From making the Americas to making Catalonia

It is normal for us to feel proud of our children, siblings or relatives who live outside the country and who work there after having spent time studying a master’s degree, a doctorate or simply because they have accepted a better job than the one they had here. Being able to say that you have

Restarting Badalona and the Badalonés School, alliance for talent and entrepreneurship

Restarting Badalona and the Colegio Badalonés collaborate to promote talent and entrepreneurship, an alliance that will have its first great positive impact at the inaugural act of the next Training Cycles course that the two entities organize jointly and that will take place next Wednesday, the 13th of September in the Badalona at 5:00 p.m.,

By bike… it depends!

The shared bicycle service that the Barcelona metropolitan area has launched, which arrived in Badalona just before the municipal elections, fails more than a fair shotgun. And I say this, despite, because I subscribed the first day, and because I have used it until, and I’m sorry, it has ceased to be a reliable service.

Restarting Badalona brings together experts from the public and private spheres to share the problem of access to housing and propose solutions

Little water for too much ideology

Writing an article about this essential resource and inadvertently – which I don’t want to – criticize the policy will not be easy. I will try to do so, above all, because I come from politics, and I am sure, convinced, that those who govern water today do not want to have to cut it

Eight billion

In 1987, the Generalitat launched the campaign We are 6 million, which in one of the advertisements said “… and to govern ourselves and help us progress we all have the Generalitat”. No one will campaign We are eight billion. Who should do it? The UN, what is it that tells us? On November 15,

A bad day

Faced with my existential sadness without serious and objective problems, my psychologist made it very clear to me that we all have the right to be unwell, to have a bad time and even to complain without feeling ashamed because others do have real problems. Next, it is necessary to get to work to identify

A Badalona classic: rain, sewage and discharges into the sea

Writing about the reasons why the sewers spill into the sea when it rains in Badalona is like writing about going back to school, going back to work after the holidays, metro pickpockets or airport strikes. I mean that it is a classic, recurrent, and to a certain extent a tired and useless exercise that

Badalona in ‘ON’ mode

In Badalona things can happen. The City Council has decided to sell a building –“El Peix”– that has no use to see if it can obtain 1.7 M€ and a private person can do something that the city may need. On the one hand, the news is positive. They have made a decision and have
