Hoy, el rapero Pablo Hasel cumple 5 años y 5 meses en prisión. No le aplican la Ley de Amnistía y estará en prisión hasta 2027. Mientras, el ladrón de Juan Carlos I sigue con toda la fortuna robada residiendo fiscalmente en Abu Dhabi. La "democracia" en España. No lo olvidemos.

Reconozco que no me esperaba que España pudiera anular de manera tan contundente a Francia. Ha sido magistral. Un control del espacio y los tiempos apabullante.

Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez celebrating the UK–EU Gibraltar treaty.

This now puts Gibraltar, a British Overseas Territory under British sovereignty, in the Schengen area for the free movement of people.

It also has a Customs Union with the European Union.
