People power leads to Ashya reunion PEOPLE power has led to the parents of cancerstricken Ashya King being reunited with their fiveyear-old son. English prosecutors decided to drop the case against Brett and Naghmeh King after more than 160,000 people signed an online petition demanding the release of the couple, who were being held for an extradition hearing. Prosecutors were left scrambling to get in touch with the Spanish authorities to secure the couple’s release after the public outcry. The parents were finally released on Tuesday evening. An international hunt was launched when the boy, who suffers from a brain tumour, was taken

from a UK hospital. This thrust Spain into the spotlight after his parents were arrested and prevented from visiting his hospital bedside. Ashya King was left alone in a Malaga hospital as Brett, 51, and Naghmeh, 45, were remanded in custody on Saturday to await an extradition hearing. They were taken to Madrid to
face a judge leaving Ashya all alone in hospital. It was not until Monday that Ashya’s eldest brother, Naveed, was allowed to visit and comfort the boy. By Tuesday his parents had not seen Ashya since their arrest. The case swept the headlines across the world as first the hunt was launched when Ashya was taken from Southampton
Hospital without the consent of doctors, then he was found and his parents arrested. The search had soon focused on Spain where the family was known to have a holiday home, with Guardia Civil staking out their house near Casares on the Costa del Sol. In fact, he was found at a hostel in Benjarafe in the Axarquia, on Saturday. His parents had posted a YouTube video asking for the hunt to be called off and explaining their actions. In it, Brett said that they were not withdrawing treatment for their son, but rather wanted to seek an alternative not available in the UK.

THE Russian import ban on certain produce from the EU could cost the Valencia Region millions of euros. Direct imports to Russia of the region’s fruit and vegetables last year totalled €151 million. The Generalitat vice-president, Jose Ciscar, who also heads the region’s department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food said the import ban will negatively affect the industry and is launching a campaign to encourage the region to turn to local produce: “We have to help the local economy and our agricultural sector by
becoming principal clients for our top quality products.” Citrus fruit, dessert grapes, pomegranates and persimmons are all suffering the aftereffects of the Russian veto, Ciscar added. Meetings are to be held with the National Government to assess the situation. Meanwhile, Valencian growers are studying ways to by-pass the ban on the import of European produce by using countries not affected by the veto as initial destinations and then transport to their customers.

THE Minister for Justice, Alberto Ruiz Gallardon, is working on a law proposal that would bring the number of people in Spain who have parliamentary immunity down from 17,621 to just 22. Gallardon is of the
opinion that parliamentary immunity should be restricted to just a few members of the government and the royal family as they have the powers of state. Should the law be passed then the only
Basque police detain British driver, 55 A BRITISH man, 55, was detained for speeding on Sunday evening when a static control on the AP-8 toll motorway clocked his car doing 211km/h (131 mph). The legal speed limit along that part of the AP-8 toll motorway and on all toll roads in Spain is 120km/h (74.5 mph). The man, who was driving a Mercedes Benz and accompanied by his wife and two children, was arrested at the next toll station and escorted to Ertzaintza police station. The man will appear in court today where he could be fined up to the maximum penalty.
people to enjoy this immunity would be the president of the government, the presidents of congress and the senate, the presidents of the constitutional tribunal and the supreme tribunal as well as the 17 presidents of the autonomous communities. “This makes 22 people in total,” commented the minister in an interview with El Pais newspaper. Gallardon went on to point out that these legal reforms could not be completed by an ordinary legal proposal as the immunities are written into the constitution and, as such, cannot be modified by a legal reform but rather by a reformation of the constitution itself.

little Ashya?
T
HE treatment of the King family, who took their sick child out of a UK hospital and travelled to Spain, raises serious concerns about the rights of parents. Initially there were worries for the health of five-year-old Ashya, who is seriously ill with cancer. In that case the authorities were probably right to launch a hunt to track down the family. But once found and it became clear the parents were acting, in their opinion, with the best interests of Ashya at heart, was it really necessary to arrest them and whisk them hundreds of kilometres away to Madrid for an extradition hearing? Was it necessary to admit the little boy into hospital and then refuse him the comfort of visits from his obviously loving parents and siblings? A five-year-old-boy, seriously ill in
hospital in a strange land will be a frightened little boy, confused and wondering where his parents are. Who knows what thoughts were going through his head? And what a terrible ordeal for his parents to go through, not allowed to visit their beloved child in hospital, and forced to leave their other children in the care of their eldest son. Yes, initially the authorities acted in the best interests of Ashya, but once the wheels of bureaucracy ground into action, seemingly the last person to be considered is that same little boy. Yes, a European arrest warrant was issued, but once the circumstances came to light surely it could just as easily have been withdrawn? It was an appalling way to treat the whole family, and verging on barbaric the way Ashya was kept from his parents at a traumatic time in his life.
FOUR members of feminist group Femen pelted the Interior Ministry building with eggs to demand justice for rape victims. The activists from the feminist group showed up at the ministry in Madrid with Violacion = Marca España (Rape = Made in Spain), Stop Violación (Stop rape), No es No (No means no) and Violación no es tradición (Rape is not a tradition) written in black ink on their bare chests. They threw eggs at the building, chanting ‘A violador castrado, huevos estrellados’ (Smash the eggs of the castrated rapist - a play on words in Spanish between a man’s genitalia and actual eggs ‘huevos’). The protestors were identified by police but not arrested. The group reportedly

After questioning witnesses and the accused, the judged deemed it appropriate to file away the
case as no evidence was found that the men had indeed raped the victim. Following the protest, Femen asked the Interior Ministry and the Ministry of Justice to amend the law and give exemplary punishment to rapists. Eight women are raped in Spain every hour, they said.

IFACH: Digging out the past.
Community that settled Marina Alta
THE Pobla de Ifach excavations at the foot of the Calpe landmark are over for this year. The dig, overseen by the Alicante Archaeology Museum (MARQ) brought to light what must have been a guardroom, said dig director and archaeologist Jose Luis Menendez. Located at the approach to the mediaeval settlement it was around six metres wide and 16 metres long. The 40 student volunteers from 17 Spanish and European universities who spent July and August at the site have now uncovered approximately half of the building. They also located plaster walls with graffiti scrawled by the inhabitants and users of the building which was constructed between 1305 and 1325. Pobla d’Ifach was destroyed and abandoned in 1400, Menendez said, but it was the nucleus of Marina Alta towns like Calpe, Benissa and Teulada that were peopled by the descendants of the hundred or so families who once lived there. Juan Bautista Rosello, who heads the Alicante Diputacion’s Culture department, applauded this year’s findings. The natural and archaeological importance of the enclave was fundamental, he said, not only for Calpe but for the entire province.

STAT OF WEEK EUROPE loses €136 billion in lowered productivity caused by employees’ stress. Only 29 per cent of Spanish companies protect staff against stress, compared with the EU’s 56 per cent average.
Not much difference SIXTY PER CENT of parents worry about the return to school, revealed comparison website Rastreator.com. Last year families paid an average €670 in registration fees, textbooks, and materials. This rose to €1,080 and €1,530 for state-aided and private schools respectively, found
consumers’ association CECU. Despite their worries only 13 per cent of parents have changed their children’s schools since the crisis. Of those who did, 30 per cent sent them to a cheaper option within the same category. Thirty per cent downscaled from private to state education, just over 25 per cent
Overflowing wine vats predicted CASTILLA-LA MANCHA is yet again on course to produce too much wine. Once this year’s grape harvest has been processed there will be insufficient room in some districts to store the wine following 2013’s record 53million hectolitre production. Castilla-La Mancha’s wine-makers have historically prized volume over quality and shunned the lower yields preferred by many other regions. As a result, some bodegas cannot find buyers for their entire production. There has been less demand from Spain’s catering industry although family consumption has risen slightly. Prompted by
low bulk prices averaging €0.41 a litre, exports increased to 22 million hectolitres last year with most of the wine destined for Italy, France, Portugal and the UK. A further seven million cubic hectometres was used for grape juice but neither the domestic nor foreign markets have been able to absorb Castilla-La Mancha’s 2013 production. The situation can still be remedied, believes Rafael del Rey who heads Spanish Wine Markets Observatory. If the grapes grown in Castilla-La Manca were paid according to calibre, this would discourage overproduction and encourage quality, not quantity, Del Rey said.
changed from state-aided to state and 14 per cent went from private to state-aided. Three-quarters of parents will compare prices this year and 55 per cent are applying for grants. Some will acquire secondhand textbooks and uniforms while others will cut down on meals, transport and extra activities.

Dodgy business AN extra €46 billion from drugs, contraband and prostitution will now be included in Spain’s GDP. Since there are no official figures, estimates may not be 100 per cent reliable, economists warned.
Fewer lay offs ERE redundancy plans affected 91,169 employees between January and July this year. This was 58 per cent lower than in 2013 when 126,864 were laid off during the same period.
Hasty words equal share rise MODEST pharmaceutical laboratory Bionaturis recently set Spain’s secondary stock market (MAB) abuzz. Its shares shot up by 15 per cent after their website announced it could produce 1 million doses of anti-Ebola vaccine within a month. Next day Bionaturis was obliged to explain it was not developing an Ebola vaccine. It had intended to
say that with sufficient financial backing, the laboratory was capable of producing that amount. “The statement was an error that got out of hand and was taken out of context,” said Bionaturis CEO Victor Manuel Infante. In response to Infante’s admisstion, the stock market immediately responded with a 14 per cent fall in the share price.

Time to make a financial plan Loose change A look at finance for females
Jane Plunkett jane.plunkett@euroweeklynews.com
THE financial world is forever harping on about how women need to be smarter when it comes to money. Financial advisors and research papers tell us that we need to learn how to manage our money better and they say that in comparison to men we lack financial confidence to make the smartest decisions possible when saving or investing. Of course understanding money helps women, families or business people work towards their goals and secure their financial well-being, but by being told you are bad at
BELIEVE YOURSELF: Confront money management with a smile. something isn’t necessarily the best way to encourage a woman to sharpen up on her financial literacy. A lot of financial dialogue can be pretentious and overwhelming, thus causing some women to become even more scared to approach the subject of money. It doesn’t have to be this way, however! For starters, just keep in mind these small positive steps and you’ll be on your
What if their lawyer is a lemon? Q. A year after we completed on our home purchase in Spain, we still have no You and the Statement of Account, invoice or surplus Law in Spain funds returned to us by our solicitor. By David Searl I have emailed him several times a week for six months but he responds to about every 10th one. When he does reply, he promises that it will all be dealt with by ‘next Monday,’ but the Mondays keep coming and going, with no resolution. On one occasion, he got us to drive all the way to his office. All he had was an envelope with some scribbled figures. He had no idea what was going on and I had to list out the transfers for him. Basically, I need to find a way to get this guy to conclude our dealings in a satisfactory manner and to return surplus monies. So, how can I do this? P.B. (e-mail) If your Spanish lawyer really turns out to be a ‘lemon,’ you have two options available. You can go directly to the ‘Colegio de Abogados,’ which is the Spanish version of the Law Society, with your complaint. Or you can instruct another solicitor. I recommend this second option. Do not be concerned that one lawyer will not go against another. First you need a new lawyer in any case. Second, you are far more likely to retrieve your papers and any money owed to you quickly. Send your questions for David Searl through lawyers Ubeda-Retana & Associates in Fuengirola at Ask@lawtaxspain.com, or call 952 667 090.
way to a more confident financial you. Get started - Don’t let financial jargon frighten you. Set a plan in action to address your money management. Budgets, saving, investing - sit down and put some ideas on papers. Getting started is the first step. Avoid unsolicited advice - The advice of family and friends is invaluable in certain instances, but that
doesn’t mean they are the best people to approach for financial advice. Find a financial advisor that you feel comfortable with or a knowledgeable friend or family member who can give you unbiased advice. Do it your way - Budgets and financial plans are not set in stone. Each person has different needs and therefore designing a budget or method of money management that
you are comfortable with is the most important part of building your financial know-how. If you don’t ask you don’t get - Never shy away from asking your boss for more money. If you are a hard worker and truly believe you deserve a raise then there is no harm in asking. Breathe - Managing your money, properly, for the first time can be tricky so don’t panic if you make some mistakes. Giving up is not going to help, so just ask for some help to see how to face the issues you are facing. Believe in yourself - If you enter any challenge lacking confidence in yourself it is going to take twice as long to overcome any obstacles you may face. Confront money management with a broad smile on your face and believe you have the capability to get money smart.
Importance of customer care in your business Talking shop Mike Walsh Mike Walsh was for 20 years Regional Assessment Manager for the Guild of Master Craftsmen, Britain’s biggest quality assurance body for businesses.
www.michaelwalsh.es • 966 786 932
BUSINESS owners pay much attention to the running of their business. The poor relation on the ‘Must Do’ tick box is often customer care. I was reminded of this when my wife and I were met by ice cold officiousness from a booking clerk as we explained our needs. She had her inner demons. We were, I suppose, in her cross-hairs that day. The staff member’s offhand attitude spoiled for us, and no doubt others, what is known as the customer experience. Of the many business maxims collected one of my favourites is: “If we get it right tell the world. If we get it wrong tell us.” Good business advice but it can be a tough call. It is often easier to avoid unpleasantness and take your business elsewhere. However, it costs seven times as much to attract a new client as to keep an existing one.
As a business owner it pays to strike up a good relationship with customers. It pays extra dividends if you encourage them to help your business by remarking candidly on their customer experience and then putting flaws right. Here are a few facts that focus on the importance of treating the boss (the customer) with friendliness and civility. According to 1st Financial Training Services 96 per cent of customers don’t complain when disappointed by poor service; 91 per cent simply never return. A dissatisfied customer will tell nine to 20 people of their bad experience. Happy clients, according to the White House Office of Consumer Affairs, will express their satisfaction to just four to six people. Marketing sources agree that 70 per cent of buying experiences are based on the customer’s perception of how they were treated. Believe it or not price is secondary. Customers who rate your business five on a nought to five scale are six times more likely to return than a customer who marks you four to five. If your business is quiet whilst rivals are busier, then lack of customer care could be the reason.
OPINION & COMMENT
Keep guns off the streets of Britain… I HAD seen this coming, as we can always count on Leapy Lee to rant on about dramatic events without ever offering any solution that could work. This time he has excelled himself. Hasn’t he seen the footage of the armed police presence in Ferguson, Missouri? Is that what he wants Britain to be like? A country with armed police or soldiers on every corner is not a free country, and I thought naively that a free country is what Leapy wants. Nobody should ignore the threat from Islamic extremists but dealing with them is the job of our intelligence services, and preventing radicalisation is everyone’s job. Stop demonising Muslims, get them involved in all levels of society. Leapy’s recipe would certainly increase the number of Muslims who despair of being truly accepted in Britain. It’s fortunate that his recipe has absolutely no chance of being adopted by the government, but his loose talk has quite enough bad effects. Please Leapy, we love you really, but don’t rant, don’t generalise, just think! Bill Campbell, Mojacar Playa (Almeria) Editor’s note: Leapy called for a special armed force of 100,000 to be formed to patrol UK streets to combat Islamic extremists.
Work provider I WAS glad to see that the Euro Weekly News has the insight to be able to solve the recession. Your article on ‘Dreambeach’ made me laugh. Just one look at the picture on the front cover of your last edition makes me want to vomit. Do you really think that organising events such as these help the local community and economy? You mentioned jobs for local people. What type of jobs? What type of contracts? These young party animals abound in the Mojacar area. But the sad truth is that I don’t see

Language hurdle I BOUGHT a washing machine in September 2011 for €229 and paid on the advice of the sales lady a further €40 to extend the warranty to 2014. The machine failed totally in July 2014 and I requested a full refund but was told to contact the store’s insurance company. The assistance I received was totally unhelpful and a telephone number I was given has been useless as I am always informed that no English-speaking person was available. At least six emails have been to no avail and the store itself is completely unhelpful. I would be very grateful, if through your paper you could make your readers aware that customer service often falls very short of what most customers would expect. Roy Phillips, Torrevieja (Alicante)

them contribute to the local economy. Yes, they do create jobs as someone needs to clean up after them. Someone needs to repair the trail of damage they leave in their wake. Extra police are called in to keep order when they are at play. These are jobs, yes, but they are paid for from our pockets in the form of tax. Personally, I would prefer to pay that tax just to keep them away. Sean O’Connell (by email)

Flour remedy A FEW days ago I reached out for my hot iron without looking, missed the handle and grabbed the base. The pain was immense. I rushed to the pantry and thrust my hand into a bag of flour, squeezing my burnt fingers as advised in your newspaper. After a few moments all was tenderness and, as your correspondent stated, no blisters, no red marks, no pain!

YOUR photo of rubbish at Cabo Roig is only the tip of the iceberg.

The real thing I MUST respond to Flora Simmons’ letter ‘No Bargain’ which appeared in response to my letter in the previous edition. My comments regarding people buying fake polo shirts from the Looky-Looky men was written from their point of view i.e. the shirts are perfect to them at around €15, rather than an extortionate €85. As for my not knowing the difference between the fakes and the real thing, quite right: I don’t own either. And is Ms Simmons seriously saying that the ‘real’ shirts aren’t made in sweatshops on the other side of the world? Richard Franklyn, Benalmadena (Malaga)

LL this PC and racist rubbish really has to stop. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and looks like a duck, it’s highly likely it could actually be a duck. If you’ve got frizzy hair a broad nose and thick lips you are probably of African descent. If you have slanted eyes and a round face, you could well have connections with China, Japan or certain other Asian origins. If you are white with a narrow nose and round eyes you are likely to be from Europe or some western civilization. These dammed PC and racist ranters have actually managed to get millions of us denying our very existence. All of us are exactly the same on the inside; we have just evolved differently on the out, generally because of the wide assortment of environments that exist on this planet of ours. All these interfering PC
LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT pillocks are using the insecurity and immaturity of vast numbers of people to create racial hatred where it never existed before. ‘Paki’ was not considered a derogatory expression, until they decided it was. It was merely a more convenient shortening of the word Pakistani. The description of Jap is the same, as is Brit. What we all need to do is grow up. There was no racism intended when the Black and White Minstrels made themselves up for a bit of fun. Many Japanese and Chinese carnival participants paint their faces white. The golly on the jar of marmalade was merely a black doll, nothing more, nothing less; rather flattering really. The people
BLACK OR WHITE: There is no difference on the inside. who make these decisions are in fact the biggest bigoted racists of all. The whole lot of these sponging trouble-makers should be fired and their interfering, public money
financed organisations, closed down for good. If they are allowed to continue unabated, I dread to think where it will all end. Probably with the banning of the words black and white altogether. Just a
minute, hasn’t that already begun? Is it not, in some circles, already frowned upon to ask for a black or white coffee? With or without milk is I understand now the more acceptable term. Give us a break! The recent vomit-inducing events in Rotherham are a prime example of the alarming events that can occur as a result of these interfering and highly dangerous PC committees. Bunches of busybodies, which fester in our societies like uncontrollable tumours. Well it’s high time they were all stopped in their tracks. If they are not, we’ll all be at each other’s throats for simply existing at all. What do ya mean, we already are? Never mind. Chins up everyone. It’ll be a brighter day tomorrow!

Tax Reforms Affecting Rental Income The Spanish government has proposed fiscal reforms which could affect the rental market. Note that these are being debated by parliament, and may change before being approved or may not pass into law at all. The proposals are that, with effect from 1st January 2015: • The tax reduction which was previously available for purchasing a new build will be removed. • The VAT rate on new builds will be raised from 4% to 10%. • The tax exemption available to landlords to be reduced. Where the tenant is aged over 30, the exemption would reduce from 60% to 50%, where the tenant is under 30, to reduce from 100% to 50%. However, this proposal has not made it into the draft laws to be placed before parliament. • Inflation relief for properties purchased before 1994 will be eliminated.
By Brett Hanson, Partner, Blevins Franks
There were rumours that the main home, second home and others would be taxed on the basis that they were deemed to be turning over rental income even if they were not. It seems, however, that this measure will not be put into place after all. It was proposed in the Spanish tax law reform that the main home exemption from capital gains tax will be withdrawn, but the draft law
based on this does not include this measure. There is an interesting new proposal in the reform to be laid before parliament that all taxpayers over age 65 will not be liable to capital gains tax on any assets, provided they use the proceeds to purchase an annuity to supplement pension income. The potential changes affect the tax paid on rental income and the capital gains tax due on properties purchased before 1994 if sold after 1st January 2015. If you are resident in Spain and considering selling UK property which you have owned for many years, you have a window of opportunity to save tax. You could take advantage of the current lack of UK taxation for non-UK residents (this changes from April 2015), plus the availability of the Spanish reliefs for length of ownership, to maximise your gains at a minimum of tax if you sell before January
2015. If you are looking to sell a longterm Spanish property, consider doing so before January 2015. Spanish residents over the age of 65 who are considering selling assets and would like to invest in some form of annuity may wish to wait until the new laws come into force. If selling a UK property, you may wish to sell between 1st January and 5th April 2015 to avoid tax on the gain. Anyone who owns and rents out UK property and pays no UK tax on their rental income because of the UK personal tax allowance, and little tax in Spain because of the 60% exemption, may wish to reconsider their positions. As the UK government is proposing to remove the personal allowance for non-residents (unless they have strong economic connections to the UK), this may result in a higher UK income tax liability. Now could be an opportune time to sell a property
to minimise capital gains tax. Those looking to purchase a property would be better off entering into the contract before the end of 2014. Remember that you need to consider the interaction between Spanish and UK tax to determine what your tax liability would be and what would be the best course of action for you. Seek specialist, personalised advice for your situation. Tax rates, scope and reliefs may change. Any statements concerning taxation are based upon our understanding of current taxation laws and practices which are subject to change. Tax information has been summarised; an individual should take personalised advice.

A history of false flag operations Mike Walsh Mike, based in Mediterranean Spain, is an international journalist, author and professional writer.

HEN the Malayan airliner MH17 carrying 298 passengers was destroyed, there was comfort from knowing that the flight recorders would be analysed in the incorruptible West. In light of subsequent Dutch refusal to release the flight recorder’s data and shillyshally over release of support data held by Kiev and the United States, the flight recorders might just as well have been sent to North Korea. Happily, flight recorders provide only a jigsaw piece in such tragedies. Almost certainly the US-installed Ukrainian puppet regime was responsible and the US and EU are complicit in this awful crime. With the war going badly Kiev desperately needed a reason to demonise Russia to justify a NATO response. If blame for the MH17 calamity could be pinned on Russia then both prayers would be answered. False Flag operations are acts of
MAINE 1898: The US battleship sank.
war carried out by covert forces to justify conflict. America and Britain have a long and disgraceful history of arranging such operations. The sinking of the Maine, a US battleship in 1898 was never a Spanish provocation. The on-board explosion was an act of sabotage. The subsequent US conspired war soon relieved Spain of Guam, the Philippines and Cuba.
The Gulf of Tonkin incident, in which American warships were ‘attacked’ by the Vietnamese, was later revealed to be a US inspired operation. The bogus outrage brought about the highly profitable Vietnam War. The passenger liner Lusitania was torpedoed in 1915 after the US consul was sneakily informed that arms valued at £6 million had been illicitly loaded. This removed the ship’s neutral status. The subsequent loss of 1,200 passengers
including 128 American citizens, brought the US into the profitable World War One. In September 1939 British liner Athenia was torpedoed with similar loss of British and US life. This inspired ruse to bring the US into the war failed to get the backing of the American people. Opportunity for America to join in the spoils of war was delayed. The later Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour was instigated by US Naval Intelligence. Drawing up an eight point plan to sanction Japan into oblivion, the Japanese responded by fighting their way out of the US trade embargo corner. Due to its defensive alliance, Germany was obliged to side with Japan. Their doing so conveniently brought the US into World War Two. Wars are profitable: The US spent $2 trillion (€1.51 trillion) on the Iraq War, 90 per cent of which profits went to 1 per cent of the US population, mostly located in Congress, the Senate and America’s elite. Senators who voted to attack Syria received 83 per cent more campaign money from military contractors than did those lawmakers voting no. Sadly, the downed Malayan airliner is merely the latest in a long list of False Flag operations.

OPINION & COMMENT
J
ANE POOLE, from SPC International Real Estate, has been in Spain for 25 years and has seen a lot of changes for the good in terms of equality for women. “Things like working as a notary were mainly done just by men but now there are a lot of female notaries and lawyers so in that respect women have become freer,” she said, adding: “I think a lot of it is down to the woman herself, and attitudes have changed as many women have to work. The only thing I do think Spain is at fault with now is the new law on abortion, which is a backward step for the country and women.” Gabrielle Discher, owner of Country Life health food store in Benissa, does not believe that Spain as a whole can be classed as backward in women’s rights. “As always, it is just the view of a few. Spain is now much more open-minded. I personally have never felt mistreated or been in a situation where I have felt inequality against women,” she remarked. But Matt Shatford of Weekend Sport, Vera Playa, said: “Yes, I think Spain is behind the times sometimes with regards to equality but that tends to be the older men who are stuck in their ways. The younger groups are completely the other way and much more respectful of women and equality so I think things are definitely improving.” And Lynda ‘Loulou’ Barnes, of Loulou’s Hair Design in Velez Rubio, said:

Spain not so in the Dark Ages THE question of equality of the sexes has raised its head with several Spanish politicians being accused of a Dark Ages mentality towards women. Do you think Spain is backward when it comes to women’s rights or is it no worse than anywhere else? What can be done to improve equality?

“I’ve had no experience of being treated as less of an equal here in Spain. If anything it was worse in the UK. Certainly no examples come to mind. I feel more respected here than the UK and am treated more like a lady.” Paula Read-Kenny of Sophia’s Wellness Centre in Arboleas agreed. “I have not found it to be a problem. But then I think that if you give a good account of yourself and prove your own worth, it is never an issue,” she said.

YOU haven’t been able to move recently for press ads urging us to visit this or that hot city, this or that hot beach resort. Yes, we’ve been bombarded on all sides by images of scantily dressed women and unrealistically smiling family groups trying to turn current concerns - the recession, the UK’s late-summer blustery weather, mother-in-law’s annual visit - into sun-drenched bliss. But hey, now there’s an alternative if you’re looking for a late summer break and a bit of travel one-upmanship! And just think of all those ‘triffic’ photos you’ll be able to upload on your return on Facebook!
SUMMER BREAK: All things considered, I’d rather stay in Spain. While Foreign Office advice puts Crimean War battleground tours off-limits to ordinary travellers, optimistic firms are already offering tourists in Ukraine the chance to visit the modern-day war zones. Adverts for trips have appeared in areas frequented by tourists, containing phrases like “Impress your friends with the ultimate selfies” and “see where the fighting’s actually
taking place.” Unbelievable! Or how about a trip to Afghanistan, Iraq or Algeria? All available to visit by intrepid tourists courtesy of gung-ho tour companies, though finding adequate travel insurance might be a problem and bullet-proof vests definitely recommended. Alternatively, you could check out charming Chernobyl (tours offered inside the 30-mile
exclusion zone around the site, avoiding still-dangerous areas). But hang on! Visiting Iraq, Siberia and so on is so last year; it’s like the Michael Kors statement handbag of tourism. Why think only of war zones or the developing world for that buzz of holiday excitement? There’s a country much closer that may seem a very safe destination but statistics show otherwise
unfortunately. The USA. The United States has the highest gun ownership rate in the world and the highest per capita rate of firearm-related murders of all developed countries. The number of guns has increased by more than 60 per cent since 1994: 310 million guns in a country of 307 million people more than one gun per person. And where, recently, a nineyear-old girl accidentally killed a gun instructor as he showed her how to use an Uzi at a shooting range in Arizona. Sub-machine gun? Nine-year-old? What was she even doing there? So where will you be spending a late summer break?

A weekly look - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene
P
OLITICAL soul mates Mariano Rajoy and Angela Merkel had a holiday lovein, with the German chancellor promising to back Spain wherever possible. That includes easing Spain’s Economy minister Luis de Guindos into the Eurogroup presidency, as the government has long felt that it is under-represented in Brussels. De Guindos, Merkel said, was an excellent Economy minister at a difficult time. De Guindos, of course, is used to enduring hard times as he headed Lehman Brothers’ operations in Spain and Portugal. We all know what happened to Lehman Brothers in 2008 as we
are still enduring the fallout from that bank’s collapse.
Money and murder LIKE other European countries Spain unofficially pays ransom to release its nationals held hostage by terrorist groups. When journalists Javier Espinosa and Ricardo Garcia Vilanova, captured in northern Syria in September 2013, were released last March the Spanish government said nothing about how their freedom was obtained. Answer no questions and tell no lies, was the implicit message.
In contrast, the UK and the US refuse to pay ransom, hence the avoidable death of the American journalist James Foley at the hands of ISIS. Possibly both countries’ firmness of purpose should be applauded, but whichever path a government takes it will still play into the extremists’ hands. If ISIS gets the money this funds further operations although money is the least of their worries, considering some of their other sources. If it doesn’t, they will happily butcher a heathen hostage, all for the glory of God, in a blaze of publicity. Money or murder: it’s all the same to them.
Payback time
TOMAS GOMEZ, secretary general of the PSOE party in the Madrid region is likely to run as city mayor in next year’s municipal elections. Not everyone within the party has felt comfortable in Gomez’s presence, least of all the former president Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero or Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba. Gomez challenged them both, but unblinkingly and unhesitatingly backed the new national secretary general, Pedro Sanchez. So now it’s time to call in the marker and give Gomez his due. SOUL MATES: Merkel and Rajoy.

Unwanted attentions KALE BORROKA, or street fighting, is urban guerrilla action indulged in by radical young nationalists in the Basque region. Pro-ETA and belonging to the abertzale extreme left, they not long ago burnt five buses in the Loiu (Vizcaya), demanding the transfer of ETA prisoners to the Basque region and the release of those who are ill. The Basque separatist group still exists but announced a ceasefire three years ago and according to police in the Basque region, the latest kale borroka action lacks ‘social support.’ And their intelligence confirms that ETA is not planning a return to violence, they said. Even the Sortu separatist nationalist party condemned the busburnings. With friends like that, who needs enemies?

Born to be not so free
UIS and CJ Munoz are the husband and wife team who represent the international Campaign Against Canned Hunting (CACH) in Spain. A few weeks ago they received an email from a colleague in South Africa bearing the mysterious heading, “Over to you.” CJ speaking exclusively to Euro News Weekly, unravels a tale of unbearable cruelty, kindness, cuteness and hope. “We received an email from CACH colleague Linda Park, in South Africa pointing us to the Facebook page ‘Volunteers in Africa Beware’ that had a compelling story. It all started when a photograph of four young men on holiday at the Terra Mítica adventure park in Benidorm was posted on the social media site,” CJ reported. The photograph that provoked the ire of the internet showed the four smiling lads holding a small, obviously stressed lion cub. The owner, a Spanish woman, was using not just one, but two lion cubs to lure tourists into having a photograph taken and then charging them €10 per photograph. Comments on social media poured in, denigrating the owner for her treatment of the cubs, particularly the accusation that she deliberately kept them small by keeping them on a diet of milk. Her rationale being the smaller, the cuter, the more tourist snaps. A fair bit of detective work later CJ and Luis had identified the park the photo had been taken in and from there a road trip from their Madrid home to Benidorm was undertaken. Luis says, “We contacted Guardia Civil Seprona, (the Spanish Special Police Service for the protection of Nature), and they quickly responded. They found the owner who had some papers indicating that she had purchased the cubs from a circus in France, but as she had no birth certificates for the cubs proving they were born in captivity, Seprona impounded the cubs.” The owner was told the cubs would be returned to her if she could produce the rest of the papers required. Oddly enough,
NEW HOME: The cubs will be transported to South Africa. RESCUED: The cubs received expert medical care. she gave up her rights of ownership before the case came to court and Seprona placed the cubs in the care of the Raul Merida Sanctuary in Alicante. After a bout of bureaucratic juggling, CJ and Luis were rewarded with a remarkable stroke of luck. They were awarded custody of the cubs and allowed to take them back to Madrid for medical treatment and their long path back to rehabilitation. In Madrid they were fortunate to be introduced to the highly experienced wildlife veterinarian Doctor Debra McCauley, who set about diagnosing the cubs’ ailments and providing expert medical care.
Desperate to find a permanent home for the cubs in Europe, CJ and Luis approached various organisations for help. Unfortunately there are more lions and tigers waiting to be rescued than places in Europe able to take them. So the search widened worldwide. Eventually discussions with the famous ‘Lion whisperer,’ Kevin Richardson took place and so enamoured was he with the cubs that Kevin offered them a permanent home at his 1,300 hectare lion sanctuary in Dinokeng, South Africa. As Euro Weekly News pet owners will be aware, the trials and tribulations involved in getting the correct paperwork and transportation for domestic
pets from the UK to Spain is fraught with difficulties, imagine for a moment the complexity and costs of transporting two young lion cubs from Madrid to Johannesburg. Vaccinations, clearances, permits for both export and import, import and transport permits for South Africa, veterinary certificates and so on. Then there are the logistics. Nobody flies direct from Spain to South Africa since the crises and the cubs will have to be flown from one of Europe’s northern hubs, London, Frankfurt or Amsterdam, although Luis is investigating possible direct flights from Cairo, Egypt. Most importantly the cubs
who are reckoned to be only three-and-a-half-months old need to be transported in a smooth and stress-free environment. The rescue of the cubs has been done on a voluntary basis by CJ and Luis at considerable personal expense. Naturally more money will be required to cover the remaining medical treatment, care, feeding and of course transportation. A fundraising page has been set up to contribute towards the costs, already roughly €5,000 has been raised, nearly half way to the €12,000 target. As CJ and Luis’s colleague in South Africa said, “Over to You.”

Visit from the far side? A COUPLE from Cadiz out walking their dog in a nearby forest encountered something in the night-time sky that has caused some controversy. A two-minute video appears to show what could be a UFO buzzing around the night sky. Naturally those with a healthy dose of scepticism explain away the phenomenon as being tricks of light, drones and toy helicopters. The couple appear to be quite normal and dumbfounded by the experience; the wife suggests it was a satellite, only for her husband, Jose, to dismiss the idea. Perhaps the most compelling evidence of their eerie experience is the sound of their obviously distressed dog. In the age of smartphone technology and HD cameras, this is merely the latest video of unexplained flying objects to appear over Spain. None, however, has matched the perplexity of the Manises UFO
UFO: Numerous sightings over Spain have been recorded on video. case in 1979, when for the first time in history a commercial flight was forced to make an emergency landing because of a UFO. Flight JK-297 from Salzburg to Las Palmas was forced to take evasive measures to avoid a fast-moving object with red
lights, half a kilometre away. As the airplane landed, three new UFO signals were detected by local radar, each one with an estimated diameter of 200 metres. A Mirage F-1 was scrambled to identify the inexplicable phenomenon. The pilot had to
increase his speed to mach 1.4 to gain visual contact with what he saw as a cone-shaped object displaying bright colours. When the pilot closed in on the object, it responded by accelerating and took off again. The pilot in hot pursuit mysteriously had his avionics
scrambled. After a 90-minute pursuit, fearing fuel loss, the pilot was forced to return to base. Questions were asked about the incident in the Spanish Parliament; an official explanation dismissed the notion of UFO sightings, claiming the phenomenon was a freak optical illusion. The official Air Force report was classified until 1994. The avionic difficulties experienced by the fighter were not mentioned in the official Air Force report. The pilot denied suggestions that his equipment had been jammed by the US Navy sixth fleet stationed in the Mediterranean, claiming it was too far away and his instruments were only jammed when he attempted to track the UFO with an infrared homing missile.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Non-communication is a worrying thing. You sent out a message some time ago that remains unanswered, so to save yourself agonies, why not telephone? Perhaps you hesitate because of a rejection in the past. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Having put out feelers for something to do in the summer evenings, it now seems that you are spoiled for choice. Go for new experiences first and the tried and tested later. AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) A door fleetingly opens in front of you and you see something desirable. After the door has closed you still see the image. Why do you deny what you need when it is so easily possible for you to attain it? Reach out this week in the right direction and keep moving forward. .

FLIKR BY El Hormiguero
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) It may be that you hesitate when offered an opportunity, not necessarily because you think that you are not up to it. The problem may be that you are aware that there are social aspects, and perhaps you feel unable to cope with too much attention at one time. Life busy enough?

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) It may be a bit scary doing something different - you are a strong person, but unused to entering into new experiences. Consider how you would have approached this situation 20 years ago; have you really changed? Are you not the same person? Try to gain a new experience every week. .

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) As you know what you want, it should be a simple thing to devise a method of getting it. But you may need a little expert help and lots of determination. Younger people turn out to be most useful in this respect and treat the whole thing as a game.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) It is always difficult for you to stand by and see others make glaring mistakes, especially a family member. However, there are times when it is important that people work things out for themselves. It is only then that a lesson is truly taken on board.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) A surprise visit or phone call this week takes your mind back into the past. Perhaps something that you did not fully understand is now explained. Although, there may be elements that you find upsetting midweek, it is important to realise that some things come your way for a good reason.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Doing what is 'right' comes easily to you, but this week throws up a strange situation, and this time doing what is 'right' could have the wrong result. I do hope that doesn't sound confusing, because it is not meant to be. To get the outcome that you desire it may be necessary for you to withhold some information.
September 6: Karlos Arguiñano. TV chef. This Spanish chef shot to fame in the early 1990’s as one of Spain’s first celebrity chefs. He even won a TP de oro (equivalent of a Bafta TV award) for being the 1992 year’s revelation act. He has a programme on Antena 3 and has participated in several films and brought out about 20 books.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) It is hard to fit into a situation this week - you thought nothing of putting yourself in a certain position, but now that you are there you see the problem. You are not so much out of place, as feeling rather awkward. Why? This is a new experience for you, and you are unused to new places. LEO (July 24 - August 23) A recently-accepted project seems to be running away with itself - did you volunteer to do something small and find out that it is a big task? Never mind, because you are quite able to ask for help, and in doing so you could meet someone who will be very important to you. Do I have your interest now?

TOP TEN STRANGE LEGACIES
SPONSORED BY For solutions: http://www.euroweeklynews.com/puzzle-answers.html
Some people, and even places, have left legacies in the strangest ways and are remembered long after their demise for things which must have seemed unimportant at the time - here is a list of 10 people, and places, whose names were immortalised in the oddest of ways. 1. The leotard Jean Marie Jules Leotard was a French lawyer turned gymnast who invented the trapeze by stringing two ropes and hanging a bar between them but he wasn’t remembered for this. In order to perform acrobatics and swing on this new invention he needed clothes that would not tangle in the ropes and the form-fitting leotard was born. 2. Bluetooth technology In the late 1990’s several tech companies all clubbed together and decided to use just one technology to allow all their different devices to communicate with each other. They named this new technology Bluetooth after a famous Viking, called Blatand or Bluetooth, because he had formed many alliances and connections all over the Arctic Circle and brought together many different tribes of the area. 3. Big Bertha These artillery pieces were known to be the biggest and most powerful of their time (First World War) sometimes propelling shells weighing up to 950 kilos. They were named after Bertha von Bohlen who was the head of the German arms manufacturing company, Krupp.
Leotard invented by gymnast.

7. Geronimo as a war cry Indian chief Geronimo was known among his people for his staunch defence of his homelands against the American troops. Thanks to a 1939 film, Geronimo, his name became inextricably linked with bravery and became something that paratroopers would shout on their way out the door of a plane. This then spread to popular culture and stuck.

BRITISH historical novelist Philippa Gregory, bestselling author of The Other Boleyn Girl and The White Princess brings readers the compelling story of Margaret Pole, daughter of George, Duke of Clarence, and one of the few surviving members of the Plantagenet dynasty, which ruled England for over three hundred years, from 1154 until 1485 and provided the country
with 14 of its kings. Released in 2004, this captivating story opens in 1499. England is ruled by Henry VII, who has two sons with Elizabeth of York. While this should secure his line, the court is filled to the brim with fear, suspicion and betrayal. Plantagenet is a perilous name to carry and heiress Margaret Pole is married off to a loyal Tudor supporter. However, her brother Edward’s claim just

8. Balaclava During the Crimean War in 1854 the British soldiers were so cold that they started to fashion knitted goods to cover not just the top of their heads but their faces and these became known as Balaclava helmets after the region. They still exist today for everyone from bank robbers to skiers. 9. Field Marshal Fitzroy Somerset Somerset was the first Baron Raglan and lost an arm at the Battle of Waterloo which led him to request that his tailors make his shirts with the sleeves sewn separately and, often, reaching all the way to the neckline. The design eventually became known as Raglan sleeves which are very popular in a lot of modern sporting wear. 10. Molotov cocktails During the Winter War between the Soviet Union and Finland the Soviet minister, Vyacheslav Molotov, used propaganda to say the airforce was dropping humanitarian aid to the starving Finnish people. In fact they were being bombed. The Finnish, being low on weaponry but high on anger, then invented the bottle filled with petrol to throw at the Soviet troops, apparently, for them to have ‘something to drink’ with the ‘food parcels.’ The name stuck and is still being used today.

They can be adjacent horizontally, vertically or diagonally. Words must contain at least four letters and may include singular and plural or other derived forms.

Obesity leading cause of life-threatening diseases MORE than 65 million adults and 10 million children around the world suffer from obesity. It is no secret that morbid obesity is one of the leading causes of dangerous diseases, but what are some of the most common obesityrelated conditions? High blood pressure and obesity usually rank high on the list of life-threatening problems resulting from an excess of body fat. High blood pressure is the main cause of death among people older than 25, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO). Data show that approximately 75 million people suffer from hypertension or high blood pressure. Weight gain is known to increase blood pressure and research has shown that obese patients usually display an increase in

Asthma makes it difficult A DANISH study has concluded that women with asthma find it more difficult to get pregnant. Researchers analysed data from over 15,000 women and overall, it took women with asthma 21.6 per cent longer to conceive compared with those without asthma. Twenty-seven per cent of asthmatics found it took them over a year to fall pregnant. Researchers at the Bispebjerg University Hospital said: “Our assumption is asthma in the lower airways can simultaneously cause inflammation in the womb which, if not treated correctly, can inhibit normal implantation of the fertilised eggs.”

Spain on a plate: Almeria THE gastronomy in the province of Almeria, Andalucia, is, as well as their own original dishes, a mixture of influences from the Granada Alpujarra region and the Murcia kitchen. One of the most popular dishes which is also served as a tapa in the bars is Jibia en salsa (cuttlefish in sauce). The cuttlefish is usually either boiled or grilled lightly and the sauce is made with a strong saffron influence and the juices from the fish - simple but very tasty. It is usually garnished with vegetables which have been boiled in the sauce to make them tastier. Caballa con pimientos (mackerel with peppers) is another typical dish of the area and, as the name suggests, it consists of lightly grilled mackerel, just seasoned with salt, and roasted peppers with a very light yet full flavoured wine reduction sauce. Cazon en adobo (marinated
SAUSAGES IN WINE: One of the best tapas in Almeria. dogfish) is one of the region’s favourite tapas and is just simply dogfish which has been marinated in a mix of vinegar, saffron, oregano, paprika, salt and water. Just leave for a few hours then coat it with flour and deep fry. Serve with a lemon wedge or a little of the left over marinade. Salchichas al vino (sausages in
wine) is another tapas bar favourite. This is sausages fried in olive oil and when they are nearly done onions and other vegetables are thrown in to absorb the flavour of the meat juices coming off the sausages and topped off with a healthy dash of wine reduce and serve. Just remember to start off with good quality sausages.
Did you know? EVERYONE knows cutting onions makes them cry but do they know it is a chemical reaction that happens when the inside of an onion is exposed to oxygen? Do people who hate Brussels sprouts know that they have a genetic predisposition to hate them which is found in one in every five adults? Here are a few other food facts that are not commonly known. Cranberries could be used to play handball. Cranberries have also been called bounceberries as when they are ripe they bounce just like rubber balls.
Red sweets are dyed with crushed up red insects like the cochineal beetle. Scientists have found an apple, lemon juice, spinach, green tea, parsley and mint are among the best remedies to get rid of offensive garlic breath. The average ear of corn has an even number of rows - usually 16. Most Wasabi is not Wasabi but coloured horseradish. Apples, pears and plums all belong to the rose family. In Brazil one of the most popular pizza toppings is green peas.
Kitchen hacks to make life much easier THERE are several short cuts that can make life in the kitchen so much easier to deal with and they don’t even require very much effort. Here are some of the most useful. Peel a few large pieces of fresh ginger and break them into one inch square cubes then just place them in the freezer and take out as required. They can be grated from frozen to cut down on the amount of juice that they usually lose. Keep onions and garlic fresh by placing them in opaque paper bags with plenty of air holes punched in. If kept in plastic bags they will go mouldy within weeks the punched holes in the paper bags allow air to circulate and keep them fresh for months.
FRESH ONIONS: Keep in a paper bag. To prevent an open avocado from going brown either keep the stone in it or pour a capful of wine vinegar over the cut surface of the avocado - this reduces oxidation which is what makes it go brown. Get perfectly shredded chicken without a fuss or
scorched fingers by putting it in the food mixer - just remember to use the paddle attachment and not the cutting knives. After making mayonnaise, save leftover egg whites by pouring them into ice cube trays to be used at a later date.

No to bottled water WHEN did we all become so scared of drinking tap water? Why do so many people think that the water which flows from taps is dirty and that the best water comes in plastic bottles from Mercadona? Basically the collective fear of tap water has been one of the most brilliant marketing strategies of recent history. Out of thin air the marketing gurus created a whole new market for a product that everyone was already getting at just a fraction of the price. Europeans consume around 36.3 billion litres of bottled water every year - it is a massive industry. But according to industry estimates, approximately 40 per cent of all bottled water in Europe comes from city and municipal water reserves.

Construction led bankruptcy TWENTY-FIVE per cent of the companies that went into bankruptcy in the second quarter of 2014 were construction companies. According to recent data from the National Statistics Institute (INE), even though the number of companies that filed for bankruptcy between April and July dropped by 30 per cent, 25 per cent of them were construction companies and the sector has led bankruptcies in Spain for the last six years. Out of the 9,143 companies that went bankrupt in Spain in 2013, 2,430 were engaged in the construction sector. However, the number has declined when compared to 2012, when the number of companies closing was 2,487.

Challenge me! British home owner in Spain finds pet friendly family By Lamia Walker of HousesitMatch OCCASIONALLY I am approached with some interesting demands “We have several pets dogs, cats, hens - all rescued strays that need a watchful eye while we’re on holiday. Please find a sitter.” Well, I like a challenge! How can I do this you ask? Easy. I run a friendly network called HouseSitMatch.com that recruits from pools of pet professionals, experienced sitters, and collaborative home and pet owners who are happy to network. We meet online, we register, present our situation in a Profile and don’t actually connect until we learn about
each other and feel safe. There are checks and references you make, and as an owner you choose who comes to care for your pets once you are ready. Contact details are hidden. You reveal them to your chosen sitter. So who have we helped? Some of our owners include: Donnie from Almeria (two horses, two dogs and one cat); Derek and Jenni near Fuengirola (one cat!). Can I help you as an owner, or would you like to become a sitter?

Training for agility…
David THE Dogman
Listen to David on TRE every Saturday 10am to 11am Costa del Sol (Gibraltar/Sotogrande) 98.7fm (San Roque to Calahonda) 91.9fm (Calahonda to Motril) 88.9, Costa Calida 92.7fm Costa Blanca (Torrevieja to Elche) 105.1fm (Elche to Calpe) 88.2fm, (Calpe to Gandia & Ibiza) 104.6fm, (Denia to Valencia) 95.3fm Mallorca 103.9fm
HERE David gives some more advice on agility training for dogs. THE first contact obstacle will be the Scale or ‘A’ Frame and is best for the beginner dog, although many handlers will not believe this when they see the height is two metres. It is wide and a lot more formidable than a dog walk plank, which is also excellent for training beginner dogs. There will also be low jumps and a tunnel which dogs seem to love. Control training is needed to get from one obstacle to another and as the young dogs progress we start to teach different commands to turn the
AGILITY TRAINING: Obstacles are excellent for beginner dogs. dog to the left and right. A very important exercise for any dog is the ‘down’ and the wait. Another important exercise is the ‘send away’ to send the dog ahead of the handler. An easy way to teach the dog the send away is to hold your dog and get someone to put his food on one side of the room, then send the dog to his food from increasing distances away.
You and your dog can have fun with agility if it is timed correctly and provided you and your dog are ready to progress. In my opinion it is important to remember that a dog that is happy and enjoying himself, is much more likely to try hard to please his owner, than one who is afraid he is going to get told off for a mistake.

striking, premium quality seven-seat SUV with worldleading safety features, new powertrain technologies, an unrivalled combination of power and fuel efficiency and a superlative interior finish. Three years in the making and part of an €8.34 billion investment programme, the new XC90 marks the beginning of a new chapter in Volvo’s history, capturing its future design direction, incorporating its own range of new technologies and utilising its new Scalable Product Architecture (SPA)
technology. “This is one of the most important days in our history. We are not just launching a car, but relaunching our brand. This day marks a new era. The XC90 paves the way for a portfolio of exciting new cars to come in the future,” said Håkan Samuelsson, President and CEO of Volvo Car Group. The car will be the first from Volvo to carry the company’s new, more prominent, iron mark, which has the iconic arrow aligned with the diagonal slash across the grille.
Together with the Tshaped Thor’s Hammer DRL lights, the iron mark introduces a new, distinctive and confident face for Volvo’s forthcoming generation of cars. The XC90’s larger bonnet with its new topography, the beltline and the sharpened shoulders connecting with the tattoolike, new rear lights are other important design signatures that will be mirrored across the range. To add more visual muscle from the sides, the XC90 comes with a range of wheel sizes up to 22”.
