⛺ Evacuated

Authorities in Ceuta have successfully cleared the final large encampment of migrants in the autonomous city. This operation involved both police and army forces, with reports indicating hundreds of migrants were evicted from the El Guano area. In judicial developments, Cándido Conde-Pumpido, President of the Constitutional Court, stated that Spain faces a problem of 'judicialization of politics' rather than 'lawfare', a comment made in the week following the lifting of Carles Puigdemont's arrest warrant. Meanwhile, opposition leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo has publicly questioned President of the Government Pedro Sánchez about the alleged 'removal' of Judge Beatriz Biedma, who herself testified about a plot to discredit her. The ongoing electoral landscape remains a key focus, with analyses of the intense political duel between Pedro Sánchez and Alberto Núñez Feijóo and strategies for optimizing votes ahead of the November 29 elections. The housing crisis continues to fuel voter discontent, and new proposals are emerging, such as the 'grandchild law' aimed at enabling 300,000 diaspora descendants to vote.
