POLITICAL EARTHQUAKE IN SPAIN What Pedro Sánchez feared most, and what sparked the Sewer Scandal, has finally happened. The Provincial Court of Madrid has just rejected the appeal filed by Begoña Gómez and the Public Prosecutor's Office to dismiss the Madrid Court of Instruction No. 41 proceedings against her.Therefore, Begoña Gómez's personal summons to appear before Judge Peinado on June 15th remains in place, where she is expected to face personal precautionary measures.The private prosecutors will request the immediate confiscation of her passport due to the risk of flight. The judge has already expressly warned her in his ruling that this time she will be brought in by the police if she fails to appear. I will be there as the lawyer for the private prosecutor, the Movement for Political Regeneration of Spain, to ensure she doesn't make a fool of all Spaniards again. Please retweet so the whole world knows that the Provincial Court of Madrid itself has endorsed the proceedings against the wife of the President of Spain to be tried by a jury on four counts of corruption. This is outrageous and would make any president of any democratic country in the world resign. Get to work!

SCANDAL IN PARLIAMENT, BRUTAL BOOSTING, AND MAXIMUM TENSION LIVE! Pope Leo XIV unleashes chaos in the Congress of Deputies as an enraged crowd surrounds Pedro Sánchez: "The most tense and uncomfortable welcome in history?" "A veritable acoustic inferno has erupted in the heart of Madrid! What should have been a solemn and peaceful historic day with the long-awaited arrival of Pope Leo XIV at the temple of Spanish sovereignty has transformed into an uncontrollable powder keg. A tide of outraged citizens greeted the Prime Minister with a deafening chorus of boos, shouting 'corrupt!'" And 'Resign!' echoed loudly off the walls of the palace on Carrera de San Jerónimo. Between the boycott by the radical left, the applause from the opposition, and an atmosphere of extreme tension, the mood was palpable at a meeting that has already completely derailed the national political agenda..."

OPEN LETTER TO SPANISH GOVERNMENT.
LOOK, LET ME MAKE THIS CRYSTAL CLEAR
I couldn't care less about what happens in Timbuktu, Cochabamba, or Gaza.
I care a lot about what happens in Las Hurdes or Soria. And yes, I'm willing to show solidarity and make an effort for Las Hurdes or Soria.
My money is best left in my pocket. I don't want you, politician, to dedicate yourself to "redistributing" wealth through exorbitant taxes and housing of illegal immigrants. Because I don't trust your redistribution one bit.
My taxes are better used for decent roads (which we don't have), decent healthcare (which we don't have), decent justice (which we don't have), and a properly equipped police and civil guard (which they aren't).
My money is better used for a whole lot more things that affect my daily life. Things that affect me and the rest of the honest citizens (nationals or legal immigrants) who work, get up early, struggle, and suffer to pay those taxes.
But not to give Moroccan children "a decent life." Children should be with their parents, who are best off with them, and if anything, I would suggest that this help come from their king, who is a multi-millionaire.
Mohammed VI's fortune is valued at five billion euros.
That's enough for a few "improvements," isn't it?

It doesn't seem fair to me that those who have more children have far more rights and assistance than I do, who only have one. That's their personal and non-transferable decision. Nobody forced them to have many children, and therefore, they must face the consequences of their decision. Whether they are Muslim families or members of Opus Dei.
No. Don't force me to be charitable to anyone. I don't want to.
I will be charitable to whomever I want. Or I won't show solidarity. It's my choice, and I don't want you, politician, to force it.
And as I always say: Africans aren't bad, unaccompanied minors aren't criminals, and large Muslim families aren't opportunists. That's not the point. No. Generalizing is unfair, and as the bullfighter Rafael "El Gallo" used to say: "There's all sorts of people in the world." Simply put, without hypocrisy, I don't feel like showing solidarity with them. That's all.
And the more money you try to force me to be "in solidarity" with these groups, the more I'll view them. And I think that sentiment is shared by many citizens.Because, moreover, your solidarity, politician, is false and contrived. It doesn't stem from good intentions. Your solidarity is driven by underhanded and electoral motives. Your solidarity is very shady.
You, politician, care little or nothing about the children of Africa. You, politician, all you do is exploit the suffering of children from all over the world for your own gain.
And that, champ, is pretty disgusting.
The photo illustrating the post is of a woman complaining that Cáritas only gave them macaroni. What the signs the other women are holding say, in Catalan, is "we want school lunch scholarships." Please avoid racist comments.
Spaniards are not racist people. Spaniards, for the most part, are sensible people.
Religions and nationalities are not inherently bad. Only human beings are.
Nor are all people who receive help ungrateful, not at all.
Thank you.

69 YEAR OLD GRANNY ATTACKED BY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT IN HOSPITAL A 69-year-old patient with terminal cancer was sexually assaulted by a 25-year-old Moroccan immigrant who gained access to the hospital complex in the early hours of May 14th. The case caused a great deal of shock among the staff and the National Police's Family and Women's Assistance Unit (UFAM), due to the victim's extremely vulnerable state, as she was receiving palliative care.
According to the investigation, the assailant forced his way into the woman's room through several entrances, where he allegedly threatened to kill her during the attack. The patient managed to press the emergency button while the man held her by the neck and warned her that he would "cut her throat" if she called for help. When the alarm was triggered, the suspect escaped by breaking down another door, but was located and arrested by the police days later.

RISING CRIME RATES POLICE DEMAND MORE POLICE TO COMBAT CRIME
Jupol Demands More Police Officers in Response to 4.5% Increase in Crime in Alicante. The union warns of a rise in crimes such as sexual assault and battery, and demands that the Ministry of the Interior provide more personnel, resources, and "decent" police stations in the province. The Jupol union has expressed its concern about the increase in crime in the province of Alicante during the first quarter of 2026 and has called on the Ministry of the Interior to urgently reinforce the National Police force, provide more material and technological resources, and modernize several police facilities.
According to crime statistics from the Ministry of the Interior analyzed by the union, Alicante registered a total of 25,735 criminal offenses between January and March of this year, compared to 24,631 recorded in the same period of 2025. This represents a 4.5% increase in crime in the province.
Jupol considers the rise in certain crimes that generate significant public alarm to be particularly worrying. Among the most notable increases are sexual assaults involving pe*******on, which have risen by 34%, as well as crimes of assault and affray, which have increased by 12%. The union also points to a rise in threats and coercion, up 15.7%, and thefts, which have increased by 7.1% and continue to be a major concern in tourist and commercial areas.
The union maintains that these figures are the result of “years of poor planning” in public safety and an insufficient number of police officers. Jupol states that the officers stationed in the province are making “an extraordinary effort” to maintain public safety, but warns that they are doing so with limited staff, resources, and a growing workload.
Greatest increase in Petrer and Benidorm
The union focuses on the evolution of crime in certain municipalities in Alicante. Specifically, the report highlights the cases of Petrer, where crime has increased by 45.9%, and Benidorm, with a 21.6% increase, according to the Interior Ministry's report.
For Jupol, these figures demonstrate the need for specific planning for areas with the highest crime rates, especially those affected by population growth, tourism, or increasingly complex criminal phenomena. The organization specifically cites municipalities such as Alicante, Benidorm, Dénia, Elda, and Petrer, and calls for a National Police force that is “adequately sized” to meet the province's actual needs.
In addition to the lack of personnel, Jupol denounces the deterioration of various police stations. The union points particularly to the police stations in Benidorm and Dénia, whose facilities, it asserts, have suffered from years of deficiencies and have become obsolete for current operational needs.
The organization believes that the state of these infrastructures affects both the working conditions of the officers and the service that citizens receive. Therefore, it demands a decisive investment in modernizing police stations and improving the resources available to National Police officers. Job Updates
Jupol also insists on the need to update the National Police's job catalog, arguing that it does not reflect the actual needs of the workforce. The union calls for the immediate filling of vacancies and the creation of new positions adapted to the current situation in the province. It also demands more material and technological resources to combat both conventional crime and cybercrime, as well as the reinforcement of units such as Public Safety, the Criminal Investigation Unit, and Immigration. According to Jupol, the province of Alicante experiences high levels of tourist and migratory pressure for much of the year, which requires a reinforced police response.

TORREVIEJA NEW DOG POUND The contractor's demands delay the completion of Torrevieja's new animal shelter until December
The governing board approves the third extension of the deadline for Urdecón, which began work in November 2023. This extension will be followed by a second budget increase, which already exceeds €1.4 million. The Torrevieja City Council's local governing board approved a further extension to the construction deadline for the municipal animal shelter, awarded to Construcciones Urdecon, last Friday. The resolution authorizes the third contract modification and grants another six months to complete a project that has already accumulated several incidents and delays since its inception. The contract was awarded in August 2023, work began with the site handover report on November 13 of that year, and was subsequently suspended in April 2024 until the project was adapted to the requirements of the Animal Welfare Law. The project, following the restart agreement signed on April 8, 2025, was originally scheduled for completion on January 28, 2026. A subsequent amendment extended the deadline to June 8, 2026. With the resolution now approved, the City Council has granted an additional six months and set a new projected completion date of December 8, 2026, although the technical report indicates it could be finished earlier if construction proceeds without further issues. The work has allowed for the relocation of dogs and cats to new, much better-equipped cages than the previous ones. However, no progress has been made on the reception and veterinary facilities. In addition to this third extension, the Councilor for Animal Protection, Co**ha Sala, confirmed to INFORMACIÓN that a budget amendment—the second—is also being processed. This amendment will address, among other things, increased material costs and some adaptations to improve accessibility to the facility, as requested this past weekend on social media by PSOE spokesperson Bárbara Soler and Sumar Torrevieja representative Nacho Torres Marí. This second budget modification will be added to the previously approved one, which increased the contract cost by €130,638 (including VAT), raising it from €1,281,692 to €1,412,330, a 10.19% increase over the initial contract. The report justifies the delays, validated by the acting head of the Services department—and coordinated by the company with its demand for price increases—by citing the need to coordinate the construction work with the operation of the shelter and the presence of animals on the premises. Among the reasons given are the construction of fencing to separate phases of the work, the reorganization and relocation of facilities within the site, the internal movement of animals, a new wastewater connection—not included in the project paid for by the City Council—and the involvement of a veterinarian to ensure animal care and welfare. The increased costs are also explained within this context: the document attributes them to the reorganization of the construction work “as a result of the placement of cages and animals” at each stage of the project.
Chickens again
The resolution also details a specific problem with feral chickens living in the municipality's parks—chickens again—which were temporarily housed at the shelter due to the avian flu outbreak. According to the technical report, areas of the construction site were adapted to accommodate them while the epidemiological situation improved and restrictions on bird movement were lifted. The document specifies that 44 birds were captured and housed on December 4th, and another 43 were admitted on January 29th. The report justifying the expansion is particularly detailed in describing the chicken problem. The temporary housing of hens, roosters, and chicks, it notes, also ended up affecting the progress of the construction work. The birds were in an area adjacent to the construction site and, at the beginning of April, began to show problems mainly related to stress: skittish behavior, feather pecking, feather problems, and a decrease in egg production. The report suggests that the construction work may have been a contributing factor to the birds' stress, so environmental enrichment measures were expanded and work near the area where the birds are kept was halted. According to the report, these measures reduced symptoms of social and self-induced feather plucking and improved behavior, plumage, and egg-laying. However, the report cautions that any change in their environment could disrupt the balance achieved and delay their recovery and eventual relocation.

FEMALE BITCH FIGHT IN THE STREET A young woman arrested in La Vila Joiosa for stabbing another woman has been released: "I'm going to cut your head off."
The victim received five stitches in her forearm after being attacked without provocation at the door of her home in the old town. A 46-year-old woman was stabbed on Monday in La Vila Joiosa by a 28-year-old woman who made threats such as "I'm going to burn you alive" and "I'm going to kill you because I've been planning this. This is nothing compared to what I'm going to do to you, I'm going to cut your head off," according to information gathered by the Civil Guard from the victim and witnesses.
The victim knew the attacker because she had been in a relationship with her nephew, but she does not know the real motive for the attack. The young woman was arrested by the La Vila Joiosa Local Police and brought before the Civil Guard, who conducted the investigation and brought her before the duty judge this Wednesday as the alleged perpetrator of attempted homicide and assault. The young woman, assisted by lawyer Aitor Esteban Gallastegui, was released on bail with a restraining order against the victim.
The attack occurred shortly after 8:30 p.m. last Monday on Costereta Street in La Vila, in the town's old quarter, and the entire incident was captured by the municipal surveillance cameras. The victim told the Civil Guard that she had just arrived home after shopping and heard voices telling her to come outside.
At that moment, she didn't know the young woman's intentions, so she went outside to see what she wanted. However, as soon as she stepped outside, without saying a word, the young woman pulled out a knife she had concealed in her chest and approached the woman to attack her.
The victim ran away, but was caught by the assailant. After receiving two light blows to her right arm, the woman shielded her face and was stabbed in the left forearm. While attacking her, the assailant made the aforementioned death threats. Neighbors came to the victim's aid and managed to restrain the assailant and take the knife from her.
The Civil Guard has analyzed the footage recorded by the La Vila Joiosa Town Hall's security cameras, which shows the entire sequence of the attack. In addition to the injured woman, the recording shows the assailant attempting to attack a second woman and being subdued by neighbors who managed to disarm her.
An ambulance from the SAMU (Emergency Medical Service) arrived at the scene and, after providing initial treatment to the victim, transported her to a health center, where her laceration was treated and she received five stitches. Meanwhile, the La Vila Local Police received several calls alerting them to a fight between women involving a knife. After going to Costereta Street, they arrested the young woman responsible. A witness who detained the woman explained to the officers that he took the knife from her because she intended to kill the victim, and he even feared that he himself might be injured in the struggle to restrain her and take the weapon away.

PROTECTION RACKET EXTORTION IN TORREVIEJA
Prison for a 21-Year-Old for Extorting and Assaulting Shopkeepers in Torrevieja
The Civil Guard has dealt a decisive blow against local crime in Torrevieja following the arrest of a 21-year-old man who had been terrorizing part of the area's commercial sector. The detainee is charged with extortion, robbery with violence and intimidation, and vehicle theft. His modus operandi consisted of subjugating bar owners and shop assistants by demanding regular payments under a false promise of "protection," using threats in which he claimed to have connections with mafias and criminal networks from Eastern Europe.
The relevant court of instruction has already ordered his immediate remand in provisional prison, although the authorities are keeping all lines of investigation open due to the possibility of accomplices or further victims.
Community Trust to Break the Silence
The main challenge faced by the agents was the profound fear of the victims. The dread of suffering physical retaliation or material damage to their premises caused an initial silence that hindered progress on the case. To reverse this situation, the Civil Guard activated a special deployment by reinforcing foot patrols and holding direct meetings with the municipality's business owners. This key approach restored confidence to those affected, who finally decided to come forward and file formal complaints.
Throughout the investigation, several particularly serious criminal episodes committed by the arrested individual were clearly documented:
Business Assaults: In early April, the individual entered a shop where he coerced the employee, taking merchandise and completely emptying the cash register after warning her of the consequences if she alerted the police.
Vehicle Blackmail: In the middle of the same month, he stole a car by intimidating its rightful owner and subsequently contacted him to demand a financial ransom to get the vehicle back.
The police operation remains active in the Vega Baja area, and further arrests linked to these events have not been ruled out.

RECAP, Scamchez’s wife Bergonia, has to turn up in court on the 15th of June to face all the corruption charges against her. Pedros turn very soon.

In addition to the lack of personnel, Jupol denounces the deterioration of various police stations. All the police stations are on the verge of collapse yet Scamchez has let well over 500,000 more illegals in and by the end of June all will need finger print appointments. The polce around here have written to Madrid asking for more staff, More overtime, and are willing to open Saturday mornings to reliev the pressure but how will Madrid respond? So Torrevieja Dog pound is open, and like the police stretched to the limit, still not big enough yet they managed to jail all of Torrevieja free range chickens.

SPANISH NEWS EMERGENCY STATEMENT 8TH JUNE 2026

TIE APPOINTMENT RENEWALS ARE READY TO COLLAPSE ENTIRELY
The Torrevieja Immigration Office is "abandoned and overwhelmed," according to the Jupol police union.
Jupol points out that the government has decided to reduce management responsibilities and asserts that the facilities, which also process national identity cards (DNI) and passports, have only six staff members in a city of 110,000 inhabitants. The Jupol police union has formally requested an "urgent" meeting with the Deputy Government Delegate in Alicante, Manuel Pineda, to address what it considers the "critical situation" currently facing the Torrevieja Documentation Unit, a facility that is "absolutely overwhelmed and insufficient" to handle the city's population and immigration needs.
Jupol, the largest union in the National Police, denounces the fact that the Torrevieja Documentation Unit continues to operate with resources and structures from over a decade ago—this office opened in 2014 after years in a smaller location in Plaza del Molino—despite the city's exponential population growth and one of the highest demographic and tourist pressures in the entire province of Alicante. Currently, Torrevieja has over 110,000 registered residents, with a real population of nearly 220,000 permanent residents and more than 500,000 during the summer months, and is home to citizens of over 120 different nationalities. However, the unit only has a roster of six officers, according to the police union, a number "absolutely insufficient" to handle the enormous daily workload.
Jupol denounces the current facilities for their serious structural and safety deficiencies. The office has a surface area of barely 240 square meters, a complete lack of a waiting room, and an extremely small entrance hall. This forces citizens to routinely wait in the street, sometimes even requiring street closures with fencing to organize queues, and creates a lack of privacy for administrative procedures. The union considers it “unacceptable” that thousands of citizens have to wait for hours in the street to carry out basic procedures, projecting an image of “institutional neglect and absolute precariousness.” Although the statement does not mention it, this section of Arquitecto Larramendi Street must be closed to traffic daily while services are being provided.
Furthermore, they warn that the structural limitations make it impossible to increase the current staff, despite this being an urgent and obvious need. The same source strongly criticizes “the withdrawal of immigration-related powers suffered by Torrevieja following the latest modification of the National Police Directorate's job catalog.” The union considers it “incomprehensible” that a city where more than 52% of the registered population is foreign-born has lost precisely these powers, now forcing thousands of citizens to travel to other towns like Elche or Orihuela to carry out essential procedures. This decision, far from solving the problem, is causing the saturation of other police stations and increasing the administrative and operational backlog.
Safety and Occupational Health Risks
The union also warns of serious security deficiencies at the facility, which was ceded by the Torrevieja City Council. It lacks even basic access control systems such as metal detectors or security scanners, despite the Level 4 Anti-Terrorist Alert remaining in effect. The daily accumulation of people outside, coupled with the shortage of police personnel, also creates a situation of clear vulnerability for both officers and citizens. The union believes that the current conditions violate basic principles of occupational health and safety and expose police officers and the public to potentially dangerous situations every day.
Given this situation, Jupol demands an urgent evaluation of the operational, structural, and occupational risk prevention situation of the Torrevieja Documentation Unit; the urgent creation of new facilities suited to the city's population and migration reality; and the immediate expansion of the job catalog. They also request the restoration of powers in immigration matters and an urgent meeting with the Deputy Government Delegate in Alicante to find immediate solutions. Jupol warns that the current situation “cannot continue for even one more day” and reiterates that “an essential public service cannot continue to be provided in Third World conditions while population and migration pressure continues to grow year after year.”
RECAP This is a disaster for all, those who need TIE’s renewing, those who organize TIE’s and the police stations the system is at breaking point, So you have to be patient with those helping you. If theres no appointments then theres NO appointments. How can this get worse, SCAMCHEZ has promised 500,000 more TIE cards to all the illegals. This comes into paly this July. So we need to fight for TIE appointments. All the Ukrainians TIE cards Have just ran out. They are required renewal TIE appointment the same ones the Brits need.
What I know so far, is the Police have written to Madrid to ask for overtime so they can open in the afternoons as weel. They have asked for more staff as well. There is no answer from Madrid at the moment.
The post in the Informacion newspaper is about Torrevieja police station. But I promise you ALL police stations are at breaking point and who nows what will happen in July.

SPANISH NEWS 5TH JUNE 2026. Is it summer yet or just global warming ? Lol

Crime rises by 4.5% in the province of Alicante, with a 34% increase in sexual assaults and a 100% increase in murders.
Criminal offenses increased in the Valencian Community during the first quarter, while burglaries decreased in the Alicante region. The Ministry of the Interior's crime statistics reflect a 4.7% increase in criminal offenses in the Valencian Community during the first quarter of the year, with the number of crimes rising from 66,607 to 69,753. Homicides and murders saw a particularly sharp increase, rising by 33.3% from nine to 12; sexual assaults increased by 22.8% (from 101 to 124); and kidnappings rose by 66.7% (from three to five).
By province, crime rose 4.5% in Alicante—from 24,631 to 25,735—and 0.4% in Castellón, from 6,649 to 6,674. In Alicante, the increase was 5.7%, from 35,327 to 37,344.
In the province of Alicante, murders and homicides increased by 100%, from two to four, and kidnappings rose by 200%, from one to three. Conversely, burglaries decreased by 20.6% in the province, while sexual assaults involving pe*******on increased by 34%.
According to the data, conventional crime in the Valencian Community hasincreased by 5.8% (from 53,786 to 56,886), while cybercrime has risen by 0.4% (from 12,821 to 12,867). Within this latter category, online fraud has increased by 3.9% (from 11,157 to 11,588), and other types of cybercrimes have decreased by 23.1% (from 1,664 to 1,279).
Among conventional crime, the most significant decreases have been in homicides and attempted murders, which have fallen by 25.6%, with ten fewer cases, to 29; thefts have decreased by 8.6% (from 826 to 755); Burglaries decreased by 4% (from 3,201 to 3,074) and by 1.1% (from 3,950 to 3,906).

National increase in homicides
Across the country, crime rose by 1% during this period, with a sharp increase in homicides and murders (+10.6%) and in serious and less serious assault and affray (+11.1%), while sexual assaults involving pe*******on also increased (+3.8%).
The total number of criminal offenses recorded between January and March 2026 reached 595,240, a 1.0% increase compared to 2025, according to the report obtained by Europa Press.
Of this total, 472,512 offenses (79.4% of the total) fall under the category of conventional crime (considering here all forms of crime not committed in cyberspace, representing a 1.0% increase over 2025). Cybercrime (122,728 offenses, 20.6% of the total) shows a 1.2% increase over 2025.
With these figures, the conventional crime rate in Spain stands at 40.5 offenses per thousand inhabitants, leading the Ministry of the Interior to emphasize that it is "at the lowest level in the historical record." The cybercrime rate stands at 10.0 offenses per thousand inhabitants.

Sexual Offenses
Crimes against sexual freedom are projected to increase by 1.1% compared to 2025, according to the Ministry of the Interior, "a lower percentage than the year-on-year increase observed in previous years (2.2% in 2025 compared to 2024)." Crimes against sexual freedom involving pe*******on (r**e) also increased by 3.8%, with 1,290 cases reported. The Ministry attributes this to less underreporting due to greater confidence in law enforcement investigations.
The report, which includes data from the National Police, Civil Guard, regional police forces, and local police, indicates that property crimes—robberies, thefts, and vehicle thefts—decreased by 2.9% overall in the first three months of 2026.
Drug trafficking offenses, meanwhile, increased by 2.8%, from 5,276 incidents recorded in the first three months of 2025 to 5,424 in the same period of 2026. Th e Ministry of the Interior attributes this increase to the actions of the Security Forces and Corps within the framework of specific plans such as the Special Security Plan for the Campo de Gibraltar.
Also noteworthy are the 28 kidnappings in the first quarter (+16.7%), as well as the decrease in intentional homicides and attempted murders (-7.2%). Conversely, the 94 completed homicides and murders represent a rise of 10.6%.

FAKE FERRARI Police arrest man in Spain's Alicante province for trying to sell fake Ferrari. The suspect created a fiberglass body over another vehicle's chassis to build an exact replica of the iconic Ferrari 360 Spider modeThe Spanish National Police have arrested a man in Elche, (Alicante province), for an alleged crime against industrial property. The suspect is accused of heavily modifying a standard car chassis to construct a near-exact replica of a Ferrari 360 Spider.
Detectives first flagged the fraudulent operation after spotting an online car advertisement listing the luxury vehicle for a price "much lower" than the market value of an authentic model.
The cybercrime unit of the Murcia police headquarters led the investigation after detecting the potential infringement of trademark rights. A targeted operation in the El Altet district of Elche successfully intercepted the suspect whilst he was driving what officers described as "an excellent replica of the original model".
A thorough inspection of the vehicle and its accompanying documentation allowed investigators to verify that a steel monocoque chassis from an entirely different car manufacturer had been used. The suspect had then used fiberglass and other low-cost materials to mould a body shell replicating the appearance of a Ferrari.
To achieve the deception, the suspect had meticulously copied the specific designs, body lines, logos, and distinct typography of the emblematic Italian brand.
The counterfeit sports car featured the iconic black prancing horse standing on its hind legs, the yellow background crest paying homage to the city of Modena, the Italian flag, and the famous 'SF' initials for Scuderia Ferrari. The vehicle had also allegedly been granted official roadworthiness approval after being modified to meet legal size and weight regulations. The National Police have seized the counterfeit vehicle and taken the individual into custody.

TORREVIEJA TO ORIHUELA COSTA CAR CHASE .ROAD RAGE WITH KNIFE Man Arrested in Orihuela Costa After Violent Traffic Argument in Torrevieja. The incident began in the neighboring municipality of Torrevieja, where a heated traffic argument escalated into a physical assault in which a driver suffered serious injuries . Following the altercation, the alleged assailant fled in a van towards Orihuela. Thanks to the immediate call to 112, several patrols from the Orihuela Local Police quickly deployed a search and tracking operation in the border areas. The officers' quick thinking allowed them to locate the hidden vehicle and intercept and arrest the suspect in La Florida. The detainee has already been brought before a judge thanks to the excellent coordination between the different law enforcement agencies. ROAD TIP: Keep a cool head behind the wheel. No traffic argument is worth losing control or resorting to violence. Stay calm and arrive safely at your destination!

LOOKY LOOKY MEN ROUNDED UP AND FAKE GOODS CONFISCATED
A spectacular joint operation by the Local Police and the Civil Guard's Citizen Security Unit (USECIC) took place on Torrevieja's seafront promenades to combat the illegal sale of counterfeit goods. More than 30 officers patrolled the central area of the seafront after one of the vendors was arrested on Tuesday for throwing a bag of merchandise at a local officer after being asked to leave the Avenida de los Marineros promenade on Playa del Cura. The Torrevieja Local Police and the Citizen Security Unit (USECIC) of the Civil Guard Command in Alicante carried out a joint operation yesterday around 8:00 p.m. on the Torrevieja seafront to combat the illegal sale of allegedly counterfeit products. This operation is part of the reinforcement efforts undertaken by the city's Local Police since last April to curb this practice in the city's main pedestrian area. Wednesday's deployment, comprised of approximately 30 officers from the Civil Guard and local police, supported by patrol cars and motorcycles, aims to maintain constant surveillance during both the summer and off-seasons with a dual objective. Firstly, to prevent individuals of sub-Saharan origin engaged in this type of commerce from occupying the Torrevieja promenades with their stalls, thus avoiding the inconvenience this causes to tourists and residents. On the other hand, there is the damage they cause to small businesses in Torrevieja, especially those located on the Juan Aparicio promenade and Avenida de los Marineros on Cura beach. These businesses sell sportswear and accessories, similar to those offered to tourists by vendors on the promenade, but legal and compliant with tax regulations. Preventing Incidents Furthermore, these joint operations between the Local Police and the Civil Guard aim to prevent incidents like the one that occurred on June 2nd at around 8:30 p.m., when a Senegalese vendor, who, according to INFORMACIÓN, has only been living in Torrevieja for five months, was approached on Avenida de los Marineros by a Local Police officer on a motorcycle and asked to leave the promenade where he was illegally selling allegedly counterfeit goods. This individual ignored the officer's order and confronted him, throwing the bundle of clothes and shoes he was carrying, hitting him on the shoulder and nearly knocking him off his motorcycle. The young man was arrested for allegedly assaulting a law enforcement officer and for allegedly committing a crime against intellectual and industrial property. This incident follows one that occurred a few weeks ago in which a vendor slashed all four tires of a patrol car, forcing an officer to draw his weapon to arrest him. Additionally, the chief superintendent has received threats while walking with his family in public. During Wednesday's operation, carried out in the late afternoon, a time when street vending intensifies, officers identified a group of people of African origin who had already sold their merchandise before the arrival of the police. There were some tense moments between some vendors and members of the local police, but the situation did not escalate. Among the members of the group that was being identified, a discussion took place in which the more moderate ones reproached others for their more belligerent attitude towards the agents.

NEW TRAFFIC LIGHTS CAUSE TRAFFIC JAMS. Traffic jams mark the rollout of smart traffic lights at the Punta Prima roundabout in Torrevieja. Confusion and chaos reign in the first few days since the implementation of a pioneering traffic control system at one of the busiest roundabouts. The Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility has completed the installation of a pioneering traffic light system based on artificial intelligence at the Punta Prima roundabout, located at kilometer 52.8 of the N-332 highway, on the stretch between Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa. The project is, in fact, an experiment, as it is the first roundabout in Spain to have this type of technology. The project, financed by European funds from the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, ultimately cost €357,534, a figure slightly lower than the initially projected €409,000. The works have included the installation of traffic light poles at the access points—on both sides of the national highway and at its intersection with Las Olas and Escorpiones avenues—the placement of detection cameras and traffic data collection devices at each access point, and the implementation of an artificial intelligence-based control system capable of automatically regulating traffic light cycles according to actual traffic volume. According to the Ministry, this intervention aimed not only to improve traffic flow at the roundabout but also to lay the groundwork for incorporating intelligent systems into the road management of the State Highway Network and to place the user at the center of decision-making. In theory... because in practice, at least in these first few days of operation, there is chaos and confusion, partly due to the unfamiliarity of drivers who encounter traffic lights at a roundabout, generating major traffic jams—during rush hour—in all directions, especially on Las Olas Avenue and Escorpiones Street. On the ground, the result is that some drivers ignore the traffic lights, acting as if they don't exist and running red lights out of desperation. The system prioritizes traffic for vehicles on the national highway, which often accumulates hundreds of meters of congestion, especially in the direction of Torrevieja. Therefore, those arriving at the roundabout from the two access roads, Los Altos and Rocío del Mar, sometimes find that when the lights are amber they don't actually have the right of way, and when they are red they could actually proceed. So, some, after waiting in line, decide to run the red light to take advantage of the "gap." Thus, many drivers are wondering if these traffic lights are truly intelligent, if it was necessary to invest in this "experiment," or if "traditional" lights would have sufficed, and if there wasn't another solution to manage traffic at one of the busiest roundabouts, which handles an average of 45,000 vehicles daily. The other big question is what will happen at this point, which is usually congested year-round, when the season is in full swing with the arrival of more tourists and the transient population occupying second homes and tourist apartments. This is the only way out for all the residents of Rocío del Mar and Señorío de Punta Prima, where numerous buildings are being constructed in recent years—and still are. We'll have to wait and see if these new elements actually work in complex road infrastructures like roundabouts, and allow the AI to train, since the system itself learns to optimize traffic light regulation based on user experience and collected data. To this end, a smart traffic light monitoring and management system is included, based on machine learning and reinforcement learning techniques, which are combined simultaneously with neural networks, big data, traffic modeling, and traditional traffic engineering methods to analyze the roundabout's operation and select the most efficient solution for all users.

BREAKING NEWS SPANISH LABOUR PARTY PSOE TO BE OUTLAWED AS A CRIMINAL ORGANISATION. Pedro Sánchez is going to achieve what many have wanted for decades: the outlawing of the PSOE (Spanish Socialist Workers' Party). And this is no exaggeration; this penalty is expressly included in Article 9 of the Organic Law on Political Parties for those convicted as a Criminal Organization, having already been applied to other parties, for example, Batasuna, Herri Batasuna, or even ANV (Basque Nationalist Action), a party founded in 1930.What I can't understand is the inaction of all those who consider themselves true socialists, seeing how Sánchez is going to destroy everything, and they aren't rising up urgently against him. We will witness the inevitable and deserved outlawing of the PSOE, not only for what they have done but also for their current support of Sánchez through the inaction, silence, and passivity of its members. -All about the leaked secret summary and the inevitable and imminent indictment of Sánchez and Marlaska themselves in my latest video, which has gone viral and is trending on YouTube:

RECAP. Crime in Alicante has risen almost 5% , Women especially should be alarmed as r**e has gone up 3.8%. I bet I know what nationalites are doing the r**es! This is not good Fake food, fake t**s, fake lips and now fake Ferraris , but why don’t they mention the Nationality of the criminal. Violent road rage in Torrevieja when a scruffy individual driving a van pulled out a Stanley knife and injured a normal driver Cops where called and the scruffy git did a runner to Orihuela costa. He was eventually caught and sent to jail straight away. . Torrevieja local police together with Guardia Civil clean up Torrevieja sea front of all the looky looky illegal sellers of FAKE goods. This was from last week were a looky looky guy refused to move on after the police asked him to and became violent towards the coppers. Please don’t buy any crap from these illegal sellers, it not cheap stuff its crap stuff. New AI traffic lights at Punta Prima roundabout are a complete fail causing traffic jams and stree to drivers. Road rage will follow. Pedro Scamchez is Making history with his criminal communist labour party . So they will be banned from Politics for life. I hope this is an indicator that Labour in UK will end up the same way! !
