The ruling by José Luis Calama against former president Zapatero is forceful enough that, at least, his supporters' message should be only what Justice itself dictates: to wait for the investigation to prove the facts imputed to him. That one is innocent until proven otherwise. The public defense by Patxi López and Mercedes Milá is blind faith and putting their hand in the fire for a figure who is everything among socialists. The fall of a totem, a moral compass, and all those cheesy and grandiloquent expressions, which are, on the other hand, true.

The government insists with a stubborn obstinacy to sell us the "Alquiler Seguro" program as housing policy, despite its unmitigated failure. It has captured a meager 4.1% of the flats it predicted: 82 out of 2,000. It has had to swallow the inflated figures it packaged to get headlines, amplified by TeleProhens, a public and propagandistic entity immune to discouragement in the face of the single message that the Balearic Islands are doing well.

A phone call announced on January 7, 2001, to Marta Balcells that her father had died. She was not told the cause. He was 55 years old and had heart problems. She inferred that he had suffered a sudden heart attack. She flew from Palma to Barcelona. Upon arriving at the family home, she noticed a very strange atmosphere. “People looked at me in a strange way. I thought it might be due to the shock of the death, but it didn't add up,” she recalls. A cousin pulled her aside and told her that her father had committed suicide. “I remember those days as something brutal, very shocking. The situation was chaotic because we couldn't see the body or organize the funeral, as we depended on forensic investigations. It was very painful to think about what he had done, but you also need to understand it.”

Bauzá's government included a section on the TIB website called ‘Tourism on public transport’. It promoted 39 tourist routes in six languages and with a video. Visitors should know that they could travel easily and cheaply all over Mallorca and discover beaches, heritage, hiking, and nature.

The idea of tourist rental emerged with a discourse of collaborative economy that would allow the democratization of income. In validating it, I don't know who the naive leftist was who ignored the voracity of man and capitalism. Over time, housing has been transformed into a financial asset, a professionalized business in which large conglomerates, vulture funds, and any greedy person has sunk their claws.

Javier Burón resorts to a simile to explain the housing problem as a public manager of the matter, with 25 years of experience in different regional governments. "We see how the lava advances and we are sitting on the terrace saying: 'Well, there's time.' When we have the lava on top of us, we'll see what we do.'" Author of the housing problem (Arpa Editors) and managing director of the public company for industrial land, housing, and territorial cohesion of the Government of Navarra, he is participating this Thursday, April 30, in Ca n'Oleo in Palma in a conference organized by the UIB on what is needed to have social and affordable housing.

Musa arrived at the interview appointment nervous. He hadn't slept because he had spent the night writing down exactly what he wanted to explain about his story. He needed to have the puzzle pieces in order. He notified the minors' center that he was turning 18. No one heeded his warning, and when the Police certified his birth certificate, they threw him out on the street. The system rejected him, and he lost any opportunity to access the public resources network. His case is not unique. According to his account, and as third-sector workers have confirmed, a friend of his ended up begging, overcome by tears and fear, at the door of a charitable organization to let him sleep under a roof. They made a place for him that they didn't have.

Musa's room always smells good. The air freshener sticks she has placed on a shelf anchor her to the new space. The smell calms her. It tastes like home. Where a month ago there was an office with a computer and a video game console, today there is a new mattress and bed. They are hers. She will no longer have to wander with her clothes in a sports bag, not knowing where she will sleep the following week.

A Francisco Capacete life was changed by a case in Buenos Aires in which an habeas corpus –the right reserved for humans to appear immediately before a judge after being detained– was requested to free a female orangutan held in a zoo against her will. "I found myself with great apes, who think and feel", he recalls. A law graduate from the UIB, he specialized in animal law in 2012. "I have always liked animals", he admits. Today he lives by defending them.

When Neil Armstrong stepped on the Moon on July 20, 1969, he uttered a phrase full of epic that would mark an era: “That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.” As the past is romanticized and idealized through nostalgia, we believe today that the mission's objective to the satellite was knowledge or the conquest of space. But it was born out of pure rivalry with the Soviet Union. It was simply a geopolitical positioning within the space race.

I'd like to think there was a time when Parliament served a purpose beyond applauding one's own and booing the opposition. A place where the government was held accountable and the opposition held it accountable. If that time ever existed, it's long gone. Today, parliamentary debate is, above all, an exchange of speeches designed for the gallery.

Pep Martorell is a physicist, holds a PhD in Computer Science, and is a partner at the management firm Invivo Partners, where he helps develop artificial intelligence (AI) projects. As an expert in the field, he will participate this Thursday, March 12, in the "Companies with a Human Face" symposium in Palma, to discuss the trends that will shape AI in the next decade.

We've been told about World War III so many times that when it finally arrives, we won't believe it. Just as we never imagined a politician like Donald Trump could exist, an egomaniac who has undermined the role of a leader in a democratic state, decency, and any sense of the ridiculous. Having become a caricature and a mirror for far-right populists, he threatens the world order, driven by his megalomania. If you stir up hornets' nests in Ukraine, Venezuela, Gaza, Greenland, and Iran, sooner or later one of them will sting us all.
