The three news from Carlos Alsina to start the day: "The Labor Party revolts against Starmer in the United Kingdom"

The Andalusian campaign enters its final stretch with the PSOE trying to close the crisis caused by María Jesús Montero’s words about the civil guards who died in Huelva, while Pedro Sánchez once again claims the management of Hondius. In parallel, Trump and Xi Jinping stage a rapprochement marked by the trade war and geopolitical tension, and British Labor faces critical hours in the face of the possible rebellion against Keir Starmer.

Last days of the campaign in Andalusia and pressure on Montero

Penultimate day of the campaign in Andalusia with the priority of not screwing up to scratch a deputy by winning the famous remains. He told us yesterday Juanma Moreno that attending the electoral tracking, deputies in Córdoba, Málaga, Cádiz and Huelva dance.

In the case of Maria Jesus Monterothe objective of these last forty-eight hours is to finish fixing the mess of the debate so that we can once and for all talk about something else that has nothing to do with the civil guards who died in Huelva and the “work accident”.

Yesterday morning he already explained, giving a new version, that he did not say what he said, trying to assign part of the responsibility to whoever was passing by, which was Maíllo. That he had spoken about work accidents as such. Since the PSOE sees the immediate future as black and the only objective is to maintain the result of Juan Espadas four years ago, which was already the worst of socialism in what was once its great breadbasket of votes, Ferraz has called for a rebuttal.

Today in Cádiz the former president will be with candidate Montero again Rodriguez Zapaterowhich is not that it is at its best due to the report that the UCO is preparing on the case Plus Ultra.

Tomorrow in Seville the campaign will close Pedro Sanchezwho was also yesterday in Pulianas, Granada, with whom she continues to be the number two of the PSOE. There the President of the Government has returned to self-praise when speaking of the Hondius landing operation as an example of good management. Well, it collapsed and repeated the string of crises that the Government has faced. To which the hantavirus.

Trump and Xi seek to reduce tensions between the US and China

The meeting between Trump and Xi. Eminently commercial meeting on paper, with the US and China seeking economic agreements focused on the race for Artificial Intelligence and the fight for strategic minerals.

The meeting began with some first words of welcome from the Chinese president, who extended his hand to Trump to leave the trade war behind.

It seems that Trump picked up the gauntlet. At least that is what can be extracted from the brief extract of the meeting that has been allowed to be broadcast on television. The Republican – such an admirer of strong leaders – returned Xi Jinping’s praise, predicting a promising future for the two countries.

Beyond the good intentions, we will have to wait to see what it all translates into. The US has already made its intentions clear by including the CEOs of Air Force One on the passenger list of Air Force One. Apple, tesla either Boeing. The White House assumes that any agreement with the other great world power will allow Trump to free himself from pressure and regain some social support thinking about the midterm elections in November.

Although no one is aware that it is the geopolitical issue that will have occupied the most time in the meeting. Because China is Iran’s great supporter as it is its main oil supplier. The other was Venezuela. Maduro’s Venezuela because now with Delcy history has changed.

British Labor agitates against Starmer

The British press assumes the resignation of the British Health Minister today Wes Streeting to, after Charles III’s speech in Parliament, present himself as an alternative to the prime minister starmer. The meeting held yesterday between the candidate and leader of the Labor Party did not last twenty minutes. A clear sign that there is no possibility of agreement and that the British left will have to open a channel to maintain or elect a new leader.

All of this for the enjoyment of the conservative opposition, which only two years ago found itself on a long journey through the desert and now sees how the ones bleeding out are the Labor Party. Despite the fact that they also suffered a setback in last week’s elections.

The question that should be revealed in the next few hours is whether Streeting has the support of the eighty-one Labor MPs that are needed to move the leader’s chair. Because it is one thing that there are already more than a hundred who want Starmer to leave and another that the vast majority want him to be replaced by the current Minister of Health.

There are three other ministers who also sound like candidates. The Interior, the Foreign and Energy, which is the best known here because he already led Labor for five years. Ed Miliband He already had to resign because in 2015 he lost to the conservative candidate David Cameron.
