Dear readers,
It’s been a bad week for the Popular Party (PP), to say the least. On Thursday,
the main trial in the sprawling Gürtel kickbacks-for-contracts case
came to a close, and the court found evidence that the governing party
benefited from the scheme.
A
day later, the main opposition Socialists (PSOE) filed a no-confidence
motion against Mariano Rajoy, in an unprecedented move that the prime
minister is casting as detrimental to Spain at a time when Madrid is
grappling with the Catalan independence crisis.
Little
has happened on that front: the new Catalan premier’s cabinet picks
include jailed and self-exiled politicians, and Madrid is refusing to
publish their names in the official gazette, effectively preventing them
from taking office. In the meantime, direct rule continues until
further notice.
Elsewhere
in the world, EL PAÍS spoke with a Chilean victim of clerical abuse who
spent a week at Pope Francis’ residence, and suggested that we may be
witnessing a turning point in the Roman Catholic Church’s attitude
towards sex abuse.
Other
featured stories this week include an in-depth look at the business of
digital manipulation in Spain, the impact of Brexit on exports, and
animal abuse at the popular El Rocío pilgrimage in Andalusia.
We hope you enjoy this selection of articles from the EL PAÍS English Edition. Thanks for reading.
