THE Malaga town of Torremolinos and particularly its football club were in mourning on Friday, April 7, after learning of the death of 17‐year‐old Diego Fumero. The teenager was a member of the Juven‐tud de Torremolinos’ Juvenil A team in the town.

His passing was announced through the Malaga club’s social media networks. Diego was a native of Tenerife in the Ca‐nary Islands and had been studying crimi‐nology in Malaga.

“Today is a very sad day for our club. Our Juvenil A player, Diego Fumero, has passed away, having recently joined the club after coming to study in Malaga from Tenerife. May he rest in peace,” read the post from the club’s President. The club announced that its players will wear black armbands in its next league match as a sign of respect for their late player.

Social media has been flooded with messages of condolences and support for Diego and his family. Margarita del Cid, the Mayoress of Torremolinos was one of the first to pay tribute to the young man.

She wrote: “My sincere condolences on behalf of the government team for such a painful loss for his family, friends and for our Torremolinos Youth. Rest in Peace.”

ADRIÁN BARBÓN, the President of the Principality of Asturias, reported on Monday, April 10, that five complaints will be filed about five individuals identified as allegedly responsible for some of the forest fires that have affected Asturias recently.

He was speaking after participating in the meeting of the advisory and management committee of the Emergency Civil Protection Plan for Forest Fires of the Principality of Asturias (Infopa). Barbón indicated that there is also another line of investigation that could affect at least another 10 suspects, although this is still in an early phase.

This latest wave of fires represents an “attack against Asturias” the President insisted, in which there is “clearly” an intention. These fires, he continued, “mark a before and after” in government policies, with aspects from which they should “humbly learn” such as improving the defence of towns.
