Red alert at sea in the Baixas estuary this morning due to force winds 10 due to the extratropical storm of what was Hurricane Kirk of force 4.In 2006 alone, a similar storm had arrived from Hurricane Gordon of Force 3, both hurricanes had strayed from their route to the Caribbean, reaching Europe.

Many Spanish and Portuguese communities are on alert until Thursday that Kirk will arrive in France.

The Concello de Vigo has closed parks and beaches as well as the Paseo de Bouzas and the Las Avenidas gardens of the port of Vigo, without being able to access the jetty during the highlands. Floods are feared in low areas of Vigo as the highlands coincide with the largest discharge of rains, both on Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. and on Wednesday between 7 and 9, coinciding with the high tide just after 8:00 a.m. Aqualia has already reviewed the sewerage and sinks.

There are concerns about rivers such as Lagares in Vigo, the Teo river in Rianxo, the Miño river as it passes through Gondomar, etc. Soutomaior and Sobroso Castle will also remain closed.

The company Air Europa has canceled the flights on this October 9 from / to Vigo, Porto, Bilbao and A Coruña. Regular transportation along the Vigo Ria between Moaña and Cangas with the olive city has also been canceled.

While the storm Kirk did not touch land while it was a hurricane, Hurricane Milton is expected to do so in the southeastern United States, specifically in Florida, where it is being alerted to evacuate both people and animals.

Most young Spaniards cannot understand that laws are made to protect their pets and other living beings while others are subjected to torture and exhibition to death.

Recently laws have been enacted to protect animals from all forms of torture such as Law 7/2023, of March 28, for the protection of the rights and welfare of animals. Silencing the world of bulls, which are obviously animals like any other and are tortured to death for the enjoyment of a few and to enrich others.

This is bullfighting, the Spanish “fiesta” that is likely to be eradicated in the near future because of the human savagery it represents and in the face of the other countries of the European Union. The other member states see it as a delay typical of Roman times, when people and animals were executed for the amusement of other people in the Roman Coliseum.

Recently a Popular Initiative Law is gathering the 500,000 signatures needed for a popular initiative bill that seeks the eradication of this evil called art in its page Not my culture, in person in a number of locations such as the Vegan fair to be held in IFEVI this coming Saturday 26 and Sunday October 27 in Vigo.

You can also click on this link to read the full text of the law and on this link to leave your signature.

The suppression of the National Bullfighting Award has already taken effect since this year in Spain.

 

 

 

 

Active fires in Portugal stain the Vigo estuary and partially hide the sunlight.

The ashes and the haze that originates is reaching cities like Pontevedra, Vigo, Santiago ... in addition to the danger and havoc that is producing in many areas of Portugal as Oporto, Gondomar, Tábua in Coimbra, Penalva do Castelo, etc.

In Orense there are also outbreaks such as the one in A Gudilla, which is now inactive. Meanwhile, the outbreaks in Chandrexa de Queixa (Orense) and Cercedo-Cotobade (Pontevedra) are still active.

With numerous sections of roads cut of the A42, A24, A11, A342, A333, A231. A210, etc.

Currently more than 60 active outbreaks with numerous operatives; 36 aerial and more than 5200 operators. Unfortunately, 7 people died, including 3 firefighters, in a plane crash when they were surrounded by flames. In addition to the lives of numerous animals and the destruction of thousands of hectares of land, the Portuguese government has declared all the affected municipalities a catastrophe zone.

Portugal, in a state of alert at least until Thursday for the fires has asked for more aerial assistance from the European Union due to the severity of some of the outbreaks. Helping among them is the Spanish Air Force.

 

 

Five dangerous prisoners are being sought who have managed to escape from a Portuguese prison, specifically in the north of Lisbon.

It is feared that they intend to cross the southern border of Galicia on their way to other countries or possible residences.

The Civil Guard is on alert protecting and searching for them in the provinces bordering the neighbouring country. Especially in the provinces of Orense and Pontevedra.

They are Shergili Farjiani, 42 years old, the Portuguese Fernando Ribeiro Ferreira, 63, the British Mark Cameron Roscaleer, 37, Rodolfo Lohrmann, 61, and Fabio Loureiro, a Portuguese 34 years old.

They managed to do so thanks to the ladder that was provided to them from outside to jump over the six-metre wall, while the security guards were monitoring the visits.

Rarely has there been so much talk about a murderer on television as about Daniel Sancho Bronchalo, who even took the case to a university conference called "Approaching the Daniel Sancho Case: Crime in Thailand." as we will specify below. And not because murderers do not populate this society, sometimes discovered and punished, other times unfortunately not.

And there are some...

In Pontevedra last month the suitcase killer, José Manuel Durán González, was caught for the third time, a man who every time he left prison committed crimes by always murdering women in his environment.

He started with his own grandmother, stabbing her 16 times in 1988, which led to him spending 15 years in a psychiatric center

When he came out in 2004, he murdered his ex-partner again with a knife, which led to a 17-year prison sentence until 2023

So much so that the women in the city where A Lama was born and to which he returned every time he went out feared him and were scared despite being prohibited from going near there because he had a restraining order from the family of one of his victims.

In 2023, he again killed a woman with whom he lived in a room they rented in Vigo on Fragoso Street with a precise stab in the heart. She was found in a suitcase half a year after her disappearance. Currently, he has been ordered to be imprisoned incommunicado and without bail.

In 2022, another incident occurred on Zamora Street due to a conflict between neighbors, in which a sexagenarian complained about the noise of music and pots and pans, which led him to start sending warning notes to his neighbor until he ended up stabbing her to death, sentencing him for a crime of murder with cruelty and treachery to 20 years in prison.

Daniel Sancho apparently killed with premeditated blows, dismemberment, concealment of evidence and corpse after meeting his partner in Thailand, on a trip paid for with the murdered man's money and owing him a lot of money after having proposed to open a business. Perhaps because of the shame of his double life, (he is the grandson of a well-known actor apparently living in luxury while hiding his source of income by offering himself to other men for money).

However, it seems that not only his father and legal team tried to whitewash his conduct by demonizing the victim by calling a 30-year-old man an almost irresponsible minor, but also numerous Spanish gossip television programs seemed to support this theory. This was not the case with numerous YouTubers and digital commentators.

 Daniel Sancho was sentenced to death, commuted to life imprisonment while his sentence is confirmed. Like Artur Segarra, another Spaniard sentenced to death for murdering his partner, who is sentenced to life imprisonment by royal pardon on the Thai king's birthday. Finally, the Spaniard Carlos Alcañiz, who killed a co-worker in Ban Tai.

This has generated unrest in the Asian country, which wants nothing less than problematic or criminal tourism, as it practically lives off tourism and does not want this type of publicity.

Meanwhile, the UNED University has proposed a course and conference on the study of the Daniel Sancho case in its legal, psychological and social aspects in the Aula Magna of the UNED Associated Centre in Vitoria-Gasteiz

It can be attended online or free of charge by registering at the following link --> Starting on Tuesday, September 10 at 11:00 am.
