(CNN En Español) — Sus premios son menos suculentos que otras loterías, pero la ilusión y el fervor que genera entre la población no tiene igual. En España, el Sorteo Extraordinario de Navidad, cuyos orígenes se remontan a 1812, es uno de los eventos más arraigados en la cultura popular española, y para muchos supone el pistoletazo de salida de las fiestas navideñas.A medida que se acerca el 22 de diciembre, fecha de su celebración, las administraciones de lotería empiezan a recibir más y más clientes que desean hacerse con uno o varios décimos (la unidad de participación más pequeña que uno puede adquirir de forma oficial). Pero no todos los locales tienen el mismo imán.En Doña Manolita, una de las administraciones más famosas de toda España que se sitúa en pleno centro de Madrid, las filas de espera pueden ser kilométricas. Hay quien incluso llega antes de que abra para asegurarse un turno en la fila, como Celia, una joven que dejó su isla natal de Ibiza para estudiar en Ma...

Selmayr ain’t welcome back in Brussels, EU officials say

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:23:02 GMT

BRUSSELS — The potential return of the “Monster of the Berlaymont” is freaking out Brussels.The halls of Brussels’ institutions are abuzz with gossip (and some fear) that Martin Selmayr, once the European Commission’s top civil servant, known for his abrasive leadership style, is set to return to the mothership as his assignment in Austria hits the term limit. If an official of his seniority were to return to Brussels, it would have to be to a big job. POLITICO spoke to a dozen EU officials in Brussels, all of whom said his return to Brussels was unwelcome, unlikely and, in the words of one Commission official, even “unthinkable” under the current boss of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, who runs a tight ship. Still, the officials were granted anonymity to speak freely about Selmayr, who is still seen as a powerful figure, but has been packed off at a safe distance to head the European Commission’s office in Vienna. In a sign that even he ...

Football’s governing bodies UEFA and FIFA broke EU competition rules by attempting to block the breakaway Super League, the European Union’s top court ruled.“The FIFA and UEFA rules on prior approval of interclub football competitions, such as the Super League, are contrary to EU law,” the Court of Justice said in a statement, adding that they breached EU competition law and the freedom to provide services.The two football organizations were “abusing a dominant position” when they cracked down on the competing league as their rules weren’t “transparent, objective, non-discriminatory and proportionate,” the court said.Judges are giving their advice on EU law to a Madrid court which will rule on the final details of the Super League legal challenge backed by Real Madrid and FC Barcelona.A dozen of Europe’s leading football clubs set up the Super League in April 2021 but the project collapsed after several clubs pulled out follo...
