A 36-year-old young man, an English court worker, died this morning at an attraction during the Matamá festivities, in Vigo.

The "grasshopper" attraction that Iván Castaño Hervella was riding had one of its arms detached and hit the ground and died. Although the person in charge pressed the button that stops the attraction, it took two turns to do so.

The attraction had passed the annual technical certificate, and its documentation was in order.

The Matamá city council suspended the party program completely and expressed its condolences to the family while the police opened the necessary procedures to investigate what happened.

This June 24th the pre-registration period opens, which this year will have 11% more places in the Galician community.

The Minister of Education, Science, Universities and FP, Román Rodríguez, has announced the new catalogue of cycles with an increase of 4,500 places.

Of the 46,714 FP places offered this new year, more than 36,000 will be in face-to-face mode and more than 9,000 will be in a semi-face-to-face or distance mode.

There are differences between ordinary FP and dual FP, the main one with FP being that with Dual FP the company is jointly responsible for the training of students with the highest number of hours of internships in companies, from 33% onwards, paid, while in traditional FP it is 20% of hours of company internships without pay.

Organic Law 3/2022, of March 31, on the organization and integration of Vocational Training, in its article 55, the dual nature of Vocational Training:
“All vocational training offers for Grades C and D linked to the National Catalogue of Professional Competence Standards will have a dual nature, incorporating a training phase in a company or equivalent organization. The offer of Specialization Courses for Grade E will have a dual nature, in the terms provided for in section 1 of article 52. The offer of Grades A and B may or may not have such a nature, depending on the characteristics of each training.”
