The shit in Spain falls mainly in the fan

[The Larch]

The new VP will be Yolanda Rodríguez, the Minister of Employment, who's so far seemed to me one of the most competent ministers in the government, certainly the best of the Podemos lot.

It's Yolanda Díaz.  I'd have expected him to raise Irene Montero instead, picking Yolanda as his "successor" as the public face of Podemos in the government speaks well of him at least, even if she's not 100% Podemos (she comes from IU, but left the party at some point after joining the government, and AFAIK she has not joined Podemos, so she's kinda-sorta independent).

Will see where this ends up, since I don't think Pablo Iglesias is the kind of guy that relinquishes power without ulterior calculations. I see the need for Podemos to shore up the results in Madrid, where polls have been disastrous for them, but that's a big bet.

Yeah, there must have been some kind of backroom deal ahead of the decission, otherwise it's quite reckless as he's such a divisive figure in the left, when what is needed for it to succeed is unity. It certainly puts Errejón in a hard spot of having to support him, maybe that's his real objective. 

Ayuso, the current Madrid president, has already tweeted "COMMUNISM OR FREEDOM". Two days ago, before Iglesias had announced he was running she had merely tweeted "SOCIALISM OR FREEDOM" 

She's such a troll, she has already said in a press conference that Spain is indebted to her because she achieved the feat of taking Iglesias out of the government.

On a less SHIT HITS FAN news, President Sánchez has met with Macron today and - among other things - they have signed a double nationality treaty between both countries. It's the first of such treaties that Spain signs with a non-Latin American nation (and I believe France has also been rather restrictive, too).

Yes, his name came first to my mind, now he can run again for French office! 

FWIW, it's officially called The Montalban Agreement.

Spain has the same arrangements with Portugal, Andorra, the Philippines and Equatorial Guinea.

France has not been restrictive for quite a while (living memory). You may be thinking of Germany. 
As a matter of fact, even Germany allows dual citizenship for EU citizens nowadays.

PS: too late for the Hernandez brothers (Lucas and Théo) who were once possible candidates for both national football teams

So, it looks like we're a global power in polarization

Dutch are chill.

Yo, cel, do you guys really need a sign for this?

[celedhring]

 

That village's council has admitted they put up the sign wanting it to go viral. They reportedly have to pick up tons of discarded condoms in that area every week.
