FOREST fire in the ValencianCommunity is an ever-presentdanger, now accentuated byprolonged drought.

A blaze in Xativa (Valencia) tookAlicia Bruce, daughter of EuroWeekly News reader LindaGonzalez, by surprise as she andher family were leaving a localsports club. They heard firefighting

planes and helicopters going overand then they saw ash falling intothe swimming pool.

“We didn’t know the fire was soclose until we passed fire engineson our way home and saw theflames,” she said.

Fortunately the fire was spottedbefore it had time to spread andonly one hectare of woodland in the

Bixquert area was affected. Aircraftscooped up water from a huge poolnearby and the blaze was sooncontrolled.

The Bixquert fire was one of threeput out in Xativa on the same day,initially leading investigators tosuspect arson. But closer inspectionrevealed that all were the result ofnegligence.

A YOUNG Nigerian manwho was admitted toAlicante’s San Juan Hospitalsuspected of suffering fromthe deadly Ebola virus hasbeen given the all-clear.

He was being cared for inan isolation unit aftershowing signs of the virusincluding high fever,physical discomfort,vomiting and bleeding, butdoctors now believe hemay just be suffering froma throat infection.

The man was admitted toa general hospital andallegedly kept waiting forsix hours before beingtransferred to San Juanwhen his symptoms wererecognised as being similarto those of Ebola victims.

The decision to raise thealarm and start isolationprotocols was taken whenit became clear that thepatient had travelledthrough an Ebola-affectedzone within the last month.

Earlier this month SanJuan was assigned by the

national government totreat Ebola cases inAlicante Province.

Samples taken from theyoung man were sent tothe Spanish NationalMicrobiology Centre nearMadrid for analysis, andhave come back as

negative. There will be nofurther testing as it cannotbe proved that the patienthas come into contact withanyone infected with thevirus.

This is the second time inthe last few months that aquarantine protocol hascome into effect in theValencia Region for apossible case of the Ebolavirus. On June 23 aGuinean national wasplaced in isolation afterarriving on a flight fromMorocco and displayingsymptoms similar to thevirus, but this case alsoproved to be negative.

The Nigerian manremains in hospital underobservation.

CALPE’S salt beds are too salty thanks to oneof the worst droughts ever recorded.

Hundreds of fish have died despite 1,800cubic metres of seawater pumped into theSalinas each day since last April.

This has not averted high evaporationlevels that deprive fish of the oxygen theyneed to survive, although the resultingsalinity has prevented the green algae thatoften cover the salt beds in the summer. Thepresent conditions are decimating the greymullet that populate the Salinas althougheels and sea bass are less affected.

An Alicante University study did not detectfish in the Salinas 15 years ago althoughthey now enter from the sea as hatchlingsand, without natural predators, reproducefreely.

The town hall asked visitors and residentsnot to dramatise the situation with photos ofdead fish and alarmist commentaries in thesocial media.

Fish always die in the Salinas when hightemperatures combine with drought, thetown hall’s Environment department pointedout.

The nickname is an old one anddoes not refer to the launch seizedfrom drug smugglers andreassigned by the courts to patrolthe Cabo de San Antonio marinereserve.

The Guadalupe is named after aSpanish frigate that ran agroundand broke up off Punto del Sardo inLes Rotes in March 1799 whilepursued by two English ships. Only180 of the crew were saved and 147men lost their lives.

In an interview with the Spanishpress Martinez explained that hisgreat-grandfather, like many localmen, used to salvage copper from

SPAIN urged Brussels to take a tougherstance on illegal immigration.

Spanish President Mariano Rajoycalled for a clear and effective EuropeanUnion policy on illegal immigration whileemphasising the difficult situation hisgovernment has faced in recent daysfollowing massive attempts by sub-Saharan immigrants to illegally enterSpanish soil.

Rajoy held a brief press conference innorthwestern Spain where he expressedhis wish for Italy to be at the forefront ofan effective policy to combat illegalimmigration and help those wishing toreturn to their countries of origin.

Spain is currently experiencing amassive wave of illegal immigration. Asmany as 750 immigrants tried to enterSpanish territory on Tuesday by climbingover the border fence in Melilla - whilemore than 299 undocumented peoplewere rescued last week in the Strait of

Gibraltar trying to reach Spain aboard 31flimsy dinghies.

The boats were intercepted by theGuardia Civil and several Spain-flaggedrescue vessels.

All immigrants were taken to Puerto deTarifa in Cadiz, where they wereattended to by the Red Cross.

In an effort to stop sub-Saharanimmigrants from storming the Melilla-Morocco border, Moroccan authoritiesmade plans in May to install a five-metrehigh wall topped with razor wire along itsborder with Spain.

However, human rights organisationsdenounced the plans saying Moroccohad already begun building the barrierwithout public consultation.

The Government of Morocco failed toinform the Parliament and publicinstitutions of their plans to avoid publicoutrage, said Head of Rif Association forHuman Rights Chakib al Khayari.

The Catalan capital is home tomore than 50 per cent of these clubswhich sprung into existence thanks to alegal loophole in Spanish legislationallowing marihuana to not only becultivated but also distributed to peoplewho found a non-profit organisation.

Some clubs, however, have pushed theboundaries of Spanishlegislation by encouragingtourists to sign up fortemporary club member-ship over the Internetbefore they arrive inSpain and buy drugswhen they visit.

Barcelona Councilrecently imposed a one-year moratorium onassociations creatingcannabis clubs and nowCatalan authorities havecalled for a tougherstance and stricter ruleson cannabis.

These include passingregulations prohibitingthe opening of cannabisclubs near schools andmaking it mandatory forthem to be well ventilatedat all times. Furthermore,authorities wish to imposea maximum membershipnumber and limit openinghours. In addition, theCatalan Ministry of Healthis to present a bill inSeptember to theGeneralitat (RegionalGovernment) to regulatecannabis consumption.

It is estimated thatthere are as many as165,000 registeredmembers of cannabisclubs in Catalonia, whichbrings approximately €5million in revenue eachmonth.

HALF of all immigrants who manage to getover the fence in Ceuta and Melilla arerefugees, but only 10 per cent of themreceive asylum in Spain.

According to a report recently releasedby the Spanish Commission for Refugee Aid(CEAR) around half of the immigrants whocome over the fences come from war-torncountries and should be given asylum inSpain although only around 10 per cent ofthem actually receive it.

CEAR has presented a campaign tocollect 100,000 signatures with which toask the government to take away theconcertinaed barbed wire from the top ofthe fence and to respect human rights.

CEAR explains that refugees “are people

who never expected to have to leave theircountries and ask for asylum in order topreserve their lives and physical safety.”

Carlos Berzosa, president of CEAR, hasclaimed that the government is trying tomake out that jumping the fence is a recentproblem in order to justify its “repressivemethods,” when in actual fact this hasalways happened at that border.

He goes on to say that only 5 per cent ofillegal immigrants come in through thefences in Ceuta and Melilla - the rest comein through airports, roads and trains.

Meanwhile Spanish president, MarianoRajoy, is asking the UE for more guidelineson what is to be done about the immigrantsituation.

More asylum neededREFUGEE: Hopefully waiting at the fence.

HE good news is that Spainwould appear to be firmly onthe road to recovery. Alongwith the UK, economic

growth rates are amongst the highestin the Western World.

A rise in GDP of 0.6 per cent in thefirst quarter beat all forecasts forSpain and is significantly above theshock 0 per cent and -0.2 per centfigures shown by France andGermany respectively. The UK issteaming ahead with 0.8 per centgrowth.

But, worryingly for Spain, the UK isin a significantly better position forthe simple reason that it controls itsown currency. The UK can dowhatever it wants to control itsmonetary policy.

Spain on the other hand is tied intothe Euro. Thus it has to followEuropean policy. That has so far beenseen to serve the best interests of thetwo largest European mainland

economies - France and Germany. Overall the Euro has probably been

a good thing for Spain, althoughthose who remember the steep pricerises when it was first introduced maybeg to differ.

Let us hope the Spanish recovery isnot hampered by policies designed toprotect the two ‘senior’ members ofthe European club at the cost of thesmaller countries.

The submerged eco-nomy is as harmful tothose who meticulouslyfulfil their fiscal obligations

as it is to the nationaleconomy, OPA maintained.

The economic crisis,corruption, high taxes,unpaid debts and the highunemployment rate arethe principal reasonsbehind the flourishingsubmerged economy, saidOPA president CamiloAbietar.

He called on the publicadministration to step upinspections to eradicatethe parallel systemalthough controls neededto be carried out with aneven hand, he warned.

They should not focuson criminalising profes-sionals and the self-employed, Abietarstressed, as the majorityoperated legitimately andmet all their legalobligations.

DESPITE it being the peak of thehigh season trade was quiet.

The restaurant’s owners wereshoulder-shrugging philosophicalabout it. Hardly alone, hundredsof similar eateries and relatedbusinesses are in a similarsituation.

Sure their counterpartsscattered along the busy front-line esplanades are busier.However, all things being relative,their higher costs will equalthings out over the course of theyear.

If there are empty tables inmid-August tourist hotspots whatchance for the rest of the year? Ipassionately believe Costa bar-restaurant turnover could easilybe multiplied many times over.

I do have the answers. Theproblem is that whilst everyoneagrees, no one has the courageto break from the herd. The mostunpopular person in the office is

the new manager who says, ‘I amgoing to change everything here.’

Let’s go to England to see if wecan find the answers there. Duh!Is that sensible? England and forthat matter, Dublin in Ireland andRiga in Latvia are high priced,cool and often rainy.

Yet, disconcertingly these cities,which do compete with Spain fortourism, don’t seem to have anoff season. Whenever I visit,whatever the weather, the barsand restaurants are busy.

In Bristol and Liverpool it is still

necessary to book a restauranttable, be prepared to wait or beturned away.

I will tell you what it is; theyoffer real variety. I swear there isa bigger and much more variedchoice of restaurants in amoderately sized English city thanthere is along the entireMediterranean coast of Spain.Furthermore, the service is farbetter as is the quality ofatmosphere and food.

Here, if you have seen any tworestaurants you have seen themall. The choice is Blackpool type1960s era tin-table cafés orSpanish ambience restaurants;take it or leave it. Karaokemusical fare is as tediouslyunimaginative as the fare on theplate. I cannot think of a singleatmospheric exotic ambiencewine bar that invites a smartdress code. In England I wasspoiled for choice.

EUREKA! There is nooff season in the UK

Talking shop THE European Com-mission sanctioned Spainfor exceeding fishingquotas in 2013.

To balance last year’soverfishing the EC hasdiscounted 555 tons fromthis year’s total allocation.Species include cod,halibut, haddock, sole,lobster and pollack.

“If we want to beserious in our fightagainst over-fishing weneed to apply our rules bythe book, and thatincludes respectingquotas,” said MariaDamanaki, EU Com-missioner for MaritimeAffairs and Fisheries.

Not only Spain isaffected by the sanctions,but also Denmark, theUK, France, Belgium,Greece, Ireland, theNetherlands, Poland and

Portugal. In those caseswhere sanctioned coun-tries have already landedtheir quotas for this year,the EC will reduce theallocation for anotherstock in the samegeographical area.

Despite overfishing bythese countries, sanctionsfell by 22 per centcompared with last year.Overall, they had done “agood job” in easing thepressure on Europe’soverfished waters,Damanaki said.

The EC estimates thatthree-quarters ofEuropean stocks are atrisk and in May 2013, EUmembers agreed to enddecades of depletion inorder to boostdiminishing stocks by upto 15 million tons by2020.

Over-fishingsanctions for Spainand nine others

SPANISH exporters are notreassured by the Spanishgovernment’s ‘keep calm’policy regarding Russiansanctions.

The restrictions wereVladimir Putin’s response toearlier sanctions imposed bythe West after a passengeraircraft was shot down overUkraine by pro-Russianfighters.

According to Spain’s Ministryof Agriculture, Spain stands tolose €337 million in lostexports, although theEuropean Commission placesthis at €338 million.

Miguel Blanco president ofCOAG, coordinator of Spain’sgrowers and farmers, believesthe figure is closer to €1.2billion. “It’s not only directexports of around €340 million

that are affected by theRussian embargo,” Blancosaid. “We’re talking about€1.2 billion that will beindirectly affected too.”

According to the Spanishgovernment, the effects of theRussian embargo will belimited. Although Brusselsplaces Spain sixth behindLithuania, Poland, Germany,Holland and Denmark as themost affected, there are 16 EUcountries that will lose morethan Spain, the governmentinsisted.

Spain exports goods totallingan annual €234 billion, itclaimed, and the lost turnoverfrom Russia will amount to

only 0.14 per cent of the total.Limited or not, Agriculture

minister Isabel Garcia Tejerinahas asked Brussels to takeurgent measures to ensurethat the market is not floodedwith unsold produce destinedfor Russia.

Andalucia and the ValencianCommunity, which export fruitand vegetables year-round toRussia, expect to feel thegreatest impact. Cataluña willalso be affected, principallythrough seasonal exports ofpeaches, nectarines andplums.

The winner here is LatinAmerica which has happily andhastily stepped into the breachleft by EU exporters, to thedispleasure of Brussels. Theyhave been asked to reconsidertheir newly-signed contracts.

EXPORTED FRUIT: Andaluciaand the Valencian Communitywill feel the greatest impact.

IT’S often said it’s the littlethings that count. Andwhen it comes to saving orgetting out of debt thiscould not be truer. Theother day I heard about amobile phone app thattakes this idea of ‘littlethings’ and elevates it intoa savings reality.

Basically the idea is thatevery time a person istempted to buy a treatduring the day or purchasesomething that is not reallyvery necessary, the appallows for the money to be

saved instead with just theclick of a button.

For example how manytimes during the averageday do we splash out onthings like a fancy icedcoffee because we see apoint of sale display thatlures us in. Or perhaps wego to the shops to buysome deodorant, when all

of a sudden we walk outwith a new nail polish andlipstick.

The point of the app isthat every time we findourselves in this position ,the app gives the option oftransferring that moneydirectly to a savingsaccount. Instead ofspending €4 on an impulse

nail polish, the option isavailable to put that €4into a savings account.

What I like about an applike this is it makes it easyto see how we wastemoney throughout the dayand allows for a sense ofsatisfaction by providingthe opportunity to resisttemptation and save.

When we control oururge to spend and start tosee money building up in asavings account it reallydoes offer a sense offulfilment and give usambition to keep saving.

Unfortunately this app iscurrently just available forNationwide customers inthe UK. Perhaps Spanishbanks will pick up on thetrend shortly, but in themeantime, with a little bitof discipline we could dothe same ourselves.

While it’s a little moretime consuming, we couldin theory restrain frombuying unnecessary treatsthroughout the day andthen tot up how much wewould have potentiallyspent. Then, simplytransfer this money into asavings account viainternet banking.

Q. . I have a holiday apartment I use fora month each year. Since 2002 I havepaid my bill every two months for Endesastanding charges and any power used.

In 2013 I noticed a large jump in theEndesa debit. The average fee for two

months had been about €50 but it jumped to €100. I saw there was apenalisation fee for an ICP. I went to the Endesa office with a photo of myfuseboard. I was told the penalisation would stop from that date. However, Iam confused as to what right Endesa had to penalise me. I would like to getthis refunded as I knew nothing about it. R.C.

You and theLaw in SpainBy David Searl

Can Endesa penalise him?

A. Well, you somehow missed thewarnings sent to consumers in2012. The ICP is an Interruptor deControl de Potencia, and it isrequired by law on all electricalinstallations as of two years ago. Itprotects your system from overuseand assures that you do notconsume more electricity than youhave contracted at any one time.We suppose that the photographshowed that in fact you now havean ICP installed, but never informedthe company. And, yes, Endesa hasthe right to put the surcharge onyour bill. That is, unless you canprove that you were never notified.

INDITEX, whose Zara brand madeAmancio Ortega the world’s third-richestman, is going online with Lefties.

This is Inditex’s low-cost range of Zaramodels left over from the previous season.It is already present in 100 shops in Spainand Portugal and the group plans to takeon H & M and Primark by launching Leftiesas a label in its own right, with its owncollection and a new image.

Unavailable online until now, it makes itsinternet debut tomorrow, August 22.

The company is committed to internetcommerce, the current Inditex chairmanPablo Isla declared recently. This is animportant part of its multi-channel strategyof coordinating increased retail space with

expanded online sales. The groupcontinues to see huge growth opportunitiesin different markets, Isla told the lastshareholders’ meeting in July. “There areample prospects of growth in all areas ofEurope while the US is very attractive,” Islasaid.

There are few clues as to Lefties’ currentprofitability as the group has neversupplied separate breakdown of Leftiesresults, which until now have beenincluded in Zara’s.

Nor does Inditex make a habit ofrevealing its strategies regarding brands orstores to shareholders or the media.Nevertheless the new Lefties strategybegan to take shape on August 1 with two

new stores on the outskirts ofMoscow and a third in the StPetersburg suburbs.

The company has also declinedto disclose whether there areconcerns regarding the sanctionsimposed by the EU on Russia,where Zara and eight otherInditex fashion labels are sold inmore than 400 stores.

Spain’s publicdebt rockets to€1 trillion

SPAIN’S public debt soaredto a whopping €1 trillion.

According to datareleased by Banco deEspaña, the Spanish publicdebt rocketed to just over€1 trillion or 98.4 per centof GDP. The Governmentestimates the debt levelscould increase before theend of the year to as muchas 99.5 per cent of GDP.

Spain’s debt has actuallytripled since the outbreakof the economic crisis from36.3 per cent of GDP in2007 to almost 100 percent in 2014. Most of thedebt was incurred by theCentral Government (84.5per cent of Spain’s grossdomestic product),followed by the Autono-mous Communities (21.7per cent of GDP) and thelocal councils (4 per cent).

These levels are some ofthe highest seen in moderntimes.

A little bit of restraint for a happier financial you

Slim pickingsONLY 1.1 per cent of the 176,715 self-employed who ceased business in thefirst quarter of this year requestedunemployment benefit. It was eventuallygranted to only 531 applicants.

Scruffy beardsthat need a triminfecting societyDURING the last five or 10years we’ve witnessed acontagious fad amongstSpanish men of all ages. Theygrow beards so dishevelled andmulti-coloured that many ofthese untidy bramble bushesresemble an explosion in a silo.

Beginning with many of ournot-so-prestigious politicalleaders, with their whiskers ofdiverse shades of black, white,grey and brown, we nowdiscover that the epidemic hasspread.

It infects almost all Spanishmales, young or old, thecommon denominator beingthat almost none of theserecently-converted fad-followers take the time oreffort to trim or care for them.Is it due to simple laziness orsloth?

I realise that this gripe ofmine (and also my Valencianwife’s) is not one of our majorproblems in crisis-ridden Spain,but if we look around toobserve the males of otherWestern nations, we readilynotice that hardly any of them(young or old, famous or not)wear beards. Those few beardsthat exist are well-trimmed andof one colour.

In the darkAS a long term resident ofArtola Alta I see the samecircus every year.

Most of the time the mainstreet is in total darkness andsuddenly when the tourists arehere and the IBI is due, thelights miraculously workperfectly.

Of course, with no lights inthe street the area is a magnetfor petty crime and break-insare so frequent they havebecome commonplace.

The day after the direct debithas gone through your bankaccount the lights go off.

Now is that coincidence or isthat perfect ‘Urban Planning?’

Paul R Ballard (by email)

Think again I ASSUME that the articleentitled ‘Pensioner saved frommountain’ was written bysomeone in their twenties.‘Elderly’ is not a term to use fora person of 62 years of age, itsmeaning being someonewho is approaching oldage.

Most people incurrent employment in the UK,who I’m sure do not considerthemselves elderly, will have towork until they’re 70 to receivetheir pensions. Expat retireeswhose spending keeps Spainalive comprise 50 per cent ofmany local Spanishcommunities, so I wouldsuggest that you reconsider theuse of this adjective.

Fellow feelingRJ (I can see why he or she isanonymous) can give to Syrianrefugees or not as he or she

likes. However, it is disgustingto see how he or she insultsthose desperate people bysuggesting that, if it gives thema better life, they will come andkill us.

I would like to see RJ howlingfor help when driven fromhome, hungry and tortured bythe heat, family scattered orblasted to death. Howconvenient it would be to playScrooge and tell him or her togo off and die and stoptroubling us.

RJ should read A ChristmasCarol and wake up afterdreaming of life in a refugee

camp. I doubt if Leapy Leeintended to provoke a reactionlike RJ’s, but he may like toreflect on where hisgeneralisations can lead.

Bill Campbell (by email)

Workings outI WILL start by assuming thatLeapy Lee classes all peoplefrom the Middle East as Arabs.

The main numerical systemused in all mathematicalexercises is based on theArabic set of numerals,without which mathematicswould be unintelligible andunuseable.

The previous most usednumeral system was theRoman system in whichmathematics is impossible. Forexample is X 10 or is it thesymbol for multiplication?

Or simply try to add ii to iion paper or withoutconverting it to the Arabicnumerals to complete thetask.

Oil interestsWE have to recognise that theMuslims have had good reasonsto despise the West.

From the Crusades to the 20thcentury the Western world hastreated them with disdain andcontempt even after oil wasdiscovered.

Thus the Americans andEuropean powers haveinterfered time and time againwith countries in the Middle Eastand in North Africa, wanting toinstall regimes that would befavourable to the West and to itsoil interests.

It is a pity that the West didnot have the self respect to gowithout the wretched oil fromthose areas of the world.

Sadly, Muslims can also seethe decadence of the Westernworld, with its corruption,permissiveness, greed,immorality and appallingstandards of dress.

They did have a highcivilisation, notably in MoorishSpain, without which theEuropean Renaissance might nothave occurred.

After that, I agree with LeapyLee: one cannot think of a singlething which they have producedor invented for the benefit,progress or happiness ofmankind in the last 500 years.

Yet because of the oil moneythey can reap the benefits of allthe tremendous achievements ofthe Western world (and Asia).We should get out of all theircountries.

No bargainI’M indifferent to Looky-Lookymen and have never paid outfor any of their wares, but haveto comment on an assertion bylast week’s Your Saycorrespondent, RichardFranklyn.

He appears to believe thatthey charge €15 for ‘perfect’polo shirts that would otherwisecost €85. These vendors arepeddling inferior copies blowntogether in sweatshops on theother side of the world. Theyhave no claim to perfection andprobably aren’t even worth €15although possibly RichardFranklyn doesn’t know thedifference.

For some people, it has beeneasy to respond to the inspector.For example, one inspector askedthe taxpayer about previous years,only to find out that the individualconcerned was not resident inSpain at that time.

However, this highlights the

importance of keeping records(including of where you wereliving and when), and declaringassets accurately and appropriately.

Even people who had no wealthtaxes to pay in previous years maystill have to put up with theinconvenience of the enquiry, notto mention the expenses - potentiallegal and accountancy fees,translation fees etc. - as well as thetime involved. For those who arecaught out not declaring assets,there can be unpaid tax, penaltiesand interest due, not to mentiontax on income generated by theundeclared assets (and penaltiesand interest on that). It can be avery unsettling experience.

There are ways that you canlegally minimise income andwealth taxes, and while this willmean that people still have tomake the correct declarations, theywill have peace of mind that theyare declaring correctly, and do nothave anything to fear from thetaxman. As we have always

recommended, only use legitimatemeans of limiting your taxliabilities, through tailoredspecialised advice.

Amnesty on undeclared foreignpension income

On 1st August, the Spanish taxauthorities announced that anamnesty will be introduced forresidents of Spain who are paid apension income from abroad. Itwill run for a period of six months,starting January 2015.

Exchange of informationbetween countries has beenstrengthening over recent years.The local authorities have beenreceiving data on their taxpayers,and have discovered that asubstantial number of Spanish taxresidents have not declaredpension income that is taxableunder the terms of the double taxtreaties. The Hacienda has recentlyopened nearly 28,000 enquiriesinto expatriates’ tax returns.

During the six month amnestyperiod, affected taxpayers may

submit additional self-assessmentreturns for the previous four taxyears. Under the provisions of thedraft legislation, any penaltiesand surcharges would be waivedbut the income tax on theundeclared pension income andrelated interest would still bepayable.

Normally an amnesty is followedup by tightening of the tax rules.This is therefore an opportunityfor expatriates to check that theyhave been declaring their pensionincome according to the Spanishtax legislation, and to regularisetheir tax affairs if necessary.British expatriates need tounderstand both the UK andSpanish tax rules for their UKpensions, and the interactionbetween them. Seek specialistadvice.

Now that the first Modelo 720(overseas assets reporting) forms havebeen submitted and processed,people have started hearing from theSpanish tax inspectors. The taxauthorities have also recentlyannounced an amnesty forundeclared foreign source pensionincome.

Modelo 720Form 720 is not a tax form; it is

simply a form on which a Spanishresident individual has to report theirnon-Spanish assets, and also theirshare of such assets held jointly.

However, it was always perceivedby many commentators, includingBlevins Franks, to be a way for theauthorities to catch out people whoare not reporting assets on theirwealth tax returns. With assetreporting through Modelo 720, thescope for hiding assets and incomefrom the taxman, which is taxevasion, has been very much reducedin Spain.

Most of these enquiries from theSpanish tax inspectors appear to berelated to discrepancies between theassets an individual has reported onthe Modelo 720 and the wealth taxreturn (or even the absence of a

OPINION & COMMENT EWN 3521 - 27 August 2014 / Costa Blanca NorthTRUST our advertisers WE DO!

AKE no mistake, war is, as wespeak, licking its lips andsavouring the taste of deathand destruction at the very

borders of the UK, and indeed a numberof other European communities.

The enemy is everywhere. Never mindIraq, Afghanistan and so forth, we needto look much closer to home for the truethreat from Islamist militants. When someapparently slight and no doubtorchestrated incident sparks it off, riotingand war will erupt on the streets of theUK in a way unprecedented in our history,and to my mind it’s a great deal closerthan we think. We should be preparingfor it now.

We will of course ultimately win, but thecost will depend totally on the extent ofour preparation. If we are ill-prepared andstill allow human rights, politicalcorrectness and all that rubbish toinfluence our decisions, we will becondemning even more of our citizens to

horrible deaths and extend the conflictunacceptably. We need to be training upan elitist band of some 100,000 troops,fully experienced in close combat andstreet-fighting. They need to be stationedin all of our major cities and be ready torespond immediately to the slightestincident involving Islamist violence.

They need to have carte blanche

permission to enter any area, open fireand attack when ordered, without theworry of being accused of murder orhuman right infringement at some laterdate. They need to have the power toarrest and take prisoner any militants whooppose them on the streets.

These militants must then be escortedstraight to airports under heavy guard,

flown to landing sites in Syria andAfghanistan and left there. All passportsof both them, and indeed anyone, whohas fought for the extremists abroad,must be immediately revoked. All visitorsfrom Mid-East countries must beprevented from entering the UK until weonce again have total control. Believe me,unless our dithering, denial-riddledpoliticians get their silly heads out of thesand, the whole of Europe is going to finditself in real trouble.

Alright, I can hear it from here, ‘Leapy’sat the rant up again.’ Well, be that as itmay, I dread to think of how many armscaches and suicide bombers are waitingin the cities of the UK and Europe, readyto spring into action the minute the firstmilitant Imam scream ‘Allah Akbar’ and‘death to the infidels’ across the expansesof our green and pleasant lands.

Oh that we had a Thatcher or Churchillat the helm. At least they lived in a worldof reality.

Have a good week. Thanks for all thecorrespondence. Keep em coming, tryand help someone out.

And whatever ya do, always keep the faith

TRAINED TROOPS: Need to be stationed in all our major cities.

AROL ADAMS of StopSmoking Spain was a hugefan of his. She said: “Theworld became a lot less

funnier when Robin Williams died. Iwas so shocked and stunned and stillcan’t quite believe he has gone.

“My favourite film of his wasAwakenings. I can watch it time andtime again.

“And his best joke, which oftenmakes me smile in traffic is: ‘Why dothey call it rush hour when nothingmoves?’”

Chris Tyler of Los ConterosRestaurant, in Villaricos, Almeria,said: “I have many favouritemoments but my absolute favouritemoment has to be when RobinWilliams was running the radiostation in Good Morning, Vietnam.

He was so animated andso enthusiastic in a

situation wherethereshouldbe no

enthusiasm.”With so many hit movies behind

him there are plenty of favouritemoments to choose from. DebbieGammage of Wavelengths in Albox,Almeria, loved a certain Scottish‘lady’.

“It was absolutely hilarious in MrsDoubtfire when his chest caughtfire and he put the flames out withsaucepan lids! But we also lovedhim in Mork & Mindy. We willalways say ‘Nanu nanu’ when wethink of him. Such a shame he’sgone!”

Jenni Rock of Gladrags,also in Albox, agreed: “I was

around in the 1970s, so we all knewand loved Mork & Mindy. RobinWilliams was a comedy genius. Hewas such a funny man. They are nowrunning lots of his films and series onthe television, which is bringing backlots of happy memories. It reallybrings home to you what a comedygenius he was. He is sadly missed.”

OPINION & COMMENT www.euroweeklynews.com 39EWN21 - 27 August 2014 / Costa Blanca Nor th

T the far end of a colourfullife it occurs to me thatwhat once seemedordinary was in fact quite

extraordinary.I had little idea what to expect when,

as a deck-boy, I boarded the MVBritannic. The last of the White StarCompany’s liners (think Titanic), Icheerfully looked forward to life on theocean wave. Given directions at thehead of the ship’s gangway, myrecollection is often focused on thecharacters of that era. I wonder do suchmen still exist.

Over the next years I was drawn intothe lives of men who had survived thewar’s coffin boats and convoys; manyhad been captured. Lives of many werefilled with drama.

The pugilistic frightfulness ofManxman Joe Kieg, caused even theshipping line’s commodore and hisofficers to roll their eyes and turn away

when he brutally and publicly exactedrevenge on a foe during boat drill.

At the ship’s wheel, a 16-year-olddoesn’t question the course given by theofficer of the watch. It was a quietmidsummer dawn as this great oceanliner swept silently along the southernIrish coast.

Unnervingly the 1st Officer instructedme to steer a course that brought theleviathan at breakneck speed just half akilometre from the Emerald Isle’s

coastline. I could see early risers onland but could only imagine theirexpressions.

I reasoned afterwards that the officerhad always pined to carry out themarine equivalent of flying under theTower Bridge. On that morning theconditions were just right.

The same officer put me on a directcollision course with a mid Atlantic podof whales. I will never forget his look ofquiet satisfaction when our plunging

liner separated one of these beautifulcreature’s heads from its body.

I never questioned it. Why would I?Everything to me back then was normal.Captain Ignatius Inez was the Spanishskipper of the Ibadan Palm. To savevaluable time his technique was to ramthe ship’s speeding bow into the muddybanks of Africa’s jungle creeks.

By doing so the river’s current sweptthe stern round to negotiate each bendmore quickly than by steering it. Thesame skipper used his six-cell torch topublicly beat the living daylights out of astowaway. The generation of sailorsprior to mine hurled such unfortunatesinto the Atlantic.

Never to be forgotten the drowsinessof a day sailing off the Mexican coast.This hapless teenager was on the wheelwhen, in the distance, taking an interestin our ship, I saw a US destroyer.

Quite incapable of making anindependent decision and unable torouse the ship’s mate, I stubbornlysteered the course given earlier. I dreadto think of the consequences had notthe warship’s captain blinked first andmoved smartly out of the way of ourcareering cargo liner.

SHIP’S WHEEL: The officer of the watch would instruct the course to be taken.

By David Kavanagh

THE Euro Weekly Newsreported that five formerSpanish fighter planes werebeing sold from a warehouse inTexas, USA and said they werenever used by the Spanish orGerman Air Forces, but wereused as Hollywood props. Thisis not quite correct.

The five aircraft are HispanoAviación HA-1112 which was aSpanish licensed-built versionof the famous GermanMesserschmitt Me 109 of WorldWar Two. The Germans havingsupplied Franco with aircraftduring the Civil War, theSpanish continued to buildthese themselves both duringand after World War Two.

After the war the Spanishwere unable to obtain furtherGerman engines so fitted RollsRoyce Merlin enginespurchased from the UK to fit totheir licence-built Me 109

airframes. This became theHispano HA-1112, known asthe Buchón. Ironically it was

the Rolls Royce Merlin enginethat powered the Spitfires andHurricanes that fought the

German Me 109s over Englandin 1940 during the Battle ofBritain.

The Spanish Air Force,Ejército del Aire, continued tooperate the Hispano HA-1112,including the five aircraft nowfor sale in USA, until 1968.These five aircraft, andapproximately 20 more werepurchased from the SpanishGovernment by the makers ofthe 1969 film ‘Battle ofBritain,’ United Artists, andflown to the UK for the flyingsequences of the film. Theaircraft playing the part ofGerman Messerschmitt Me109s.

At the end of the filmingthese five were purchased bya Texan pilot who had flownthem in the film. He storedthem in a warehouse in Texasfor 45 years and they are nowfor sale for at least €600,000.

A number of restoredHispano HA-1112 Buchónscontinue to fly in Europe,mostly painted to representGerman Me 109s.

WHAT does that reallymean? Many think that it islike a peanut allergy oranything else that causesan acute reaction in theform of hives, itchiness,swelling, difficulty breath-ing and so on.

Most food allergieshowever, develop overtime. Proteins andcarbohydrates are thebiggest offenders.Additives and E-numberscan also cause allergy.

A pet that is fed thesame food or food with thesame ingredients can overa period oftime from

six months to three yearsdevelop an allergy to theseingredients.

Not to be

confused with foodintolerance that can giveacute reactions such asvomiting and diarrhoea.

A food allergy causesgeneral itchiness. Veryoften more predominantaround the face and theanal area, but it can involvethe whole body. Thediagnosis of food allergyand finding the responsiblefactor is quite challenging.

Blood tests are disputableand elimination diets take along time and dedication.

The treatment would beto change to a hypo or anallergenic food which eitherdoes not contain theingredients that cause theallergy or containsingredients that have beenhydrolyzed. In some casesa home-made food mightbe the only way.

MANY of you will believethat our dogs have thesame feelings andemotions as humans andthat they understand ourlanguage, this is amistaken belief. Dogs dounderstand our bodylanguage but are unableto understand ouremotions.

Dogs are not small, fur-clad human beings theyare canines even thoughthey show loyalty anddevotion to the hand thatfeeds them.

Dogs live totally in thepresent. They do notworry about the pastand do not dreamabout the future.They are not

endowed with imagina-tion or feel grief, hate,jealousy or greed orother emotions thatbedevil human society.They do have a highsensory ability which isoften mistaken for a kindof sixth sense.

They will

understand whether yourtone of voice and yourfacial expressions aregood or bad when youare talking to them, inwhatever language, butthey will not understandlonger phrases thancommands like sit, stayand get down.

A good example iswhen we believe our dogis sulking or when a dogpines over the death of amember of the family.The dog will be

feeling the loss of amember of the family. Itwill also be confused bythe vibrations of distressit picks up from the familywhen there arearguments. Once thefamily has settled down,the dog will make a quickrecovery, for it lives in thepresent and not in thepast.

Do not attribute dogswith human emotions.Try, instead, tounderstand their simplecanine minds, which areuntroubled by so many ofour emotions. By the waymy Boy Boy is nearlyhuman.

LEO(July 24 - August 23)Are you looking for guidance?Maybe you are thinking that arecent acquaintance will be able toprovide it. You ran something by a fewfriends and they are not so sure.

LIBRA(September 24 - October 23)There’s a lot of buzzing going onin your head. No, it isn’t tinnitus,it’s something quite different. Youknow it’s a great time to get ideas and acton them. However, trying to act on toomany at once is causing some confusion.Maybe there’s too much going on.

SCORPIO(October 24 - November 22)You’ve been working hard,maybe in the dark some of thetime. This week someone shines a torchon your situation and you see exactlywhere you are. Are you surprised? Youshouldn’t be.

SAGITTARIUS(November 23 - December21)Getting a creative project startedhas opened your eyes to many things.Perhaps you question why you did not doit before.

ARIES(March 21 - April 20)That little bit of extra cash hasmade you realise something. Noteverything is as simple as you wouldwish it to be, and throwing money at aproblem will not make it go awayentirely. There are some things that youneed to come to terms with. It is mucheasier to incorporate the uneasy intoyour life if you take a more relaxedattitude.

TAURUS(April 21 - May 21)Sometimes, when we are making ajourney, it is not the usual route that is best.Something has changed in your sphere andthere is a need to adjust to it. There areother options that will bring the same resultand maybe even a more convenient one.You will need to do two things. The first is toopen your mind to the possibilities. .

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21)Someone needs to learn to standon their own two feet. It isn’t you,but it’s close. Finding a balance betweenhelping and idly standing by whilemistakes are made is necessary. It’s noteasy but it has to be done. You may breakinto a sweat this week and it won’t suityour nerves, but you’ll get through.

CANCER(June 22 - July 23)A way opens up before you thatcan bring wealth. Branching offfrom that is a path to certain happiness.Which will you take? If having that moneymeans changing your nature (or trying to)is that going to make you happy? On theother hand, if you sidestep the money canyou still be happy?

SHISEIDO, Japan’s most famous cosmetic brand,has launched a new product on the European

market, Ultimune: power infusingconcentrate, but what is it composed of

and how good is it?The main ingredients, as statedon the packaging, are Damascusrose oil, Ginko Biloba, Perillafrutescens (similar to nettles),

Thymus Serpyllium (of the thymefamily) and vitamin E - as well as a

lot of alcohol.The thymus helps skin to hydrate andis a natural disinfectant, the perillacan have anti-inflammatory

properties and the ginko is a topicalanti-oxidant - but the fact remains that

there is nothing very new here and themain ingredient seems to be alcohol.The manufacturers are recommending

that Ultimune be used before a serum as asort of preparatory serum which leaves users

with the question of why bother?

THE concept of a pillwhich could stop thegreying effects on hair hasbeen floating around forsome time, but now it maysoon become a reality.

FASEB (Spanish medicalresearch organisation) haspublished a study in whichthey explain a mechanismwhich could govern thegreying of hair.

Researchers at theUniversity of Bradford, UK,have demonstrated that,over time, stress produceshydrogen peroxide in thehair follicles and thisblocks the production ofmelatonin, which isresponsible for the colourin hair and skin.

A sub product of thisreaction is the productionof enzymes whichseparate from theperoxide and allow thehair follicles to absorb tinyair bubbles which get

trapped in the hair andgive it that greyappearance.

The trick would be toeliminate the productionof hydrogen peroxide inthe hair follicles beforethey can allow the airbubbles into the shaft ofthe hair.

Nobody knows whichpharmaceutical companywill be the first to perfectthe anti-greying pill butone thing is for sure - theywill get rich on it.

THINK you can use anykind of fish for sushi orsashimi? Well think again.

Yes, nearly every fish isedible, but that does notmean every single one isedible raw, thus making itunsuitable for sushi.Some of the classic fishspecies used in sushiinclude tuna, salmon,yellowtail, flounder,squid, gizzard shad,mackerel, sea bass, seabream and snapper.

More often than not itis perfectly safe to useany farmed fish from theUK, Norway, NewZealand, Canada, Japanand Norway to preparesushi, because thesecountries have strictstandards regarding

cleanliness and you arevery unlikely to findparasites in their farmedfish, not even if you buytrout or sturgeon.

Sushi chefs recom-mend that all the seafoodsushi lovers decide to eatraw be previously frozen,because it is safer that

way. Even sushi chefsfreeze their salmon first,because it is incrediblysusceptible to parasites.

Sushi-grade fish arecaught quickly, bled andgutted upon capture andiced thoroughly.

Some sushi lovers mayeven decide to catchtheir own fish and eatthem raw in a nice riceroll, but they would bewell-advised to bleed thefish by slicing throughthe gills and to gut itright on the boat,because most wormsliving in fish live in theirguts and migrate to theflesh once the fish hasdied. However this canbe prevented with fastgutting.

Not every fish can be sushi

SUSHI-GRADE FISH: Some classic species includesalmon, mackerel and sea bass.

NO cake on Earth is moredelicious than the heavenlyenticing black forest cake.

Invented by the Germanpastry chef Josef Keller in1915, it may take a fewattempts to get thisexquisite dessert just right,but it is no rocket scienceeither. Here are a fewsimple tips for the perfectblack forest cake.

Some recipes call formaking the cherry fillingwith brandy, but the truth isyou can use rum or kirsch,

since their flavours alsocomplement the darkchocolate.

Do not forget to preparethe cherries that will beused for the filling the nightbefore baking anddecorating the cake. And itis also a great idea to soakthe fruit in brandy or rumovernight to infuse themwith the flavour of liquor.

German chefs recom-mend refrigerating the

block of chocolate over-night before baking thecake and making theshavings the night before.It is also better to wait untilthe last minute beforepreparing the whippedcream because it is veryperishable and freshestright after it is prepared.

And don’t forget that theflavour is even better whenit is kept in the fridge for atleast six or eight hours.

JAPANESE culture is famous for itscomplex system of social rules andconventions, especially when itcomes to eating and drinking.

Make sure to follow these hints ifyou ever find yourself dining withJapanese friends or colleagues.

In Japan it is considered rude fora guest to pour himself or herself adrink. Instead of grabbing the bottleand helping yourself to the sake,wait for your drinking partner topour you a drink. You can thenreciprocate by pouring his or hers.

When attending a social gatheringor an elegant banquet, do not evertake a sip until every single guesthas a glass, raises it and sayskampai! (Japanese for cheers).

It is very common for Japanesepeople to share dishes of food at thetable instead of serving each guesthis or her own individual dish.Westerners may find this unusualand awkward at first but rememberthat it is a different culture. Whensharing dishes with other people atthe table, move part of the food

onto your own plate with theopposite end of the chopsticks.

After you are done eating, moveall your dishes to the position theywere before the meal started and donot forget to put the chopsticksback into their paper slip.

Just like in many countries around

the world, it is considered extremelyimpolite to burp and blow one’snose at the table, but the Japanesewill even be more offended if guestsdo not empty their dishes to the lastgrain of rice, as they are likely tothink the meal was just not goodenough.

The dos and don’ts ofJapanese table manners

DRINKING ETIQUETTE: Your drinking partner will pour you a drink.

Apartment terraces need attentionto be attractive outdoor living spaces

Well at last we havea cool day and it’sbeen a joy to do

some midday tidying up inthe garden and on groundlevel and first floorterraces. Also this morningit was noticeable, in town,that more people thanrecently were activelycaring for plants onapartment terraces andadding various artefacts tobare walls, to make theterraces more attractiveoutdoor living spaces.

Yet it is still amazing thatprobably 80 per cent ofapartment terraces aretotally underutilised foroutdoor living.

In the bible forapartment dwellers

‘Apartment gardening -Mediterranean style’ weinclude check lists of themain season by seasontasks organised into sixgroups.

These are floweringplants, evergreen plants,herbs, fruit growing,vegetable growing andother. For instance the topnine tasks for late summerare as follows.

1. Keepup the daily watering andevery few days mist spraythe leaves.

2. Regularly deadheadflowering plants as flowersdie.

3. Keep plants in shapeby pruning stragglygrowth.

4. If herb plants growlarge, trim off the excessgrowth and hang up theprunings as bunches or inwoven plastic net bags.

5. As the days shortenand become a few degreescooler, cut back the extentof watering to avoid therotting of trunks and roots.

6. Take cuttings ofperennials and succulentsto produce new plants toinexpensively increase thedensity of your groups ofplants.

7. Prune fruit trees andvines to shape.

8. Lightly dust the leavesand fruits of fruitvegetables (tomatoes,peppers, aubergines,

beans and courgettes etc.)to reduce the chance ofmildew damaging them.

9. Spray fruit treesmonthly with a neem (3-5ml per litre) and propolis

(3-5 ml per litre) waterspray against possibleinsect and fungal sporeattacks.

What is encouraging isthat Russian expats are

now seeking out our booksincluding ‘ApartmentGardening - Mediterraneanstyle’.

The latter not just byapartment dwellers butalso by villa dwellers whohave extensive terraceswith groups of containersof various sizes.

Four possible designs forapartment terraces areillustrated clockwise fromtop left by photographsfrom the book.

The first is a colourfuland restful eating terracejust outside the kitchendoor. A wide variety ofartefacts are used as wellas plants. The awningprotects plants from thelow winter sun more thanthe summer sun.

The second is a smallishsucculent surroundedterrace with an awningthat can be opened outwhich is great for enjoyingthe sun and evening eatingwith the chair folded upand a table opened up.

Thirdly this patio in thesky, surrounded byneighbouring apartmentswith undeveloped terraces,creates all year roundcolourful perfumedgreenery among towerblocks for the owners.

The fourth shows aproductive one squaremetre of a terrace. Fifteenvarieties of vegetablescould be harvested at thesame time.

Hopefully such ideas willstimulate more apartmentgrowers to improve theuse of their apartmentsand at the same timebrighten up theirapartment block andoverall urban area.

BRIGHT TERRACES: Fourpossible designs are

shown.

SPAIN’S low propertyprices are attractinginvestors from all over theworld.

While there is nodenying that France hadlong been a popular portof call for people lookingfor a European hideout,the sharp decrease in realestate prices in Spain byas much as 60 per centcontinues to woo potentialhome buyers and agentsreport the number ofinquiries, especially fromforeigners, have tripled.

There are other reasonsexplaining the recent

increase of foreigners’interest in Spain’s real-estate market besides thepromise of sun, sea,delicious food and idylliclandscapes. Foreignersspending more than€500,000 in Spanish realestate are not onlyautomatically awardedresidency, but also freemovement within theSchengen zone.

This has promptedcountless Chinese and

Russian buyers to flock toSpain trying to pick-up adiscounted property in

Mallorca, Marbella,Barcelona or Ibiza.

Russians are said toaccount for 9 per cent ofall property purchases,while Britons account for15 per cent and theFrench by as much as 10per cent.

Even though mostSpanish real-estateagents are likely to sayprices will soon start topick up because of the

large number of foreignbuyers, there are stillsome bargains out there,especially when it comesto bank repossessionproperties. For instance,the price of a 231sqmfour-bedroom and three-bathroom property inMarbella was recentlyreduced from €461,735 to€348,500, with a small25sqm apartment therecosting merely €33,000.

It would be a good ideato read the fine printthough when buying aproperty in Spain.

According to Barcelonaagents, buyers investingin residential property arerequired to pay a Spanishtransfer tax of between 8and 10 per cent of theprice tag, depending onwhere the property is, andsome notary and landregistry fees may apply.

Spain’s low property prices attractshome buyers from all over the world

SPAIN’S plans to reduce public spendingand increase government revenue are notrunning as smoothly as originally expected.

Created in October 2012 to improveefficiency in all Spanish institutions, theCommission for the Reform of the SpanishPublic Administration (CORA) took

measures aimed at reducing administrativeburdens, removing administrativeoverlapping between public administrationsand improving the organisation of Spain’spublic sector.

One of the measures seeks to alienate asmany as 15,000 state-owned properties by

2015, but it has not had theexpected results just yetsince only a mere 14 percent of the properties havebeen alienated so far.According to officialsources, only 2,134 havebeen sold.

It goes without saying itis impossible to predictwhether the properties willactually be sold or not, as itdepends on demand.

Public spending is to becut to increase revenue

IN the course of our workinglives, we’ve all come acrossprime examples of people

totally out of their depth butwho get by and are promotedpurely by being able to talk thetalk.

In other words, they excel atmanagement-speak gobbledy-gook, a major source ofirritation and barrier toprocuring new business inBritain according to a recentsurvey. And it’s too often usedby those who are incapable ofmanaging and so hide behindbuzz words and clichés to maskthe fact they haven’t a cluewhat they’re talking about.

The language of business -like that of education andpolitics - seems deliberatelydesigned to confuse. And, ofcourse, if you don’t understand,you can’t constructively criticisebecause someone will - rightlyand smugly - tell you that you

simply don’t ‘get it!’A friend worked for a

company where they’d regularlysay, ‘Let’s take this offline’which completely confused himat first. Turns out this meant‘stop talking about it.’ In fact,what they really meant waseither: “I haven’t the faintestidea what you’re talking aboutso can we talk about this inprivate so I don’t have to look aright idiot in front of others” or,more commonly: “No, I haven’t

done what youasked, but the last thing Iwant is to let on to a room fullof people I screwed up.”

Another friend’s formersecondary school converted toan academy. Its new missionstatement doesn’t mentionboys, girls or students but

‘stakeholders.’Stakeholders

are defined as‘citizens’ of the

school. And citizens,in turn, are members

of the ‘[School’s name]family.’ Heck! Aren’tstakeholders those things youcome across throughout thesummer here in Spain - atbarbecues?

And clichés beloved of our

politicians? How about: Hard-working families. Fairness. One-nation. Transparency. Or: “Wehad a frank exchange of views,and a constructive dialogue onwhich we now have the basis tomove forward, and I am verymuch looking forward to ournext meeting in the light of thisprogress.”

So, ‘let’s think outside thebox,’ ‘run it up and down theflagpole’ and ‘touch base.’Phew! Whatever happened toplain old English?

Oh yes, but back to theoriginal point: maybe no-onereally knows what they’retalking about any more…

TALK THE TALK: ‘Let’s thinkoutside the box.’

This summer get a grilling overthe barbie of gobbledygook

THE PSOE party secretary general PedroSanchez revealed that he will run in theprimaries for the party’s presidentialcandidate.

No-one fell over backwards in surprise atthe revelation as presumably this is whySanchez became Secretary General in thefirst place. His position also gives him theupper hand in deciding when to hold theprimaries.

These were promised for Novemberalthough this is becoming increasinglyunlikely. The proposed Cataluñareferendum could add a touch of colour towhatever happens afterwards and thereare municipal and regional elections in2015 to provide more colour still.

They will also reveal whether Podemos,the populist group headed by much-televised Pablo Iglesias, is the fourth, thirdor - heaven forfend - second most-votedparty.

Better to delay primaries until the partyand Sanchez know whether or not they areon a hiding to nowhere.

Turn again Whittington ANA BOTELLA, Mayor of Madrid, alsomakes no bones about wanting to

repeat as the PP’s 2015 candidate.In the old days she would probably

have got her way on the strength ofbeing the wife of former presidentJose Maria Aznar.

But Aznar, who has revealed amaverick streak ever since he shavedoff his moustache and started workingout, has not hesitated to criticise theparty’s current leadership. Botella isless of a trump card in today’s PP,although if she were popular withMadrileños, she might be in with achance. But she isn’t and she hasn’t.

Following directionsTWO young Spaniards, Rafael Muñozand Angel, are in Eastern Ukraine withthe pro-Russian militia.

They now belong to the VostokBatallion, accused by the Kievgovernment of most of the worstatrocities in the conflict.

Facebook and YouTube show thetwo young men with guns and aSpanish Republican flag bearing the‘No pasaran’ slogan that was therallying call of the dying republicwhich ended on April 1, 1939.

Muñoz and Angel want to spread thetruth and force the world “to stop

looking the other way,” they told aFrench interviewer.

Thanks to social media and rollingnews, the world today can lookanywhere it wants but still filters whatit sees through personal perceptions,preconceptions and misconceptions.Even then, not everyone looks in thedirection they are pointed at andparticularly the one chosen by RafaelMuñoz and Angel.

Voting with their feetFEWER people are signing up for theDiada demonstration in Barcelona onCataluña’s national day, September11.

They plan to fill two streets, forminga giant V shape representing theirdesire to vote in an independencereferendum.

Registrations to participate are 76per cent lower than last year’s Diadawhen demonstrators formed a humanchain from the north to the south ofthe region.

If they are saying something thenthe message is coming through loudand clear.

It’s just a waiting game

ANA BOTELLA: Less of a trump card.
