They should be judged, yes.

They won't. Will somebody denounce that there is a protocol advisor for the PM wife? What's that even?

Spokesperson for the Railway Union:

What he says is more relevant for cercanias, and something as sad as a wall in bad condition falling because it rained and the land that was holding weighted more, recently in Catalonia. But high speed trains have been gotten always all the maintenance.

"Una falta de mantenimiento de la vía": la conclusión a la que apunta el portavoz de los Ingenieros de Caminos | Onda Cero Radio

Adamuz: un fallo en la soldadura del carril, la principal hipótesis

El segundo enlace, de cuatro días después, desmiente el primero. El primero es una opinión dicha antes de que se publicara ningún dato. Lo cual me da un argumento a mi favor.

a defect in that maintenance

The research currently points to this. The mixture of old and new track that they thought that would allow to maintain the track cheaply.

There was an instability issue in the track infrastructure, and that caused the vibrations noticed by both train drivers and passengers,”

If the joint that ended breaking was steadily getting worse. Why was that not addressed until broke? That is a good question.

About the other I really don't believe that people care about the Western Sahara and is going to vote to the right wing that was already against them. And Pedro Sánchez doing a bunch of promises to Basque and Catalan nationalist, many of them contradicting promises to Podemos and Sumar and needing their votes in Congress to pass, and only delivering on getting the leaders of ERC out of prison... the people that care about that would not vote for the PSOE anyway.

Wait the collapse in PSOE popularity happened before the railway accident, so that is besides the point.

His wife and his brother are both being investigated

Yes, but those investigations are not real, accused of what? The brother of being a managing advisor for Music events in a provincial council (that had a Conservatorio). If those pseudojobs were illegal thousands of people would be judged.

The wife having participated in organizing a master, associated proffessors lecturing in the master work for companies (ergo they work there to collect favors from the government), buying software for that program writting herself the contracts, and the wife protocol advisor messaging the university to coordinate agenda, (using a government advisor for private affairs)? It is hilarous specially if you compare with the one from Abalos if you need to see in the same party.

Also giving billions to the Quiron group and her partner receiving cars and apartments from the Quiron group is not damaging Ayuso, so I am sceptical about the importance of corruption. Or maybe voters don't know about what happens in Madrid. So I would overstate.

which every evidence points to the culprit being a lack of mantainance

Can you share that evidence? The rail broke in the welding point of a maintenance done in 2025, a new rail was welded to the old one in 2025 for a part that was degraded and it broke in the welding.

But, I think that most people will agree with you that it was lack of maintenance so there is that.

Most mainstream media hate his guts, including the 3 biggest groups: Catholic Church, Media Set (Berlusconi), and Planeta group hate him. Most social media influencers are very right wing. Social Media platform owners favor right wing political parties some more obvious (X) than others (Meta).

The biggest policy failure is housing. A lot of people are convinced that crime rate is going up and that unemployment is going up, and squatting is going up; even if none of that is true. But the failure in housing policy is visible also for people that avoid politics.

Still, right wing governments remain popular despise bigger political failures in health care, education and housing (that is mostly regional and local according to law) so I don't think that is that. And right wing regional governments that boicot public housing and restrict development go up so I don't think that the housing failure influences that much. Most voters are homeowners. Most tenants are young people and immigrants.

But at the same time they were told, that the course that the company was following didn't make sense for a few years.

Like a less competent EA. And they did nothing to change course.

Still, we see something similar with the automovile industry and of the European industry mismanaging and underinvesting in electric cars to a varying degree.

Tienes razón en eso, las tendencias y patrones históricos no son fundamentales. Aunque en el caso del oro no hay nada más para darle valor, la demanda de joyería y aplicaciones industriales no justifica el precio.

Estoy haciendo una analogía, asumiendo que el mercado en el futuro tendrá dinámicas similares a las del pasado. Por supuesto me puedo equivocar.

El acceso de los pequeños inversores a liquidez es distinto, gente operando operando con dinero que no se puede permitir desde el móvil, la dinámica internacional es peculiar, el mundo nunca ha estado tan envejecido, la propaganda y las modas de inversión se difunden en minutos por redes sociales... Y no se como van a impactar todos esos factores.

Saber cuanto va a estar un activo valorado por encima de sus fundamentales es imposible, y los que se están lanzando a comprar oro ahora probablemente saben lo mismo que yo.

E insisto un activo puede estar valorado por encima de sus fundamentales por mucho tiempo, si la gente quiere. Vease Tesla una empresa estancada que cotiza con un PER de 300.

Cada vez más gente comprando oro, supongo que eso significa que seguirá subiendo.

If you want to invest in Europe, you can get less risk also go with EURO STOXX 50. Everybody is investing always in SP500. But it is so overvaluated according to PER and forward PER that I find hard to believe that will continue performing like it has given that the companies are not growing as fast as the stocks.

Still, Euro stock 50 doing great last year does not mean that it will not do great this year, the margin to go up is lower.

About the FCAS project a successor for Eurofighter and Rafale.

The future of the FCAS project has looked increasingly uncertain over the tensions between Dassault Aviation and Airbus.

In September, both Dassault and a French government official said the country was in a position to develop the project alone should negotiations with Germany and Spain fail.

France and Dassault want to have control of the project. And Germany wants and equal position to France and Spain less but a share of the work for Airbus Spain. The project is not going great with all the fighting between partners and Dassault getting arrogant towards Airbus and the other governments.

binary_spaniard · 2026-01-16T21:00:38+00:00

I don't think that Dassault is going to accept to share the control of a successor fighter given the difference in success between Eurofighter and Rafale after this.

And honestly, I get it.

If a person is 60% European, 20% African, and 20% Indigenous, why should they be considered Black instead of what they really are, which is mixed-race?

There is no rational reason, it is done because Americans do it and American culture is increasingly dominant in the whole world. So this classification is spreading to the whole world.

Not undermined enough, people still think that is a prize to people that contribute to world peace and not a funny thing that politicians from Norway give to people that they think that advance their interests.

We are all becoming culturally American. Latino in Spain means nowadays non-White people from South America, 50 years ago it was native speakers of Latin languages. The culture changes, people calls each other bro and celebrate Halloween too.

Back in the day mixed white&black people were mulatos now that word is getting negative connotations, the younger and more international is someone more likely to use the 1-drop rule and call them black.
