawhide depot in the UK and from there the company transports them to the customer’s address in Spain.

This service is carried out in a highly professional and efficient manner and is fully insured.

Customers who have used the service are delighted, so much so that due to its popularity Rawhide Removals have had to find a bigger depot in the UK. The company charges 20 per cent of the order value for their service and are able to deliver within two to three weeks from when the goods are dropped off at their UK depot.

Many expats living in Spain prefer to use this service than buying in Spain, as prices are often much cheaper and they can still shop at their

favourite UK stores such as M&S, Mothercare, John Lewis, Homebase, PC World, B&Q and Currys.

If you’re just looking to store your furniture or other goods for a period of time, Rawhide Removals is the best place for that as well.

Advertising Feature IF you have ever dreamed of a mobile phone service in Spain which is cheap, has great coverage and offers a service completely in English with native English- speaking staff wake up, it’s now become a reality with Lobster Mobile.

Two years in the making, Lobster, which is a Spanish company, offers an incredibly simple service to set up with none of the usual bureaucracy. For a flat monthly fee you get unlimited calls and texts in Spain and to the UK and other countries.

It really is flippin’ easy and great value for money and instead of loads of different calling plans and complicated contracts you have three simple monthly options, all with unlimited calls and texts and you just choose the amount of data you want. €12 gives you 2GB of data, €18 gives you 7GB of data, and €24 gives you 15GB of data which means basically if you like to watch lots of videos, you will probably be better suited with the medium or large plans, whilst if your main interest is making and receiving calls and sending WhatsApps then the small one is probably the one for you.

The great thing about Lobster is that you are not tied into any contract and can change between plans at any time with no penalty, and as an added bonus when you first sign up, your first month’s plan is free to give you the option to decide whether you like

the service with no commitments. Lobster thinks you’ll like it and will want to stay.

If you have a Spanish mobile number at the moment and want to keep it, that can easily be arranged so all of your contacts will still be able to call you as normal.

Lobster has full national coverage in Spain, running on the Movistar network.

This really is a first for Spain as the whole service has been built with English speakers in mind, so the call centre which is open from 9am to 9pm seven days a week responds quickly and you will always find help from a native English speaker on the end of the line.

Signing up is simple as all you need is valid ID; passport, NIE or similar, and a credit or debit card and there are no commitments; you simply pay on a monthly basis and can cancel whenever you like.

You can sign up online visiting their website www.lobster.es, by calling their call centre for free on 1661, or by going in to one of more than 300 retail stores selling Lobster.

There are already thousands of happy customers, one of whom (Frances Cripps) wrote on the company Facebook page: ‘I’ve had my SIM card a month now and so far it’s been one of the best I’ve ever had; internet is great and the staff are really helpful.

Would definitely be recommending this company to everyone.’

OPINION & COMMENT

www.euroweeklynews.com

23 - 29 May 2019

YOUR PAPER - YOUR VOICE - YOUR OPINION Letters should be emailed to oursay@euroweeklynews.com or make your comments on our website: www.euroweeklynews.com DEAR Editor I, like many Brits both here and back home, am bored of Brexit.

You get the impression that all the politicians care about is their own backside and their own power.

We are still in limbo land, without any real clue as to what is going to happen.

We do not even know what the real projected effects will be of leaving the EU, half-leaving, remaining in etcetera etcetera. We have been lied to, treated like fools, and subjected to the most ridiculous scaremongering by both the politicians, in England and at the EU, and by the mainstream media in the UK. All I do know is that I would not trust our politicians to tie their own shoe laces, let alone ours.

Where are the real leaders of the type that Britain apparently used to produce?

As a ‘normal’ chap, all I can say is, ‘sort it out!’

Darren Price

A black legacy YOUR article about the so-called Spanish ‘black legend’ in last week’s paper (Issue 1767) intrigued me.

I have often thought the stereotype of the typical Spaniard is unpleasant in films.

When I want to watch something about Spain I go with something made by people from the country for this reason.

What interested me was finding out that these stereotypes have a long history, the legacy of which lingers on.

I think it’s important to understand the historical context and development of such things to learn about their present state and how we can move away from tarring everyone with the same brush.

Leapy Lee could do with a history lesson along those lines to cure him of his obsession with negative stereotypes about immigrants, made all the more ironic because he is one.

Stuart McPherson

Having a ball I READ your article about the Cannon and Ball show in last week’s Costa del Sol edition (Issue 1767) with interest and nostalgia. The Cannon and Ball show was a favourite of mine and a fixture in our home in the 1980s.

I always found their social observance comedy hilarious, it was a real commentary on life and society at the time. They were great ambassadors for the north of England too. It’s great to hear the duo are still going strong and that they were able to entertain expatriates on the Costa.

And it was lovely to see they managed to reunite with an old friend of theirs.

What a nice, funny pair they are.

OUR VIEW Right to vote

Views expressed and opinions given are not necessarily those of the EWN publishers. No responsibility is accepted for accuracy of information, errors, omissions or statements.

Bored of Brexit DEAR Ed My God what a lot of whingers we are! We whinge about the roads, the dogs, the noise of the fiestas, the food, the local council, the internet, the weather, the Spanish drivers, the apparent lack of manners of our host nation, the list is endless.

In fact, I have decided that many Brits just enjoy whingeing, to the extent I am convinced that if the 100-metre whinge were to be an Olympic sport then the British would win the gold medal, with little competition.

Maybe, just maybe, some of us misery-guts should open our eyes a little, and see what a beautiful country Spain is.

It is a land of tradition, of rugged beauty

Whingeing Brits

OBLIGATORY: A fortnight caravanning in the British rain for whingers. and great friendly people, who, on the whole, welcome us ‘foreigners’ with open arms and a smile.

Maybe it should be obligatory for anyone

HAVE YOUR SAY

FINDINGS this week which showed almost three quarters of legally registered foreigners cannot vote in Spain has rightly led to calls for change.

Labour Ministry data showed about 27 per cent, or almost 1.3 million, of the roughly 4.7 million foreigners registered in Spain would be entitled to vote in elections this Sunday.

Spanish voters are set to cast their ballots in local, regional and European elections.

Legally registered foreigners who have told their council they intend to vote can cast ballots in local and EU elections.

But foreigners and expatriates are not allowed to vote in regional or national elections.

Being able to vote is a crucial part of the social contract in the community in which people live. The democratic compact which sees citizens elect politicians to speak on their behalf means politicians have an incentive to respond to their needs.

Those same politicians, be they a local councillor, Congress deputy or Member of the European Parliament (MEP), take decisions that affect all our lives.

Although many expatriates may not have decided to become fully-fledged Spanish citizens, we still form part of and contribute to the community around us.

Many own businesses or work in those run by Spanish entrepreneurs. They pay taxes, use Spanish hospitals, send children to its schools and are protected by its police force.

It follows therefore that expatriates and foreigners should have a say about how the institutions which affect them and their families are run.

Now we want to hear your views.

Travellers arrested trying to leave airport Why do they ALL want to go to London? What is the attraction? Listen to the lefties there and it is racist, violent, unfair, children living in poverty, food banks, fascist police, and all the rest. But still people want to leave France and Spain and go there. Surely it can’t be the Benefit system, the free NHS treatment, free education, housing, clean water . . . can it ?

Spanish electric bills among EU’s highest with consumers paying up to twice the price of some other countries For the last 10 years we’ve been saying that - but the prices keep rising. We KNOW electricity is expensive in Spain, but nothing is done.

Annie

COMMENTS FROM EWN ONLINE And the bills appear to rise every month with no intervention by the government or an ombudsman. The problem is that Iberdrola have almost a complete monopoly over energy supply. You only have to look at British TV with their numerous ‘switch energy suppliers’ adverts to get the best deal to realise that in Spain that option is not really available. It’s more or less Iberdrola and nobody else. It’s time the energy minister (if there is one) did something about it.

Ian This is known as legal theft.

One of the most expensive destinations for holiday rentals this summer in Spain Tourism will go down, then the hoteliers will complain and put their prices up and the law of unintended consequences will take over.

Hoteliers lobbied for ‘control’ over holiday lets, adding to landlord’s costs for A/C, registration, management etc, then they complain about reduced numbers of tourists.

YOUR STARS

DID YOU KNOW?

FOR NEXT 7 DAYS AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Working in the dark is not your favourite thing. Blazing lights on everything is more your style. Why, then, do you not have control of the facts?

Maybe hiding in the shadows and avoiding something has put you where you are. Let others know that the lights are about to be switched on.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Throwing money at a problem will not make it go away, it will merely be a delaying tactic.

Life is not always so simple that it brings you comfort.

Coming to terms and dealing with something is necessary for your peace of mind. I do not want to appear dramatic, merely practical.

wind. You feel that, if you grasp it, finances will improve. Your hesitation is felt as weakness but it is good to check. See this branch from all angles. The last thing that you want is to tug on it and find that it is too much to hold. You may not go to the woods this week, but you will receive an offer.

THE oldest chair is almost 5,000 years old, beginning with Egyptians who had ceremonial chairs for large events. Now most homes own a sofa, and the average person spends four hours a day sitting on theirs. The average sofa will also seat around 782 visitors over its life.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Are you hoping that a recent acquaintance will provide the answer to a question? Your friends have given their opinions but you are still not convinced. Here is a situation where expert advice is needed, not a random opinion. A few pennies will be well spent and save you lots of tension later.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23)

Saturday May 18

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) There is something comfortable about your life at the moment. Even though there seems to be a good reason to change it, you hesitate. A situation seems to have become outdated and no longer works well.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Starting on a new hobby or job has opened your eyes to much that is round you. You ask yourself why it was not so clear to you before. This does not matter. This is where you are and where you need to be at the moment.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) The buzz in your head is not a mysterious thing. It is the sound of something quite different. Clearly, it is time to act on an idea held for a long time. The buzz will not go away until you are satisfied. Get with the yoga and plan your approach. One step at a time avoids confusion.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) An emotional journey which you made last year comes to mind again. Although there are adjustments to be made, you are now more at ease.

Whichever way you go now will be a lucky improvement in your sphere.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) A branch is dangling in the

There is a lot to take on board this week. At times, you may feel that it is too much to cope with. You, however, are made of stronger stuff. Are you telling me that Fred down the road is better than you? No, of course not. Show everyone what you are made of this week by getting it sorted..

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Yours is a big heart, but be more selective about what and who you let in. As you are currently seeing things so clearly, make some choices.

Your quality of both life and work will change for the better.

You are not being selfish. You know there is such a thing as necessary self-preservation.

It is not possible to stand by and see bad mistakes happen.

Finding the truth IN her latest novel, author Hilary Davidson explores how easy it is to get away with murder. Following an apparent suicide and a disappearance, it seems one man may have gotten away with murder twice.

NYPD detective Sheryn Sterling has been watching Alex Traynor, a war journalist suffering from PTSD, ever since his friend Cori fell to her death under suspicious circumstances a year ago.

While her friend’s death was ruled a suicide, Sheryn thinks Alex is responsible and has somehow gotten away with murder. When Alex’s fiance, Emily, a talented and well-liked local doctor, goes missing, Sheryn believes Alex may have struck.

As Sheryn begins investigating both her friend’s death and Emily’s disappearance, she begins to question whether she really has got the right man. It seems everyone remembers the night of Cori’s death differently and that finding the truth behind it could be the way to solve Emily’s disappearance.

IN 1613, William Shakespeare was considered the greatest writer of his time, but his world shatters when the Globe Theatre burns down and he is forced to return home to Stratford Upon Avon.

Confronted with his troubled past and angry family, and dealing with the grief of losing his only son, Hamnet, Shakespeare struggles to readjust to life back home. As he works to repair his relationship with his wife and daughters, he begins to consider his own failings as a family man, and examines his life up until now. All is True, starring Kenneth Branagh, Judi Dench, and Ian McKellan, explores the life of the man behind the plays. The film also fills in some of the blanks surrounding Shakespeare’s final years, as well as offering a glimpse into Elizabethan England.

‘Alzheimer’s symptoms show early’ EARLY warning signs of Alzeheimer’s disease could present themselves many years before symptoms begin, according to new research.

A recent study found a type of protein was more prevalent in the spinal fluid of patients who had a high risk of the disease. Scientists found the tau protein could present itself up to 34 years before a patient showed signs of memory loss. The protein is thought to cluster in an area of the brain responsible for memory, and may be connected to Alzheimer’s later in life.

Researchers believe the protein travels through the brain as the disease progresses. Research at Johns Hopkins University showed early detection could be possible. Led researcher, Dr Laurent Younes, said: “Our study suggests it may be possible to use brain imaging and spinal fluid analysis to assess risk of Alzheimer’s before common symptoms such as mild cognitive impairment, occur.”

HEALTH & BEAUTY THE summer sun is (almost) here at last, but while the warmer weather is lovely, it can also leave skin in need of more hydration than normal.

If you are finding your skin feels dry or in need of extra nourishment, why not give it a helping hand with a gentle facial oil? Despite the name, these products are designed to deeply hydrate skin without leaving behind oiliness or residue.

The simple test that can help prevent cancer - The cervical screening and mammogram campaign at Medcare THROUGHOUT the last decade, Medcare has been providing first class GP and nursing services for Englishspeaking residents on the Costa Blanca. Every year patients are encouraged to take certain vital health tests that are proven to save lives, however, the numbers of women taking up cervical screening is at an alarming 20-year low.

So urgent is this dramatic fall in women going for their screening that Public Health England (PHE) have launched a new campaign to try and encourage more women to participate in the screening programme.

Cervical cancer screening is not a test for cancer, it is a test to help prevent cancer. The screening test checks for abnormal cells in the cervix, which left untreated could turn into cancer. Finding these cell changes early through cervical screening means that they can be monitored and treated. This

NURSE SUSIE: Deals with all women patients. ultimately means that the cells will not get the chance to turn into cervical cancer.

Two women die every day in England from cervical cancer, yet it is one of the most preventable cancers if caught early. It’s tragic such a preventable disease is needlessly affecting so many women.

Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust surveyed more than 2,000

young women about their experiences. It found that 915 women had delayed a test or never gone for screening. This shocking finding shows that nearly half of women might be avoiding their scheduled screening appointment.

When asked what had caused them to delay or miss a test, 72 per cent said embarrassment, while 69 per cent

felt uncomfortable with a stranger examining an intimate area. Almost six in 10 (58 per cent) were scared it would hurt, while 37 per cent did not know what would happen during the test.

At Medcare, all patients see Susie, the nurse, for their screening, which alleviates the embarrassment that many women patients might feel in seeing a male GP or nurse. Also, now, the speculum (the tool used during the test) does not feel as uncomfortable as in years ago. The test itself only takes five minutes and most people leave their appointment stating how it was much less uncomfortable than they remember or were expecting.

In fact, just last month, one patient in her 30’s who had not had a test for several years came to Medcare. Her test showed abnormal cells so she was immediately referred for treatment and now thankfully, her prognosis looks good.

Currently at Medcare, the cervical screening and mammogram are at a reduced price. The cervical test is just 55 euros, the mammogram is 65 euros and if you book both together they are 110 euros. This is a saving of over 30 euros on each test. Don’t put off such a simple test, which could actually save your life.

Book your appointment now on 966 860 258 or email doctors@medcarespain.com.

A mini facelift for lunch?

DO you have folds around the mouth and nose, sunken cheeks, facial scars, deep acne scars or loose skin?

In our 20’s, our skin is the epitome of youth - fresh, plump and wrinkle-free. This is mainly because our bodies are producing an abundance of collagen at this stage of our lives.

Now for those of you who are not in the know, collagen is a protein produced by our cells that help to ‘hold’ the skin together, keeping it looking young, firm and baby smooth. Unfortunately though, this high level of collagen production does not last as we get older. In fact, it starts to decline once we hit our 30’s.

Collagen is one of the important support structures found naturally in our skin, helping to maintain the appropriate tightness, elasticity and suppleness. Over the course of time, our skin gradually loses its natural collagen, leading to facial laxity and the formation of wrinkles and folds. As the ageing skin loses its structural proteins (collagen and elastin), it becomes lax and begins to sag, which contributes to a tired and aged look.

Ellansé is an injectable dermal filler which corrects lines and wrinkles, and also stimulates the body to produce collagen. The results last from one to four years, depending on which product is chosen. The first of a new class of dermal fillers, Ellansé naturally regenerates volume and restores the shape which time has taken away.

With Ellansé, only one session is needed to obtain immediate results and long-lasting correction, making it a cost-effective treatment bringing you excellent value for money. The treatment is only 30-45 min, and can basically be done in your lunch break.

At Derma Clinic Spain we have worked with Ellansé for several years, so don’t hesitate to contact us for a free consultation with our specialist in aesthetic medicine. Until May 24, we have a very special offer on this treatment.

Bowlers’ private dining Relish the risotto Returning from Italy recently I thought about a good easy risotto recipe for beginners which might tickle your taste buds and get you creative. And I have the perfect way to use up salad remnants to create a sweet chutney.

Risotto is an Italian rice dish cooked in stock to a creamy consistency.

The stock may be meat, fish, or vegetable-based. Many types of risotto contain butter, wine, onion and parmesan cheese and it’s definitely the most common way to cook rice in Italy.

For this recipe I have chosen red pepper and chorizo with a hint of garlic and parsley. Try to use risotto rice for this recipe, but if you don’t have any you can

SOCIAL SCENE

A rice time NEW columnist, successful restaurateur chef Dani Bowler, is sharing his passion for cooking with Costa Blanca North readers each week.

The Masterchef contestant promises to reveal delicious and inspired recipes of choice, making it possible to recreate high-end, tasty dishes in the comfort of your own home. Dani opened his first restaurant, The Vintage Cafe in the metropolitan resort of Albir, which quickly became the taste of the town and number one on Trip Advisor as well as being voted the best restaurant in the area.

use thick grain rice (used for paella).

If you have a spare bag of unused tomatoes in the bottom of your fridge then this could be a good recipe and a great excuse to

get cooking.

More like a relish than a true chutney, this spicy delicacy will tingle your taste buds to accompany salads, baguettes and most of all with cheeses and pates!

Chorizo and red pepper risotto • Serves 3-4 Ingredients 1 onion (diced) 2 cloves garlic 1 tbsp fresh parsley 1/2 red pepper diced 1/2 cup pipped olives (diced) 1/2 fresh chorizo 100g parmesan cheese 700 ml stock of chicken stock 2 tbsp olive oil 1½ cups arborio rice 250ml dry white wine 1tbsp butter Method In a saucepan bring stock to the boil and turn down heat. In a

saucepan on a medium heat add olive oil, onion, garlic, red pepper, olives and parsley, cook till onions are soft then add rice and cook for two minutes then add wine and reduce by half.

Slowly add hot stock to just cover the rice. Stir well.

Once the stock is absorbed add more stock and continue adding and stirring until the stock is almost finished.

Meanwhile, sauté sliced chorizo until crisp and golden and set aside. Just as the rice is almost

cooked add the chorizo, parmesan and butter and continue stirring.

Check the consistency and add more stock if too dry. Remember, don’t over cook the rice you are looking for a nice ‘al dente’ texture; over cooking can turn into a rice pudding disaster!

Sweet tomato chutney Ingredients 2kg tomatoes 2 cups sugar Juice and peel of 2 large lemons (peel should be cut into strips) 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar 1 teaspoon sea salt 8 whole cloves 2 bay leaves 1 dried chilli (optional) Method With a potato peeler, peel the skin off the tomatoes in strips.

Cut them in half lengthwise and push out the seeds with your fingers or a spoon.

Cut the tomato halves in half again lengthwise, then cut each quarter into 3/4 pieces. Toss into a saucepan then add all remaining ingredients into the pot with the tomatoes. Set the pot over medium heat and bring to a simmer. It is important to cook this over a very low heat for about one hour or until the marmalade is glossy and thick. Be sure to stir often to prevent burning. Store in jars for up to a month in the fridge.

MOTORING MOTORING FACT PORSCHE would appear to have decided you cannot have too much of a good thing and has launched another Cayenne Coupé variant to its lineup.

The latest incarnation of the speedy cross-over SUV vehicle is now available to order and will arrive at German dealerships at the end of July.

Called the Cayenne S Coupé it sits between the Cayenne Coupé and the Cayenne Turbo Coupé when it comes to power.

The 2.9-litre V6 engine with twin turbocharging is at the heart of the latest model and develops 324 kW (440 PS).

The maximum torque of 550 Nm guarantees powerful acceleration and goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.0 seconds in combination with the standard Sport Chrono Package. This figure drops to 4.9 seconds with the three optional lightweight sports packages. The top speed is 263 km/h.

Prices for the Cayenne S Coupé start at €99,657 including VAT and countryspecific equipment. In addition to the Sport Chrono Package, the standard equipment includes speed-sensitive Power Steering Plus, 20-inch alloy

wheels, Park Assist at the front and rear including reversing camera and Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM).

Porsche is extending the model range with the S Coupé. The Cayenne Coupé with 250 kW (340 PS) and the Cayenne Turbo Coupé with 404 kW (550 PS) will be available at dealerships from the end of May. The highlights of the Coupé include sharper proportions with a unique rear section, an adaptive rear spoiler, two different roof concepts and a rear seat bench with the characteristics of individual seats, with a sitting position that is

lowered by 30 millimetres compared with the Cayenne. The vehicle features a 2.16 m2 panoramic fixed glass roof as standard or optionally a contoured carbon roof with typical sports car look.

The 2.9-litre twin turbo engine of the Cayenne S Coupé delivers its maximum torque of 550 Nm across a wide engine speed range between 1,800 and

5,500 rpm. Both exhaust turbochargers have been arranged in a central turbo layout inside the cylinder V. This results in an engine with compact dimensions, allowing it to be installed in a lower position inside the vehicle. This in turn lowers the centre of gravity and improves lateral dynamics.

The shortened exhaust

paths between the combustion chambers and the turbochargers produce a particularly spontaneous engine response and a faster build-up in power. The exhaust manifold has been integrated into the cylinder head, which reduces the weight and means the manifold is surrounded by coolant. This ensures highly efficient combustion, particularly under full load.

A roof line that drops significantly more steeply towards the rear also lends the Cayenne S Coupé a particularly dynamic appearance. This effect is supported by a fixed roof spoiler, which accentuates the distinctive Coupé silhouette. The front windscreen and A-pillar are shallower than in the Cayenne, courtesy of a roof edge that has been lowered by around 20 millimetres. Newly designed rear doors and wings broaden the shoulders of the vehicle by 18 millimetres, contributing to its overall muscular impression. In each Cayenne Coupé model, a fixed roof spoiler is combined with the new adaptive rear spoiler as part of Porsche Active Aerodynamics (PAA).

The spoiler is harmoniously integrated into its silhouette.

A family affair IT wasn’t just double glory for Spain at the French MotoGP - it was a twin triumph for the Marquez family.

Defending world champion Marc Marquez swept to victory in the main event while his younger brother Alex took the Moto2 race.

Not only was it the elder Marquez’s 47th top level Grand Prix win and third of the season, but it was also a landmark occasion for Honda as it was the team’s 300th elite level win. He finished in front of Italian pair Andrea Dovizioso and Danilo Petrucci of Ducati.

Marquez had started on pole and ended up winning by nearly two seconds as he extended his championship lead over Dovizioso to eight points. He now stands on 95 points.

In third place is another Spaniard, Alex Rins who is 20 points off top spot after a disappointing 10th place on his Suzuki at Le Mans. Italian legend Valentino Rossi of Yamaha is fourth on 72 points after taking fifth place in the latest race.

By Dilip Kuner IN a hugely disappointing weekend for the Spanish motor racing legend, Fernando Alonso’s dream of an Indianapolis 500 victory was shattered when he failed to qualify by just 0.019mph.

He was fourth fastest out of six drivers who were competing for the final three places on the grid via a four-lap speed test.

He managed a 227.353mph average, which ultimately was not quite good enough with American Kyle Kaiser squeezing him out on the last run of

‘bump day.’ Earlier, Alonso had finished 31st in qualifying, with the top 30 making the grid.

Alonso had left F1 - in which he was twice champion - with the declared intention of winning the Indianapolis 500 as part of his campaign to win the ‘triple crown.’ It is an unofficial title which involves winning three of motorsports’ most prestigious events, the Indianapolis 500, the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Monaco Grand Prix.

Only one driver in history has managed the feat - the UK’s Graham Hill. Alonso has two of the titles in the bag, with him claiming the Le Mans trophy alongside Toyota teammates, Kazuki Nakajima and Sébastien Buemi last year. His win at Monaco came in 2007.

Speaking on social media after failing in Indianapolis he said: ‘A difficult week, no doubts,’ adding: ‘We tried our best, even today with a com-

It’s never easy to drive around here at 227mph+, and want more speed... We tried our best and we’ve been brave at times, but there were people doing better job than us.

‘Success or disappointments only come if you accept big challenges. We accepted.

Thanks to the massive support always here at the speedway and everyone at home.”

This was the second time the 37-year-old has made an appearance at the 2.5-mile track nicknamed ‘The Brickyard.’ In 2017 he led for 27 laps after qualifying fifth in a McLaren

branded car for the Mario Andretti team. An engine failure put paid to his challenge in the closing laps.

This year McLaren decided to set up their own team rather than piggyback on the highly succesful Andretti organisation, but the result did not go their way.

A series of problems in practice, including a high-speed crash, left Alonso and McLaren struggling to catch up in the weekend qualifying.

The other two drivers to make it on to the grid on ‘bump day’ were Canadian James Hinchcliffe and American Sage Karam. The race, over 200 laps, is on Sunday at 7.30pm.
