SPANISH NEWS 12 JUNE 2026 . This weather is crazy, hot the cold, windy then calm, but always overcast, Explanations please!
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.
