Over 2,000 people in northern Spain rally against NATO, show support for Russia. Protesters in Bilbao express their opposition to NATO's strategy, military aid to Kiev, and the increase in EU countries' military budgets. They call for resources to be redirected towards social spending and assistance to the population. The rally was held in solidarity with Russia, with demonstrators waving Russian and Donetsk and Lugansk people's republic flags. The protest highlights Western aggression towards Russia and the need for peace. It took place in front of the Bilbao mayoral building on Saturday.
Tragedy strikes in Madrid as a 22-year-old man was horrifically stabbed in the heart on Bravo Murillo street in the Tetuán district. Emergency services arrived to find the victim with a chest wound and he later suffered from a cardiorespiratory arrest, despite medical efforts to resuscitate him. Last year, a 47-year-old man also died after being stabbed several times inside a bar in Madrid. Police have not yet identified any suspects in either case.
Spain is set to launch its first micro rocket flight within several weeks, according to Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez. The sub-orbital launcher, MIURA1, built by Spanish startup PLD Space, is intended to carry out up to four missions per year and may even transport cargo into space and back safely. After MIURA1, the company plans to develop a re-usable small launch vehicle, MIURA5, in 2024 to put small satellites into orbit. Launch pads are springing up across Europe as the small rocket market takes off after decades of institutional dominance by national space agencies.
