The PSOE maintains its 19 deputies and wins the elections in Asturias

It's official: the PSOE has won the regional elections on May 28. After a busy day, the recount of the votes of Asturians residing abroad does not change anything. The Popular Party needed a difference of 840 votes in the eastern constituency to wrest a deputy from the PSOE, but the numbers have not given. In this area, Diego Canga has garnered 539 votes and, although he has surpassed the Socialists by more than a hundred, he has fallen far short of the goal. Diego Canga, in an exercise of realism, assumed this morning that changing the results was going to be difficult, especially seeing that the votes assigned to the Eastern zone did not exceed 1,500. The day has been slow and it has been delayed even more after the appearance of a new box when an hour had passed from the start of...

Lasso's decision not to participate in a new election, announced on the afternoon of this Friday, June 2, at a press conference called with little notice and which was attended by the entire Cabinet and his family, did not cause surprise in the ...

The closest thing to the salad they eat in Moscow is a salad with potatoes and mayonnaise, but no olives or bonito, among other various ingredients. That real Russian salad is called Olivier after the Belgian chef who invented it. What the Russian salads from Russia and Spain are similar to is that there is no consensus on the ingredients they should contain. There, they add everything f...
