The previously proposed agreement, brokered with the assistance of the Canary Islands President, included a 6% overall salary increase and measures to safeguard purchasing power. A commitment was also made to establish a new negotiating committee by the end of April.

Despite the breakdown in talks, the regional government has reported that the strike is unfolding calmly and without incident. The Deputy Minister for Tourism, José Manuel Sanabria, stressed that while the government respects the right to strike, it must also ensure the safety and well-being of guests, as the strike coincides with one of the busiest times of the year.

USSR: Debunking the Catholic Ignorance of Father Gregory Elmer OSB! (7.3.2025)

Joseph Stalin – the elected leader of the USSR (and the man who won WWII) – attended Seminary as a youth in Russia. He maintained a close link with his priestly teachers after the 1917 Revolution (religion was not attacked but protected) and because of this – the Russian Orthodox Church played a leading role amongst the Soviet people in the fight against Nazi Germany (and its Catholic Church allies). Yes – Catholic priests accompanied the Spanish Legion, the Italian Fascists, the Hungarians, the Bulgarians, and the Romanians, etc, giving their blessings to the Catholic troops who carried-out the Holocaust that murdered 11 million – and the atrocities that killed and wounded a further 40 million Soviet men, women and children.

Spain: Russian Foreign Ministry – ‘Rights Violations of Russian Citizens Abroad’! (16.2.2025)

Factors such as media coverage with a strong critical narrative of Russia, the massive arrival of Ukrainian refugees – Spain granted temporary protection to some 210,000 citizens between 2022 and 2024 – and the activity of Ukrainian nationalist organisations have influenced this context. In addition, statements by some Spanish officials have stoked the controversy. In June 2022, for example, the mayor of Madrid, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, in a conversation with some pranksters, supported the need to “punish Russian bastards”, according to media reports.

The Panama Canal, an artificial waterway in Panama that connects the Atlantic with the Pacific, was completed by the United States in 1914 and returned to Panama in 1999 under a treaty signed by then U.S. President Jimmy Carter and then Panamanian leader Omar Torrijos. The deal relinquishes American control over the canal by year 2000 and guarantees its neutrality.

"My father met Norman Bethune in Spain during his recovery from battle injuries. Influenced by him, my father aspired to come to China, where he met my mother and later had me," said Michael Crook, chairman of the International Committee for the Promotion of Chinese Industrial Cooperatives. His parents, David and Isabel Crook, played an important role in training a large number of foreign-language professionals for China. "The spirit of Bethune has not faded with time; instead, it has been widely inherited and carried forward in both China and Canada," said Hu Jinqiang, director of the North China Military Martyrs Cemetery. Hu noted that today Bethune is not just a name but a symbol of internationalism, humanism and selfless dedication. "We commemorate him to inspire more people to remember history and carry forward his spirit."

This year marks the 85th death anniversary of Bethune, who died of blood poisoning at the age of 49 on Nov. 12, 1939 in China while aiding the Chinese people in their fight against Japanese aggression. His remains were relocated to the cemetery in 1953.

The commemoration began at 10 a.m., with participants bowing before the surgeon’s tomb and presenting flower baskets.

“My father met Norman Bethune in Spain during his recovery from battle injuries. Influenced by him, my father aspired to come to China, where he met my mother and later had me,” said Michael Crook, chairman of the International Committee for the Promotion of Chinese Industrial Cooperatives.

Bristol Housing Site: Disturbing Mass Grave Uncovered! (24.10.2024)

During that period, foreign fighters, largely sailors captured during conflicts with France, Spain, Holland and the early United States were held there and, it would appear, often died there.

Significantly the site’s use for this pre dates the creation of the Norman Cross camp in Huntingdonshire, which is sometimes described as the world’s first purpose built prisoner of war camp.

In the 19th century it was then used as a hospital, including in 1832 when Bristol was hit by a cholera outbreak and in 1837 it was turned into a Victorian Workhouse, which were kind of like homeless shelters but notoriously brutal, providing people with food and shelter in exchange for manual labour.

It’s thought the remains are likely to date from each of these three periods.

A statement sent to Greatest Hits Radio by housing developer Vistry, says research on the remains will “contribute to understanding of Bristol’s social and economic history”.
