Is our system too generous to older people? The generational debate in Spain has intensified, mixing reasonable arguments with false claims and misunderstandings. My position: the concern is valid, even though the problem has no simple solution. First, let's put one point aside: it doesn't matter if young people have lived better than their parents. My generation (1981), lives better than the one before it (1950), and I hope my daughter, born in 2023, will have an even better life.

I have been pro-business all my life. My father was a qualified plasterer and then became a small builder. I fully understand the business side. "I'm absolutely pro-European. Asking questions of the military industrial complex and the direction that the compass is going in Europe, it's not the same as anti-European. I'm a committed European and a committed European asks questions.
Maja T. entered the courtroom in Budapest's District 5 on October 8, 2025 in a prisoner transport belt and handcuffs, accompanied by helmeted police officers. One of the officers closed the window to block out the chants of "Free Maja!" that rose from a cluster of demonstrators. Just another day in the trial of the suspected left-wing extremist, who is accused of having attacked and seriously injured several suspected right-wing extremists in Budapest in February 2023.
Pro-Palestinian protesters marched in several cities in Europe on Saturday, voicing cautious hope with a dose of scepticism as a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza entered its second day.

From Sunday, non-EU travellers entering Europe's Schengen open-borders zone will gradually be photographed and fingerprinted at border crossings, as the European Union rolls out its much-delayed automated border checks.

Flanked by farmland and nestled among the deep valleys of central Spain, few in Villamalea, a town of 4,200 people, expected to find their tranquil home splashed across Spanish media this summer. I've never been contacted by so many media outlets in my life, said Jose Nunez Perez, the conservative mayor of Villamalea. With a laugh, he added: It made me question, just what have we done here?
When we talk about achievements in professional sports, we're almost always talking about feats of athletic bravado: an impossible catch, a bicycle kick or a diving save. But there's also a particular corner of sports history where the narrative is driven more by gear than anything else - the deadball era of early 20th century baseball being one especially prominent example.
I terminated my contract with just cause, as is every person's right when they are unable to continue performing their work under the existing circumstances, Gee said in a statement on social media.

Work camping is a lifestyle that combines working and camping. Work campers often trade labor for compensation, which can include a free or discounted campsite, utilities, and sometimes wages. We bought a house in Florida nine years ago and live there for six months in the winter. Our 42-foot Monaco Class A motor coach is our home for the other half of the year while we work camp. Since 2019, we've work camped in New Hampshire. I also do DoorDash in both places.

­Catherine Connolly and Heather Humphreys each spent around €18,000 on Meta ads Fianna Fáil spent more than €14,000 on social media advertising for Jim Gavin's presidential campaign before he withdrew from the race last Sunday.
