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.

PRIMER ENCIERRO DE SAN FERMÍN - FUENTE YMBRO
The First Encierro of this Sanfermines have delighted us with a fast and mostly fair encierro in which there have only been 4 persons injured. The first one is a famous runner in la Cuesta de Santo Domingo, which has a broken arm. He won't be able to run an encierro once again this year. The second injured is a Nicoleizian that avoided any police ontrol and entered the encierro without permission. He was apparently drunk and he ran in the opposite direction. He got gored by one of the bulls in his chest. He's out of danger at the moment, and he will spend at least 2 days in Pamplona's Hospital. Luckily, he had the European Health Insurance Card.
The other 2 injured persons are from Spain. The first one has a craniocerebral trauma, and the second one has a trauma in his leg, but he has been discharged this afternoon. Tomorrow, the bulls from Victoriano del Río's stockbreeding will take Pamplona streets.

THE OLIVE PRESS - SPAIN TO SET UP SOUND TAXES ON GIBRALTAR
The GSSA (Gibraltar Strait Security Agency), which will be incharge of setting the sound taxes on the StraitThe Spanish Government and the Gibraltar's President, Fabián Picardo, are planning to establish sound taxes in the Strait of Gibraltar. It's been known that a huge majority of European Countries which their cargo ships go trough the Strait would be subject to a 2 percent tax of the Cargo value on board. But not always these conditions will apply. The Spanish Government is planning to set different taxes for some nations. At the moment, it's been filtered that Inquista or the Duxburian Union would get a disccount, and some other nations would pay even more than the rest of Europe.
The official sound taxes list will be revealed on Monday 13th July and it's expected to create polemic about it. Meanwhile, in Gibraltar, we think that we will be richer, or how knows, we will keep the same money. The expectation grows as time flies away. On Monday, we will know everything about the first sound tax of Spain. Also, a second one for the Strait of Aventuranza is being planned, in which we have been able to know that Angleter and Duxburian Union wouldn't pay, and Inimicous would pay only a 1%.

SPANISH ANNIVERSARY DAY TO TAKE PART IN IBIZA THIS YEAR AS A PARTY
The Spanish Anniversary Day was pretty sucessful last year, but also very confusing. The old-existing nation of Derecta got his Prime Minister kidnapped by "El Trisha", from Red Croatia, the Romanovs opened a Bar & Grill in Ibiza and the fancy Archbishop of Inquista, Mikaela Klienberg got married with Juan Bernardo Fernández-Velázquez, who left la Legión without telling anyone and then was searched by the Spanish Armed Forces for months. This year, the Spanish Government is planning something different, and there's a fun thing: We are not paying for it!
People from Fremet, Vayinaod, Icholasen, Gallorum, Inquista and other nations that would like to join the party would be invited, but maybe some are not welcomed to it as Reitzmag. This means that the Spanish Government would have to decide if they let Reitzmic Celebrities (or whoever who attends the party) to enter Ibiza as we did with their fans for the EURO 2020, we are doing in summer and also, we did with Atty. Winston. The President would pay everything as it's a private party, so don't need to worry about your money being spent on a party to see Angela Merkel completely drunk or another kidnap like Cayetana's or Sanders'. The party will start the 14th August, as last year. Telecinco will set a special programme to let you know everything about the party we could see, thank to Cazamariposas, our celebrity journalism programme.

OPINION - JUNCKER, THE MAN THAT IS HATED BY THE ONES THAT SUPPORTED WINSTON
One year ago only the Spanish people knew Jean-Claude Juncker. Now, he is the Internal Affairs Commissioner, and mostly everyone (exceptions have to be made to those isolated or with no Internet Connection, TV and a mobile phone) knows him. And this had led into something I wanted to ask: Is Juncker, at the moment, the most hated person in the European Union? Where did this hate come from? Do they really know him and his ways? Or is this all a complot from the ELDRs, which are like a real pain in the neck?
Let's start with the first question: "Is Juncker, at the moment, the most hated person in the European Union?" This journalist thinks he isn't the most hated in the European Union, but he is hated by many. If we had to do a ranking, first is Tympov, second is Craticus, third is Winston and fouth would be Jean-Claude Juncker. So, no, he isn't the most hated in the European Union, or that's what I think. At all, this is only an opinion article, so you can obviously have your own opinion. And if someone tells I'm a centre-right voter, I've always voted the Partido Socialista, but I support Juncker. Can't I?
I will let the 2nd question for the last paragraph. So, the 3rd question is next: "Do we really know him and his ways?" That depends of 2 things. Firtsly, if you have red his biography, and secondly, if you has followed his campaign all around Europe. Jean-Claude is a fan of the "Diplomacy First", and he has had 2 summits: Individual one with Czech Slavia, which he promissed to visit, and the European Heads of Government / State meeting, in which we have seen many to join in, while others just announced a boicot and sent their EU Councillor even knowing that he won't be allowed.
And last but not least. Is this a complot from the ELDR? If you ask me, then I'll say yes. Mennrudemiak and Embarraitzmag are the European member-states I hate the most. While the first tell we have an arrogant leader, and we don't invest in welfare like they were perfect, they send a councillor to a summit he won't enter because of his position and they get angry! Who's now arrogant Mennrudemiak, you or the Spanish Politicians? And finally, we have Embarraitzmag (Reitzmag for those that don't understand my joke), which just tries to continue an old enough feud against every single Spanish that does not let Reitzmag "grow". I would like to remember they sank their own navy alone, but hey, sometimes is great to make others responsible of your mistakes and failures. That's why some hate Juncker, because he didn't let Winston win (even if many EU nations voted for him, but it will be always Juncker's fault).
The reasons are clear: If Atty. Winston would have won, Europe would be now in war, while the ELDR would be just having a good time. But, we got Juncker as an Internal Affairs Commissioner, and for some, that's horrible. But for me, it's great, because we could finally see the real ways and values of the ELDR.

BREAKING - PASCHAL DONOHOE, NEW ECONOMICAL ASSESOR; VILLAREJO RELEASES CORINNA'S CONVERSATIONS WITH HIM
The Spanish Government has got a new economical assesor into their team. It's Paschal Donohoe, who recently was incharge of the vigilance of the Ireland region in the Autonomous Community of Londres. This decision has still got no reason, but the Government says that he will be very important in some days. CBC News hasn't got access to those informations, but we are still on the search of the main reason, that for sure, the Spanish Government is hiding. The Minister of Economy, Luis de Guindos, has not said anything but "Mr. Donohoe is a great assesor that will help the Spanish Government in its future economical objectives".
Other news. Corinna Larsen, the King Juan Carlos' secret lover, has been affected by the release of t¡her talks with the corrupt Police Officer, Villarejo. Those talks were forced by Villarejo when he kidnapped Corinna in Saint Dominico, where she is been living since Juan Carlos' let her alone. In 2012, the King haunted elefants in another region, but broke his hip and photos were released in which he appeared with Corinna and behind, a dead elephant was lying on the floor. Villarejo has made a statement in which he has said: "I have more to release, and I will if they don't get me out of the jail."

Results in the Basque CountryThe Partido Nacionalista Vasco has won with 30 seats on the Basque Country, 2 more than in 2016, when the last elections took place.

OTEGI: EUSKAL HERRIA MUST BE INDEPENDET
Arnaldo Otegi (Elgóibar, 6th July 1958) is Euskal Herria Bildu's leader. In the past, he was part of ETA, Euskadi Ta Askatasuna, a terrorist band that killed 854 persons and injured more than 3000 between 1958 and 2018. He took part in several kidnaps of different politicians that opposed to ETA's goals, such as creating a socialist republic in the Basque Country, and since 1998, he has been into the Basque Politics, but being unable to assume any political position until 2022 for his crimes. Today, the EITB has interviewed Arnaldo, who has answered our questions.
J: Arnaldo, how do you rate the results of the last Basque Elections? Do you think that in 2024, a government leaded by you and supported by PSOE and Unidas Podemos would be possible?
AO: The last Basque Elections have prooved that more and more people believes in Euskal Herria Bildu's project. And specially, young people. In 2024, more young people will vote, and I'm sure that we will be able to kick Urkullu out of the Lehendakaritza. I don't know if the Partido Socialista would support me, they are against independence and everything that I believe on. Podemos is a sure support. And we are setting 1 condition: Euskal Herria must be independent from Spain.
J: As you know, coups all around Europe have started, with one leading to an occupied country while others leading to riots or technically nothing. What're your thoughts on the European Coups?
AO: I say that coups are the best democratical tool to express you disagree with your Government or you country. Look at Icholasen, they now have a Communist Republic that works, they have forbbiden the worst video-game in Earth which is the Sims 4 and sank capitalist lobbies such as the milk lobby. Spain shall look at how corrupt Juan Carlos is to make a Republic take place.
J: The Spanish Government will reveal soon the new Autonomy Status for Catalonia. Do you think Urkullu should ask for a new one?
AO: Spain has a bad president, with who I don't get along. Sadly, he has got an absolute majority, which makes the opposition technically irrelevant to decide on what we really want. Catalonia is just equalizing conditions with Andalucía or Basque Country, but sooner or later, they will become free, as we are becoming free in 4 years.
J: Last question. Are you sorry for being an ETA member and kidnapping to then kill politicians?
AO: That Otegi is gone. I'm a new Otegi, and I would like to say that what ETA did had some reasons. If I added pain to those families, I'm sorry. I'm not doing this again.

THE KING JUAN CARLOS GOT 100 MILLION EUROS IN DONATIVES FROM ARABIC COUNTRIES
King Juan Carlos I got 100 million euros in donatives from Arabic countries in 2008. That's what El Confidencial has been able to extract from the short revealed conversations between Corinna Larssen and police officer Villarejo, which took place in Saint Dominico, Inquista, in December 2018, when she was presumably kidnapped by the Intelligence Services (Centro Nacional de Inteligencia). She said that this donatives came from regions Spain shared business with before joining the European Union back in 2018, and that money was located in a tax haven and was never declared to the Spanish Authorities.
King Felipe VI is supposed to make an statement this evening after knowing about this informations. According to the Royal Household, Felipe VI didn't know anything about his father's fortune, and never got anything from him. Pablo Iglesias, from Unidas Podemos, has asked the people to take the streets to force a Republic and also, he has asked the king to abdicate and run away from Spain.

EUnews - MEETING COVERING BY HUX STEVENS
6th July 2020It's a rainy day in Europolis. The airport registered showers and strong winds when the leaders were arriving into Europolis. While some like flying, others don't, which means that they would have to resist and pray for not having any major incident. If we had the Eurostar, they could come by train, but the project is kind of stuck right now, even if Commissioner Juncker confirmed to us that he is making it a thing, and the plan has been presented.
The meeting went well according to Juncker. "It's been very exhausting, but productive", he said. But he has said more than actually that, all the leaders have. In fact, we can know what happened in that room. Not the conversations, not the real words. But we know what they've been talking about. Here's a resume:
- The Arrival
Arrivals were kind of funny. Jesús Aguilar met with his buddies Juncker and Tusk, Simon Bridges was met by Cllr. van Allen and arrived on a plane with a "United Kingdom" livery and no Reitzmic flag on it, Lord Christopher from Inimicus gave some elegance to the summit while Mikaela Klienberg was just Mikaela Klienberg (we all love her, no one can actually deny that.) If you don't love Mikaela, then you don't have taste. Kenith Lifejumper from Leagio has been the surprise of the summit, Katrin Weber was dizzy, Samantha Terrace arrived with the Premier Commissioner, Nylund being the coolest European leader once again, Dante Maximillian arrived with lots of papers (as seen in the photos), the new Malboryan Prime Minister Archambault lived in his eyes how his driver wanted to leave him 500m away the building, Slavomira looked worried and some others arrived late, like the Fremetian delegate or Emryc Isla.
- All ready, time to start
The start wasn't easy. While Juncker told the leaders to make proposals, a pandemic debate started. It seemed that the meeting was going out of hand, but the Commissioner acted in time to stop the debate and remember the leaders what they shall do in that meeting thread. They finally started making proposals, and the agenda was finally revealed.
First stop, Junckrojects
Juncker started making proposals. A new Internal Affairs building, extending the Commission terms and giving information about the EU app were his main proposals. He also called the countries to encourage culture. Suddenly, the Mennrimian councillor entered the hall, making us see the most embarrasing moment of the meeting. After that, the leaders spoke to Juncker and the debate continued, with some accusations like "power hungry". Some leaders were surprised about the happenings and wanted to answer those that still were in the hall.
- Diplomacy and Tensions, the boring point
Diplomacy and Tensions was like the point of the agenda no one wanted to listen. Spain and Reitzmag had their "only one speech" debate, Bridges calling things to the Internal Affairs Commissioner as usual and Samantha Terrace giving attention to the coup of Icholasen, which was also over the table. Inquista (Mikaela Klienberg) went full motivation and proposed an embargo to the Communists in Icholasen. Nofoaga was also mentioned by Kenith and Jesús, as Eastern Haane problems. Juncker answered everyone and then, moved to the third point.
- Climate and Industrial Activities, a yes but no
Not many took their turn in this point. Only 3 leaders spoke, which was highly confusing. Do European leaders care about Climate change? Or they just didn't care? Maybe they don't have a former opinion? Who really knows. Eurostar was mentioned in this point, in which Juncker, in his response, explained his plan. Sadly, no one revealed it, so the Commissioner still keeps the secret alive. But for how long? The Commissioner proposed to turn Europolis building to green energy, and also a Climate Change Summit to sign an agreement.
- Free Movement & Trade, never happening
The most negative point was the Free Movement and Trade. While free movement is never happening, free trade could be a thing if the leaders could agree on this last thing. Some opposed to Free Trade too, but a light can be seen at the end of the tunnel.
- Proposals, Thank you, Goodbye
And we reached the end. Proposals made by the different member states were discussed, everyone that made a speech thanked Juncker for his managment of the meeting and it's over. It's been hours, too many leaders but a single word: Unity. Europe is not divided at all. At least, the leaders want to meet together for 5 hours in the same room.

BREAKING - JULIÁN SÁNCHEZ MELGAR, GENERAL ATTOURNEY, TAKES REITZMAG - UNSR AGREEMENT TO THE ECoJ
The Spanish General Attourney, Julián Sánchez Melgar has taken the Reitzmic - Communist Nicoleizian agreement to the European Court of Justice. Since the reveal of the agreement, which took place on March 26th, the Spanish General Attourney have been looking into this, which in his opinion violates the Condemnation of the Coup in Icholasen on 3 articles: 1 and 2 from Section 1; and article 1 from Section 2.
The ECoJ will now start the procedures to see if they hear the case of not. Recently, Councillor Tusk said that "taking the money's return from Reitzmag to the UNSR was stupid, but petition the agreement signed in Vayinaod wasn't." Antena 3 and its journalist for the European Union, Guillermo Pascual, will be telling you the latest news we get from this petition.

KING JUAN CARLOS - MORE THINGS DISCOVERED ON THE SCANDAL
The King, on an archive photoThe King Juan Carlos' scandal does not cease to grow. Cars, apartments, big houses in luxury urbanisations and lots of undeclared money in tax heavens all around the world are what we know about the monarch's secrets, which have been revealed by Corinna Larssen. These records by Villarejo have made Corinna to recieve a citation to declare on the Tribunal Supremo on September in his own trial, which was closed 2 years ago because of lack of proofs, but now, the judiciary authorities have reopened the case and want to know more about what happened.
At the moment, King Felipe VI and the President, Jesús Aguilar, are thinking on what to do with these while pro-Republic protests take place all around the country. Those protests aren't so relevant (assistance is between 100 and 2.000 persons). As far as Público reached to know, the King Felipe would suggest his father to leave Spain and take exile in St. Dominico, Inquista or any other place like Nofoaga, where Spain has militar bases as part of the treaty signed. Nothing is clear at the moment, but it's possible that this August, we know the final result.

BREAKING - KING JUAN CARLOS I LEAVES SPAIN AFTER CORRUPTION SCANDAL, TRIBUNAL SUPREMO TO GIVE VEREDICT IN SEPTEMBER ABOUT POSSIBLE TRIAL AGAINST THE MONARCH
A part of the letter that King Juan Carlos I has send to his son, King Felipe, and that has been used as a Communicate.King Juan Carlos has left Spain and moved to an unknown place in the European Union. That's what the recent Royal Household communicate has revealed in a letter to his Majesty the King Felipe VI, in which he told the King about the reasons that motivated this decision to go away from Spain. The King would have left Spain some days ago according to different Spanish media.
In that letter, the King remembered his reign and his choice to left the institutional activities just one year ago. In March this year, King Felipe VI had to remove the salary of his father as the scandal started to grow. His son, Felipe VI, has re-marked the historical importance that Juan Carlos' reign represents. Now, the bids start. Where will the King have moved to? Does he have private securoty, or some Royal Guards are travelling with him? We won't know until someone reveals it. This marks the end of the biggest challenge that his Majesty the King, Felipe VI, has had to face during his reign. In September, the Tribunal Supremo will have a say on opening a trial against the King for this Corruption scandal if some of the happenings took place after 2014.

PABLO IGLESIAS SAYS REPUBLIC SHALL BE ESTABLISHED
Pablo Iglesias, Unidas Podemos leader, this morning in the CongresoThe institutional crisis is real. While King Juan Carlos has left Spain and moved to an unknown location, Pablo Iglesias, from Unidas Podemos, has made an statement this morning in the Congreso, which was discussing a non-law proposal to start the Monarchy - Republic procedures. In the debate, Pablo Iglesias has charged the Government of "not being able to kick the Borbones out of the country and being scared because they know this is the last time they are getting power in lots of years". He also said that "young people want a Republic because they don't trust on the 'Régimen del 78', which some 'fascists' like Manuel Fraga or 'recently discovered fascists' as Felipe González created to get their bank accounts full of money."
Pedro Sánchez has criticized the words Pablo Iglesias has used to talk about the old Spanish President, Felipe González: "Mr. Iglesias, it's a shame you say Felipe González, a President that have done more for the Spanish democracy than you in your whole life, is a fascist. The only fascists here are the deputees from VOX, who want to take us back to Franco year where everyone that didn't think like them was killed or opressed like the catalans. You need to excuse yourself right now". Pablo Iglesias didn't excuse himself and added: "Your wishes are as stupid as thinking you'll get to be the next Spanish President alone, Pedro".
The Spanish President, Jesús Aguilar, answered Pablo Iglesias in a very hard speech: "Mr. Iglesias, you say that the 78's Regime wanted to fill their bank accounts with money... Didn't you buy recently a house for 600.000€? I think you also want to fill your bank account with money, but of course, you need to lie to those that don't have the same amount of money than you. Republic won't be established, not under my direction, and I would like to remember the Partido Socialista about the Constitutional Agreement we reached in 1978 in which, along with the Communist Party and many other political parties, we said that a Parliamentary Monarchy was the best way to build the new Spain all wished".

NEW CATALONIAN AUTONOMY STATUS REVEALED IN THE PARLIAMENT BY TORRA AND AGUILAR
The Parlament de Catalunya"The conflict is finally over". With that words, the Spanish President Jesús Aguilar started his speech, that was applauded by mostly all the parties in the Parlament except the Candidatura d' Unitat Popular (CUP), a Catalonian and pro-rupturist anarchist party that has critiquized the sign of this agreement and has threatened the Catalan President and Mr. Aguilar: "We won't stay silent. Mr. Torra has sold our national sovereignty to the colonialists of Spain, we won't stop until we get what we want."; said the party leader.
Quim Torra has defended the new Estatut de Autonomía: "This is the last step of a really long negotiation that has taken months and we had to put lot of effort into." The new statut defends the use of the Catalan languages, a new way to distribute money into the autonomous community, The referendum voting will take place after the Congress passes the new Estatut and, most probably, after the new Catalan Elections that are set to take place between October and November this year. New challenges are coming to the old secessionists parties, which will need to bring new ideas before the campaign starts.

DERAILMENT IN STONEHAVEN KILLS 3
A ScotRail train derailed in Stonehaven yesterday killing the driver, a passenger and the train's conductor in Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire. It's believed that the derailment was caused by the heavy storms the Autonomous Community has suffered during the last days, that have flodded many towns including the tiny village of Stonehaven. The British Transport Police, special Transport force for the Autonomous Communities of Scotland and Londres, confirmed 3 deaths. Minutes later, ScotRail posted a tweet thanking everyone for their support messages and confirming the deaths of those 3 persons.
Today, major disruptions remain on the ScotRail network because of the recent weather and the derailment. Services affected are Glasgow to Edinburgh via Falkirk High, Edinburg - Dublane, Glasgow/Edinburgh - Inverness via Perth (which station flodded yesterday), Fife Circle, Glasgow/Edinburgh - Aberdeen, Aberdeen - Montrose and Inverurie - Stonehaven. Investigations are being done while the railways family tries to recover from this hard kick. Nicola Studgeon will attend to the funeral, and the Spanish Government is expected to make a statement through the Ministry of Transport.

BYE MBNA, HELLO UBER
The Jupiter Clipper with the new brandPrivate transportantion enterprise "Uber" has taken over the Clippers service in London after negotiations with Transport for London (TfL) and the Mayor of London, Sadik Khan. MBNA managed the service until last week, when it was left over to Uber. The Mayor of London made an statement concerning the new managment of the River Services: "Uber boats will bring a new, high-quality service that will increase frecuency and lines all around London, making the passengers confortable and satisfied with the new service. I would like to thank MBNA for their huge effort during the past years."
Uber boats have established a temporary route and timetable in order to make the new lines on the River services, while users say that "this was an unnecesary change" or "it will for sure be better". Londres is divided, but the Institutions seems not to.
