Abortion on demand for some women will be legal for the first time in Spain from next July. The controversial law that allows women to have an abortion without restrictions during the first 14 weeks of pregnancy was approved in the Senate last Wednesday by a majority of six votes. Representatives of the Spanish Socialist Party and feminist groups welcomed the law, which was promoted by the socialist government. They described it as a "historic step" in the fight for women’s rights. Spain’s president, José Luís Rodríguez Zapatero, said that from now on "it won’t be possible to send women to prison for interrupting their pregnancy." He added that the previous law had been an advance at the time but that "lately it has caused some problems."
Anselmo Lorenzo, sometimes called "the grandfather of Spanish anarchism," was one of the original Spanish anarchists. He was highly active within the movement from his meeting with Giuseppe Fanelli in 1868 until his death in 1914.
Die spanische Regierung unter Ministerpräsident José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero zerschellte gestern im Parlament an einer Abwehrfront. Alle Parteien wiesen gemeinsam in der zuständigen Kommission das Ansinnen ab, dass sogenannte "Sinde-Gesetz" weiter zu behandeln. Es ist nach der Kultusministerin Ángeles González-Sinde benannt und sollte die Internetzensur im Schnellverfahren behördlich regeln. Zapateros Partei, die sich "sozialistisch" nennt, hatte versucht, das als Anti-Piraterie-Gesetz getarnte Vorhaben im "Gesetz zum nachhaltigen Wirtschaften" zu verstecken ([local] Wie kommt die Internetsperre in ein Gesetz zum "nachhaltigen Wirtschaften"?).
How have different European countries implemented austerity measures since the financial crisis? Andrea Müller, Irene Ramos-Vielba, Werner Schmidt, Annette Thörnquist and Christer Thörnqvist write on developments within four countries: Germany, Spain, Sweden and the UK. They argue that there is little evidence to suggest that the failure to modernise the public sector in these countries was a key driver in the economic problems caused by the crisis.

Ciudadanos catching up on Podemos. By demonising corruption, Podemos set impossible standards of purity for itself. And now, in Ciudadanos, it has a rival for Spain’s anti-austerity vote
