Fede Sturzenegger stated that the fiscal cost corresponded to public spending and not to the taxes that financed it. He asserted that if the Government reduced spending, it would need to collect less and then it could be debated which taxes to lower. He defended the RIGI because, he said, it had a significant impact on production, and he referred to Mirrlees' optimal taxation theory to argue that it was beneficial to reduce taxes where elasticity was greater. Sturzenegger described part of public spending as useless and corrupt and claimed that reducing it would allow for a reallocation of resources towards production. He also anticipated that President Javier Milei would push for further spending cuts and new tax reductions. #Economía #Impuestos #GastoPúblico (translated)

SPAIN: DOES SÁNCHEZ DIVIDE SPANISH PEOPLE? FACTS AND OPINIONS THE CONTEXT: ELECTIONS IN A TENSE CLIMATE On October 5, Pedro Sánchez dissolved the Cortes and scheduled general elections for November 29. The triggering event was the failure, the previous week, of two housing decrees, rejected by the PP, Vox, and Junts. Most polls, except for the CIS, give the majority to the right. One question runs through the debate: is the head of the Government seeking to fracture the country to stay in power? Serious work must separate what is established from what is interpretation. WHAT IS DOCUMENTED ● In his statement, Sánchez called to "bend the elites" and accused Junts of "treason." ● He framed the election this way: join an "ultra-right wave" or continue being a bastion of openness and social justice. ● He also acknowledged mistakes and unfulfilled promises, according to El Español. ● The same media reports that his environment pushed him to capitalize on discontent over housing and the political cost of the PP's vote alongside Vox and Junts. ● Regarding Ceuta, The Conversation describes a crisis that has fueled protests throughout the country and a growing "cultural war." ● Vox describes the arrivals as "invasion," showing that polarization does not come solely from one side. WHAT IS INTERPRETATION Several analyses read the speech as a first campaign rally, built on a "me or chaos" narrative and the fear of a PP-Vox Government. It is a plausible political reading, but it remains a reading. The PSOE also rejects it, attributing the blockage to an opposition that it views as lacking a sense of state. Nothing in reliable sources proves a deliberate intent to divide the people. A strategy of mobilization based on confrontation is observed, which is not the same thing. THE ROYAL FAMILY: SOURCES TO HANDLE WITH CAUTION This is the most fragile section. Opinion pieces, including one from The Objective, describe a very tense relationship between Zarzuela and Moncloa, with controversies surrounding a visit by the King to Ceuta and statements by ministers. These texts rely heavily on anonymous sources and media close to the right. They do not demonstrate a strategy by Sánchez against the Crown. A verifiable fact: Zarzuela confirms that the King was informed of the decision by the Prime Minister before the announcement and that the dissolution decree was sanctioned remotely. THE TWO OPPOSITIONS AND THEIR OWN NARRATIVES The PP led by Feijóo bets on choosing between "decadence or change." Abascal, for his part, calls for voting in person instead of by mail and says he does not trust anything that Sánchez does. Each side contributes its part to the tension: all construct a narrative in which the opponent threatens the country. WHAT TO REMEMBER Polarization is real and shared. Saying that Sánchez uses it is defensible. Claiming that he wants to divide the people is an opinion. Citizens will judge on November 29, after comparing balances, promises, and accusations.

They added that the album would be available in a regular edition for approximately 22 dollars and a limited edition for 37 dollars, which would include stickers and an acrylic stand. #Ado #JPop #Vocaloid (translated)

I'll give you an example of how the law does apply to memes, based on the explanation of @LuisaAlcalde. Does it sound silly? Yes, but that's why they left it open to interpretation and with prosecution by office. It was always in their hands to add a "this does not include parody." https://t.co/SXX1zyo8pX #memes #ley #parodia (translated)

Then - Shelly traveled with her family and her ex two weeks ago. But she did not communicate it to the company or to Pundao. - The fans find out because they see her with a guy, they notice that she and the guy are posting the same or similar photos. - Pundao has been saying live for days that Shelly disappears for hours and does not respond to messages. - The company issues a statement, suspends Shelly, discontinues all work activities of Shelly with Pundao (basically the termination of the ship). - The planned series will depend on what the company and the two involved decide. - Shelly releases a statement on her part, clarifying that she is indeed dating Pundao (it was already known since they went to Brazil), stating that Pundao is hurt and disappointed with her, and also says that she did not communicate it to either her partner or the company. (The interpretations that others may have remain, if the issue led to her suspension, it is because there is a labor clause in her contract and probably the screw-up goes beyond having traveled with her ex, her Pundao is hurt, meaning something else also happened. If it’s infidelity it could be, she traveled with her ex without telling her girlfriend, period.) #DramaFamosos #Relaciones #Chismes (translated)

Cándido Conde-Pumpido, presidente del Tribunal Constitucional, propone al Supremo que conceda amnistía por malversación en el 'procés' de forma preferente y urgente, argumentando que la interpretación previa de la ley fue impredecible y vulneró derechos fundamentales. #amnistía #malversación #procés

"la interpretación de la ley auspiciada por la Sala [en referencia a la Sala Segunda del Tribunal Supremo] conduce a una drástica contracción de las posibilidades de aplicación de la amnistía a los delitos de malversación de caudales públicos cometidos para sufragar las consultas y el proceso independentista en Cataluña, manifiestamente contraria al espíritu y finalidad de la ley que se interpreta"El presidente del Tribunal Constitucional, Cándido Conde-Pumpido, considera que la interpretación que realizó el Tribunal Supremo cuando rechazó amnistiar el delito de malversación de caudales públicos del 1-O es "manifiestamente contraria al espíritu y finalidad de la ley que se interpreta". #Amnistía #LeyDeAmnistía #TribunalConstitucional
