BLUE BADGES: British nationals are no longer easily able to park freely and accessibly.
ON Thursday, June 16 the Euro Weekly News an‐ nounced the launch of its My Blue Badge = My Free‐ dom campaign to try to help improve the lives of disabled UK nationals living in and visiting Spain. Our petition calling on the Spanish and UK govern‐
ments to work together to reach an agreement over the use of Blue Badges in Spain has since collected hundreds of signatures and we are calling on all our readers to continue to help out by signing. This campaign started af‐ ter hearing from readers
who had found that they had been left unable to eas‐ ily access shops, doctor’s appointments and other vi‐ tal services after many found their badges had stopped being accepted last year.

Blue Badge Campaign While it has always been a re‐ quirement for those with Spanish residency to apply for a Spanish disabled badge, the Euro Weekly News knows that many may have left this late fol‐ lowing Brexit, often be‐ cause many found the appli‐ cation process daunting and had hoped for the reciprocal agree‐ ment between the UK and Spain to stay in place. We believe that there is a compassion‐ ate solution to this, and that the two gov‐ ernments should work together to allow a grace period where British residents in Spain can use their badges while applying for a Spanish one. These people are not the only ones af‐ fected however, with disabled British na‐ tionals on holiday in Spain now no longer easily able to park freely and accessibly. Those who live in Spain up to 90 days at a time, or those who have just moved to the country, are also in the same boat, with many unable to use their UK Blue
Badges while they apply for a Spanish equivalent. Spain is one of the few EU countries not to have reached a decision over UK Blue Badges and we want to find a solution that means that no one, whether resident or tourist, feels cut off or isolated from basic services because of their dis‐

ATLETICO DE MARBELLA: Board Directors Giancarlo Cultrera, Alessandro Gaucci and John Frutos.
ON Thursday, June 16, the board of directors of Atletico de Marbella unveiled their new president, one of Italy’s biggest names in football, Alessandro Gaucci. In a serious coup for the fifth division club, Gaucci, re‐ sponsible for taking his own club Perugia from the third division to the first, vowed to take the Marbella club as far as it could go, not ruling out setting his sights on the
first division. Always a pioneer in the world of football ‐ Gaucci and his family were the first club owners to bring international players to Italy and the first to put a female manager in charge of a first division club ‐ Alessandro told the Euro Weekly News he also wants to launch a women’s team at the club this season. Explaining that he thinks women’s football is likely to
become big news at a provin‐ cial level within Spain in the next few years, Gaucci said he is also set on taking the female team to the top. Speaking at Da Bruno Sul Mare, Marbella at an event to announce his directorship Gaucci told the EWN that he considered the role an “amaz‐ ing project,” and added: “My goal is to bring an unknown club like this to the first divi‐ sion in Spain.”

Ask for Angela MIJAS Council supports the ‘Ask for Angela’ campaign to protect women from danger when worried about uncomfortable approaches in bars and nightclubs. First inaugurated in the UK in 2016, the concept is that if any woman feels at risk of ‘stranger danger’ whilst in a participating hostelry, they can simply use the code phrase ‘Ask for Angela’ and staff will call either 112 or Local Police for assistance whilst keeping an eye on the person involved. Posters will be placed in women’s toilets explaining the campaign in both Spanish and

English as with its large number of foreign residents (9,000 plus) as well as tourists, many of whom are English speakers, the assistance can’t just be limited to those who speak Spanish. Indeed, the council has confirmed that more than 50 per
cent of those offered help at the Mijas Women’s Centre for gender violence have been foreigners. This initiative has become a reality in Mijas thanks to the work of Viogenex (VioIencia de Género a Extranjeras - Gender Violence against Foreign
Women) which is a work group established to help foreign women who are or have been gender violence victims and has been initiated by the Foreigners Department at the Mijas Town Hall. Those involved in the group include the Mijas Departments of Equality and Diversity, Foreigners and Local Police as well as the social groups of Soroptimist International Costa del Sol, La Cala de Mijas Lions Club, Age Care and the Red Cross. So, if you are a woman in a bar in Mijas and feel threatened just ‘Ask for Angela’ and all should be well.

IT was announced on Friday, June 17, that Fuengirola Council and the Gecor company presented a competition to reward responsi‐ ble use of the beach during the Night of San Juan in the Malaga municipality. Fuengirola councillors Javier Hidalgo and Isabel Gon‐ zalez explained that to participate, you only have to download the ‘Juntos Fuengirola Avanza’ app and upload before and after pho‐ tos of the stay on the coastline. For the participants, three prizes, of two tickets each, will be raffled for the concert that Melendi will hold on July 9 at Marenostrum Fuengirola. “Unfortunately, the night of San Juan is the date of the year when the most waste is generated on our beaches. That is why the council is aware of this aspect and this year we are going to organise two cleaning opera‐ tions for our coastline,” explained Hidalgo.
Volunteer drivers wanted now RETIREMENT is great. Sun, sea, sand and sangria, of course. But more importantly we have choices and the time to fulfill them. When I retired I made the choice to do whatev‐ er I wanted but truthfully, I soon got bored. I missed pur‐ pose so I became a volunteer driver with Age Concern. All they wanted was just a few
hours of my free time and in return I got a load of enjoy‐ ment, and very generous ex‐ penses from my home! Great team, a few hours a week driv‐ ing clients to their medical ap‐ pointments and the backup of a professional charity.

Malaga airport arrest Promenade repairs AS reported by the Provincial Police Station on Monday, June 20, two individuals were ar‐ rested at Malaga airport in the early hours of Thursday June 16, after they attempted to use
alleged fake identifica‐ tion to board a flight. A 28‐year‐old male and a 30‐year‐old female were detained by Na‐ tional Police officers on duty at the Costa del Sol facility during a border
inspection control. After trying to board a flight to London, they are be‐ ing held on suspicion of the crime of allegedly using false documenta‐ tion. Presenting themselves at the control booth, the couple gave the police officer the passports that supposedly identi‐ fied them. As indicated through a police state‐ ment, these documents showed signs of manipu‐ lation after a first exami‐ nation. Subsequently, once the appropriate docu‐ mentation verifications were carried out in the police offices, the exis‐ tence of falsification was verified. Both people were immediately ar‐ rested as allegedly re‐ sponsible for the crime of false documentation and made available to the judicial authorities, as reported by local Spanish press.
ESTEPONA Town Council informed the public on Monday, June 20, that the emergency works carried out on the section of the Arena Beach urbanisation promenade have been completed.

This action has focused mainly on the repair of a sinkhole that had to be de‐ limited to avoid accidents to passers‐by. A breakwater wall has al‐ so been placed next to the sanitation manholes, which prevents the structures from being affected by pos‐ sible earth movements.

Petrol station objection RESIDENTS in Mijas are against sit‐ ing of a new petrol station on the Av e n i d a d e M i j a s a n d a r e c a m ‐ paigning to stop this happening.

The resident’s associations con‐ cern is that of safety, although they recognise that an accident is unlike‐ ly, but not impossible, and because it would be situated 30 metres away from a coal and firewood store, the potential risk is in‐ creased.
There are also five schools within a radius of 300 metres and parents have also expressed their concern. The residents do not understand how at a time when the replace‐ ment of fossil fuels is necessary, the construction of a new petrol station is being considered, espe‐ cially when there are already some 20 similar service stations within a five‐kilometre radius. Planning permission is currently being sought from the Mijas Council and those opposed to the develop‐ ment have already collected more than 500 signatures on a petition opposing the construction.

Hope for electric prices SPAIN’S Pedro Sánchez announced on Wednesday, June 22 that Spain will lower t h e V AT o n e l e c t r i c i t y from 10 per cent to 5

Madrid resident investigated THE Guardia Civil announced, on Saturday June 18, that a fraud investigation is being conducted into a resident of Madrid who allegedly sold fake tickets online for the recent Champions League final in Paris. He is believed to have sold fraudulent tickets to at least 15 people from different provinces, pocketing €1,500 in the pro‐ cess. ‘Operation Entrafador’ was launched on May 25, fol‐ lowing a complaint from a resident of Avila. He claimed to have been scammed when he bought two tickets to attend the match between Real Madrid and Liverpool. Investigators quickly verified that the victim had bought the tickets on a portal selling second‐hand items and made the payment through an online ser‐ vice provider. They subsequently discovered that there was not just the one victim. At least 14 other people had allegedly fallen victim to a resident of the Arroyomolinos district of Madrid.

Next we will reduce it from 10 to 5 per cent to continue protecting citizens from the ef‐ fects of war,” the President of the Span‐ ish government tweet‐ ed on Wednesday, June 22. “We hope that all groups support the measure for the bene‐ fit of families, busi‐ nesses and industries in the country.” The measure would mean a saving of €6 on average per household (with the current price of electricity). In addition, it would place Spain as the country with the cheapest VAT on elec‐ tricity in the European Union together with Malta and Greece.

Cudeca’s birthday Joined the celebrations.
ON Saturday, June 18, Cudeca celebrated its 30th anniver‐ sary.
Taking place at Grace Restaurant, located in Riviera, this was a wonderful opportu‐
nity for workers, friends, and business supporters to come together in support of Cudeca. My companion for the event was the wonderful Val Williams, who holds a special place in her heart for Cudeca. Val is well‐known for her own charity and fundraising work here on the Costa Del Sol over the years. Joan Hunt, the original founder of Cudeca, and Val were great friends, and Val believe it or not was one of Cudeca’s first ever do‐ nations from a cake sale. Val runs a group ‘Simply Thriving’ boasting more than 1,500 members. I felt privileged to share the afternoon with her. The event began at 1.30pm on the terrace, where al‐ though it was very hot, there was plenty of shade. We were welcomed with Cava and a de‐ lightful selection of canapes that almost seemed never ending. We then moved to the dining room which again was lovely and cool. Ester Raez, Communication and Fundraising Manager, was a wonderful host and we all chatted throughout the after‐ noon. Keen to engage with other tables, Val and I chatted with others about their con‐ nection with Cudeca. Patrick, one of Cudeca’s vol‐ unteers, told me that he had

Inma from Helicopteros Sanitarios said she was, “very pleased to be a part of such a wonderful cele‐ bration.” We enjoyed a fabulous four‐ course meal accompanied with wine. Following the meal Dr Marisa Martín addressed the room and certainly made everyone feel involved in this great celebration. There was a wonderful sense of solidarity throughout the whole event. Grace is an excellent venue for an event in my opinion. I was very impressed with the food and the service. Following the meal the sur‐ prise guest was announced, Stelvis. What better way to spend your Saturday! Val was first on the floor, and it wasn’t long before others joined her. Stelvis did a great job and had everyone rocking and rolling. Val is testament that age is just a number! The afternoon was finished
with a raffle and Esther calcu‐ lated they had raised around €3,000. Cudeca is an institution here on the Costa del Sol and one we are very proud of.

MARBELLA MOMENTS BY NICOLE KING I HAD most of my column written for this week’s #Mar‐ bellaMoments but then I met Chris Keville. The intro‐ duction came through my
Operation Jigsaw lovely Kathryn Stevenson who thought his project worthy of being shared; I totally agree and would ask you all to pass it on to your friends and for
them to then do likewise. Chris’ goal is simple: to cre‐ ate a global support platform for those suffering with PTSD (post traumatic stress disor‐ der) and other mental health issues. He’s called it Opera‐ tion Jigsaw: to help put the pieces back together. Chris served for 14 years as a submariner and knows all too well what a human being can be subjected to, physical‐ ly and emotionally. What they witness will undeniably haunt them for a lifetime and there’s no system in place to help them cope with a ‘nor‐ mal’ life. Chris explains: “The pre‐ dictable downward spiral can lead to many a ruined rela‐ tionship and broken home. Many turn to substance abuse to cope. They can be‐ come homeless and further their self‐abuse. Ultimately this often leads to many tak‐ ing their lives.” The idea to
create a support platform came to Chris whilst sit‐ ting in a bar in Belfast, Maine after a Vietnam vet entered the bar in his uni‐ form, but also with a wig, make‐up and nail varnish. Everyone had laughed at him but he clearly had mental health issues and needed to be befriended, not ridiculed. Chris clarifies “Our aim is to provide a ‘safe place’ plat‐ form where people are able to reach out to talk to each other when they feel they need to. Sometimes you lie awake at 2am with no one to talk to. There will always be someone around the world who also needs to talk. This is not therapy, nor do you have to reveal who you are. You can be totally anonymous.

talk any time day or night with people who feel similar.” Suicide prevention help‐ lines were a main topic in last year’s United Nationalities of Marbella summit #UN‐ MS2021 so I fully appreciate how Chris’ initiative is going to fill a much‐needed gap.

School absence monitored THE government has announced that it wants to monitor the absence of pupils nationally, with unauthorised absences such as taking holidays dur‐ ing term‐time costing up to £120. The UK government announced, on June 18, that it intends to end the post‐code lottery by issuing a £120 fine for all parents who take their chil‐ dren on holiday during the term. A consultation paper released by the government proposes that an elec‐ tronic register of all pupils be kept, in‐ to which all schools would be required to enter attendance data. That infor‐
mation would then be made available to the education secretary and locally to councils. No thresholds have yet been dis‐ cussed but parents whose children have five days of unauthorised ab‐ sence or lateness within one term, take holidays during term time, or are out in public during the first five days of an exclusion, will face a fixed penal‐ ty notice. If agreed and implemented, the change could see parents who were fined more than twice in a school year being prosecuted.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
BORN on January, 4, 1937, 85‐ year‐old William ‘Mickey’ Stevenson is an extremely tal‐ ented songwriter, writing and producing huge hits such as ‘Dancing in the Street’ per‐ formed by Martha & the Vandel‐ las, ‘It Takes Two’ performed by Marvin Gaye and Kim Weston and ‘Nothing’s too good for my baby’ performed by Stevie Won‐ der. He sat down to talk, exclusive‐ ly, with the Euro Weekly News, about his impressive career. A veteran of the music indus‐ try, known as the original Mo‐ town A&R man, Mickey Steven‐ son scouted for promising new talents for Berry Gordy’s Mo‐ town labels, pushing huge household names including Ste‐ vie Wonder, the Funk Brothers and The Supremes. “I’m not a genius, I just have a gift, a God‐given gift as I say, I believe we all have one, and not just one but two or three. For me it was seeing talent in young artists when other people did‐ n’t,” stated Stevenson.

MICKEY STEVENSON: A veteran of the music industry.
“It happened with Stevie Wonder when he was just 11 years old, I told Berry we had to push this kid, at that age he had something that a lot of people don’t have even after graduating
music at college, and if nobody pushed that, he was gonna lose it.” In 1959 Mickey Stevenson joined Berry Gordy’s record label when it was first founded, initial‐
ly known as Tamla and a year later changed to Motown records. Mickey Stevenson would go on to not only prove his worth as Motown’s A&R man through‐ out his life, but also as a writer and producer. Speaking on the inspiration behind his biggest hit ‘Dancing In The Street’ Steven‐ son stated: “That’s my favourite song, it holds such happy memories of when we were kids and we used to break fire hydrants and play and dance in the street under the water. “We bled those streets,” re‐ called Stevenson as he laughed. But Mickey Stevenson’s suc‐ cessful career does not stop there, in latter years he’s pro‐ duced a large number of stage musicals such as ‘Memories of Motown’, ‘The Gospel Truth’
and more recently ‘Sang Sister Sang,’ about some of the most iconic women of colour to ever live. This includes Dorothy Dan‐ dridge, Dinah Washington, Eartha Kitt, Lena Horne, Mahalia Jackson, Billie Holiday, and Bessie Smith. Speaking on the musical Mick‐ ey stated: “Women have gone through hell, and are still going through a part of it, you ask your mother or sister, they’ll tell you the walls they face just because they’re women, which is crazy. That’s why writing on these things is important.” On June 16, 2022, Mickey Stevenson was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in New York City alongside Mariah Carey, Steve Miller, and The Isley Brothers amongst others. “I was shocked when I heard the news, but it’s such an hon‐ our to even be considered and to know that all these people voted me in when I thought they didn’t even know me, it’s crazy. “I have a hunch it will be my old friend Smokey Robinson who inducts me, but he wouldn’t tell me even if it was him,” laughed Stevenson.

Coal coming back EUROPE is heading back to using coal as Russia slows gas flow, it was reported on June 20. Some of Europe’s biggest receivers of Rus‐ sian gas have been searching to find an al‐ ternative fuel supply. This has led to consider‐ ing burning more coal. Reduced gas flows from Russia have
threatened an energy crisis, come winter, if stocks are not being re‐ placed. Eni, Italy’s main ener‐ gy supplier, said it had been informed by Rus‐ sia’s main supplier, Gazprom, that it would only receive part of its request for gas. Eni has confirmed that this will push the country closer
to declaring a state of alert that will spark gas‐ saving measures. On Sunday June 19, Germany also faced re‐ ceiving lower Russian gas supplies and they announced the plan to increase gas storage lev‐ els and said it could restart coal‐fired power plants that it had aimed to phase out.
Civil Society Prize THE objective of this year’s CESE Civil Society Prize is to create a better fu‐ ture for young people and to help vic‐ tims of the Ukrainian war. The European Economic and Social Committee is receiving its candidates for the Civil Society prize 2022, that recognises innovative and creative projects and initiatives in two cate‐ gories: young people’s training and support for the Ukrainian civilians af‐ fected by the terrible events in their war torn country.
The prizes, with a total provision of €60,000, will be given to a maximum of six winners, three for each category. The award ceremony will take place on December 14 and 15, 2022, during the CESE conference in Brussels. The candidates for the awards will be finalised at 10am on July 31, 2022. The projects can be finalised or on‐ going. Projects which are proposed but the carrying out of which has not be‐ gun by July 31, 2022 will not qualify for the award.

Parking for electric cars WITH petrol prices rising rapidly, governments around the world are looking to see what they can do to encour‐ age the switch to electric and other alternatives, with one Dutch Minister suggesting a solution could be lower park‐ ing fees. The suggestion being con‐ sidered for all major centres in the Netherlands is that owners of electric, hydrogen and non‐oil‐fuelled vehicles pay less for parking their cars in town centres, at shopping centres, airports and other pay‐to‐park places. The proposal, which could be introduced as early as IRISH TV presenter, 43‐year‐ old Aideen Kennedy died on Sunday June 19, following a long illness. Aideen was a popular jour‐ nalist and a familiar face on UTV news bulletins over the years. On June 17 Aideen up‐ dated her Twitter fans with her condition in a Tweet that read: “So life has not gone well and I am as sick as I was as when I

SAVINGS: People are encouraged to switch to electric cars.
2023 according to Junior Minister Vivianne Heijnen, could see owners of hydro‐ gen and electric cars saving upwards of €500 annually. This would add to the sav‐ ings already provided through lower licensing fees.
Given that some councils have already opted to pro‐ vide free parking for hydro‐ gen and electric vehicles, the proposal is to allow councils to make the decision whether to offer the dis‐ count.
Irish star dies went into hospital, so essen‐ tially going home to die but getting palliative care. “The kids know. If you ever come across them, will you keep an eye out for them, they are the kindest, sweetest most thoughtful kiddies.”
Alongside, Aideen shared selfies with her young children Jacob and Eva, whose exact ages are unknown. They had made a card for her saying, “To mummy, I hope you get well soon. Love you loads.”

MADRID: Pedro Sánchez and Teresa Ribera at GENERA 2022.
SPAIN is to invest a further €225 mil‐ lion to make electric car charging easier according to a statement by President Pedro Sánchez at the GENERA 2022 Fair in Madrid on Wednesday June 15. This investment announced through the Electric Vehicle Recharging Infrastructure Working Group is in addition to the €400 mil‐ lion previously committed which has already been spent in almost all of the autonomous communities. Electric vehicles are, he believes, the future and the number of elec‐ tric vehicle registrations already ex‐ ceeds the threshold of 10 per cent of
the total, in less than a year so that Spain will have a backbone deploy‐ ment of more than 1,000 recharging points throughout the national terri‐ tory. This is only the ‘tip of the iceberg’ as with the latest injection of cash, the government has received com‐ mitments for another 27,000 charg‐ ing points to be installed throughput Spain. Addressing the matter alongside Minister for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge, Teresa Ribera, the President ex‐ plained that Spain is the second largest vehicle producer in Europe
and the eighth in the world. With 17 production plants owned by nine manufacturers the sector ac‐ counts for 8 per cent of Spain’s gross domestic product and Sánchez wants to see an increase in the num‐ ber of models of electric vehicles generated in the country with Spain becoming leaders in the manufac‐ ture of batteries, components and recharging infrastructures. The Strategic Project for the Re‐ covery and Economic Transforma‐ tion (PERTE) of the Electric and Con‐ nected Vehicle (VEC) is endowed with a historic public investment of almost €4.3 billion.
Claim against Apple UK consumer champion Justin Gut‐ man has launched a claim against Ap‐ ple for allegedly ‘throttling’ a number of older iPhones by installing a new up‐ date which slowed them down. The claim is against Apple Inc (and its subsidiaries) for breaching UK competi‐ tion law through its exploitative and abusive behaviour in relation to the supply of iPhones and iOS updates. It is what is known as a class action with Mr Gutman acting on behalf of all members of the class who don’t have to take part in the court case. He is re‐ sponsible for making sure their inter‐ ests are put first throughout the con‐ duct of the claim which is for £768 million. A number of different iPhones rang‐

ing from iPhone 6 to 8 as well as X are affected and his legal team will argue that the company misled users over an upgrade that it said would enhance performance but, in fact, slowed phones down. The reason for this was allegedly be‐ cause Apple sold iPhones with defec‐
tive batteries that were unable to de‐ liver peak power and they encouraged owners to allow automatic iOS up‐ dates to iPhones which incorporated a power management tool which slowed down the iPhones and caused performance issues. Commenting on the claim, Apple told the British press: “We have never, and would never, do anything to … de‐ grade the user experience to drive cus‐ tomer upgrades. “Our goal has always been to create products that our customers love, and making iPhones last as long as possible is an important part of that.” Similar actions have been brought in the past in the USA which included a significant pay‐out by Apple.
Scorchio SPARE a thought for workers in the UK who are not used to the same high temperatures that we often experience here in Spain. As Britain basks in an‐ other heatwave, many will find it uncomfortable to work in shops and of‐ fices but despite what many may think, there is no law in the UK to pro‐ tect workers who are suf‐ fering from excessive heat. There is advice and guidance that work‐ places should be kept to a ‘reasonable’ tempera‐ ture and unions recom‐ mend that the maximum reasonable temperature is 30°C or 27°C if work is strenuous, but neither that nor a minimum working temperature can be enforced as the laws stand.

Only founded in 2018 and having had to suffer two years of negative growth due to the pan‐ demic, the company has recently been taken over by Canadian green in‐ vestment company House of Lithium for $100 million (€95.6 mil‐ lion). Reby owns more than 10,000 vehicles and is now promoting its ser‐ vices to corporate com‐ panies rather than solely to individuals.

FUNERAL plan provider, Golden Leaves, is on track to become regulated by the FCA after securing ‘Minded to Approve’ status. Just one of a few funeral plan providers now very likely to achieve full regulation, the new FCA ruling will come into force on July 29, 2022, by which time it will become a criminal offence for any non-regulated provider to sell or administer a funeral plan. Announced in July 2021, the FCA advised this latest move would ‘enhance’ consumer protection and ensure all plans are sold fairly, perform as expected and provide value for money. A leading independent funeral plan provider, Golden Leaves has long adhered to standards of excellence, having played a major role in the development of the FPA [Funeral Planning Authority]

Bank of England Twitter announcement.
THE Bank of England increased UK inter‐ est rates to 1.25 per cent following a meeting of the Monetary Policy Com‐ mittee (MPC) held on June 15, but not announced until the following day. The MCP sets monetary policy to meet the 2 per cent inflation target but in a way that helps to sustain growth and employment. Members of the Committee voted by a majority of 6‐3 to increase Bank Rate by 0.25 percentage points but those members in the minority preferred to in‐
crease Bank Rate by 0.5 percentage points, to 1.5 per cent. It confirmed that its central projec‐ tions in the May Monetary Policy Re‐ port, UK GDP growth was expected to slow sharply over the first half of the forecast period and, although the labour market was expected to tighten slightly further in the near term, the unemploy‐ ment rate was projected to rise to 5.5 per cent in three years’ time. CPI inflation was expected to average slightly over 10 per cent at its peak in the
fourth quarter of 2022 and the MPC forecasts that inflation would drop to 2 per cent within two years. The base rate is the interest rate the Bank of England charges other banks and lenders when they borrow money, but low base rates doesn’t benefit con‐ sumer borrowing as banks and other lenders charge around 25 per cent inter‐ est on credit cards. Any increase in the bank rate is gener‐ ally reflected in an increase in loan and credit card interest rates.
Spanish exports soar SPANISH exports reached just under €121 billion to the end of April, a new all‐ time high the Spanish government confirmed on Thursday June 16. Spanish merchandise exports rose by 23.2 per cent in the first four months of 2022 compared to the same period last year. Imports also reached an all‐time high and rose by 39 per cent to €142.7 bil‐ lion as shown in the latest declared trade data from Customs. The Secretary of State for Trade, Xiana Mendez, confirmed that “trade in goods continued to be very dynamic in April and Spanish exports contin‐ ued to grow strongly, stronger than the exports of our main trading part‐ ners.”

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT PERSONALLY, I don’t think the crime wave of tsunami proportions, which is at the moment practically engulfing the UK, has very little to do with the country’s lack of police resources. I believe a large part of the blame can be firmly apportioned to the breakdown of the family unit. Huge numbers of families across the UK have for years taken full advantage of the liberal benefit policies of successive governments. Child benefits have been a particularly lucrative source of earnings. Consequently, many children have been conceived and born purely to add to the family income. This has resulted in enormous dysfunctional families, of individuals, particularly immigrants, to whom benefits are a way of life and children merely a means to a financial end. There is no love or guidance in these families. Once the children’s purpose has been served, they are left to roam the streets with no sense of decency or compassion for their fellow human beings whatsoever. How could there be when there have been no examples of it at home? Once let loose, they link
23 - 29 June 2022
No guidance up with likeminded offsprings of their fellow dysfunctional neighbours and begin to run riot. They soon begin to realise, that the impossibly priced electronic devices and expensive ‘toys’ they have been bombarded with on television, are completely out of their financial reach‐ even if they took a ‘proper’ job. So, they turn to crime. This includes knifing and young murders in some areas which now seem to be publicised for a day and then forgotten! To be honest I can see no answer to the immediate situation. Lock up as many of them as possible I suppose. As to the future, only allowing child benefits for up to two children would be a start. At least this would curb the temptation to pour even more unwanted and unloved future criminals into our society. More police are certainly needed, but only because the numbers of young criminals have escalated so alarmingly. I would like to see Boot Camps built all across the country, where these young offenders can be sent to learn discipline, values and respect for their fellow human beings. Trades could be taught. Even
simply showing someone actually cares may rescue at least a proportion of them that can then be released to become valued members of society. Although Spain also has some problems with young offenders, it is nothing like the enormous criminal issues confronting the UK at this time. I firmly believe that a great deal of this lies in the simple fact that the Spanish family unit is still as strong as ever. Love and respect are firmly entwined and practised from Grannies and Grandads down to the youngest of the broods and although I do feel they spoil some of their kids rotten, it’s infinitely better than chucking them out to survive with no pre‐preparation, guidance or sense of decency whatsoever.

DURING the pandemic, squatting in Spain rose by 2.7 per cent in 2020 compared to 2019, according to data from the Secretary of State for Security. This increase could be partly due to holiday and second homes being left empty. Here are some tips on how to protect your home. Rent your property out You can rent out your property if it is empty to avoid the risk of squatters. This will also give you economic benefits. Alarms The best way to avoid any scares or break‐ins is to install an alarm that is connected to the police. This will provide security because if the property is illegally occupied, the state security forces will be able to act immediately, alleg‐ ing a break‐in or burglary. Home automation systems There are other affective tools you can utilise to avoid squatters. Install a system that turns the lights and televi‐ sion on and off, or opens and closes the blinds. This will make it appear as though someone is occupying the house, making it a less obvious target for squatters. Stay off social media Do not post on social media networks that you will be away from your property.
PROPERTY and real estate website idealista has added a new search filter that allows users to select accessible homes, that is, adapted to people with re‐ duced mobility. This makes idealista the first real es‐ tate Marketplace in Spain with this new functionality. In the details of the homes advertised in ideal‐ ista it was already possible to write information about whether the home is suit‐ able for use by people with reduced mobility. And now
Virtual property tours BUYING a property is excit‐ ing but can also be a stressful process, in between search‐ ing for your dream home in the best location and arrang‐ ing viewings ‐ particularly if you don’t yet live in the area. So, what are the benefits of virtually touring your po‐ tential new home and what exactly is a virtual tour? A virtual tour will help you to see a property in great de‐ tail, with a listing tour pro‐ viding a short journey through each room in the property. It will usually fea‐ ture close up shots of inter‐ esting features, starting at the front door. A 360‐degree virtual tour is a superior version of a

All of them services aimed at improving the user experience and making the process of buying or renting a home more accessible.
A real‐time virtual tour is usually carried out through Zoom, where a vendor will show buyers around the property while discussing features of the property. You can even view proper‐
ties that haven’t been built yet with Virtual Reality Reali‐ sation software. This is a computer‐generated tour that shows you, very realisti‐ cally, what that property will look like once it’s complete. With so many properties of varied types on the Costa del Sol, it could take forever to visit your potential new home in person! It is also dif‐ ficult to remember all of the features of each property, however, with virtual tours you can visit the property several times from the com‐ fort of your own home. Once you have viewed a selection, you can then decide which properties to view in person, saving you valuable time.

Within Andalucia, Malaga is the most active in the market by far. THE first four months of 2022 registered the highest number of transactions on the Costa del Sol since 2007, with an aver‐ age of 181 sales per day between the months of January and April ‐ confirming that sales in the south are on the in‐ crease! According to the Spanish Institute of Statistics (INE), the provincial property market on the Costa del Sol continues to be the fourth busiest in Spain for sales and ranks third for new builds. Data published by the INE in mid‐June confirms that the market is on fire on the Costa del Sol, with over 14,000 sales in the four month period ‐ this is the highest since 2007. Topping the sales table was Madrid with 28,738 transac‐ tions, followed by Barcelona with 21,782. Alicante and the Costa Blanca, in third place, registered slightly more than Malaga (15,097). However, the Costa del Sol is now at third place on the national table for new builds, with the third‐highest figure ever for new builds changing hands in the province (3,355). In regional terms, Malaga Province stands out among all of the eight in Andalucia, with its real estate transactions considerably higher than any of the other provinces. For example, Sevilla was the second province in the table for property sales with almost 8,000 transactions. However, this figure is 77.4 per cent below those registered in Malaga.

Hide redness with green concealer WHY is it that celebrities seem to have perfect skin? Is it diet? Is it genetics? Is it some type of expensive treat‐ ment? Well, make‐up works wonders. Cosmetic products and make‐up techniques have advanced so much over the years that the results can be practically perfect‐look‐ ing skin. However, you don’t have to be a celebrity to achieve the same effect. As strange as it may seem, a green concealer can be your best friend. Continue reading to find out why it works and how to apply it. Why green concealer works If you have ever had any type of blemish on your face, you may have tried to cover it up with make‐up that was the colour of your skin. But have you ever tried green con‐ cealer? Green and red are opposite each other on the colour wheel, so when they are brought together, they neutralise each other. This makes green concealer an ex‐ tremely effective way of hiding imperfections such as scars, spots or rosacea. How to apply green concealer Wash and moisturise your skin as normal. Apply your foundation. Apply a small amount of the green concealer to any red areas. Gently dab with your finger, a concealer brush or a make‐up sponge to blend it in. Be gentle so as not to irritate any spots ‐ rubbing too hard will only make them look red‐ der. Now apply another concealer that matches your skin tone on top of the green concealer. Seal everything in with some translucent face powder. All ready! POOR CIRCULATION: The pain caused by varicose veins can be made worse by the heat.

Avoid summer ear infections YOU probably know that your skin needs extra atten‐ tion during the summer to protect it from the sun’s rays, but you might not think about your ears so much. Whether you prac‐ tise water sports in the sea or prefer to spend an hour at the local swimming pool, the large amounts of hu‐ midity can lead to an infec‐ tion of the middle ear (acute otitis media) or the outer ear (acute otitis ex‐ terna). The problem is not that water gets into the ears, but that it does not dry properly afterwards, as the humid environment is an ideal condition for an infec‐ tion. This is why you should follow the guidelines given below to help protect your ears. ‐ If you tend to get ear in‐ fections, you will need cus‐ tom‐made earplugs, as generic earplugs will not keep water out fully. ‐ Earwax is necessary be‐ cause it helps to maintain a

pH that makes infections more difficult, and you should not try to remove it completely. If your ears be‐ come blocked, you can have the wax removed by your doctor. ‐ Dry your ears with a
towel and your finger. You do not need to obsess about drying them com‐ pletely. Avoid using cotton buds or other objects to clean your ears. ‐ Avoid swimming in dirty or stagnant water.
‐ Give your ears time to dry before you go swim‐ ming again and avoid con‐ stantly having your head underwater. When you get out of the water, remove your earplugs so that your ears can ventilate.
Preventing painful varicose veins VARICOSE VEINS are an indi‐ cation of poor blood circula‐ tion. Although they are often considered an aesthetic prob‐
lem, they can affect your health, as they are dilated veins in which blood accumu‐ lates and has difficulty return‐
ing to the heart. The most common symp‐ toms are aching, throbbing and swelling, which may get worse with the summer heat. Preventing varicose veins is not always possible, as causes include pregnancy, genetic fac‐ tors, obesity and standing for many hours. However, you can minimise discomfort with the following tips. Raise your legs: Lie on your bed with your legs up against the wall for several minutes to get your circulation going. You can also sleep with your legs
raised by placing a blanket or pillow under them. Aloe vera: Aloe vera gel can help to calm itching. There are also other soothing products on the market that contain in‐ gredients such as butcher’s broom and horse chestnut. Move around: If you spend most of your time sitting, get up often. If you stand all the time, find time to rest and raise your legs. Try rotating your an‐ kles, standing on tiptoe and tensing your leg muscles to stimulate blood flow. Of course, regular exercise is es‐ sential anyway. Other treatments: Try apply‐ ing a hot damp towel to the varicose veins for a few min‐ utes, and then do the same again with a cold cloth. Alter‐ nate several times. Gentle massages can also be helpful. Remember, if the discom‐ fort is severe, the best thing to do is seek advice from a quali‐ fied medical professional.

FRUIT JUICES: The summer is the perfect time to try new combinations.
Tamsin Brown AS the temperatures soar, there is nothing better than a cool drink to help us cope with the heat. Fruit juices are one of the best options for this, as not only are they hy‐ drating, but they are also rich in a variety of different nutri‐ ents. Read on to find out what some of the best juices are for summer and how they can be combined. Orange Orange juice is one of the most popular juices all year round, standing out for its vi‐ tamin C content. But this fruit
is also extremely versatile and allows an infinite number of combinations. Try orange and mango juice; orange, pineap‐ ple and strawberry juice; or‐ ange and apple juice; or or‐ ange, carrot and ginger juice. Pineapple This tangy tropical fruit is ideal for summer. Pineapple juice can be combined with many other flavours to create a healthy and nutrient‐rich drink. Some delicious combi‐ nations include pineapple, ba‐ nana and lime juice; pineap‐ ple and blackberry juice; and pineapple, apple and cucum‐ ber juice.
Watermelon Watermelon is one of the quintessential summer fruits. Its high water content makes it ideal as a refreshing way of combating the heat. Try wa‐ termelon, banana and apple juice; watermelon juice with ginger; and watermelon and strawberry juice. Melon Melon is yet another sum‐ mer fruit that contains a high amount of water, so it is also a good candidate for delicious summer juices. Try melon juice with mint; melon and watermelon juice; or melon, cucumber and lime juice.

SOLUTIONS: Are now back in the newspaper.
OUR VIEW UNEXPECTED RESULT LOCAL elections are not always a real test of public opinion on the popularity of the national government but the Partido Popular had a spectacular success in the Junta de Andalucia elections which took place on Sunday June 19. In 2018, Barcelona born Juanma Moreno became the first Partido Popular (PP) President of the Junta, even though his left-wing opponents the PSOE secured more seats, but Moreno was able to put together a coalition supported by Ciudadanos and smaller parties, allowing him to take power. In this latest election, there was always an expectation that the PP would secure the largest number of votes, but it was anticipated that Moreno would have to form another coalition possibly with Ciudadanos or right-wing Vox. In the event, he obtained a sufficient share of the votes to win an overwhelming majority which has allowed him to take absolute control of the Junta and whilst Vox made small gains and PSOE small losses, Adelante Andalucia lost 10 of its 12 seats and Ciudadanos was wiped out, losing all 21 of its seats, For an autonomous community that has been so staunchly in favour of the PSOE since the establishment of the Junta in 1978, such an enormous turnaround despite the problems of the PP at national level suggests that the next general election which must take place no later than December 10, 2023 could see some major changes. We should make it clear that this newspaper does not take a stance as far as Spanish politics are concerned, but believes it useful to readers to explain the current situation as well as alerting them to pointers to the future.

WHILE there are official campsites in Andalucia, there are also a number of other options for wild camping. Camping doesn’t just mean a standard family tent, makeshift construc‐ tions made out of sticks and plastic sheeting and one person bivouacs are also considered camp‐ ing. There is a subtle le‐ gal difference for cara‐ vans and campervans between parking and camping ‐ if the awning is erected or there is the pres‐ ence of equipment such as chairs or stoves then this is considered to be camping. National and natural parks in Spain do have refugios or mountain shelters, usually consisting of basic accommo‐ dation with limited cooking and washing facilities.

ber due to fire hazards. While it’s appealing to camp on the beach, and though many of the camp‐ sites are located along the coast, camping on the beach itself is not allowed. It is also not allowed in Spain to just
pitch up and wild camp and, in general, camp fires are also not allowed ‐ particularly in the summer months. Camping (not parking) on public roads is not legal and, although car parks on the seafront or in other locations
will have their own local coun‐ cil rules, camping is generally not permitted. Sleeping in a car on the roadside is legal if you are parked in an area where cars are allowed, such as a public car park. Howev‐ er, be sure to not set up any chairs or camping equipment outside of the vehicle. Camping on private land is tolerated in Spain, how‐ ever, Article 46.1 says that, even on private land, no more than three tents or car‐ avans and no more than 10 people can camp in the same place for more than three days. This national law also states it is prohibited to wild camp within 200 metres of the high tide mark of the beach, within a few kilome‐ tres of military installations, within a few kilometres of an official campsite, in protected areas like national parks, nat‐ ural parks and at national monuments.

Camping Essentials Laura Kemp YOUR basic camping kit! First of all, a tent! They come in lots of sizes, and a good rule of thumb is to aim for a tent that sleeps one or two people more than you need. Tent pegs ‐ you will get some with your tent, don’t forget to take them! Sleeping bags for everyone who is camping ‐ it gets pretty chilly at night, even in summer. A sleeping mat, air bed, or camp bed for each person ‐ air beds are cheap and comfortable so a good place to start. Pillows ‐ easy to forget, but make a huge differ‐ ence to a good night’s sleep. If camping by car take your ones from home. Camping stove, fuel and cutlery. Water carrier or jerry can ‐ so you don’t have to go to the site tap every time you need water! Camping chairs ‐ the best way to relax in the sun is on a comfy folding lounger or chair. Torch and bat‐ teries. Bin bags ‐ so you can keep the tent clean and tidy.

IN Spain, the pandem‐ ic has increased the quantity of mascots in our homes, and now one in four Spanish households have at least one furry friend. According to data from ANFAAC, there are currently a total of 8.2 million dogs and 6.4 million cats in Spain. Some studies suggest that dogs were domesticated as pets around 19,000 years ago in Europe, long before cats. Dog owners tend to opt for them as pets due to their loyalty and sweetness, whilst cat lovers admire the elegance and inde‐ pendence of their fe‐ line friend. The first record of a cat rub‐ bing itself against a h u m a n ’ s l e g s o c c u r‐ ring in China 5,000 years ago, when agri‐ culture provoked the accumulation of food… and rodents. Furthermore, ar‐ guably there is more of a symbiotic rela‐ tionship between dogs and humans, as
dogs understand parts of the human language, and have dreams. Whereas cats, although they al‐ so dream, are solitary animals and therefore are drastically more independent in com‐ parison. Thanks to a study by Budget Direct, we know that overall, throughout various countries, people pre‐ fer cats. Specifically, they are the most popular in 91 coun‐ tries, whilst dogs are the most popular in 76 countries. Howev‐ er, in Spain the dogs are the most popular pet. In fact, Spaniards have more animals than children. According to Budget Direct’s study, dogs are clearly the most popular in Spanish cities like Granada, Zaragoza and Villa‐ joyosa. However, those living in the big‐ ger, more cosmopoli‐ tan cities like Madrid and Barcelona tend to opt for cats over dogs.

It’s a car come crossover and works well, although to some the rear styling is unconvincing. ‘Pop‐out’ door handles are a stylish feature and the charging socket on the rear corner is much more convenient than those positioned on the wings. Kia are not newcomers to EV technology and this shows, the EV6 is a smooth and refined drive

with defi‐ nite sporting preten‐ sions. It looks and feels a quality machine and in basic form comes pretty well equipped with auto lights, LED lighting, auto wipers, auto dimming rear view mirror, heated front seats, heated steer‐ ing wheel, keyless entry and start, smart cruise control, navigation and much more. Priced from €48,557/ £41,695 there’s a choice of rear or all‐wheel‐
drive, three trim levels and a 77 kwh battery that offers a potential 328 mile range in rear drive or 314 miles in all‐wheel‐drive. Opt for slightly less range, but more grip, and the EV6 will get you to 62 mph in a whisker over five seconds, in rear drive that stretches to a still impressive 7.3 sec‐ onds. The only thing marring proceedings on the road are the overly
fussy bings, and bongs if you step outside the lane keep or other such pa‐ rameters. The EV6 can charge from 10‐80 per cent in just 18 minutes, unfortu‐ nately you’ll struggle to find a 350kw charger to achieve this undeniably impressive time. The much more common 50 kw chargers will do the same job in just under 1.5 hours, even more common 22kw or 7kw chargers between 7.5 and 9.5 hours. Therein
lies the EV problem, which must frustrate manufacturers, the UK’s charging infrastructure is poor unless you’re in London or the southern counties. A home charger is a must and makes com‐ muting and slightly longer journeys, where thanks to the EV6’s range you can get back home without the need to charge, much more vi‐ able. The EV6 is another ex‐ ample of Kia’s ability to hit the mark in terms of practicality, quality and distinctive styling that so often sets their cars apart from the main‐ stream.
