Good morning. It is Wednesday 28February and this is the news of the
day ABC ES. I would liketo announce that, in view of the
need to defend myself and restore myhonour as a Member and as a person,

(00:24):
and during the need not to compromisethe Utelist parliamentary group, I have
decided to move on to the JointGroup of the Congress of Deputies, from
where I will continue to defend theideas that founded my beginning on political activism.
José Luis Avalos will not leave hisseat of deputy and will pass to
the mixed group. The Socialist Member' s decision has led to his party

(00:44):
' s rapid suspension of its membership. The former minister of transport had to
make the decision for the time givento him by the socialists to leave his
seat. All this because of theinvestigation of the case unleashed around his advisor
Coldo Abalos has affected his innocence andhe has said they will be of the
most difficult decision of his political life. He has also weighed heavily on the
leadership of his party for trying toforce his resignation and, hopefully, also

(01:11):
to attend at the end of thisgame, forcing those who now pretend to
throw me out the back door tolook me in the face, me and
many comrades of the party who encourageme to move on. Avalos has accused
the weight and paid a tribute tothe right and said that this situation will

(01:34):
not prevent the right from continuing thehunt. He also claims to have received
support from some colleagues. Avalos hasbeen a member of the Socialist Party for
forty years, emphasizing that he wantsto be true to his person and ideas.
He has shown himself willing to takethe battle to the end and to
do so despite the obvious situation offragility that will now accompany him. With
Avalos in the Mixed Group adding aningredient of uncertainty to the very complicated arithmetic

(01:59):
that has to be infuriated with thegovernment in each vote in the Congress of
Deputies and also following the wake ofthe case that envelops Avalos the case of
the cold, the European Public Prosecutor' s Office asks the judge of the
national hearing that carries the case somereports, asks a copy of the anti
- corruption complaint. It also requestsdetails of the contracts awarded to the company
under investigation. In June, thespecial anti- corruption prosecutor already reported in

(02:23):
a decree on possible irregularities. Sincethen, the European Public Prosecutor' s
Office has been investigating the purchase ofmasks in the Canary Islands and the Balearic
Islands. With funds from the EuropeanUnion. Housing has presented this Tuesday the
reference index of rental prices. TheMinistry of Isabel Rodríguez thus sets a maximum
price and a minimum price. Theseprices depend on the neighborhood in which the

(02:44):
property is located. They only applyin areas known as tensioned areas. These
are areas where the effort to payrent exceeds thirty percent of household income.
Each autonomy is responsible for setting itszones when setting prices. It will also
take into account aspects such as thesurface, the state of conservation, the
year of construction or the possession ofextra amenities such as a swimming pool or

(03:07):
a garage. The measure will affectlarge holders, who are those who have
more than ten homes and only applyto new rentals. Those already in force
are left out. It will befrom March when it begins to apply and
for the moment only Catalonia will putit into effect. The measure shall apply
to one hundred and forty Catalan municipalities. Philip VI and Juan Carlos I meet

(03:32):
again. They have done so atSt George' s Castle in Windsor,
where a mass has been celebrated.In memory of Constantine of Greece, they
staged a scene in which John CharlesI relied on his son, the king,
to help him enter the chapel ofthe Castle, an image that normalizes
the relations between father and son untilnow, since the emeritus will march to
Budábi in two thousand twenty to DonFelipe and Don Juan Carlos had been seen

(03:54):
together outside Spain on three occasions.The first was at Elizabeth II' s
State funeral in two thousand twenty-two, at Westminster Abbey, London.
The following were at the funeral ofConstantine of Greece. In January of two
thousand twenty- three it was inthe cathedral of Athens and in the cemetery
of Tatoy. This new image equalsthe gestures of both members of the Crown,

(04:15):
both in private and in public,and shows their relationship outside the institution
they represent and in sports matters,Valencia denies Netflix access to Mestalla to record
a documentary about Vinicius. The teamreceives Real Madrid in Liga next Saturday,
almost a year after Brazilian footballer Viniciusreceived racist insults in mestalla. Precisely in
