RAJOY REASSURES HIS POSITION ON BRITONS LIVING IN SPAIN

Posted on 4th January 2017 at 15:21
 
Theresa May, British prime minister, continued her Brexit tour of European capitals on Thursday 13th of October with a visit to Madrid. 
May met with her Spanish counterpart, acting-PM Mariano Rajoy, at his official residence, La Moncloa. 
 
The main item on the agenda of the bilateral talks was the impact of the UK’s vote to leave the European Union on the rights of the over 100,000 Spanish citizens who live in Britain and the estimated 310,000 UK citizens who are resident in Spain. 
 
According to a statement issued after the meeting Rajoy told May that British firms in Spain as well as residents and the “millions of tourists” need not worry, just as Spanish residents in the UK can be reassured that Spain will defend their interests. 
Although nothing can be decided until Britain invokes Article 50, Rajoy had previously released a reassuring message on Twitter that said, “We will work together to preserve the important ties that join Spain and the UK.” Rajoy stressed his regret at the UK’s decision to leave and defended the future integrity of the rest of the EU countries.

NEW INVESTORS WANT TO IMPROVE CABOPINO

Posted on 4th January 2017 at 15:05
 
Cabopino is a jewel at the heart of the Costa del Sol, surrounded by sand dunes, pine trees and traditionally-designed homes, but it now looks neglected and is desperately in need of improvement. It is the smallest of Marbella’s three marinas, the other two being Puerto Banús and La Bajadilla, and has always had a lower profile despite being popular with tourists. 
Built in the 1970s, Cabopino is about to enter a new stage in its existence. Now that the 40-year concession which has been held by a Danish businessman through the Marina de Cabopino company has expired, new investors want to take over with his support and backing, and they have jointly presented a project to modernise the port and put an end to its problems, with an initial investment of about five million euros.

A Legal transformation is required in order to accommodate changing cultural attitudes towards animal cruelty and those who commit it. 
 
That is the conclusion drawn by the Malaga Humane Society for Plants and Animals, who lamented the fact that so many instances of abuse are not deemed worthy of criminal investigation by the police. 
There were 16 investigations into accusations of abuse last year, a miniscule number that the society believes bears no correlation with the far more brutal facts on the ground. 
Even if a case is investigated it is typically done under an administrative umbrella and carries no more punishment that a minor fine.
