The city of Vigo will host the Vegan Fair 2025 on Saturday, October 25, and Sunday, October 26. An event that has become the largest gathering for the vegan and sustainable lifestyle in Galicia. The fair will take place at the IFEVI exhibition center.

The venue will feature over one hundred exhibitor booths offering plant-based food products, ethical cosmetics, sustainable fashion, specialized books, and eco-friendly services. In addition, there will be a food truck area with a wide variety of vegan culinary options and a children’s zone with fun and educational activities.

The fair began in 2021 and, except for the 2023 edition held in Madrid, it has always taken place in the city of Vigo.

Among the new features of this edition are two themed areas. The first, called "O Parladoiro," will be a discussion forum with guests from academic, scientific, and activist backgrounds. The second, "A Lareira," will be a slow-cooking space focused on mindful eating, using local ingredients and traditional recipes adapted to an ethical philosophy.

Tickets are already on sale. The price for a single-day entry is five euros, while the two-day pass costs eight euros.

Vegan Fair Gal reinforces its commitment to building a strong network among businesses, consumers, social organizations, and individuals working toward a more ethical, fair, and sustainable Galicia. It also aims to show that a different model of consumption and coexistence is possible  one that embraces flavor, culture, and innovation without compromise.

The High Court of Justice of Galicia (TSXG) has upheld the convictions of two men for the rape of a young woman in an apartment on Travesía de Vigo, as well as for the non-consensual recording of the assault. The events occurred in September 2022, when the victim met the defendants at a nightclub in the Arenal area of Vigo. After the bars closed, they all went to an apartment that belonged to a friend of one of the accused.

Inside the apartment, one of the defendants engaged in sexual relations with the young woman. According to the trial, the initial encounter was consensual, but later the second defendant entered the room, and both engaged in sexual acts with the victim, who repeatedly expressed that she did not want to continue. Additionally, a third person recorded the scene on his mobile phone without the victim’s consent.

The first defendant was sentenced to eight years in prison for a sexual assault offense, with the mitigating circumstance of having provided compensation for damages. The second was sentenced to eleven and a half years in prison: eight years for sexual assault and an additional three and a half years for the crime of unlawful discovery and disclosure of secrets, due to having recorded the sexual act without permission. He was also fined €2,520 for this second offense.

Both defendants must jointly compensate the victim with the amount of €17,000, of which €7,500 had already been deposited by one of the convicted men before the verdict as part of the damage compensation. Meanwhile, the third individual was acquitted of the charge of failure to render assistance.

This Thursday, September 25, Galicia will experience a day of educational strike driven by the frustration of teachers facing a situation that many consider unsustainable.
Called by the unions CIG-Ensino and STEG, the strike by non-university teaching staff aims to raise awareness about the progressive deterioration of public education in the region and to demand concrete measures from the Xunta de Galicia.

The reasons behind the strike are: increasingly overcrowded classrooms, insufficient teaching staff, precarious working conditions, and an education policy that fails to address the real needs of schools.

One of the most repeated demands is the reduction of teaching hours, restoring the previous workload of18 hours per week in secondary and vocational education (FP)and 21 hours in early childhood and primary education, conditions that were in place before the cuts imposed following the 2008 crisis.

The Xunta de Galicia has established minimum services to ensure schools remain open, with the presence of management staff and supervision for minors and students who attend class.
