Spain vows legal reforms in wake of spying allegations

May 26, 2022 by www.euronews.com

The Spanish government will tighten judicial control over the country’s intelligence agency, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said on Thursday, weeks after the agency admitted it had spied on several pro-independence supporters in the region of Catalonia with judicial authorization. The country’s National Intelligence Center, or CNI, has been under fire since April, after Canada-based digital rights group Citizen Lab alleged that the phones of more than 60 Catalan politicians, lawyers and activists had been hacked with controversial spyware. The CNI later acknowledged in a closed-door meeting with Spanish lawmakers that it had hacked into the cellphones of “some” of these politicians. On Thursday, Sánchez announced plans to overhaul the 2002 law that sets out judicial control of the intelligence agency. “It’s aimed at strengthening the guarantees of this control, while also ensuring maximum respect for the individual and political rights of people,” he told parliament. … [Read more...] about Spain vows legal reforms in wake of spying allegations

May 17, 2022 by news.sky.com

Spain has approved a draft bill that widens abortion rights for teenagers as it becomes the first country in Europe to entitle workers to paid menstrual leave. The measures are part of a package of proposals that will be sent to Spain's parliament for debate. It includes an extension of abortion rights, scrapping the requirement for 16 and 17-year-olds to obtain parental consent before terminating a pregnancy. Meanwhile, it proposes giving workers who suffer from severe period pain three days of optional medical leave a month, with two additional days permitted in exceptional cases. "We will recognise in the law the right to leave for women who have painful periods that will be financed by the state," equality minister Irene Montero tweeted on Friday.

Toto Wolff plays down Mercedes’ Monaco Grand Prix hopes

May 26, 2022 by www.independent.co.uk

Toto Wolff has set expectations low for Sunday’s Monaco Grand Prix as he admits the track isn’t Mercedes ’ “happy place”. The team have not been up to their usual standard this season but are still in the mix. Their latest outing at the Spanish Grand Prix was a boost for Mercedes with George Russell finishing third and Lewis Hamilton claiming fifth. But the team prinicpal isn’t predicting a similar points haul in the upcoming race. “We’ve seen another big step, probably we’ve halved the advantage to the front-runners,” Wolff told Sky . “But still there’s lots of way to go in order to be in the fight.” Mercedes have only won one Monaco race in the last four seasons and so Wolff has evidence in his predictions. But he has conceded while he isn’t expecting much, he is “curious” about how they will do.
