BREAKING: SPANISH GOVERMENT COMPLETES THE PLAN AFTER THE HARD MEASURES AGAINST REITZMAG
The Guardia Civil arresting one of the URR's Embassy Staff this morning
"The operation has been successfull. Spain has managed to complete the operation shutdown in 24h.", said Miguel Villarroya, Jefe del Estado Mayor de la Defensa, this morning. "As far as we reach to know, no citizen from Reitzmag with the Reitzmatic Nationality is left on our country, same with our citizens there. All of them have come back to Spain arriving last night in Madrid Barajas, and then, they were distributed in buses to get them back home".
Juan Ignacio Zoido, minister of Local Government, said that 203 Reitzmatic citizens have refused to the Reitzmatic Nationality in order to get the Spanish Nationality and keep their jobs and life on Spain. He also said that "no refuses to the Spanish Nationality were made on the United Reichs of Reitzmag, so all of our citizens are back home safely." Zoido also said that the Cuerpos y Fuerzas de Seguridad del Estado, incluiding the Spanish Army, is ready to keep any Reitzmatic thing out from our country.
Alfonso Dastis, Minister of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation, has said that" I'm very happy with the results that the operation has given. Spain has accomplishedthe measures. The ambassador, his family and the staff are being sent back to the United Reichs of Reitzmag this morning."
The President, Jesús Aguilar, said that "Spain has showed Europe that if a nation kidnaps a very important person from other country, Spain is ready to follow the example of others, to lead or cooperate with the other European nations. We had good relations with the URR, but, as we thought when Dastis told us everything he saw, Reitzmag is a mess that doesn't know where they are going. That's why we have setted those hard measures, the hardest on the whole of the European Union. If URR dared to kidnap the Foreign Affairs Minister of Icholasen, why won't they do it with me or with any other important politician from Europe?"

ALFONSO DASTIS: MR. GREEN'S WORDS ARE OUT OF PLACE
Alfonso Dastis has answered to the threatenings coming from the Kingdom of Reitzmag about attack Spain and suggesting we could die because of their power. Mr Green, on his letter, said that "The Foreign Minister of Spain even called us a messy place despite their country being so damn hot and him even seeing for his own eyes the beauty and luxury in the kingdom when he visited us. The Spanish Government even called the kingdom as a national enemy despite the great relations we had together just because you are afraid to die. Or maybe you all are just communists very afraid of us capitalists that we may attack you. If you are not afraid of being the next in line to Comrade Sanders, then lift the sanctions imposed to the entire nation or limit them to a lower level."
Mr. Dastis, after this happenings, came up on a Press Conference, and said the following things: "Reitzmag is still as messy as before Coventry was killed, because the whole European Union knows that Coventry didn't kill himself. If our country is damn hot, then why did tourists from the URR came here? We are not as hot as uncultures people like Mr. Green think." Then, he added some comments about the bad part of Mr. Green comments: "This letter shows the rest of Europe our reasons to consider Reitzmag a National Enemy. People like Mr. Green are a risk for the rest of Europe."
Alfonso Dastis ended his press conference talking about the threatenings coming from Mr. Green: "Spain will answer according how does the government react to this. If we need to get more sanctions, we'll get them. We are not retiring any measures to let these kind of crazy people to come to our country and kidnap people. We won't allow that. If they try to attack us, we will for sure be ready to attack them."

TRECE TV - CATHOLIC NEWS: CARLOS AMIGO VALLEJO WILL TRY TO BE THE NEXT EU POPE
Carlos Amigo Vallejo, Arbishop of Sevilla, will be the Spanish candidate for being the new European Union Pope. He was ordained to the priesthood in 1960, he became Archbishop of Seville on 22 May 1982. Instead of going to Rome to receive his pallium from Pope John Paul II he received the pallium from Antonio Innocenti, titular archbishop of Eclano, Apostolic Nuncio to Spain, on 29 June 1982 during his installation mass at the metropolitan cathedral of Seville. He has been President of the Spanish "Conferencia Episcopal" from 2010 until 2019. He is a very devote person and give donates every time he can to help poor people in Spain. He is very social and preaches everyone after the mass in Sevilla every day. He also gets part on other projects like picking clothes to donate to poor people. And now, he's trying to be the first Spanish pope in the European Union.
But Carlos Amigo Vallejo won't have an easy way to achieve his dream. He will have to face with 5 others candidates, 1 from the Kingdom of Reitzmag, 1 from Lovrovia and 3 from Angleter. We will soon see if we have "Un papa español" instead of, like we think the song says in Spain... "Un Papa americano".

ALBERT RIVERA SAYS THAT THE GOVERNMENT PLAN TO GET RURAL POPULATION COULD BE BETTER BUT IT'S ON THE CORRECT PATH
Albert Rivera, during his Press Conference at the Congreso de los DiputadosAlbert Rivera, leader of Ciudadanos, has shared his thoughts about the new Government plan to get rural population. This plan has its origin in the latest European Central Bank Credit Worthiness Evaluation, which ranks Spain in the A+ zone, which means that Spain gets a medium-high credit worthiness. The European Central Bank found out that "large cities seem to dominate which means there is little rural population of activity", which means that Spain needs to invest more on it's rural environment and attract people to those village with 9 or less persons living in.
Albert Rivera has said that "the plan it's on the correct path where the government should go to, but it could be better than it actually is". On the Partido Socialista and Unidas Podemos side, they have said "this plan is not fair to those that have nothing, so we will vote against it". The Partido Popular has quickly answered this critics by saying that this is only a 1st Phase on how should things be done, and then, we will start adding more things in order to get a proper rural plan and more habitants living in Spain".

It seems that what is broken can be fixed, and that is what has happened with the Catalonian Procés (Procés in Spanish). Quim Torra and the President Jesús Aguilar have both met in the Palacio de la Moncloa this morning, when no one expected a single agreedment. But they have done it and this makes the Procés to finally stop, who knows if it's forever or just for a few weeks, months or years, but we won't be seeing those battles between the Spanish and the Catalonian Government anymore. While Torra arrived with the Referendum proposal, as always, Aguilar had a more relaxed path.
After 3 hours and 45 minutes of an intensive meetings, both appeared in the Press Room together to announce what many Spanish People finally wished. "Today, I have to say that Cataluña's has got what we needed. And it's not a referendum." Said Torra while many Catalonians started to worry on their Televisions, but the Spanish President started to talk: "Spain has finally saw what our mistakes are. We were wrong when Mr. Wert said that we needed to make Spanish the Catalan kids. We were wrong when we marginated some languages and we believed that being like we were in the 70s was the right path. This has been my first meeting with Mr. Torra, and now I know it won't be the last."
Both announced that the Government would start working on the measures from May 18th and they expect to get it done in July, when all the parties will be called for a negociation to pass all the legislation. One thing is certain: Spain is facing a new era.

But be sure of one thing: We always keep an eye on those nations thatwe have passed sanctions on." He said.

ALFONSO DASTIS: "WHAT WE HAVE SEEN LAST NIGHT IT'S WHAT WE HAVE BEEN EXPECTING FOR MONTHS"
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation has reacted this morning to the actions taken by Mennrimiak and the Kingdom of Reitzmag, after the words in the Congress of the President, Jesús Aguilar, where he said in response to a question made by Santiago Abascal, from VOX, that the sanctions are going to be kept for a year and that Spain was not assisting to RASE, apart from saying that the councillor elections were undemocratic as it wasn't no debate or anything that could make citizens informed about what the candidates had as proposals.
Dastis, who has been asked by the press before entering the Palacio de la Moncloa, has said: "What we have seen last night it's what we have been expecting for months. If you take good measures against someone, you can expect non-reasonable answers. About Mennrimiak, the speech of the Prime Minister just shows they don't have enough reasons to make this, but they need to support the Kingdom of Reitzmag because if not, like the Spanish say "se forma la marimorena". Then, he has been asked about the payments of Mr. Bridges to the Reitzmic enterpirses: "I didn't know bribing in the Kingdom of Reitzmag is legal, but I'm not surprised." He laughed a bit. "Anyway, that proofs what the President said yesterday. If you can't do a propper democratic elections, you can't pretend to make the enterprises leave without any reason. So that's why you need to pay a billion RPS. Anyway, those enterprises weren't operating here, and we don't buy anything to Reitzmag, so then I don't even understand why they've spent a billion euros for nothing. And about the CBC News, I can confirm operations won't cease, because CBC España is different to CBC Reitzmag, which means their money is for nothing. Anyway, I want to thank them for giving money to enterprises that are Spanish. That will make their budget increase, and will make employment grow, so thank you".

SPAIN FACES A CROSSROADS: WHAT SHOULD WE DO IN NOFOAGA?
By the newspaper's director, Jordi JuanThe last events in Nofoaga are concerning to anyone that believes on democracy. It doesn't matter how much you believe on it, the question is: Did the pro-French people need to do that? Sometimes, you need to start thinking on what you want to do, instead of, as they wanted to show the world, attacking the police, and those attacking the rioters back. But that isn't the crossroads we are on at the moment. Let's focus on the "interests" that the Kingdom of Spain has in the Republic of Nofoaga, and why what is going on there interests us more than we believe.
The question that you are thinking on could be this: "Wait, do we actually have things with that tiny island?" The answer is that we have some things with them, yeah. First of all, we have a free trade and movement agreement, which you won't care about just to go into there and watch lots of turtles and coconuts. Of course, if there are coconuts, there are palms. But you will find turtles all around the island, or that is what the ads on the TV says. But, what else does Spain have in Nofoaga? The army. The Republic of Nofoaga has not former army, so Spain took the management of the army into there while the Government gets some money.
At the moment, it has been known that the Nofoagan Government has asked the Spanish Government to deploy the army just to protect important buildings, to which the Government has said yes but with some conditions: The army won't kill anyone or won't take part on pushing-back the rioters. Also, they will negociate with the rioters to cease their actions and to get the curfew lifted and the Government has made a recommendation about politicians that have been arrested. According to a secret document, the Spanih Government has said the Nofoagan one that they should be released. Nofoaga will need some help, but it won't need a war. Meanwhile, Juncker thinks on how to stop these riots while populism and revolutions start spreading all around Europe.

BREAKING - "NO TO NUKES" DEMONSTRATIONS TAKE THE STREETS
Demonstrations in Glasgow has inspired the country; movement leader saysThe recent Spanish Government application to the ENAA has not felt very good in the Spanish society. Demonstrations has started in Glasgow (Escocia) and extended around the capital city of all the authonomous communities and regions all around Spain. Europa Press has interviewed the "No to Nukes" movement leader, who has asked us to call her Miley and keep his identity completely secret:
Q: Why don't you want the Kingdom of Spain to have nukes?
A: We don't need nukes to self-protect ourselves. We don't even need an army. The European Union is a peaceful nation, we are against of war, the Government is. Why do we need nukes at all? I think we just need to stop investing on defence and start investing on other things that are better for the Spanish citizens.
Q: If we don't need nukes, and we don't need an army, where do you think this aim to spend more and more on defence comes?
A: From capitalists-pig nations such as Inquista, Fremet or Gallorum. They want us to have nukes because they want a European War to take place. Don't you see them hating nations such as the UNSR? The UNSR it's the example of how we should do things. I encourage Podemos, specially Izquierda Unida, and all the Republican parties to set on a revolution. We need to get freedom from this authoritarian regime that it's called monarchy, and from this absurd President.
Q: So, I assume you'll vote Unidas Podemos in the next election, right?
A: No I won't. I'm an anarchist, I just vote inserting a slice of chorizo into the envelope and a short note where I say: "You're all slaves of capitalists". I believe on a society in which everyone can do what they want without a police officer arresting me for stealing food from my local supermarket.
Q: Last question, do you think that ENAA will approve Spain to have nukes?
A: They are all capitalist nations, so they will. But if they don't, I will personally try to meet with every single guy that voted against it. GO ANARCHISTS! GO ANARCHISM!

LIVE FROM EUROPOLIS - TUSK MAKES HIS FIRST PROPOSAL TO THE COUNCIL
Donald Tusk, before entering the CouncilIt's been 2 long years, but Spain, thank to its councillor in Europolis, Donald Tusk, has submitted its first proposal to the Council. During these 2 years, we only have taken part in debates to pass or reject proposals from other councillors. But now, our councillor is going under a different situation. The Council will debate an amendment to the European Heritage Site Act 2010, which has been made by our councillor.
In that amendment, Tusk has proposed that the European Commission accepts or declines applications, which would happen 2 times a year (one every 6 months). Countries could only submit one application per each round, and the lucky monuments that get onto it would be funded with European and National funds. At the moment, only the European Funds worked for that.
We'll see if the amendment gets passed or not. Hux Stevens, live from Europolis, EUnews.
The Kingdom of Spain
