"Grotesque opportunism": this is how the Trump Administration has thwarted Corina Machado's return to Venezuela after the earthquakes
The article discusses the failed attempts by Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado to return to Venezuela after recent earthquakes, which have killed over 2,300 people. According to reports from The Wall Street Journal and Axios, U.S. authorities, under the Trump administration, blocked her travel plans, fearing her return could trigger political instability. Initially, a private jet was arranged to take her to Curazao, but it was diverted back to the U.S. after U.S. officials concluded she intended to return to Venezuela by boat, using the same route she had taken to flee the country in December. The Netherlands, responsible for foreign affairs in Curazao, initially believed the U.S. supported her trip, but revoked landing rights after Washington clarified its stance. Machado later attempted to return through Panama, but Copa Airlines refused to transport her due to fears of reprisals from Venezuelan authorities. In response, Machado accused the Venezuelan government of blocking her return and threatening those who assisted her, while the Trump administration criticized her efforts as politically opportunistic.
The 'B-side' of immigration in employment: Finland consolidates as the EU country with the highest unemployment ahead of Spain
The article reports that Finland has become the EU country with the highest unemployment rate, surpassing Spain, according to Eurostat data from May 2026. The unemployment rate reached 10.8% in Finland compared to 10.3% in Spain and the EU average of 5.9%. Unlike Spain, where immigration contributes positively to employment, in Finland, immigrants face significant barriers such as language difficulties, high productivity requirements, and limited low-skilled jobs. Experts like David Haugh from the OECD note that while these factors support a high-quality labor market, they hinder the initial integration of new workers, including immigrants, into the workforce. The article highlights structural challenges in Finland’s labor market, including weak external demand, reduced trade with Russia, and aging population trends. It concludes by noting that rapid increases in labor supply could temporarily raise unemployment due to longer time needed to match workers with available positions.
The Andalusian pact: Vox will have a vice presidency in the government of Juanma Moreno, which will be occupied by Manuel Gavira
Juanma Moreno has been elected president of the Andalusian regional government (Junta) with the support of his 53 PP deputies and 15 Vox members, marking the largest backing for any president in Andalusia's history. As part of a coalition agreement, Vox will hold a vice presidency under the new government, with its parliamentary spokesperson, Manuel Gavira, appointed as vice president overseeing the departments of Tourism, Deregulation, Justice, and Local Administration. The deal includes Vox securing a vice presidency in the regional parliament and one of the autonomous-designated senator positions. The agreement, signed by Moreno and Gavira, aims to ensure stability for the next four years and includes approval of four budgets and 150 measures across various sectors. Despite emphasizing differences between the PP and Vox, both parties prioritized common goals, with Moreno highlighting that this is a legislative agreement rather than just an investment pact. The negotiation was tense and time-sensitive, culminating after failed attempts at forming a government earlier in the week.
El barrio que dio cobijo a los gais y después los expulsó: “Hoy no tenemos que ir a Chueca. Ya estamos por todas partes”
The closure of 'El Gris,' a historic LGBTQ+ bar in Madrid's Chueca neighborhood, marks the end of an era for the area once known as a sanctuary for the LGBTQ+ community. The bar, which opened in 1984, was one of the last remaining venues in Chueca that maintained its original spirit and ownership. Its owner explained that the closure was due to complaints from the owners of a tourist apartment above the bar, forcing them to make changes like lowering music volume and altering the layout. Many locals view this as the symbolic end of Chueca’s identity as a safe space for LGBTQ+ individuals, who historically found refuge there during the 1980s and 1990s. The neighborhood transformed from a neglected area into a vibrant hub for the LGBTQ+ community, becoming comparable to other European queer districts like London's Soho and Paris' Le Marais. However, recent changes have led some residents to feel that the community is now more dispersed.
Solo las paradas de Diogo Costa frenan a una Colombia desatada ante la decepcionante Portugal
In a heated match under the intense heat of Miami, Portugal managed to hold Colombia to a draw in their World Cup group stage encounter, thanks largely to the outstanding performance of Diogo Costa, the goalkeeper from Porto. Colombia had initially dominated the game with numerous scoring chances but was ultimately held back by Costa's saves. This result prevented Portugal from securing first place in Group K. Despite this setback, Colombia advanced to the Round of 16 where they will face Croatia led by Luka Modric. The Colombian team arrived in Florida as strong contenders for the World Cup title but had already faced challenges earlier in the tournament, including a draw against the Democratic Republic of Congo. Their performance against Portugal raised concerns about their overall energy and motivation. Colombia will next face Ghana in the knockout stages before potentially facing Spain, the European champions.
Three Palestinians killed in an Israeli attack in Gaza, including a child
In an Israeli air strike in central Gaza, three Palestinians were killed, including a child, according to the Gaza health ministry, despite an official ceasefire that has been in effect since October. The Israeli military confirmed the attack but did not provide further details. The strike occurred around 9:30 local time in the city of Deir al-Balahu, which is under Hamas control. Since Saturday, the Israeli army has killed twelve Palestinians, including eight men and four children, according to the Palestinian health ministry. One teenager was killed during an attack in the occupied West Bank city of Al-Bireh, where Israeli soldiers responded with fire to someone suspected of throwing stones. The Israeli military announced on Sunday that they had eliminated a member of the Islamic Jihad, another militant group in Gaza, who allegedly kidnapped Israeli civilians during the November 7, 2023 attack. Israel has conducted multiple attacks on Gaza since the ceasefire agreement with Hamas mediated by the U.S. in October last year, claiming to target militants threatening Israeli soldiers in Gaza or those involved in the 2023 attack. Hamas accused Israel of violating the ceasefire, while U

The prosecutor concludes that Kitchen had "a bastard purpose": "boycott" the case of the B box and "protect" leaders of the PP
The Spanish anti-corruption prosecutor, César de Rivas, has concluded that the 'Kitchen' investigation involved a 'bastard purpose' aimed at 'boycotting' the case against the Popular Party (PP)'s 'box B' and 'protecting' its leaders. The prosecution alleges that police commanders conducted surveillance on the Bárcenas family and stole documents to obstruct the investigation. De Rivas claims that former Interior Minister Jorge Fernández Díaz directed the operation, based on messages sent to his deputy Francisco Martínez, who formalized the plan before a notary. The same phone number used by Martinez was linked to the Ministry of Interior in 2013 and later to the ex-minister in 2019. The prosecutor dismissed the defense argument that Kitchen was an intelligence operation, noting that funds hidden by Bárcenas had already surfaced in Switzerland and that the surveillance and device theft did not align with such an operation. De Rivas emphasized the lack of communication between the accused and judicial authorities like the UDEF, which hindered their ability to contribute to solving the case. He also highlighted the testimony of Inspector Gonzalo Fraga, who supported the authenticity of
From the Pope to the Tour, Barcelona exhibits its brand despite proclaiming that it does not want more tourists
The article discusses Barcelona's simultaneous hosting of two major global events—the coronation of Pope Francis at the Sagrada Família and the start of the Tour de France—while the city claims it cannot handle more tourists. These events have raised questions about whether promoting Barcelona as a tourist destination makes sense, especially during a summer expected to be heavily populated by visitors. The mayor, Jaume Collboni, argues that Barcelona does not need promotion but rather needs to recover its reputation, viewing these events as boosts to confidence rather than marketing campaigns. However, hosting such events costs money and attracts attention, with the Tour alone bringing in an estimated €9.6 million for the municipality and drawing up to 850,000 spectators. While some see these events as opportunities to reshape Barcelona’s brand toward cultural and sports tourism, others express concerns about their impact on residents. The article highlights ongoing debates over the role of international events in shaping the city’s identity and economic strategy.
Venezuela desperately searches for 50,000 missing after earthquakes
The article reports on the aftermath of two earthquakes that struck a Caribbean coastal city in Venezuela, resulting in the collapse of a high-rise residential building constructed by the government. The building was where the girlfriend of Alberto Sánchez lived, and he spent several days searching through the rubble without finding anyone. Over 50,000 people remain missing according to an online platform tracking lost loved ones, with the most severe damage occurring in La Guaira state near Caracas. The Venezuelan government reported 1,719 deaths and over 5,034 injuries, with estimates suggesting the death toll could reach thousands. Residents criticized the government's inadequate and disorganized response, including restrictions on volunteer workers' access to disaster zones and bureaucratic delays affecting emergency services. A resident named Janett Noriega expressed frustration over the lack of rescue efforts and heavy machinery until the weekend, while the government did not respond to requests for comment. The article also mentions concerns about construction negligence in government-built housing projects.
