'Por el cumplimiento de los acuerdos:' Fuengirola municipal workers take to the streets

Workers at the Ayuntamiento de Fuengirola (municipality) took to the streets again on Thursday June 9 protesting the fact that PP mayoress, Ana Mula, is not keeping her promises.

This is the third protest the writer has personally seen in Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol in the last couple of years, and while in 2011, 15M revealed the huge salary increases handed out to local Councillors, ordinary workers like firefighters, local police and other municipal workers first took a dip in salary and have been promised an increase ever since. It just isn't happening.

If anyone would like HD photos of the protest, please comment below. Si desea copias de las fotos, comentar a continuación.

Police in Canary Islands scratching heads over car parked on house roof

Police in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria are a little baffled after finding a car parked on the roof of a house in the La Isleta area of the Canary Island city.

The police posted photos of the white hatchback Daewoo Matiz on Twitter on Monday, showing it has no license plates and is parked on the flat roof of the house. Their comment to the image was, "This is what they call parking 'on high,'" but saying they value the structure of the house.

While there is a parking shortage in the city, it does seem to be a strange solution. Reportedly the police were first alerted to the weird parking situation by a neighbor in the suburb. They and firefighters in the city have no idea how the owner got it up there, but suspect they may have used a crane.

After firefighters examined the structure of the house, it was established there is no risk to the car falling through the roof, but according to TelevisiónCanaria, they will be asking the car's owner to remove it from the roof.

Huge recall of Mars bars, Milky Way and Snickers bars right across Spain

If you have been hoarding a Mars bar, Milky Way or Snickers bar for a chocolate feast, beware. 

The chocolate company Mars has ordered a huge recall of the tasty snacks right across Spain after plastic was found in a product.

Reportedly the massive recall doesn't just affect Spain, however, as Mars is also recalling bars from Belgium, Britain, France and Italy. Apparently the recall also affects Celebrations chocolates. What a darn waste!

The company in Germany said in a statement, "Mars Chocolate is carrying out a voluntary recall of chocolate products of Mars, Snickers, Milky Way and Celebrations after plastic was found in a product." 

"With this recall, we would like to prevent consumers who have purchased one of the above-mentioned products from consuming it." 

If you have any of the above-mentioned chocolate in your home, check the dates, as the recall only affects products with a best before date from June 19th, 2016 to January 8th, 2017.

Spanish Puppeteers Jailed For Satiric Puppet Show In Madrid ‘Celebrating Terrorism’

Parents were outraged and children were reportedly traumatized by a recent Carnival puppet show held in Madrid, Spain, that appeared to celebrate terrorism.

During the puppet show, titled “La Bruja y don Cristóbal” (“The Witch and Don Cristobal”), puppeteers held up a placard reading, “Gora-Alka-ETA,” or “Long live Al Qaeda-ETA,” referring to both the Islamic and Basque terror groups.

The puppet show itself included scenes of the hanging of a judge, two police officers being beaten, the rape and murder of a nun and a pregnant woman being stabbed ... read more
