  2. In little more than a month and a half (in 50 days to be exact), the heir to the Duchy of Alba, Fernando Fitz-James Stuart and Sofia Palazuelo will marry. This is all we know There are 50 days left for the expected wedding between Sofía Palazuelo and Fernando Fitz-James Stuart Solís. A link that will not only be worth the title of Duchess Consort of Huéscar (with Greatness of Spain) but will make it the future Duchess of Alba. A commitment to the national nobility and to the aristocratic tradition, which is surely a great responsibility for her and that will place her in the media raid, even more so. Her future husband, so far, has tried to keep a media profile as low as possible. And she, ditto. An aspect that little by little has been changing since the wedding announcement.

(Getty) 50 days, 5 details Since then, although with droppers, they have been revealing wedding details. From the place of the link to one of the most po[CENSORED]r gifts. Now, the real countdown to each bride begins, these are the secrets we know for now of the link of the year: The date. Naturally, one of the data that we have already indicated in red in our calendars is the expected wedding date. On Saturday, October 6 (exactly within 50 days), the happy couple will sing the 'yes I want' surrounded by family and friends in what will be one of the aristocratic weddings of the decade. Not every day does the heir marry the duchy of Alba. The place. It will, as it could not be otherwise, in the Madrid palace of Liria, which will open its doors to the hundreds of privileged guests who witness such a union. A scenario at the height of the event that, by courtesy and protocol, could even attend the Infanta Elena with one of her children. Facade of the palace of Liria. (Casa de Alba Foundation) Facade of the palace of Liria. (Casa de Alba Foundation) The Renoir The Duke of Alba was the first to deliver his wedding gift to his firstborn son and heir. The former Duke of Huéscar, Carlos Fitz-James, has bequeathed to the couple one of Cayetana de Alba's favorite paintings, 'Bust of a woman with a cherry hat', painted by Renoir in 1880, as advanced 'Heart '. Wedding dress. With an aunt designer bride, the choice in this regard was 'easy'. Although we do not know (as is logical) the characteristics and details of the dress with which Sofia will parade towards her destination with Carlos, the truth is that everything points to Teresa Palazuelo being responsible for shaping it. In addition, it cannot be said that he has no experience with brides of high ancestry: among others he dressed Eva Morejón in 2013 at his wedding with the son (and heir) of the Marquis de la Motilla and Carmen Tello (intimate of the Duchess of Alba) . Sofia Palazuelo. (Teresa Palazuelo lookbook) Sofia Palazuelo. (Teresa Palazuelo lookbook) A simple menu The person in charge of serving the wonderful dinner to the guests of the link will be Ciboulette Catering, one of the favorites of the Casa de Alba and the high society of the capital. As 'ABC' advanced, after the test of the menu of the bride and groom (which they attended accompanied by the parents of both), a simple menu consisting of three dishes will be served, which will culminate with a delicious Arabic cake (of wafers and custard cream). A dessert nothing ostentatious that predicts that the rest of the preparations will shine for its simplicity, style that marks the day to day of the bride. The great unknown Without a doubt, one of the great unknowns of the wedding will be the assistance of Alfonso Diez. The one who was the husband of the Duchess of Alba during his last years does not have a completely idyllic and close relationship with all the descendants of the missing Cayetana de Alba.

(EFE) The children of the Duchess of Alba, Carlos, Duke of Alba, Fernando and Cayetano Martínez de Irujo, together with the widower Alfonso Díez and the grandson Carlos Martínez de Irujo. (EFE) Although no confrontation has ever been leaked and there was no disagreement between the duchess's grandson and his widower, the truth is that nobody expects him to attend the link. Doing so would be one of the great surprises of the day and would demonstrate the desire of the Duke of Huéscar to keep his grandmother's memory as alive as possible during one of the most important days of his life.
  3. The elected mayor said on leaving that they were frank in the conversation and it was nice to see him. The elected mayor Claudia López arrived with five minutes to 10 in the morning on Tuesday. He entered through the parking lot of the 9th race with 10th street of the Liévano Palace. After three hours of conversation, López announced that Thursday at 10 am will be the next meeting to establish the splicing commission that will be headed by former Minister Antonio Navarro Wolf and former Adriana Córdoba . Claudia López would build two TransMilenio trunks TransMilenio split in two after clash at La Alquería While they were gathered, the same ritual that is lived every 4 years was seen in the central square of the City Hall.

It is the protocol visit on this occasion of the elected mayor Claudia López. After the protocol photos, the elected mayor and the acting mayor met in the private office to discuss the first issues of the joint. Lopez said the three issues that concern him are the Thomas Van der Hammen reserve, the Territorial Planning Plan (POT) and the subway.

  5. It was an open secret - a long time ago - and it was also decisive for Álvaro Bautista to decide not to renew for Ducati: we talked about the new Honda CBR1000RR 2020, from which a few days ago we saw the homologation patents. Our North American colleagues at Asphalt & Rubber have got these spy photos and video of a camouflaged unit rolling on the circuit. The camouflage does not prevent to see that it is a Honda CBR, and that it totally coincides with the sketches seen, with slight differences. The motorcycle looks very compact and aerodynamic, with a fairing inspired by the RC213V of Márquez and Lorenzo, although the front air intake is very similar to that of the CBR600RR. The ailerons integrated in the sides are clearly visible, in groups of three and seem fixed, although in the sketches we saw that they were two per side and that they open or close automatically. The chassis is very similar to that of the previous CBR, although there is some hole in the side that does not have the current version. The swingarm itself is very different, also to that of the sketch. Sophisticated The fork is a Showa SFF-BP and, although it is not visible, we imagine that the shock absorber will also be of the Japanese brand. This fork is the Showa ‘black leg’, and it is possible that Honda has two or three different versions of the CBR (standard, SP and SP2), with more or less sophistication. The engine is clearly different, and one of the things that will undoubtedly have evolved more: the crankcase covers are different, as well as the position of the gear lever. This engine should yield around 220 hp, if you want to be on an equal footing with that of the Panigale V4 R. A disconcerting thing is the brake calipers, a Brembo GP, too sophisticated (and very expensive) for a series motorcycle, which could perhaps indicate that it is the version of SBK that should be piloted by Baptist next season, and not the version serial. In the following video you can see and especially hear the new Honda CBR1000RR 2020. sounds good...
  6. Santorín, Santorini, Tera, Thera or Thira is a small circular archipelago formed by volcanic islands and full of white villages with blue domes. And it is not a dream They say that Cristiano Ronaldo, Leonardo DiCaprio, Selena Gomez or Elton John are regulars of Santorini. And this island of the Aegean Sea is mysterious and attractive as few. Loaded with legends and setting of the great feats of classical mythology, with all its plethora of heroes and oracles, Santorini has never ceased to be the queen of the Mediterranean, exclusive territory of glamor, paradise of rich and famous. He has captivated the heart of the more than two million travelers he receives each year, especially during the summer holidays, which have been haunted by his spell. It is only one of the 1,400 islands that dot the Greek waters, but also one of the most unique. They say that the myth of Atlantis was born here. Majestic beaches, archeological and cultural attractions, haute cuisine, great hotel offer… Santorini is a very special place to relax, enjoy and let yourself be seen. And to explore the charming villages that make up this island, 'the spoiled girl' of the Cyclades. It oozes Mediterranean flavor on all four sides, through that horseshoe-shaped territory, with high cliffs and multicolored beaches, which formed exactly 3,500 years ago, when the island burst due to a large eruption. Its inhabitants are aware that they literally live on a volcano, but they don't care, because this circumstance makes Santorini a peculiar and magical destination, to the point that they call it 'the pearl of the Aegean'. Around here, Phoenicians, Egyptians, Romans, Venetians traveled ... So until today. All fighting and coveting this territory that provides, they say, the most beautiful sunsets in the world. About 200 kilometers from the continental territory. A luxury of nature, also expressed in those volcanic sand beaches, blight-colored, which abound so much in Santorini, although there are also red (Red Beach, south of the island) and gold. It is convenient to take the pulse of the territory, traveling through the small villages scattered throughout the island (Kalisti, "the most beautiful", the Phoenicians called it). They are postcard villages, which bring a white touch to the highest of the blackened volcanic cliffs and that seem to try to head to the Aegean. Of course, it is not territory for Santorini heels, at least while traveling through its zigzagging alleyways, marked by countless steps. It is not capricious decoration. The orography forces. So we can direct our steps to Fira, the capital; Oia and Pyrgos, the most important po[CENSORED]tion centers, although along the way we will find other corners that will tempt us for their beauty. Where to sleep Following the hands of the clock: Hotel Tsitouras; Chromata Hotel; Hotel Grace and Hotel Vedema. Following the hands of the clock: Hotel Tsitouras; Chromata Hotel; Hotel Grace and Hotel Vedema. If you want to know what great luxury is, you have to direct your steps to Grace Santorini, possibly the most exclusive hotel on the island, because it will make you feel like inside a story. In addition to its spectacular views of the sea, it has an architecture and decoration that takes away the meaning and an infinity pool with one of the best panoramic views you have ever seen. And if you have forgotten your laptop and need to ask a personal question, no problem. The establishment provides you with one. And if what you need is an iPod, too. You can choose to stay in one of its impressive villas, with capacity for four people, and if you wish they will serve you champagne at breakfast, so that you start the day with a touch of bubbles. Do you want to know the price of accommodation? 900 euros in a superior suite for two guests. The Tsitouras Collection is also not bad, located in a large mansion built with vaults, skylights and domes in Firostefani in 1780 and full of antiques, among which we discover Roman amphorae, Byzantine icons, paintings and ancient maps. The views are excellent and, around the big house, there are five villas that can accommodate from 2 to 5 people. The House of the Sea, the House of the Winds, the House of Portraits, the House of Porcelain and the House Nureyev. That's what they are called. Do you want to know which illustrious guests have stayed here? Well, among others, Gianni Versace, Moschino, Joan Kennedy, Jack Lang, Demis Roussos or Harvey Keitel. Spending here one night costs 500 to 2,000 euros. Hotels in Santorini that cut your breath abound. There is much to choose from. There are, to name just three others, the stylish Chromata Hotel, the Vedema Resort, built around a 17th-century winery, or the exclusive Mystique. Where to eat Following the hands of the clock: Pyrgos Restaurant; Selene Restaurant; La Maison Restaurant; Le Ciel restaurant.

  7. After Friday’s historic protest, President Piñera asked his ministers to resign Chile, the Latin American model country, which, inside and outside the region, always presented itself as an example to follow in order to approach development, which all its neighbors envy for its per capita GDP of more than $ 20,000, its modern infrastructure and its low indicators of poverty, inflation and perception of corruption, among other achievements, has become in the last 10 days - and to the surprise of half the world - a sea of outraged social protests, vandalism, looting, beatings, curfews in several cities, 19 dead, hundreds of wounded and detained, and even reports of torture. Related topics Chile 05:36 a.m. Piñera asks the resignation of all his ministers after protests Protests 05:34 a.m. 'The dance of those left over', the song that guides the protests in Chile Chile 05:33 a.m. Piñera says he heard a message from 1.2 million Chileans For years there was talk of ‘the other side of the Chilean miracle’, but that reality always remained in the background in the face of macroeconomic figures and advances in the southern country. But there was a pressure cooker about to explode, and the trigger was a rise of only four cents on the Santiago subway passage. More than 70 stations of one of the most modern meters in Latin America were partially or totally destroyed after a Friday of uncontrolled rage (October 18) and followed by days and days of large street demonstrations demanding solutions to multiple problems social. You may be interested: Middle class in Chile ‘sees no solution with measures’ of Piñera And although in the first moments of this tsunami of indignation there were multiple looting, a situation that forced the Government to decree the state of emergency and take the military to the street (something that was not seen - except in the 2010 earthquake) since 1987, with Pinochet), with the passing of the days the protest is increasingly peaceful and massive: on Friday, 1.2 million Chileans demonstrated calling for the departure of President Sebastián Piñera and a more just society on a day that eclipsed the celebrations of the day in which Chile said 'no' to the dictatorship, three decades ago. At the time of retirement, a good part of the po[CENSORED]tion receives a fifth of what they earned when they were part of the economically active po[CENSORED]tion FACEBOOK TWITTER TIME consulted several Chilean analysts to address the keys to these troubled days, which already leave $ 1.4 billion in losses alone in Santiago, while marches continue and outrage spreads across the country. One of the key words to understand this outbreak is inequality. Óscar Landerretche, professor of economics at the University of Chile, explains: “Today, the country has practically the same levels of inequality that it had at the end of the 60s. During the dictatorship there was a shock of inequality, to the point that in a At the time we were the most unequal country in the world, and although democracy has been reducing distances, there is still a lot. Then, it is easy to understand that people feel dissatisfied when the result of 30 years of democracy is to have returned to the social situation, in terms of inequality, in the late 60s. ” The pension model Another critical factor is the pension model. Gloría de la Fuente, president and analyst of the Chile 21 Foundation, stresses that this issue is "extremely dramatic from a human point of view," because "today 80% of retirees receive less than a minimum pension salary." To which Claudio Salinas, an academic from the Institute of Communication and Image of the University of Chile, adds: “When it comes to retirement, a good part of the po[CENSORED]tion receives a fifth of what they earned when they were part of the economically active po[CENSORED]tion” . Juan Pablo Toro, of AthenaLab, a center for studies in international relations, security and defense, adds that more than half of the people earn around 400,000 pesos (1,850,000 Colombian pesos). Although it may seem not so bad, we must not forget that Chile is an expensive country, where “the cost of living has risen, and not only the rates of basic services, but also in the cost of ownership, which has become very expensive, ”notes Toro. Strikes in Chile Strikes and demonstrations continue in Chile for the fifth consecutive day. Photo: Javier Torres / AFP There is also the issue of the price of medicines, "which in some cases can be five or 10 times more expensive than in other countries," because it operates without control, under the law of free supply and demand, says Salinas. The list of claims is huge. Poor attention in the health system, high costs of education, transportation, electric power, etc. But De la Fuente adds a very interesting element to the analysis: "There is a strong sense of abuse of power against people." And he emphasizes: "All the institutions that administer power are in question today."
  8. Ducati has relocated us with the new Panigale V2, which replaces 959 and adopts the aesthetics of the V4. The fact that it is called V2 and not 959 (or 969, or whatever it touches now) makes it clear that the new Panigale is the little sister of the V4 and not a separate bug, because it shares philosophy and technology with that of four cylinders. You were surprised - I think everyone - that the displacement has not increased to compensate for the Euro5 and thus, incidentally, increase a few CVs and the pair, but it seems clear that Ducati does not want to have the enemy at home and wants to separate clearly both versions. The exhaust system leaves the double exit of the 959 for another single exit, much more integrated in the set. The engine continues to cube the 955 c.c. from before, but, despite meeting the Euro5, it gains 5 hp (now 155 hp at 10,750 rpm) and a slight increase in torque (from 2 Nm, now 104 Nm), based on new intake ducts and injectors. As for the cycle part, now assemble a beautiful single-arm swingarm, such as the V4, and the geometries are different, with a wheelbase of 1,436 mm (before 1,431 mm) and a weight distribution of 52/48. The suspensions are a Showa BPF fork and a Sachs ZF mono shock. The declared weight is 178 kg empty and 200 kg in running order. The TFT instrument panel arrives, as in the older sister, with the package now called «Safe Performance», with ABS Cornering, DTC EVO2 predictive traction control (which improves its efficiency in the 25% grip loss phase and quickshifter 'up & down'. The V4 2020, with standard ailerons The new V4 have been refined, and thus the electronic gas Ride by Wire has new parameters to improve the performance of the set. Also the suspensions have modified their adjustments and the cranks of the shock absorber, to raise a little the rear part. The standard V4 and the V4 S now mount the ailerons of the R. Ducati says that at 270 km / h they offer up to 28 kg of pressure, thus gaining stability at high speed.
  9. We review some of the looks of the characters in the TVE series, set in the 17th century. The costumes were a key piece in this Globomedia production Almost 10 years ago Spanish Television premiered 'Red Eagle'. On February 19, 2009, the adventures set in the Golden Age began during the reign of Philip IV. During 116 episodes and nine seasons, viewers enjoyed this fiction, in which the costumes were one of the keys to their success. Today we have looked back to inquire and know how the costumes of this fiction were prepared. [More information | Discover the cast of 'Monteperdido', the new psychological thriller of TVE] The plot revolved around Gonzalo Montalvo, a professor in the village but also a masked hero who sought to discover who killed his wife. The success was such that it jumped to the cinemas in April 2011. In addition, whether adapted or original, fiction has reached dozens of countries such as France or England. 'Red Eagle'. (RTVE) 'Red Eagle'. (RTVE) The interpretation of the actors when it comes to getting into the skin of their characters is, without a doubt, fundamental when it comes to bringing realism to the series, however, the clothes they are wearing are also relevant. T.vis.t & Improving the present was in charge of the 'Red Eagle' costumes. "With this series we were able to design contemporary styles, even sometimes a bit futuristic," says Cristina Caspueñas, responsible for the image of this company. And, behind the majority of costumes we could see in fiction there was a great research work. The series was set in the 17th century, so there was hardly any information to turn to. Of course, "a study of customs, social classes, clothing and accessories was carried out. There were many visits to museums and Google searches." 'Red Eagle'. (TVE) 'Red Eagle'. (TVE) Specifically, the figurines are those who made the costumes of each of the protagonists "and some pieces made by the tailoring Cornejo for other films were added and modified," he tells us. What was not possible was to get some piece of the time, but from the early twentieth century. The costumes of the actors who belonged to royalty were the most striking, especially those of the Marquise de Santillana, played by Myriam Gallego. Her corsets, colorful dresses and hairstyles rather than worked were the most commented. "It was very hard because I had many hours of recording, I rode with the dress on horseback ...". 'Red Eagle'. (TVE) 'Red Eagle'. (TVE) His looks went through several stages throughout the series. It began with fancy outfits, to later give way to more sensual ones. In the end he dressed in dark and more demure models. Margarita, played by Inma Cuesta, belonged to the people, so her outfits were much simpler. Even so, again the corsets played an important role. Margarita 'Red Eagle'. (TVE) Margarita 'Red Eagle'. (TVE) With regard to men's clothing, again there are differences between those of the clergy and those of the people; something that was reflected in the protagonist, Gonzalo Montalvo (David Janer), and Hernán Mejías (Francis Lorenzo). The first was characterized by wearing a more rural clothing, while the second always wore black suits, predominantly leather. 'Red Eagle'. (TVE) 'Red Eagle'. (TVE) As for makeup and hairstyles, they also played an important role, so sometimes the actresses could spend a quiet hour in hairdressing. An important production that was also key at the time of the success of ‘Red Eagle’.
  10. They have the approval of that organization that these days makes a visit to the country to assess the main priorities that should have its economy. The changes have been very po[CENSORED]r in recent weeks, but they become more important because of the approval they receive from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. According to a document of that organization, cited by Blu Radio, the first has to do with approving labor flexibility in the country, especially with regard to the implementation of a differential salary by age. In addition, the Ocde looks forward to implementing hiring for hours. Another change has to do with increasing the collection of VAT in Colombia, that is, that practically all products are taxed with that tax. "Applying the base rate to all consumer goods and compensating lower income households with a cash transfer can raise more money in a more inclusive way," the document said. A third important change is related to increasing the age to achieve the pension in Colombia. According to the Ocde, the calculation method must be changed to establish the pension amounts and extend some subsidies such as Colombia Mayor. GDP growth in Colombia For the Ocde, the Colombian economy will expand 3.4% this year and 3.5% in 2020, the best result in Latin America. "We are pleased to note that Colombia defends itself well, is above the Ocde average and in fact we project a solid expansion of the growth of the economy," the secretary general of that organization, Ángel Gurría, told reporters after meet in Bogotá with President Iván Duque. Gurría stressed that the growth forecast for Colombia is “twice the rate” of the Ocde and is the highest in Latin America and the Caribbean.
  11. We had talked to you a few days ago that Kawasaki was preparing a 250-cylinder, which was promised 60 hp at 20,000 rpm and this Wednesday was presented at the Tokyo Motor Show. This is the Kawasaki ZX-25R. This new motorcycle is totally different from the Ninja 250 that we showed you last week and is equipped with a quiet two-cylinder engine. The aesthetics Kawasaki ZX-25R is the same as the entire Ninja saga, in a totally sought after way. As for what is inside the fairing, not much data has been provided yet, only that it is moved by a tetracylinder in line LC of 249 c.c., although without more data, at the moment. 60 hp at 20,000 rpm? From Japan, data such as 60 hp at 20,000 rpm had been filtered, and this engine is very similar to that of the ZXR250 of the 80-90s, which was not sold in Spain and was the queen of the 250, when in At that time the 250 tetracylinders were common in Japan. Of course, he assembles a catalyst, but since this motorcycle, at least for entry, will be destined for the Asian market, it must only comply with Euro3 regulations. The fact of being more restricted with respect to the 30-year-old version may suggest that it does not have the 60 hp or 20,000 rpm of the ZXR250, but who knows… What is known is that it mounts a double beam steel chassis and a Showa SFF-BP fork. It only mounts a single front disc, although, yes, with a 4-piston radial caliper. On whether it will come to Europe ... If we are to bet, we would say no. The space of motorcycles of similar power Kawasaki has them covered with the Ninja 400 and 650, and hardly this motorcycle will exceed the Euro5. But spectacular, it is a while ...

Amancio Ortega will be one of the 11 privileged neighbors who can enjoy the morning ringing of the bells of the parish of Santa Barbara, in the Madrid square of Las Salesas. And it is that the Milenium building, in front of the Madrid gate of Alcalá, can cease to be the community with the most exclusive neighbors in Spain and also demolish Lagasca 99, where the average sale price is around 16,000 euros the square meter. Chance of coincidences, the new house of Amancio Ortega, with the seal of Abel Matutes Jr and Manuel Campos, borders that of his future in-laws, the Torretta.
  13. The act has generated controversy among those in favor and against the legacy of the dictator whose body rested for 44 years in a mausoleum near Madrid. After several delays, the exhumation of Francisco Franco's remains from his monumental mausoleum on the outskirts of Madrid, planned at 10:30 a.m. Spain time and early today in Colombia. This act occurs 44 years after the end of a dictatorship whose wounds have not finished healing. The government of Pedro Sánchez (PSOE), in power since June 2018, had made the exhumation one of its flags so that the Valley of the Fallen complex ceased to be a place of “exaltation” of the Franco dictatorship (1939 -1975). It is a “great victory of dignity, of memory, of justice, of reparation and, therefore, of Spanish democracy,” said Sánchez. The offal of the dictator, transferred from the Valley of the Fallen, about 50 km northwest of Madrid (in the Sierra del Guadarrama), will rest from today in the cemetery of El Pardo-Mingorrubio in the north of the capital, where his wife. Sanchez promised the exhumation for the boreal summer of 2018, but was delayed more than a year by the judicial battle raised by the descendants of the dictator who led Spain with an iron hand after driving a coup against the Second Spanish Republic and imposing itself on the Civil War (1936-1939). The opposition accuses the leader of the PSOE of using this transfer to obtain electoral revenues just over two weeks from the legislative elections of November 10, which he arrives in a situation compromised by the week of violent riots in Catalonia. Flowers and tributes Commissioned by Franco in 1940 to celebrate his "glorious crusade" against the "Godless" Republicans, the construction of the Valley of the Fallen lasted almost twenty years and thousands of political prisoners participated in it. The complex, located in the mountains located north of the Spanish capital, consists of a basilica carved into the rock of the mountain and crowned by a huge cross 150 meters high, visible from many kilometers around. In the name of an alleged national reconciliation, the ‘Caudillo’ had the bodies of more than 30,000 victims of the conflict moved after the inauguration of the mausoleum in 1959.

AFP Among them were fighters from the Franco side but also Republicans taken from cemeteries and mass graves without informing their families. Since his death in 1975, Franco has been in a grave, always adorned with fresh flowers, at the foot of the altar of the basilica. His descendants filed a saving of resources against exhumation and tried to reinhumate him with his daughter in the Almudena Cathedral, in the center of Madrid, but the Spanish Supreme Court rejected them. The Francisco Franco Foundation, which defends the dictator's legacy, called a demonstration in the Mingorrubio cemetery to pray "for whom he did so much for Spain and its greatness", but the authorities banned it. The controversy The government acts on the basis of a 2017 decision of the Spanish Parliament requesting the exhumation of Franco, who then fell into a sack broken by the opposition of the conservative executive of Mariano Rajoy, of the Po[CENSORED]r Party, whose deputies abstained. Since the adoption in 2007 by the government of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero (PSOE) of a "Law of Historical Memory", the right accuses the left of wanting to reopen the wounds of the past. Rajoy, in power between 2011 and 2018, boasted of not having spent a euro to apply this law aimed at removing the vestiges of the dictatorship, identifying tens of thousands of bodies still buried in mass graves and repairing the memory of the defeated Republicans and condemned by the Franco regime. The exhumation of Franco, was described as "desecration" by a columnist from the conservative newspaper ABC, revived these divisions.

  15. The Aprilia RS 660 was undoubtedly the unexpected star of the last Milan Motor Show, surprising with its beautiful line and its new online twin-cylinder engine, derived from that of the RSV4 1100. We already know that the Noale brand will launch a 660 range, with RS as a flagship model, as well as a naked and a trail. Now on Aprilia's Facebook, a photo of the final version of the RS 660 taken in a circuit has been shown, in the testing phase. Already in the renders of the production version we saw the logic ‘economization’ of the motorcycle that we will see in production (and in the EICMA 2019). Different from that of Milan The fairing is different from that of the motorcycle seen in Milan. According to Aprilia, work has been done to optimize aerodynamic penetration and efficiency. As we see in the photo, the series motorcycle has been ‘civilized’ compared to last year: the seat is thicker, the semi-handlebars are higher and the footrests do not seem to be very delayed. The motorcycle of the Italian Salon mounted Öhlins suspensions that here seem to be replaced by more conventional Sachs or Marzocchi. The chassis seems to be basically the same, but not the swingarm, much simpler than the EICMA. This element is asymmetrical, to allow fit the exhaust, located very low. The brake calipers, which in the ‘concept’ were Brembo monobloc ‘black leg’ radials, are still radial and perhaps monobloc, but simpler. The same pump changes: from a radial in the prototype, to a conventional one in the render. Also the tires of the drawings were different from those of Milan 2018.
  16. There was maximum expectation, not only for the couple (but also), but for what the guests would wear. This is our verdict. A wedding is always a fashion show, although sometimes it may end up resembling a costume party. That has not been the case in the Duke of Huéscar and Sofía Palazuelo, where, without being benevolent, we will say that mistakes have prevailed over the successes. In general, no one has skipped the protocol, the label or the good taste, although there are those who have refined more than others. Then we choose the 10 styles that have attracted the most attention. The most striking Ágatha Ruiz de la Prada and her children. (PI.) Ágatha Ruiz de la Prada and her children. (PI.) The designer, dressed as herself and herself, has been planted at the wedding, as she has done in other large-scale, with a whole explosion of color. His daughter Cosima was a deconstructed homage to bullfighting. And his son, Tristan, seemed to put the touch of 'sanity'. That said, they have succeeded, because they have given a touch of color to a ceremony in which few have dared to take risks. In the footsteps of Isabel Preysler The Marquis de Griñón and his wife, Esther Doña. (Cordon Press) The Marquis de Griñón and his wife, Esther Doña. (Cordon Press) Esther Doña has opted for a firm that loves the ex-wife of her husband, Isabel Preysler. We talk about Pedro del Hierro, architect of the dress. Nothing to object, strict and adequate. We only put a but: I could have opted for a more intense touch of color in the accessories (or makeup). Of course, olive green is a difficult color and the brand new Marquise de Griñón defends it well. We loved the feathers. Very produced Enrique Solís and his girlfriend, Alejandra Domínguez. (Cordon Press) Enrique Solís and his girlfriend, Alejandra Domínguez. (Cordon Press) Enrique Solís, impeccable with a B Corner chaque, signed by Jaime de Marichalar, has officially introduced his girlfriend, Alejandra Domínguez. You can not say that it goes wrong (quite the opposite), but perhaps, given his youth, he would have improved with a less sophisticated makeup. The dress, designed by Roberto García, with a striking neckline and opening, which allowed him to show off his legs, has been a success. Madrid as the most Esperanza Aguirrre. (EFE) Esperanza Aguirrre. (EFE) "President, president!" They shouted at Esperanza Aguirre upon her arrival in Liria. So, as if it were a subliminal message, it was red, the color of the community flag (the white stars were missing). What to say? Well, it was correct and, above all, fun. In addition, anticipating the temperature changes of these days, she wore a champagne-colored manila shawl just in case ... That nobody gets angry: the best Pilar González de Gregorio. (PI.) Pilar González de Gregorio. (PI.) Pilar, the daughter of the charismatic Luisa Isabel Medina Sidonia (remembered for the nickname of the red duchess) was possibly one of the best dressed at the wedding. With a Jorge Vázquez dress with a suggestive two-color print, a headdress that has found virtue in the middle, striking but not strident, and a complement that always gives a touch of distinction (if the format is well chosen): the gloves . A Disney touch Pigeon Segrelles. (PI.) Pigeon Segrelles. (PI.) Lorenzo Caprile is behind this somewhat 'Disney Princess' or lady design, as you see fit. Boat neck, long sleeves, gloves, pamelón ... Everything is right. A small detail: the shoes fit large. We already know that it is a trick so that the day of its release do not make blisters. Of course Paloma Segrelles approves. Eternally young, timeless elegance The Uruguayan writer has an exceptional quality: it always goes well. She is not a slave to fashion and, therefore, always chooses the clothes that best fit her physique and her age (she seems several decades younger). The choice of color, perfect, especially for photos. Both the orange of the dress and the fuchsia of the shawl. A very Andalusian look ... Carmen Posadas, 10. Oxymoron: the most modern and the most retro Brianda Fitz-James. (PI.) Brianda Fitz-James. (PI.) The granddaughter of the remembered Duchess of Alba could be the protagonist of a postmodern painting by Goya. The haircut, absolutely out of wave (that is, phenomenal) and a success the two pieces with a coat, with an oriental-inspired fabric, and a more spectacular loop even than that of Enrique Solís's girlfriend. The makeup, on the contrary, minimalist, and the shoes almost without heel. His style (by Juan Duyos) could have been carried by Björk himself. Brava, Brianda!
  17. The Bolivian government asked the international organization on Tuesday to send "as soon as possible" a technical mission to La Paz to verify the electoral process, questioned by a surprise suspension of the count last Sunday. Bolivia asked the OAS on Tuesday to audit the Sunday elections, whose quick count tends to confirm the re-election of President Evo Morales in the first round, which triggered protests in the country, criticism abroad and the call for an extraordinary meeting of the continental organism In a letter to the Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Luis Almagro, Bolivia is "requesting that, as soon as possible, it can establish a commission that will audit the entire process of official computation of the votes of the October 20 elections, "Pary said at a press conference. "We are interested as a government that the whole process has the necessary transparency," he insisted. You can read: Incidents broke out in Bolivia after questioned electoral results The idea is that the OAS "can prepare an official audit of the current electoral process, that is, that it can verify, that it can audit the entire process of official counting," he added. The chancellor's announcement follows an OAS convocation to an extraordinary session of his Permanent Council on Wednesday on Bolivia, where the questioned advantage of President Evo Morales in the elections in which he seeks a fourth consecutive term generated violent protests. The questions lie in the fact that two days after the elections the TREP fast count does not culminate, which on Sunday night anticipated a ballot and after an inexplicable 20-hour shutdown it resumed showing a "drastic and difficult change to justify the trend", predicting the reelection of Morales in the first round, denounced the OAS observers. We recommend you: Incidents in Bolivia explode after questioned results The president, in power since 2006, would avoid voting if he obtained in the first round more than 50% of the valid votes or 40% with at least a 10-point advantage over the second. In the TREP, Morales receives 46.4% and former president Carlos Mesa 37.07%, with 95.63% of the minutes. This telephone system serves to guide the trend of the final official calculation, but it is not official. Meanwhile, the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE) advanced on Tuesday in the official calculation to 83.87% of valid votes, in which Morales was ahead with 43.64%, followed by Mesa with 40.01%.
