Members of the Asamblea Nacional Catalana (ANC), including individuals named Modest, Xavier, and Josep, distribute Catalan flags at a location near the Sagrada Família ahead of Pope Leo XIV's visit. They argue that since the Pope spoke four words in Catalan during previous events due to pressure, it is reasonable to push for him to speak Catalan during the inauguration of the Jesus Christ tower at the Sagrada Família, especially considering Antoni Gaudí's historical connection to Catalonia. A woman criticizes the group, stating they are there to pray, not to display flags. The article also all

Bad Bunny echa el cierre a la casita y convierte el perreo en revolución en su último concierto en España

The article discusses Bad Bunny's recent concert residency in Madrid, Spain, where he performed over 770,000 people across ten days. It highlights his 'casita' venue, which has become a central location for his performances and has drawn comparisons to a church due to its cultural significance.
