The Supreme opens the door to apply the minimum for disability in personal income tax, accrediting it through medical reports or other means

 The Supreme Court (TS) has established that it is possible to apply the tax exemption for disability in the IRPF provided that it is accredited by any means, not only through a certificate issued by the IMSERSO or the competent body of the autonomous community, thus giving the right to the family of a woman already deceased who provided medical reports. The Supreme Court explains that, although these certificates are the most effective way to prove invalidity and graduation, it is not the only one, so other means of proof cannot be ruled out. https://www.20minutos.es/noticia/5111969/0/el-supremo-permite-aplicar-el-minimo-exento-por-discapacidad-en-el-irpf-a-quienes-lo-acrediten-por- cualquier-medio/

Glovo's management has reached an agreement with its office staff to carry out an employment regulation file (ERE), in which the company reduces the layoffs it wanted to carry out. On January 30, the home delivery platform announced a 6.5% cut in office staff (where customer service employees, programmers, data managers or employees of the commercial part work), which is translates into 250 layoffs.

Brawl between Feijóo and Escrivá over pensions in Brussels: "It is irresponsible and a lack of patriotism"

 look at this news about reproaches, comparisons and mutual accusations for the pension reform.  "A patch" and "a tactical postponement of the problem", says the opposition.  A "reform that guarantees sustainability" in the face of the "irresponsibility, frivolity and lack of solvency and patriotism" of the Popular Party, replies the Executive.

The new municipal surplus value is not infallible, it can be claimed

 The plenary session of the Constitutional Court (TC) supported last week the express reform that the Government carried out in November 2021 on the so-called municipal capital gains tax (technically called tax on the increase in value of urban land). However, some tax experts consulted by CincoDías Legal believe that there is room to claim a refund of the new tax. Many taxpayers wonder if it is possible to appeal to the new surplus value. This is stated by José María Salcedo, managing partner of Salcedo Litigios Fiscales. In addition, he points out, "the judgment of the TC only affects the claims filed against municipal capital gains referring to transfers that were made as of November 10, 2021 [date of entry into force of the reform]." As explained by the lawyer, the resolution closes the door to appeal for formal reasons, that is, for the application of the new regulations (in doubt due to its approval by royal decree law) now endorsed. However, he believes that the window...

"His wife is a prisoner": the harsh confession of the man who brought Schumacher to Formula 1

 Michael Schumacher had an accident in December 2013 while skiing in the French Alps, and since then his health has been unknown. In September 2021, Netflix released a documentary about the life of the pilot and, although his fans expected more details about his health to be known, none of that happened.  Eddie Jordan was a friend of the seven-time Formula 1 champion and who made him debut in the highest category of motorsport in 1991, at just 22 years old, in the team that bore his last name. And, in the last hours, the man who can be considered his mentor, broke the silence: “This is the most horrifying situation for Corinna (for his wife). She hasn't been able to go to a party or a lunch for almost ten years, she's like a prisoner because everyone wants to talk to her about Michael, when she doesn't need to be reminded every minute." https://www.clarin.com/deportes/-mujer-prisionera-dura-confesion-hombre-llevo-schumacher-formula-1_0_VnU1ALoMTX.html

Trans controversy in the opposition to the Police in Torrelodones: an opponent changes his sex before the physical tests

 The applicant passed the first exam in January as a man and last week presented a notarial certificate saying that he was a transgender woman before facing the physical tests. The oppositions to the Municipal Police of Torrelodones (Madrid) have come across the first case of a sex change in the middle of the selection process.

The Mexican soccer player Selene Cortés also denounces harassment in the networks: "Let's not wait for this to become normal"

Sexist violence against soccer players on social networks has once again become evident. The Mexican soccer player Selene Cortés denounced that a subject was harassing her through her Instagram account. The Pachuca player exposed on her Twitter account how a user, angelpuentee01_, has made sexual publications with photographs of Cortés and even threatened to abuse her.  “Things that for some people are 'normal' because we are public figures.

The Twitter user has used the athlete's photographs to call her "mommy" or "bitch" and extended his threats: "It wouldn't be bad to bump into you here in Pachuca and abuse you," he wrote. https://elpais.com/mexico/2023-03-22/la-futbolista-mexicana-selene-cortes-tambien-denuncia-acoso-en-las-redes-no-esperemos-a-que-esto-se-vuelva-normal.html

Where the word SPAM comes from?

 Have you ever wondered where the word SPAM comes from?  Have you ever thought about its meaning?  And how does it taste? You will be surprised to know that it is a food, and it was a world famous English comedy troupewho led us to identify this word with something that floods us and is everywhere without us wanting to, and without being able to avoid it.  This is the famous sketch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bW4vEo1F4E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLih-WQwBSc&t=9s
