After a January and February with normal temperatures, Spain has had an unusually hot March and April and is suffering a severe drought. As always, those who have made climate change their modus vivendi have taken advantage of the circumstance to retake the old term “global warming” and scare us with the apocalypse that never...

Spain is slowly rolling down the slope of history. Its best moments seem to be behind it and the constitutional edifice of 1978 – just another chapter in its long life – seems to be crumbling in slow motion.
