**President Pedro Sánchez announced on Monday that he will continue to lead the Spanish government, after five days of speculation about his future.** Last week, Sánchez announced that he would cancel all his official engagements after a court opened an initial investigation into his wife, Begoña Gómez, over accusations of influence peddling. Sánchez, who has been in power since 2018, called the accusations **a harassment campaign orchestrated by right-wing media**. “My wife and I know that this smear campaign will not stop, we have been suffering from it for 10 years,” Sánchez said. “We can handle it,” he added. His decision last week to take time away from office to reflect on whether he would continue to lead the government came as a surprise even to people in his own Partido Socialista Obrero Español (PSOE). The accusations against Begoña Gómez were presented by the organization Manos Limpias, led by a man linked to the extreme right named Miguel Bernad. ### The complaint ### The complaint admitted by a court in Madrid against Begoña Gómez states that "taking advantage of her relationship with the president of the government, she would have recommended or endorsed by letter of recommendation with her signature to businessmen who bid for public tenders." The document also points out that one of the companies that obtained public funds organized years later a master's degree in a university program that she directs and that another of them, the airline Air Europa, agreed to allocate funds for an innovation center in Africa that was also charge of Sánchez's wife. When the complaint was made known, the president assured that his wife will defend herself in court against "facts as apparently scandalous as they are inconsistent." On Thursday, the Madrid prosecutor's office **asked that the investigation be archived due to lack of evidence**. Manos Limpias also acknowledged that the allegations could be incorrect because they were based on online newspaper articles, one of which has already been proven false. Manos Limpias has gained notoriety by filing judicial complaints about alleged **cases of political corruption that have frequently ended up being archived**. In his speech on Monday, which lasted about 10 minutes, Sánchez thanked the messages of support he received, which, he said, weighed on his decision to continue in the government. He also ruled out that his five-day “reflection” period was a strategy. He noted that he decided to stop out of “conviction”, in order to change the course of politics in Spain. And he said: “It's about deciding what kind of society we want to be. Our country needs this reflection. We have been letting mud contaminate our public life for too long.” Sánchez emphasized that his decision "is not a full-stop." "It's a paragraph, I guarantee it." If Sánchez had resigned, he would have become the first president to leave office in the middle of a term since 1981, when Adolfo Suárez did so.

**The president of the Spanish government, Pedro Sánchez, announced this Wednesday the suspension of his public activities to consider his possible resignation from office after a Madrid court accepted a complaint against his wife, Begoña Gómez, for a possible traffic crime. of influences.** In an open letter to citizens, Sánchez stated: “I need to stop and reflect. "I urgently need to answer the question of whether it is worth it, whether I should continue leading the Government or give up this honor." The leader of the Spanish Socialist Workers Party (PSOE) attributes the complaint against his wife to “**an operation of harassment and demolition**” of the “right and extreme right” with the aim of making him “faint politically and personally by attacking” his wife. And he points to his opposition rivals on the right of the political arc, the leader of the conservative Partido Popular, Alberto Núñez-Feijoo; and the far-right Vox, Santiago Abascal, as “necessary collaborators” of a **campaign that seeks to “dehumanize and delegitimize the political adversary** through complaints that are as scandalous as they are false.” Sánchez assured in the letter that she published on her X social network account that she "lives helplessly with the mud that is spread over her day in and day out" and announced that she will appear **next Monday** to announce her decision regarding her continuity in the post. ### The content of the complaint ### The complaint admitted by the Investigative Court Number 41 of Madrid against Begoña Gómez states that, "taking advantage" of her relationship with the President of the Government, she would have recommended or endorsed by letter of recommendation with her signature to businessmen who bid for public tenders." . The letter also points out that one of the companies that obtained public funds organized years later a master's degree in a university program that she directs and that another of them, **the airline Air Europa**, agreed to allocate funds for an innovation center in Africa that was also at the same time. charge of Sánchez's wife. The Spanish president assured that his wife will defend herself in court against “**facts that are as apparently scandalous as they are inconsistent.**” The complaint was filed by the Colectivo de Funcionarios Públicos Manos Limpias, an organization often involved in controversy because its founder is a former far-right militant and which has gained notoriety by filing judicial complaints about alleged cases of political corruption that have frequently finished archived. In the case of Begoña Gómez, **the investigating judge Juan Carlos Peinado has so far limited himself to ordering the opening of proceedings and summoning as witnesses the directors of the media that have disseminated the journalistic publications on which the complaint is based**, some with an editorial line very critical of the Pedro Sánchez government. Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of the Partido Popular, the main opposition force, accused Sánchez of “dereliction of duties” for announcing that he is taking a few days until Monday to decide whether to continue in office. "If you have nothing to fear, why don't you explain?" Feijóo asked him, who also reproached him for what he considered an attempt to "victimize" himself. ### The support of the independentists ### Hours before Sánchez's letter was made public, the PP had demanded explanations from him in Parliament, to which the president of the government responded by saying that "on a day like today and after the news that I have learned, despite everything I continue believing in the justice of my country". Spanish media reported that Sánchez had left Parliament this Wednesday heading to his Madrid residence **visibly upset**. Sánchez's decision to suspend his public events comes at a tense time for the PSOE, ahead of the European Parliament elections in June and elections in the Catalonia region next month. Sánchez was precisely due to participate this Thursday in the start of the socialists' campaign in Barcelona ahead of the Catalan elections on May 12. The Spanish president managed to be sworn back into office a few months ago with the support of two Catalan separatist parties, which agreed to give him their votes in exchange for an amnesty for those accused and convicted of the independence process in Catalonia that culminated in a referendum of independence in October 2017. Without the support of Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (ERC) and Junts per Catalunya (JxCat), he would not have been able to remain in power. Opposition parties are outraged by the amnesty, which also means that former Catalan president Carles Puigdemont can run in the May 12 elections, seven years after he escaped from justice by moving to Belgium. Puigdemont still faces a terrorism case, but believes the amnesty will allow him to return to Spain. *Google Translate*

### Karim Bouyakhrichan, the most wanted man in the Netherlands, was arrested in January by the National Police and was provisionally released. ### Karim Bouyakhrichan, leader of one of the families of the dangerous [Mocro Maffia](https://www.elespanol.com/espana/20240418/policia-custodio-ano-amalia-holanda-madrid-protegerla-mocro-maffia/848415647_0.html) of Dutch origin, the man most wanted by the Dutch authorities, has escaped from Justice and has fled from Spain. Arrested last January in one of the most important operations of the National Police, he was provisionally released, and after an extradition order and a court summons, he has not appeared in court. The National Court has already issued an international search and arrest warrant. His arrest occurred, specifically, on **January 24**, in an operation that had been in progress for five years. The agents, after five years of a long investigation that dismantled the structure of their clan, based on the **Costa del Sol**. The magnitude of that operation lies in the fact that up to 172 real estate properties were intervened for an approximate value of 50 million euros with which This organization allegedly laundered its money in Marbella and its surroundings. [Bouyakhrichan](https://www.elespanol.com/espana/20240125/policia-detiene-karim-bouyakrichan-lider-buscado-peligroso-mocro-mafia/827667332_0.html) was arrested and imprisoned by order of the head of the Investigative Court No. 4 of Marbella for his participation in this criminal network. Before that judicial instance, his lawyer requested provisional release, which was opposed by the Anti-Drug Prosecutor's Office. The lawyer of the Dutch mafia leader alleged roots in the Bouyakhrichan peninsula. The Provincial Court of Malaga, despite recognizing the risk of escape, decided to release him. On February 22, a month after the UDEF operation that led to his arrest, he was released provisionally after paying bail of 50,000 euros and under the conditions of surrendering his passport and appearing every 15 days before the nearest court. This is confirmed to EL ESPAÑOL by police sources familiar with this surprising and controversial release. 50,000 euros, sources specializing in the matter tell EL ESPAÑOL, **is pocket change for a guy like Bouyakhrichan**. At the same time that this was happening in Marbella, the Dutch authorities, who had celebrated the arrest of this dangerous individual like no other, were submitting the pertinent extradition order through the National Court so that he could be delivered to them so that they could try him for the charges. crimes that he had pending in his country. It was Ismael Moreno, the head of the Central Court of Instruction No. 2 of the National Court, who initiated the process. When he took it, he encountered opposition from the Provincial Court of Malaga, because the macro-operation in which he had been arrested meant that he had pending cases in Spain, so it could not yet be carried out. The Netherlands, police sources point out, insisted on the risk of flight and the danger of leaving such an individual free. They then filed an extension of the extradition order before the **National Court**, and the dangerous boss was summoned to be notified of his extradition. He never appeared in court and has not been heard from since: he has fled. Now, as Cadena Ser has advanced and this newspaper has confirmed, the head of the Court of Instruction No. 2 of the National Court, Ismael Moreno, has issued a search order against him. ### Arrested in January ### His arrest was the result of the most important investigation so far against the most dangerous criminal organization in the Netherlands. **Karim Bouyakhrichan**'s organization was dedicated to large-scale international trafficking of narcotic substances, specifically the introduction of large quantities of cocaine into our country as well as money laundering. To do this, they used a solid personal, maritime and commercial infrastructure with a presence mainly in Malaga, Barcelona, ​​Melilla or Marbella as well as abroad. According to the investigators from the UDEF (Economic and Fiscal Crime Unit) who led the operation, in January the most wanted and dangerous criminal of the Dutch mafia was captured. Historical drug trafficker from the Costa del Sol, he has been involved in numerous police investigations and for years acted as a connection point in Spain with various international criminal organizations involved in international cocaine trafficking. This allowed him to accumulate a large amount of income and properties that now, thanks to investigators, have been able to be intervened during the operation. In total, **75,000 euros in cash, jewelry worth approximately 10,000 euros**, as well as two firearms were seized. 172 real estate properties worth approximately 50 million euros were also blocked, as well as nearly three million euros in the balances of the 148 bank accounts. This huge number of homes were acquired by his organization to hide in them the money they were amassing over the years. During the investigation, it was possible to verify the existence of a complex company based in Morocco, the Dominican Republic, the Netherlands, the United Arab Emirates and Spain. The criminal organization used intermediary merchants, as well as the "Hawalla" methodology and the use of front men to launder significant amounts of money with which they subsequently acquired movable and immovable property. Over the last few years, three large organizations have dominated the world of organized crime in Europe: the Albanian mafia, the Balkan cartel and the Mocro Maffia, a dangerous clan whose members are mostly second-generation Moroccans who have frightened the Netherlands and spread their tentacles across the continent. Karim Bouyakhrichan, one of the Mocro Maffia bosses, was the most wanted and dangerous criminal of all, according to UDEF investigators. Bouyakhrichan heads one of the two main families of the Mocro Maffia. For years it has confronted the other large Dutch group, the one led by **Ridouan Taghi**, who had threatened [Princess Amalia of the Netherlands](https://www.elespanol.com/espana/20240418/policia-custodio-ano-amalia-holanda-madrid-protegerla-mocro-maffia/848415647_0.html), the president of the country and who even killed an investigative journalist who had dared to delve into the criminal activities of these organizations. It was that rival family that killed his brother Samir in 2014, in Benahavís (Málaga), starting an endless sequence of settling scores on the Costa del Sol. *Google Translate*

### A 49-year-old man has been arrested. Imanol Pradales leaves the hospital and attends the debate on Basque television with the other six candidates for 'lehendakari' ### A person has attacked the PNV lehendakari candidate, Imanol Pradales, with pepper spray. The attack took place after seven thirty in the afternoon this Tuesday, when Pradales was leaving the rally he had given in the Biscayan town of Barakaldo to go to the ETB headquarters. Pradales has been treated at the Cruces hospital and is currently heading to Basque public television, where he plans to participate starting at 10:15 p.m. tonight in the electoral debate with the rest of the candidates for the Lehendakaritza. The attack on Pradales was recounted at the beginning of his speech by the president of the PNV EBB, Andoni Ortuzar, at that same electoral event. As he explained, when the lehendakari candidate "was leaving to prepare for the ETB debate, a person approached him and sprayed him with pepper spray and they had to take him to Cruces to clean his eyes." The Ertzaintza, minutes later, confirmed that the attack was carried out by a 49-year-old man who is in custody. The individual threw pepper spray at Pradales when he was going to get into the car that was going to take him to the Basque television headquarters in Bilbao, next to the San Mamés football field. A companion of Pradales has also been affected by the attack and has required medical assistance. Although Ortuzar has called to "not worry" about Pradales' condition, he has shared his concern about these events with the supporters present at the rally. "We don't know what it is, but in any case, I think that this type of behavior, this type of events, has to lead us as a society to reflect on whether all of this that we are experiencing, of stretching, of tension, of creating division , to create tension, is the way for a society like the Basque one. Of course, in the opinion of the PNV, no, that is not our way," he stated. The PP candidate for Lehendakaritza, Javier de Andrés, has expressed his "most resounding and energetic condemnation" of the attack suffered by his electoral rival. "The condition of Imanol Pradales is pending after the pepper spray attack of which he was a victim this afternoon. I trust that he will be perfectly well as soon as possible. My most resounding and energetic condemnation," Javier de Andrés wrote on social networks. The President of the Government has expressed himself in the same sense. "I want to convey all my support and solidarity to Imanol Pradales. In democracy there is no room for aggression. Never. To anyone. I wish him to recover soon so that I can continue with the final stretch of the electoral campaign," Pedro Sánchez wrote in a message distributed on social networks.

ADHD Ignacio • 6 months ago • 87%

Hello. I was diagnosed with ADHD one year ago already (I was 35 back then), but since then I'm only with medical treatment, in other words, with medication. This medication can keep my ADHD symptoms under control, at a degree. But it does absolutely nothing against my executive dysfunction and my focus issues, and I don't have proper tools to handle my ADHD. On a Discord server someone told me to look for therapists that do online sessions from third world countries for ADHD people, but I don't know where to look for them, and I don't know whether they're actual therapists or random scammers either. I live in Spain (pointing that out in case you try to push your US narrative), and a psychologists charges between 40 € and 60 € per session, being one session per week. And I can't afford spending 160 €/240 € per month when I don't even have a job. Does anyone can give me some advice or recommendations, or webpages where I can look for someone?

Well, my issue is simple to explain, but I tried everything to solve it without success. I like recording gameplays, just for fun. The game I currently make recordings for is not resource heavy (it's Doom 2 through GZDoom). I'm using Lubuntu 22.04. So, here is the command I've just used: `ffmpeg -f x11grab -draw_mouse 0 -framerate 30 -probesize 42M -video_size 1920x1080 -i :0 -f pulse -i default -c:v libvpx-vp9 -r 30 -g 90 -quality realtime -frame-parallel 1 -qmin 4 -qmax 48 -b:v 4500k -c:a libvorbis prueba.mkv` The issue is, if I record without including the audio, then the video plays smoothly after being recorded. But if I record including the audio, no matter what parameters, codecs, bitrate or anything I use, then the video is barely watchable, with lots of choppiness, and even with delay between audio and video, apparently. SimpleScreenRecorder works fine, but sometimes there are few frames dropped and I don't like it much. OBS is very heavy for my hardware (Mac Mini 2016, Intel Core i5 1.4 GHz 4260U, Intel HD Graphics 4000, 4 GB RAM). I also tried VAAPI, with same results as above. And the thing is that I remember recording some years ago, with no issues at all. I don't know what to do. Any tip or solution?

I like recording my gameplays as a hobby, especially since I watched some youtubers recording theirs. But I have some issues on Lubuntu: * OBS is too heavy for my hardware, which is a Mac Mini 2016. Everytime I tried to do some recordings, video appeared heavily stuttered. * Ffmpeg is very lightweight, and I was experimenting with it, but for some reason video appears faster and ahead from audio, out of sync. * SSR (SimpleScreenRecorder) is the best option for me. But sometimes there are dropped frames. Not too many, although enough to be noticeable at some times. Now, my issue with SSR is that I want to use the OpenGL option to see how good or bad it is. The problem is that there is no information on internet except for Steam. And when I want to execute the command `ssr-glinject [program]`, a segmentation fault appears. What can I do?

Hello, fellow ADHDers. I'm in the verge of despair and irreversible frustration. Here is my situation. I'm trying to prepare to pass a competitive service exam in Spain, Europe. I'm from Spain, by the way. So, because it's a competitive service exam, there is always a ratio of 30 or 40 people per job offer. So, if there are 1.000 job offers and 40.000 people to pass that exam, I need to be among those 1000 best marks. Anyway, because of that, I need to study like 10 hours per day, 6 days per week. I put one day to rest because I don't like to be burnt out. But what happens? It happens that I'm only able to study 2 hours per day, or barely 3 during my best days. And the rest of the day, I procrastinate or do useless stuff, even when I want to study with all my strength. I tried caffeine two weeks ago, and until today, it worked for 2 or 3 days, allowing me to study during those hours. But other days, maybe I was able to study for 4 hours, or even 5. So, if you struggled like me and you were able to succeed, how did you do that? How can I force myself to study for 10 hours per day like normal people do with no issues? PS: I'm not allowed to take any ADHD stimulants. No Concerta, no Elvanse... I only take atomoxetine, since March 2023.

The death this Wednesday of the screenwriter Eduardo Ladrón de Guevara, at the age of 80, has coincided with the farewell of the iconic series of which he was co-creator, Cuéntame cómo pasó. An ending that seems scripted and that many have wanted to take advantage of to highlight the contribution of Ladrón de Guevara (Madrid 1943-2023) to comedy in cathodic fiction. "We say goodbye to Eduardo Ladrón de Guevara (Madrid 1943-2023), who died today. He was one of the creators of Cuéntame, a series that ends its broadcast tonight. We appreciate his talent and his work in a long career as a [#screenwriter](https://kbin.social/tag/screenwriter). Rest in peace ", wrote the ALMA screenwriters union, in a comment on X. The screenwriter Ignacio del Moral, a friend and colleague of his since they met in Eva y Adán, agencia matrimonial, has described him as "a fun, cultured, committed, joking and grumpy guy." As it could not be less, the official Cuéntame account has joined the tributes: "Our history could not have been written without him." Ladrón de Guevara was, along with Patrick Buckley and Miguel Bernardeau, one of the creators of Cuéntame cómo pasó, a series in which he developed the format, in addition to writing and coordinating a large part of its scripts for 17 seasons. **From journalism to television** He began his professional career as a journalist in newspapers such as Informaciones y Pueblo – an editorial that would inspire Toni Alcántara's work in the series –, in addition to collaborating with agencies such as Fax-Press and Colpisa. He abandoned journalism to dedicate himself to writing plays and television fiction. Before Cuéntame, he worked on other legendary series such as Farmacia de Guardia or Los ladrones van a la oficina and others such as Tío Willy, Eva y Adán, agencia matrimonial, Querido maestro, Siete días de amor, Manolito Gafotas or Gente encantadora. As a screenwriter he was awarded various national and international awards: New York Festival, Ondas, Fotogramas, Academia de las Artes y las Ciencias de Televisión, the Premio Nacional de Televisión in its first edition. He was nominated for an Emmy in 2003 as co-creator of Cuéntame. Although his best-known work was as a screenwriter, he wrote more than twenty plays and won awards such as the Calderón de la Barca, Borne, Rojas Zorrilla and Ciudad de San Sebastián, and novels, such as El champán frío y la venganza caliente.

The Central Sindical Independiente y de Funcionarios (CSIF) considers "insufficient" the 0.5% increase in the salaries of public employees that will be effective in the payroll for the month of October. This increase is applied as a variable linked to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) within the Framework Agreement for a 21st Century Administration signed by CCOO and UGT with the Government of Spain in October of last year. After knowing the CPI data, which in Castilla-La Mancha increased by 0.5% in August to stand at 2.9%, CSIF considers that salaries continue to be well below inflation indicators, as reported by the center union in a press release. Not in vain, the aforementioned agreement established an increase of 6% for three years plus 1.5% in variables until 2024. "Unfortunately, the average CPI in 2022 was 8.4% and the current forecast is for it to be in 2023 at 3.9%. In the best of cases, public employees are losing five points of purchasing power in just two years," CSIF has criticized. The president of CSIF Castilla-La Mancha, Julio Retamosa, has highlighted that "any increase is always positive, but in this case it is not only insufficient, but it represents a real injustice for public employees." "With the public workers they settled for the first offer that the Government put on the table. CSIF did not sign that agreement, it was unthinkable. CCOO and UGT overturned the negotiation that we had managed to start with the massive demonstration that we carried out in Madrid "he lamented. For all these reasons, CSIF has urged the Government to sit down again with the union organizations present at the General Table of Public Function to renegotiate an agreement that alleviates the loss of purchasing power, which in Castilla-La Mancha has exceeded 20% since 2010, "to which the Cospedal Tax would have to be added". "Prices continue to rise, with going back to school more expensive in recent years, with the shopping basket that has risen more than 10%, with fuel prices that continue to rise, and underlying inflation above 6%. We are witnessing widespread impoverishment," concluded Retamosa. *Translated using Google Translate*.

Comisiones Obreras (CCOO) has reported to the Labor Inspection the non-payments carried out by the company 'Seguridad Límite 24 Horas'. Their security guards at the visitor center of the Cabañeros National Park, in Horcajo de los Montes, have not been paid for two months, which has led the union to report the situation to this autonomous body of the Government of Spain. As they have stated, currently the workforce has not received the payroll for July and August and, according to the union, the company "has no intention of settling the salary debts that it already accumulates or of paying the remaining monthly payments until another company, Seguridad Integral Secoex SA, will take over the contract in the middle of next October”. Initially, they contacted those responsible for these workers, since they continue to provide service, just as Seguridad Límite 24 Horas continues to promptly collect monthly payments from National Parks. However, since this company learned that their contract was not going to be renewed, they stopped paying payroll, seeking to be taken over by the new company, as reported by the Secretary of Organization of CCOO-Hábitat Castilla La Mancha, Alejandro Jiménez. The union also points out that the lack of income is not the only problem of these security guards, but that "in order to collect the salaries of those who are creditors, they have to file lawsuits against the current company, against which He is going to succeed her in the contract and even in front of the client himself [National Parks]; with the time, inconvenience and additional expenses that this entails.” **CCOO denounces a "sad situation" in the private security sector** The company Seguridad Límite 24 Horas, which in the Community of Madrid has a staff of 30 people, provides its security services in three Public Administration centers: the General Secretariat of Treasury and International Financing, the Royal Conservatory of Music and the Bullfighting Affairs Center. Apparently, as explained by CCOO in a statement, the company had not paid regularly for some time. Added to this is that the company does not have a branch in Madrid, with its main headquarters in Albacete, which has led many of its workers to complain about not having a structure in the region. Likewise, the union has contacted different clients to make the situation known, waiting for them to intervene and take measures to expedite the collection of pending payrolls. In this sense, the head of CCOO Security Sector of Habitat Madrid, Luis Bernal Ruiz, assures that "this situation only ratifies the sad situation that the private security sector is going through." A situation that, as he explains, occurs "due to the continuous allocation of clients to security companies, especially in the public administration, under a criterion largely based on price and to companies with the cheapest economic proposal." For this reason, CCOO has asked clients of security companies, as well as administrations and public organizations, "not to trust 'cheap' companies to provide these services." Explaining “that they weigh the price is logical”, but not that they put it “before the criteria of solvency and responsibility”. Regarding this, to conclude, they defend that "there are very serious and consolidated companies in this sector that can offer the service completely correctly."cio and to companies with the cheapest economic proposal." *Translated using Google Translate*.

Some weeks ago, I decided to block lemmy.world from my profile, because I only saw memes and shitposts from that instance, and I found easier to block the whole instance instead of blocking single communities. But I keep seeing communities from that instance when I'm browsing all. Why is that?

The PSOE gets the first step to keep the Moncloa. The socialist Francina Armengol has been elected this Thursday president of the Congress of Deputies thanks to the agreement with the progressive forces and an in extremis pact with Esquerra Republicana and Junts. An absolute majority with 178 votes in favor that make the Balearic Islands president of the Lower House and will allow the Socialists and Sumar to gain control of the Table. Armengol has thus prevailed over the candidate proposed by the Popular Party, Cuca Gamarra, in a vote that directs the negotiation for the investiture of Pedro Sánchez as president of the Government, which once again depends on the will of Carles Puigdemont's. Gamarra has only managed to add the support of the Canary Islands Coalition and the Union of the Navarro People to the PP votes; Vox has decided to vote for its own candidate after verifying that those of Alberto Núñez Feijóo will not give them a position on the Congress Table. Both Junts and ERC assure that this agreement is limited solely to the Mesa, but it is undoubtedly a first gesture that makes it easier for negotiations to begin to form a new coalition government. A PP victory this Thursday, all sources agree, would almost certainly have led to a repeat election. Catalan separatists have kept this vote in suspense until the last minute. It was only cleared up during the Junts per Catalunya management meeting on the morning of this same Thursday. According to negotiating sources, the General Secretary of Junts, Jordi Turull, would have communicated to his party during that conclave some details of the agreement reached. According to Junts sources, among these agreements is the use of Catalan in Congress -to which Armengol would explicitly refer in today's speech after being elected-, the reopening of the investigation commission on the so-called 'State sewers' and the creation of a committee of investigation into the attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils on 17-A. The negotiation has not finished closing until this morning, with contacts that took place until the early hours of this Wednesday and crossed documents between the socialist negotiators and Junts, in addition to ERC. The Republicans have also given the green light to the last document, which contained the same commitments as with Junts. The Republicans have also negotiated one last point, under the heading of the "dejudicialization" of the "political conflict" in Catalonia through the "necessary legal channels", which has ended up receiving the yes of the PSOE. ERC understands that this is a commitment that the Mesa will not block the processing of an amnesty law in case it is proposed. As ERC has detailed, the possibility of using languages ​​other than Spanish will materialize in an organic law, which guarantees the use of Catalan in all State instances, including justice, and which also culminates the Government's commitments on the promotion of languages ​​in Europe. Junts's position has been of maximum hardness until practically the end of the negotiation. Less than 24 hours after the vote, Junts had not made a decision on what he would do and the former president sent a message through X (formerly Twitter) in which he claimed "verifiable facts" to give his votes. Puigdemont was referring to public commitments, which for the moment the PSOE had circumvented. The negotiation, however, intensified hours later, when the negotiators accepted some of the independence demands to gain support for Armengol. The agreed points are three demands that the Catalan parties had insisted on throughout the last legislature. The use of Catalan and languages ​​other than Spanish in Congress was one of the issues in which ERC and Junts considered that they could push the PSOE further, after Sumar had launched this proposal in recent weeks. It was more difficult to get investigative commissions into the use of the Pegasus program to spy on independentistas or the 17A attack, two matters on which the Socialists had never considered that a parliamentary commission should be opened. **The definitive document** But the negotiation with Junts has been definitively unblocked early this Thursday with the registration of a key document: the Foreign Minister, José Manuel Albares, has submitted a written request for Catalan, Basque and Galician to be languages co-officials of the European Union. The registration occurred at 8:18 a.m. this Thursday. Albares has sent the petition to the European Council, in which the representatives of the Governments of the Member States meet to discuss and agree on modifications to the Treaties of the Union. The petition, if approved, will mean that Catalan, Galician and Basque will be co-official languages ​​of the European Union: they will be able to be used in the European Parliament, political representatives will be able to address community institutions in that language and official documents will be also translated into those languages. **PSOE and Sumar guarantee a progressive majority in the Table** After obtaining the presidency, the PSOE and Sumar have guaranteed a progressive majority in the whole of the Table. This body is key to deciding highly relevant issues regarding the functioning of the Chamber during the legislature, such as who can or cannot form a parliamentary group when it is on the verge of what the regulation establishes, where the deputies sit, the hiring of the groups or the times of intervention in plenary. Thanks to a pact between the eventual government partners, the PSOE is left with three positions on the Congress Table (the presidency, a vice-presidency and a secretary) and Sumar with two (a vice-presidency and a secretary). This allows the progressive bloc to control five of the nine positions in this body. Alfonso Gómez de Celis will repeat as first vice-president and Esther Gil, deputy of the coalition led by Yolanda Díaz, will have another vice-presidency. Gerardo Pisarello will repeat as secretary as part of Sumar's quota and Isaura Leal will be the secretary on behalf of the PSOE. The Popular Party has taken over the rest of the posts. José Antonio Bermúdez de Castro and Marta González will have a vice-presidency each and Guillermo Mariscal and Carmen Navarro will be secretaries of the table. The PP had enough votes to guarantee those four positions on its own, although it could have given a seat to Vox as a gesture in view of a possible investiture vote for Alberto Núñez Feijóo. The popular have ruled out this movement, which has annoyed the far-right formation. Santiago Abascal's party, as a gesture of protest, has decided to vote for its own candidate for the presidency of Congress and not for Cuca Gamarra after verifying that they would not have a place on the Table. *Translation made with Google Translate.*

Dear Friends and Supporters, Today, I'm tasked with sharing a disappointing update. Despite our earnest efforts, we were unsuccessful in securing a publisher for the reboot of Twinsen's Little Big Adventure. Why did this happen? Allow me to distill the key reasons: * Genre Constraints: The market for standalone action-adventure games presents substantial challenges. With fierce competition and a lack of community-oriented features, publishers tend to shy away from this genre. * IP Recognition: Despite a passionate, albeit small, community of fans, Twinsen's Little Big Adventure isn't globally recognized, which added to the hesitations of potential publishers. * Cost and Scale: While indie game studios can often deliver remarkable games with lean teams (as we've seen with Death’s Door and Tunic), our vision for this project involved a team of 15 to 20 people, echoing the original game's size. This considerable investment, juxtaposed with the risk inherent to the genre and IP, was a factor in the decision. What's the path forward? With a heavy heart, we've halted our work on the reboot and, for the moment, regard the project as canceled. This allows us to channel our focus and energy into the remastered version of Twinsen's Little Big Adventure (TLBA Remastered). We will explore whether we can reincorporate the reboot's ideas into the remaster, but that's a conversation for another time. What does this mean for our team? Regrettably, we are reducing our team size. Letting dedicated members go is a tough and painful part of this process, but it's a decision driven by our current circumstances. So, what's the next step? We're exploring two main avenues for TLBA Remastered: finding a suitable publisher or self-publishing. The rationale for seeking a publisher for the remaster aligns with that of the reboot, but the substantially lower cost offers a compelling difference. We will know more in the coming weeks. For the self-publishing route, we will need additional funds (Patreon?) and are considering collaboration with another studio. You may wonder if these challenges have dampened our spirits or diminished our motivation. I assure you, it's quite the opposite! Our confidence is buoyed by the phenomenal feedback from our recent playtest. With 4000 participants and 2000 detailed feedback forms, we're immensely grateful. A remarkable 33% of you rated the experience a 9 or 10/10, and 80% scored us a 7 or higher. We're excited to improve and grow from this constructive feedback. The future of Twinsen hangs in the balance over the next few weeks. Rest assured, we are wholly committed to turning the tide. Thank you for your understanding and unwavering support.
