PHASING OUT

WITH the majority of Spain now having entered Phase 2 of deescalation it is still very surprising to find t h a t t h e s t re e t s a re re l a t i v e l y q u i e t a n d the businesses that have decided to move ahead and reopen are still not receiving the custom we may have expected. Although people have been very vocal about expressing their need to get out in the streets and return to the bars and coffee shops on social media, now there seems to be some reluctance. It is understandable that residents may have some fears as to what they face outside, but many businesses have gone through extra planning and expense to

Whether it be marking out spaces to allow social distancing, removing tables to create space, supplying sanitary products or retraining staff on new health standards, they have gone to this extra trouble not only to

keep their livelihoods going but also to welcome you, the public, back to the places you enjoyed eating with your family, having a coffee and a chat with friends or enjoyed taking the children for a day out. Many beaches are now open, you would think that in itself would

have people sprinting from the homes that have imprisoned them the last couple of months, straight for the sea and the sun. Surely that’s one of the main reasons why expats have decided to relocate to Spain, chasing the sun, the relaxed Spanish lifestyle of enjoy-

ing things outdoors, tapas, paella, relaxing

on the beach, things you won’t find at home. We need to trust in the Health Ministry who have said it is now a safe time for us to leave our homes. We need to give business owners hope and reassurance that their café, restaurant, bar, shop etc will succeed. So let’s get out there and show our support and start to return to a normal life. Let’s appreciate everything we moved to this beautiful country for.

One step beyond

BACK TO THE BEACH: Bathers can access the beach but should continue social distancing. AS of Monday, June 1, m a n y m o re a re a s o f Spain have been able to enjoy taking the next step into Phase Two of the countr y’s lockdown easing plan. In these regions, the rate of infection of the virus has now dropped to within the criteria

that allow further progression through the phase system. Spanish Health Minister Salvador Illa announced the good news last Thursday evening, which was a day earlier than planned. This means many rules have relaxed for resi-

dents in these areas, allowing for a continued move towards a normal life. Although these restrictions have eased off, it is important to note that these activities must still be partaken in your own province, unless for work reasons. Shops may now open to 40 per cent capacity and shopping centres have been able to open for the first time since isolation, but with lower capacity in any areas deemed as communal. Bars and restaurants that had opened but could only use terraces can now invite customers inside as long as they stick to 50 per cent capacity and there is no bar service. Social contact has now been stretched to allow groups of 15 to meet together. However, this does still exclude anybody classed as being vulnerable, elderly or underlying health issues.

When it comes to exercise residents no longer need to follow the previous timetable. But, slots of time allocated for the vulnerable should still be adhered to. For the vast majority of people, the news that they can now go to the beach for bathing will be one of the most exciting changes. Swimming pools are also open to 30 per cent capacity and exercise gyms can open for one to one classes by appointment only, these should not include contact sports. Cinemas and theatres have reopened with reduced seating to allow for social distancing measures. As have churches which can welcome up to 50 per cent capacity. In a further move that may bolster the tourism sector hotels have been able to open communal areas but have to respect certain capacity restrictions.

AS you may be aware, negotiations are continuing on the UK’s exit from the EU and some of you have asked what that means for you as UK nationals living in Spain. Please remember that citizens’ rights are already protected by the Withdrawal Agreement, which was ratified by the UK and the EU in January. This guarantees your rights and means that as long as you are legally resident here by the end of 2020: You will be able to continue to live and work in Spain. UK state pensioners will continue to have lifelong healthcare access as long as they remain living in Spain (this also applies to residents who claim a UK state pension in the future) and your UK state pension will continue to be uprated. Therefore, our key message remains to reg-

ister as a resident as soon as you are able. Many of you have contacted us to ask when residency appointments will be available again, given the recent coronavirus lockdown. We understand that in those provinces that have now moved into Phase 2 or 3 of the Spanish government’s de-escalation plan, some offices are opening a limited number of appointments. However, many may not have their appointment systems back up and running yet. You should keep checking the Spanish Public Administration portal (https://sede.ad ministracionespublicas.g ob.es/icpplus/index.html) to see if appointments are available in your area. You may need to be patient as provinces are lifting restrictions at different rates. Some of you have also

HMA Hugh Elliott said: “I know that because of the suspension of residency appointments during the State of Alarm, many UK nationals are concerned about their ability to obtain the correct documentation before December 31. I want to reassure people on two points.

“If you already have the green residency certificate, your core rights are protected and it remains a valid document, even after the end of the transition period. “If you don’t yet have your green residency certificate there is, likewise, no need for alarm. “We continue to advise people to get an appointment as soon as you can. However, as long as you are living in Spain and can prove you satisfy the legal conditions of residence (ie sufficient income and access to healthcare) by December 31, 2020, your rights are assured even if you are not able to get the physical document by the end of the year.” Another of our key messages continues to be to exchange your UK driving licence for a Spanish one.

The carrier will run services to the island every Friday, Saturday and Sunday until mid-September. Valencia airport will also be running links to Ibiza, as well as to Mallorca and Menorca, in addition to an extensive programme to the Canaries during the summer. Air Nostrum restarted inter-island services in the Balearics on May 24, bringing to an end a 56-day stretch of operating no flights at all due to the lockdown travel restrictions. The company has reported a gradually growing demand for seats, but said that average occupation still remains low at around one-third of capacity.

TORREVIEJA has stepped up spraying and protective measures against mosquitoes, after increasing reports about the pest across the city. Heavy rain in recent months led to water accumulating on property land as well as swimming pools not being maintained due to the State of Alarm measures. Any water is a good

breeding ground for the tiger mosquito, and many holiday homes did not see visitors at normally busy times like Easter because of the restrictions on travel. The salty marshlands by the lake in Torrevieja is a good fertile breeding ground for the mosquito, but recent reports have seen it strike in more urban parts of the city like El Acequión.

Better Surfaces IMPROVEMENTS to courts at the Pinar de Campoverde sports centre will be finished soon, after a delay caused by the State of Alarm restrictions. Pilar de la Horadada’s Infrastructure councillor, Rufino Lancharro, said that the project to resurface the four tennis courts and the indoor multipurpose court was very much back on track. With a budget of just under €170,000 the courts will have high quality surfacing for users to enjoy. The synthetic resin surface is at the heart of the enhancements for the tennis facilities, along with fresh painted lines for the various sports like handball and futsal that use the multipurpose court.

BEACHES were not reopened to swimmers in the Torrevieja area this week, compared to other parts of the Vega Baja region. Whilst Guardamar, Orihuela, and Pilar de la Horadada plus areas like Alicante and Elche welcomed back bathers, Torrevieja has held off until next week, despite the region being in Phase Two of lockdown relaxation. Torrevieja mayor, Eduardo Dolón, said that safety measures needed to be put into place, and that unemployed people will be used to monitor the beaches. Dolón added the council was working on a mobile phone app to give users an indication as to how busy each of the beaches is.

A MURCIA region man is being investigated for animal abuse after Guardia Civil officers discovered hundreds of animals in a poor state at his home. The man, who lived in Moratalla, had a variety of species living in dreadful conditions, including rabbits, chickens, dogs, a Vietnamese pig and protected birds such as finches. The Guardia said they found several dead animals around the property during their search, after being tipped off by neighbours that there was a serious is-

sue there. The home owner is being investigated on charges of the domestic abandonment of animals and the possession of protected wildlife. Over 100 animals were rescued from different rooms around the house, with most of them having no access to food and water. Most of the animals are being looked after by regional wildlife centres, though some had to be put to sleep because of the public health risks that they posed.

A third of the plastic containers were recovered from a warehouse in Cox, and a further 420 at a local farm. The two firms in Molina de Segura conducted business with the fraudster who convinced them that he was working as an intermediary last year for an Italian company which would get the consignments.

Shark Sightings THE second largest fish in the sea, the Basking Shark, also known as a Cetorhinus maximus, has been increasingly sighted in Spain’s Mediterranean Sea as the coronavirus and

storm Gloria have brought them ever so close to the shore. There are several reasons for their proximity and prominence, one being the vast decrease in human ac-

tivity witnessed as a knock-on effect of the health crisis. As everyone has been quarantined, there have been still waters inviting sharks to come closer to the shore where they usually stray far away from. Furthermore, Storm Gloria, experienced in January of this year could have also caused tides to shift, bringing more plankton to the area and subsequently causing sharks to drift closer.

80 similar cases. The decision came six weeks after the UN committee asked Spain to take steps to admit the girl, who was actually born and raised in Melilla, to be admitted into the public education system. The whole issue revolved around the child and her mother being clas-

sified as ‘irregular’ residents, and so she was not allowed to access public schooling. Back in 2018, she joined other youngsters in the same position starting a two-year campaign. That included staging a weekly protest outside the Ministry of Education in Melilla.

Firstly, the party potentially broke State of Alarm rules on the number of people that could get together under one roof, though the exact number has not been made public. Secondly, Joachim was given permission to travel between different areas of Spain as he was meant to be taking up a placement with an Andalucia area

STOLEN VEHICLES: Scene from the ‘Chop Shop.’ AN assembly plant taking stolen vehicles in Madrid has been closed down by the National Police who estimate that the gang of seven who were involved made €600,000 from their activities. The seven men each had their own specific job and between them would steal cars to ord e r, r e m o v e p a r t s which they sold, sent remaining scrap to breakers yards and

even repaired vehicles using the parts from the stolen cars. The investigation started in February of this year when officers heard rumours of the activities of the gang working from a warehouse in the Madrid suburb of Alcala de Henares and when they raided the premises, they found three stolen cars. They also discovered that some of the stolen cars weren’t, but were

owned by associates of the gang so as well as theft of genuine vehicles, there was also an insurance scam which saw two individuals (from Romania) claiming theft and receiving payment from insurance companies for cars that went through the warehouse. So far, officers have established 25 alleged criminal acts against those who were arrested.

Political Viewpoint from Spain by DAMON MITCHELL THIS week we have seen t h e g l o v e s c o m e o ff w i t h politicians going to extremes in battle and stooping childishly low with name-calling. Pablo Iglesias is the centre of attention due to his encounters with Cayetana Á l v a re z d e To l e d o i n p a rliamentary headquarters. To l e d o d e d i c a t e d h e r speech to an attack on the Podemos leader, calling him a n “ i m p o s t o r, ” “ l i a r ” a n d “son of a terrorist.” Iglesias struck back by taking a swipe at her noble status and mockingly referring to her as a “marquise.” Álvarez de Toledo is indeed the Marquise de Casa Fuerte. Now, this is all going on whilst these “leaders” and decision-makers are supposed to be creating a way forward for Spain and people are struggling through

the economic fallout from the health crisis. The tactics are reminiscent of the days of the “two Spains” and show far more of a split than unity. Whilst this is going on Sanchez has now made clear his plan to push for a sixth and final State of Alarm. He has finally been able to make a deal with the ERC, Catalonian party who previously abstained from backing one extension and voted against other extensions. H o w e v e r, t h i s d e a l i s n o t only to give autonomous leaders their power back, it looks as though they may have some kind of deal in the pipeline that will benefit them over the coming months.

ords and promises the State of Alarm. Sanchez said during his request on Sunday that his country needed two more weeks of lockdown until June 21 “to finish with the pandemic once and for all.” Congress were due to meet on Wednesday June 3 to vote on the extension and should it go ahead it will mean that from June 21 the State of Alarm should end and with it the lockdown, allowing residents to move freely throughout their regions and from July 1, they should be able to move throughout the whole of Spain.

Big State Handout

BASIC INCOME: Deputy PM Iglesias announces scheme. SPAIN’S poorest people are to get around €500 per month in a basic income plan approved by the government. The scheme has been spurred on by the coronavirus pandemic, and has set the support at roughly half of the minimum wage of €1,108 per month per person. The government says

that people aged between 23 and 65 years with assets of less than €16,614, which don’t include their home and certain loans, will be eligible. Deputy Prime Minister, and leader of the leftwing Podemos Party, Pablo Iglesias said: “It is a historic day for our democracy and the fact that the gover n-

ment is going for social justice and that it takes the Constitution seriously.” The money the gover nment will hand out will depend on the number of family members, but will not go over the €1,105 monthly figures. The handout will cover around 2.3 million people in Spain at an annual cost of €3 billion.

GEORGE FLOYD RIOTS

VIOLENT PROTESTS: Have erupted in at least 20 American cities. VIOLENT protests have erupted in at least 20 US cities over the death of unar med black man George Floyd at the hands of a police officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota. T h e f o r me r o f f i c e r, seen in a video with his knee on Floyd’s neck, has now been charged with third-degree murder. A tense stand-off be-

tween police and protesters at the CNN Centre in Atlanta, Georgia, ended after a window was smashed and a firework was thrown at officers inside the building. Floyd’s death has deeply shaken Minneapolis and sparked protests in cities across the US. Local leaders have repeatedly urged demonstrators to avoid

violence. Georgia Gov Brian Kemp says he has issued a state of emergency for Fulton County and activated up to 500 National Guard troops. The Los Angeles Police Department has just declared an unlawful assembly in downtown Los Angeles due to “repeated acts of violence and property damage.”

Electricity Subsidies

THE European Union confirms that it has approved the volume of subsidies granted by Spain to electricity suppliers who operate in the Balearics, the Ca­ nary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla. This financial support falls under the terms of the EU Service of General Eco­ nomic Interest (SGEI) and is granted in order to keep electricity prices similar to those charged in mainland Spain. These subsidies may continue until 2029 except for the Balearics as a new underwater connection with the main­ land is due to go into service in 2025.

By John Smith parlous state of the British econo­ my and the number of airlines begging for state aid, it seems un­ likely that any of them will be as­ sisted. The Unite Union which repre­ sents a large number of BA em­ ployees has written to the Spanish born CEO of British Airways, Alex Cruz asking him for assurances that BA staff will be treated fairly. Their biggest fear at the mo­ ment is that having made mass re­ dundancies due to the Covid­19

pandemic, BA will only take back a percentage of former employees currently under furlough and will offer them much lower salaries knowing that many will be desper­ ate to protect their livelihoods. With reduced staff, it may mean flights between the UK and Spain may be reduced and prices rise. Unite has undertaken to send a list of the most important ques­ tions raised by their members to the CEO of BA within the next week and it will be interesting not only to see those questions but al­ so Mr Cruz’s response.

LEGALLY SPEAKING

Can they stay longer? My husband and I have been in Spain since March 3 and planned to go back to the UK on March 17, but the lockdown happened on March 16. We were offered a new flight April 2 but that was cancelled. Now we are booked for November 10. We would prefer to stay un­ til then as we have our own place. Our main concern is if flights become available from July, would we have to take one? We are aware that, from March 3 to August 4, our six­ month period as non­residents is up, but under the circum­ stances, could we legally stay until November 10? S K (by email) First, your l e g a l tourist visit to YOU AND THE LAW Spain is limited to IN SPAIN 90 days, not six months. The rule is 90 days stay in any 180­day period. After 90 days, you must leave Spain for at least 90 days. To answer your question, the Spanish government is trying to extend the legal State of Alarm until the end of June. If they do, this would give you 90 days from then, ending in Sep­ tember. So it seems you must return to the UK before November.

UK Economy MICHAEL SAUNDERS a member of the Bank of England Mone­ tary Policy Committee has is­ sued a frank statement about the UK economy and his expec­ tations for the coming years. In simple terms, there is like­ ly to be a huge increase in un­ employment, a drop in the amount of money collected through taxation and a reduc­ tion in the amount spent by consumers. With almost zero inflation and reduced bank lending fore­ seen, the Bank of England will almost certainly need to in­ crease the volume of cash it pumps into the economy.

THE IMPACT O

Luciano Novis, Costa del Sol

Luciano lives in El Hornillo, “in my case, the impact has been positive, more family time, my wife and I have spent a lot of time playing and enjoying our baby son, I don’t normally see him this much as I work in a music shop every day. I have also dedicated my time to continue learning sound editing, video editing, and have worked on my techniques and skills on bass guitar. I have enjoyed spending more time with my dogs in the campo and it has even given me the time to learn how to cook pizzas at home!”

He is the manager of the Dirty and Happy Dog Centre situated between Quesada and Los Montesinos. The facility was totally closed during the lockdown and that brought bad and good news for him. “We had to stop helping all of the dog owners for two months, and I was on my own on the site, as I had to let two of my colleagues go during the crisis,” said Alex. “On the plus side, the spare time allowed me to set up a whole new set of kennels which once we get a licence through, will give us the

Joyce Holder, Costa Blanca South Joyce Holder says that she’s been “absolutely frightened” during the pandemic and even though the lockdown has eased, she’s keeping any walks from her Playa Flamenca flat in Orihuela Costa to a minimum. “I don’t drive because I left that to my husband Bob, who passed away three years ago. “During the lockdown I just stayed at home, and got friends to drop off my shopping outside

the main door of our apartment building. “I wasn’t lonely as I got to FaceTime my children and grandchildren every day, but I continue to be really scared of catching the coronavirus as I’m in my senior years,” Joyce added. “I now go shopping, but can’t wait to get back home every time, as I think that the virus will not go away soon.”

Ian Grummet, Mallorca

“It hasn’t been easy during the lockdown,” admitted Mallorca resident Ian Grummet. “Not being able to see people and homeschooling the kids has proved to be a challenge, but thankfully I have still been able to get out and about and work. “It’s been much harder for the children staying indoors for such a long time. “Now we are just happy and grateful to be able to see our friends and visit the beaches again.”

Phillipa Topi

Alex Bacche, Costa Blanca South

Michelle Johnstone, Costa del Sol Michelle and her husband Tony own the ‘Ace of Shades’ which provide shades, blinds and awnings. “We reopened at Phase 1 and up until then, our business had dropped. However, with the extra time I managed to get some confirmation on radio shows I will be working on, that are based in the UK.” Michelle pointed out what the lockdown has done for her community as she lives in a small area where there are only eight houses. “Community spirit has been pulling together, if somebody is going to the shop they get bits for the neighbours. I have been making calls to the vulnerable, just to give them somebody to talk to if they are lonely. “As people will be stuck in Spain they will need shades and mosquito nets, so business is picking up again.”

chance to offer boarding facilities.” Coming out of lockdown has seen some normality return as Alex explains: “We’ve resumed our dog training classes, though we can only have limited numbers, but at least now we are back in business.”

John Fenton, Costa Blanca North John, a local builder, was completely honest and said the hardest part has been losing the social side of life. “Not being able to go to the pub was defnitely hard. It’s a routine of mine really, finish work and pop into my local for a pint. “It’s not just about drinking, you catch up with everyone. For loads of people, the pub is the social hub and might be the only time they talk to anyone. I’m lucky, I’m not on my own. I feel for people who live alone, they must have felt very isolated during lockdown.

“Not being able to work was difficult for obvious reasons, and being self-employed, I didn’t earn anything. Big incentive to get back to work.”

Graham Jones, Costa Blanca South

Graham Jones spends most of the year living in Surrey in the UK, and so has had his stay extended in his holiday home in Torrevieja, since he arrived at the end of February.

“The biggest problem during the crisis has been rearranging flights to return back home and then seeing them cancelled,” said Graham, “Last month I reached the view that I was safer here than anywhere else, and if I have to stay longer, then I’m not bothered any more, especially as everything is reopening.” Like with many single people, loneliness was an issue for Graham during the lockdown. “I like my own company, but two months of it was taking it a bit far,” he chortled.

n, Torre Del Mar, Axarquia “The Coronavirus crisis has impacted my life in so many ways but I refuse to live in fear of something that nobody has definitive details of. I am lucky enough that my business is in online sales so I have been able to continue earning and sticking to a day-to-day regime. A family friend from back home in Scotland sadly passed away but they had had underlying health issues and been ill for a while.” Phillipa went on to say that “I do feel positive for what is to come, I feel safer outside now and go to my usual places without major disruption, it’s a learning curve and luckily it seems to be on the up and in hand now.”

Leon Butlin, Costa Blanca South Leon Butlin lives with his partner Maria and their son Leonardo in Los Montesinos, and he says that a very positive aspect of the pandemic lockdown was that he was able to enjoy a lot more quality time with them. “I was involved in some home schooling and it was really good to be with my family,” Leon said. “It was all very much a personal upside to what’s happened over the last few months, and we almost treated it like a very long Christmas holiday.” Leon runs a hair salon and the negative aspect of the

lockdown was clear to him: “It was missing out on seeing people who are my friends, but the return to normal has been very good as my appointment book is full!”

Nursery school assistant Lisa Pawson, 29, Costa Blanca North I have struggled most with the uncertainty of the pandemic. “Like many people, I haven’t been able to work.

Suzi and Clark Hartwell of mosquito and pest control company, Fog Off, Costa Blanca North They have been fortunate in that there were only 10 days during lockdown they couldn't work. Suzi said: “We have been quite lucky in that respect, being able to work for much of the lockdown, taking all the necessary precautions, obviously. “The biggest challenge for us has been keeping our three children occupied. They are aged eight to 16 and have had to do their homework, which they haven’t wanted to do, so it’s been a case of bribing them to get it done and then we can do fun things, quizzes, making cakes, that sort of thing. “I think we will all appreciate the little things more now, even just going out for a walk together.”

ious, about a lot of things, not just about coronovirus, but also about money and my daughter’s schooling. “Having a bit more freedom has helped, I’ve not been going to bars, but being able to go for walks and to the shops, that feeling of a bit of normality, helps keep things in perspective.”

Jean Stephenson, 72, Costa Blanca North Jean lives alone and said the biggest challenge was dealing with not seeing her family. “It’s been really hard not seeing my daughters and sons, I have found that really, really difficult. I normally see one of them every few weeks and it doesn’t help not knowing exactly when I’ll see them again. “ T h e r e ’ s been lots of phone calls, we’ve stayed

in touch every day almost, but it’s not the same. “And I don’t have a computer, or social media, so talking on the phone is the only way to know how everyone is. “It’s funny how quickly you can get into a new routine though, I’ve been keeping busy decluttering and gardening during lockdown, and have now started venturing out a bit more, only to the shops really at the moment.”

Jonny Moreno from Las Lagunas, Costa del Sol “The crisis has caused me to lose my job and my security. My family own a churreria which had closed down so my father’s income was limited. “Most importantly I have found it hard to see so many people die in the middle of the 21st century by a ‘flu’ and the worst thing is that knowing the situation, the governments of many countries did not take the necessary precautionary measures to inform and make decisions at the time.” Although Jonny has been put in a difficult situation he is hopeful for the future. “As the lockdown is easing off it is giving me a chance to start applying for jobs again, in the meantime

I can help my dad with his business as they have luckily been able to reopen and it is rewarding helping my family with their livelihood.”

GBP/EUR drops to six-week lows, coronavirus crisis is still driving movement ASK THE EXPERT Peter Loveday

STAYING up­to­date with the latest currency news can help you time your transfers effectively, so find out what you should be looking out for in the month ahead… Latest currency news The economic impact of the coro­ navirus pandemic has been the main driver behind currency move­ ment over the past few weeks. Last week saw the release of the UK’s latest flash GDP figure, which fell by ­5.8 per cent, while Germany ­ the Eurozone’s largest economy ­ entered a technical recession. The pound fell to a six­week low of €1.11 against the euro, while the GBP/USD exchange rate fluctu­ ated between highs of $1.21 and

LATEST NEWS: Brexit returned to the spotlight last week. lows of $1.20. Meanwhile, EUR/GBP rose to highs of £0.89 as Eurozone economies continued reopening, with France and Germany easing lockdown restrictions. EUR/USD is currently trading in the region of $1.08. What’s been happening? Brexit returned to the spotlight last week after the UK and the EU concluded their latest round of

Brexit trade talks. Sterling stumbled after David Frost, Britain’s chief Brexit negotiator, said that the two sides had made ‘very little’ progress. Last Wednesday also saw a slew of dire UK economic data, with UK growth falling in the flash estimate for the first quarter. Many analysts believe that the second­quarter will be far worse. Meanwhile, the euro struggled

after Germany’s first­quarter GDP posted its sharpest contraction since the 2008 financial crisis. However, the euro ultimately came out on top as Germany and France moved to reopen their economies. Finally, while the US dollar initial­ ly benefited from rising US­China trade tensions last week (after US President Donald Trump criticised Beijing’s handling of the coron­ avirus) poor US retail sales data and rising risk appetite saw USD slide before the weekend. What do you need to look out for? Tuesday will see the release of the UK’s ILO Unemployment Rate report for March. The unemployment rate is ex­ pected to rise from 4 per cent to 4.4 per cent, a result which could keep the pound on the back foot. Bank of England (BoE) Chief Econ­

omist Andy Haldane said that we could see a return to ‘80s levels of unemployment.’ US­China trade developments will continue to drive the US dollar this week. Any signs of deteriorating re­ lations between the two superpow­ ers could prove USD­positive. EUR investors will be focusing on the Eurozone’s latest PMI reports and will be looking for indications that output is starting to recover now that economies in the currency bloc are reopening.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT

4 - 10 June 2020

EWN 35

Who’d be a politician?

ONE of the many drawbacks of this virus pandemic is that due to shortages of staff, producing a column dealing with current affairs can be most difficult. (In fact the mere continuance of this EWN publication during the crisis is nothing short of a minor miracle, for which all concerned must be highly congratulated!) It does however mean that, due to articles needing to be submitted much earlier than usual, there is a danger of subject matter being ‘old news’ by the time it finds its way into print. I sincerely hope this is not the case with this week’s blurb which was submitted last Friday. It concerns the never ending onslaught of pressure on Mr Cummings to resign or be sacked from the Conservative party. To me the whole unrelenting blitz of left wing media hounding, and indeed the criticism from dissenters in his own party, seemed utterly disproportionate to the actual ‘crime’ he is supposed to have committed; particularly in the light of even more serious accusations being aimed at other political figures, including chip off the old block, Steven Kinnock, Robert Jenrick and that awful SNP

BREXIT: Remainers want to obtain a two-year extension of the transition period. whinger Ian Blackford, who allegedly drove 600 miles from London to Skye some three days after lockdown was declared. So why are the media not chomping after these other lockdown breachers in anything like the relentless fashion they have pursued Mr Cummings? Well, surprise surprise after I dug a little deeper, a word popped up that most of us would

like to consider lost in the mists of time. Yep you’ve guessed it - Brexit! It appears that while both Mr Cummings and Mr Johnson, both leading Brexiteers, were incapacitated with the Corona virus, a number of diehard remainers decided to use this uncertain period to devise a way to obtain a two-year extension of the transition period - due to be decided next month. Although the whole devious,

left wing media assisted plot, is far too complicated for these few lines, it basically meant that if Mr Cummings could be got rid of and the ‘remain’ supporting conservative MPs win a vote of no confidence against Mr Johnson, the chances of getting a two-year extension in June would be greatly enhanced. This would mean the UK would be bound by its obligations and EU international agreements for a further two years, and who knows? Over this period the undemocratic and bitter loser camp would have all that time to work on reversing the Brexit decision. Can you imagine the horror of that!? Thankfully, at the time of writing, they have not, even with the relentless badgering of their media pals, managed to oust Mr Cummings. In the light of this failure, rebel conservative remainers have stepped away from the vote of no confidence idea, knowing too well that should it have failed, their political careers would be over. I dunno, who in their right mind would truly want to become a politician? Keep the faith. Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com. Expatradio.uk. Mon. Wed. Fri.

Shoot me Now GAVIN LAMBE-MURPHY I WAS contacted recently by a magazine, asking if I’d consider doing an ‘At Home’ feature, for an upcoming issue. In the past, I was pretty social, with my antics appearing in various magazines and newspaper columns. Let’s say, I was young and enthusiastic. Lately, I tend to enjoy a more private life. So, even though the girl from the publication was extremely sweet, and almost convincing, I had to say I’d think about it. The idea took me by surprise. With current social distancing rules, how could we possibly do the photoshoot? Aren’t we still in lockdown? Is the idea of this feature considered ‘essential’? Over the years, I’ve been asked to do similar interviews, for newspapers, TV, and magazines, so I know the level of work required. One that stands out, is a fun shoot for Social & Personal magazine. An Irish lifestyle bible, that’s a firm favourite with those who live a fashionable existence. When they asked, it was a no brainer. Apart from being a much respected publication, I also have a long affiliation with it, as at one point, I was the Social Editor. My home at the time in Dublin, was a fantastic mews house, just off Fitzwilliam Square. A place suited to hosting parties, and over the years, featured in a number of interior design publications. Anyhow, on the morning of the shoot, I decided that in order to make things per fect, a dog was required. A friend offered to loan me their one-year-old Dalmatian, Dior. A hyperactive beauty, much like most people I know, she bounded up the stairs and straight onto my, just arranged, silk sofa. Her presence was noticed by the magazine stylist. I can still recall his facial expression, as cushions went to the floor. While the photographer attempted to capture beautiful photos, Dior became a diva. Clambering over tables, knocking picture frames and such, it was difficult to calm her. Short of hopping in the bath, she really was the star. A few hours later, I was exhausted from it all. Due to reunite pooch and owner, at a chic, Italian restaurant, I chose to walk the distance. Approaching bustling Grafton street, I noticed my companion getting nervous. Meanwhile, I was stressed, as people stopped us to

DIOR: Her presence was noticed. take photos. There was only one thing for it - I made a dash for the stylish doors of Brown Thomas. The Grande Dame of fashionable Dublin, selling Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana and such necessities, it felt the perfect place for a girl named Dior. In air-conditioned bliss, elegant shoppers stared, with a mix of awe and disbelief, as a security guard walked us through, and out a side door. With Dior almost strutting, we stopped briefly at Louis Vuitton, to look at sunglasses. Soon after, the magazine was published, and met with applause, mainly by fans of beautiful Dior. I guess it’s true what they say, a dog makes a home. As the last week rolled on, I thought about the importance of print publications. Over half my life has involved them, and each month I look forward to my delivery of must read magazines. Call me old fashioned, but I just don’t find the same pleasure with online. To escape with a magazine is something I treasure. I travel a lot (or used to), and my favourite part of the journey, is having time to catch up on some escapism without interruption. So, realising it’s an honour to be asked, I think I’ll say yes to the magazine request. However, not until after the summer. From experience, heat and photo-shoots don’t mix well. This time I have no need to borrow a dog, as I get a strong feeling my Jack Russell, Henry, would be more than happy to take this leading role. That said, please excuse me as I’m heading to the pool with Vanity Fair, and a cold Aperol Spritz. When you’re at the store, pick up a magazine and treat yourself to some you time. For me, it’s important that we keep so many creative people, well, creative. And for me, it will always be print, over App.

I was taught by the best in the market MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man WELL as a few of you enjoyed my little story last week and everyone else is still writing about Boris, Donny, round trips to Durham to have your eyes tested and the virus, I’ve decided to tell you another story. In the late 60’s and early 70’s when I was just a young whippersnapper I was travelling the UK auctioneering and demonstrating in markets, local Ideal Home exhibitions and fairgrounds. The type of goods I sold were the type that the trader made look like they were the most brilliant things ever, but when you got them home you couldn’t quite get them to work in the same way. I sold and demonstrated so many different things - non-stick frying pans (they slip, they slide, they virtually glide), knives so sharp you could saw through a tin can, then with the same knife slice a piece of bread so thin you could see daylight through it. A chopping machine for making chips and perfect salads and

everything inbetween. There was allegedly a Blackpool landlady who, with this machine, could slice a cucumber so thin she could make it last a whole summer season. I even sold ladies tights that supposedly wouldn’t ladder. All these things were made to look so easy because we practised for hours to make it look easy. One of my favourites was a carpet cleaning kit that actually was just a stick with a piece of plastic on the end with two rollers and two brushes and, of course, a ‘magic’ shampoo that could clean any stain out of any carpet. But the secret was in our preparation. The shampoo was just a very pure teepol diluted with a lot of water. We used sample carpet squares to show how great the kit was, but what nobody knew was they were soaked in shampoo overnight and left to dry. The ‘black shoe polish’ that was rubbed in was, in fact, a black washable dye soaked into a shampoo soaked sponge. I bet some of you even remember the famous ‘Reem Kleen’ Crumb Brush Table Sweeper. All of this was a fantastic introduction to the world of selling and I was taught by the best in the markets. More next week or back to being grumpy - let me know which you prefer.

The Importance of being Resident in Spain CONSULAR MATTERS ONE of things that you hear mentioned in Spain is the word Residencia and Residency. A large number of foreign citizens during the Coronavirus crisis in Spain have found themselves stranded in their home country due to the fact that they did not have re s i d e n c y i n S p a i n , b u t what does it mean to be legally resident in Spain? As Danish Consul for Andalucia and Extremadura and as a lawyer I have received numerous messages from Danish citizens who wanted to retur n to Spain where they have lived for a number of years. Sadly this was not permitted by the Spanish government as they did not have residency and were there-

RESIDENCY: Make sure you seek legal advice. fore not allowed to enter Spain at the moment. This is in case even if they were on the padron, had an NIE number or had paid for example property taxes here in Spain. This is the same for other citizens from for example the United Kingdom, and indeed all over the world. In Spain it is law that if you spend more than 183 days in

any year you are resident and you have to pay taxes in Spain. For citizens of the United Kingdom this is something of extreme importance as the UK is in a transition period and will leave the European Union on 31.12.20. At the time of writing no deal has been done between the EU and the UK and this means that UK citi-

zens who are not resident will be limited to stays of 90 days in a 180-day period. They will also need health insurance as the current system of the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) will come to an end. Of course there may be a deal, but after 30 years as a lawyer I know not to speculate. So what can be done?

Well wherever you are from, if you are living here in Spain you need to get your residency, and for UK citizens you need to be living here in Spain before 31.12.20. The Spanish government has extended the deadline to apply for residencia until June 2021 but as I said you need to be living here before the end of 2020. You will also need to take advice from a lawyer or someone suitably qualified re your tax situation and your Will, as if you are resident you can choose which law applies in the event of your death. Make sure that you take advice re taxes as depending on your particular circumstances one country may be better than another.

NORA JOHNSON BREAKING VIEWS

Do you suffer from Fogo?

Nora is the author of popular psychological suspense and crime thrillers and a freelance journalist. To comment on any of the issues raised in her column, go to www.euroweeklynews.com/3.0.15/nora-johnson

BEEN in lockdown too long, hardly seen anyone in that time? Maybe you’ve got FOGO (fear of going out), an increasing social and mental anxiety based as much on fear of raising the R rate above one as on just not really knowing how to be around other people, trusting them, any more. As regards the UK, maybe the ‘Stay at Home, Protect the NHS, Save Lives' lockdown message mantra was ‘too successful’ and left people scared to go out? For some time, class British WhatsApp groups have been at loggerheads whether or not children should go back to school as early as June - some parents still determined to keep them at home. Like those still fortu-

CORONAVIRUS: There’s still no available cure or vaccine.

nate to have jobs, they’re worried that reopening too fast and too soon might lead to a second wave of infection. These are the ones puzzled by those demanding an end to precautions when they fear that the virus is still there, there’s no available treatment, cure or vaccine as yet to make anyone safe. The virus is still poorly understood, they feel, and nobody knows for sure how it will develop, whether antibodies might protect if someone’s had it and, if so, for

how long. They’re concerned nothing’s actually changed, apart from people’s intolerance of lockdown restrictions, and wherever precautions are dropped, the situation will return to the status quo with more infections. Behind the continuing uncertainty there is lurking, they suspect, a very real problem that will manifest itself during the coming weeks. The whole world may find itself dividing into the isolators and the ‘couldn’t care less’ folk with a great deal of tension be-

tween the two groups. Add to the mix governments and media who either intentionally or unintentionally issue contradictory guidance and commentary and you have a volatile brew. Is it FOGO or is it really HONGO (happiness of not going out)? Or maybe it should just be FOG - fear of government (making rules and flouting them. Yes, Dominic, I’m looking at you!).

COMMENTS FROM FACEBOOK Ryanair Refund Row - UK Government asked to step in as thousands of passengers are still waiting for money to be returned

DEAR Euro Weekly News, I can’t help but ask how on earth can Leapy back the Prime Minister. He has changed ‘the goalposts’ to fit in with Dominic Cummings’ actions. I read the open letter from the lady whose 14-year-old son died. No comparison to Cummings’ ‘do as he thought fit,’ with total disregard for the UK citizens. I have totally lost faith in the UK government. Both Boris and Cummings should go. Moira Masson

OUR VIEW Technology over humanity

ON Monday, May 25, police officers in Minnesota received a call to attend a ‘forgery in progress’ after a 46year-old black man, George Floyd, allegedly tried to purchase goods in a shop using a counterfeit $20 note. Upon arrival at the scene, the officers ordered Floyd out of his vehicle and cuffed him. Then he was pinned to the ground and surrounded by four officers, one of whom forced his knee into the back of Floyd’s neck. The officer’s statement said that Floyd had “physically resisted officers,” but many witnesses dispute this claim. Footage of Floyd’s detainment has already gone viral as they were streamed on Facebook Live by bystander Darnella Frazier. The video shows Floyd groaning and repeatedly struggling to say “I can’t breathe” to Derek Chauvin, the officer with his knee on Floyd’s neck. Floyd can be heard telling Chauvin: “I’m about to die. I can’t breathe. Please, the knee in my neck, I can’t breathe.” As the crowds plead with the officers to let him up as he is not resisting arrest, he eventually falls silent and stops moving, however, Chauvin defiantly does not remove his knee until the emergency services arrive. Floyd was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead. A police statement states that he appeared to be in ‘medical distress,’ it did not mention that he had been pinned to the ground with the weight of a police officer crushing his airway. I am sure for a lot of people this brings to mind the case of Rodney King, who on March 3, 1991, was violently beaten by LAPD officers during an arrest for leaving the scene of an alleged crime and resisting arrest. These ‘attacks’ are separated by almost 30 years. Has mankind not evolved in the last 30 years? What have we been doing with our time? Have our heads been stuck behind laptops, phones and social media as technology advances, but our own minds, actions and beliefs do not? The four officers involved in Floyd’s killing have all been dismissed. Chauvin has since been charged with his murder. I suppose it was lucky there was somebody there with a mobile phone to record it for social media.

CORRECTIONS

So many thousands of people had their flights cancelled due to Covid-19 it’s obviously not an overnight task to process the refunds, but Ryanair haven’t done themselves any favours and have exacerbated the situation by issuing vouchers in lieu of a refund when a simple email stating refunds will be issued ASAP would have calmed this very emotive issue.

Mask it, or casket? Your choice? - Euro Weekly News Spain Julie Frank News Article BORIS: Should go.

Community hero DEAR Euro Weekly News, Bravo, may I just say that your Community Hero competition idea was fantastic. Both recognising and rewarding those people was a brilliant gesture. It is times like these that people need that boost and to know they are doing well. So well done. I would also have voted for Fina, she is an amazing, amazing woman. She is so kind and caring and to have treated her will make her so happy. Thank you for making her happier. Although she will probably take no credit, she definitely deserves it. Well done to the others too, I can’t believe this daft virus has brought so many caring people out of the woodwork and what better platform to announce it in than the one that has provided news and entertainment throughout this time. My favourite Euro Weekly News. Jez Harrison Granada

Figure it out Dear Euro Weekly News, Does anybody have a clue as to what on earth has happened with the Spanish Coronavirus figures? One day it was 56 deaths in a day and then all of a sudden it’s 35 within a week. Also, there was some miscount or misinformat i o n i n v o l v i n g a d i ff e re n c e o f 2 , 0 0 0 d e a t h s . . . 2,000!! How can we put our trust in these guys if they cannot even give us the right information? By doing this it will only goad the conspiracy theorists into getting on board. I understand the French are at it too and each of their papers reports a different figure. Who can we turn to for this information, it is creating panic when all we want is reassurance.

HAVE YOUR SAY All letters by email or post should carry the writer’s address, NIE and contact number though only the name and town will be published. Readers who have missed correspondence can see all letters - which can be edited before publication - posted on: www.euroweeklynews.com.

I personally think it is good advice. People in the UK are saying that the government didn’t do enough, although some people in the UK carried on without masks and then they blame the government for the high number of deaths. Now nobody seems to be wearing them.

YOUR STARS FOR NEXT 7 DAYS ARIES (March 21 - April 20) A rather slow start to the week leads you to feel bored but be assured that the weekend will be far from dull. A recent conversation or correspondence with an old friend leads to unexpected contact. TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Everything on the home front is emphasised and there will be a flurry of activity. Get others involved in any changes. Work in the garden or painting is much more enjoyable and half the work if you enlist the help of someone you get on well with. GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) When discussing a holiday with others, be aware that agreement is not always easily met. Although you are not inclined to compromise, it is necessary to go with the majority decision. CANCER (June 22 - July 23) After the 2nd it is much easier to see the path ahead. This is particularly true of a financial situation, so there's no sense in fussing until you understand what needs to be done. LEO (July 24 - August 23) Your attention is needed on more than one front, and some decisions are at odds with your personal thoughts and attitudes. Being reminded that ‘business is business’ does nothing to relieve your conscience. You may have to upset someone by telling the truth, which may affect your longer-term finances. VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Are you willing to take a risk on someone who has let you down before? Looking into their recent past is likely to tip the balance. What you find shows clearly if there has been a change of heart on their part or if they are trying to pull the wool over your eyes. LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) A disagreement with a friend upsets you but is short-lived. To avoid such a situation in the future, look at how you

should have dealt with it. There is always something to know that guides us to a better position. It will make you smile someone has taken you for a fool as you have the last laugh. SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) A great feeling of joy comes over you more than once in the week ahead. Your inner child has been set free, and this is likely to be because of recent restrictions, which are now lifted. Do not feel guilty about this because it is a choice that will serve you well in the future. Right now, things may seem like a bit of an effort for small reward. SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) ITravel arrangements may have to be changed at the last minute. Do not fret, however, because success is more likely later in the month. During a dream, or when reading a book, an idea comes to you. Can this really make a difference to your future? You may need to act quickly to start a new project but progress will require patience.

The need to plan ahead is frustrating when you know exactly what ought to be going on. Patience is something that you need to cultivate, or you risk upsetting someone close. Spending time with a colleague makes you realise how good things could be, but a lot of effort is involved. Pushing ahead does not guarantee results.

Get Out Of Your Own Way It’s Time to Take Responsibility

I AM not one of those mentors who tells you your life will be perfect and full of roses, I don’t stroke your ego and tell you how wonderful you are on a daily basis. What’s the point in that? Does it help you overcome your negative mind-set? No! It actually enhances it. If you want sympathy, im not the girl for you. I empathise, I support, I care but I also kick your a*se and teach you how to overcome your curre nt thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Let’s take the current situation we are all in at the moment. Lockdown can be hard for some and I totally get it. You’re lead by fear, by uncertainty and you don’t know what to do. That is fine. None has ever experienced this before therefore, our thoughts can become erratic. We create scenarios in our mind that you convince yourself to be true. But ask yourself; Is this how you want to stay? Do you want to live the rest of your life in fear? Do you want to feel

anxious about stepping outside of your front door? Do you want to feel anger when you read the latest update? I’m pretty certain that the answer is no! So what will you do? Some people love to live on Negative Street. They thrive on other people’s sympathy and have no interest in change. They’re offered help, but decline it each time. If that’s you, that’s fine. If that is how you choose to live, that is entirely up to you, but please be prepared that people in your circle will outgrow you. There are others who live with a negative mind-set and are unsure how to get out of it. I hear you! I too was little miss negative pants. I knew I needed help but was ashamed to ask. I felt it meant i was admitting to failure. I was wrong and if you are feeling like that, you are wrong too! Asking for help shows strength and courage. It’s telling you that you want to live a better life, you want to feel at peace and be happy, but you have to get out of your own

COURSE: Start living a positive life.

way, take responsibility for your actions and physically take that step. You can’t tell yourself you need help and then do nothing about it. You can’t convince yourself you’ll do it tomorrow because tomorrow never comes. If not now, when? That’s what i tell people who initially contact me and say I will do it soon or maybe next week. If you’re not willing to change, nothing will change. You will blink and all of a sudden you’re in your 80s, looking back and saying to yourself I wished I had taken action. Is this how you want to remember your life? Do you want to have regrets? Do you want to feel disappointed with your actions? Or do you want the chance to set yourself free? I will be doing a free, four- day set yourself free course and will give you the tools to start living a positive life with a positive mind-set. If you would like to join in, you can either email coachingwith dione@gmail.com or contact me via Facebook.

If you would like to dig a little deeper into your own thoughts, feelings and behaviours or you would like to complete one of my courses to live a happy and healthy life with yourself, please email me coachingwithdione@gmail.com.

…..But you don’t look ill, you look fine to me!! (self-harm trigger warning)

MS BIPOLAR UP AND DOWN WITH BALANCE UNEDITED HOW many times have we heard the words “But you don’t look like someone with a mental illness” … “ Gosh I didn’t know you were Bipolar” ... “What have you got to be depressed for, your life is great!” “Oh sh*t, sorry. I forgot my pink neon mental illness sign at home today, I will make sure to wear it tomorrow!” (little bit of sarcasm to lighten the mood up) Why is it that to be taken seriously, to be listened to people think that you need to look ill? Sometimes a mental illnesses can show physically, of course, like the appearance of somebody struggling with eating disorders or scars made through selfharm. But so much of the time there is nothing physically wrong to see, and you would never know! We have a special super power to hide behind a smile or a laugh, to carry on as normal in front of people and to take the mask off when we are alone. As someone who has self-harmed on and off since the age of 13 years old and now fast approaching 29 - my body is covered in the giveaway marks that cannot be mistaken for anything other than self-harm. But yes, I still feel the need to lie sometimes when someone asks ... “What happened to your arm?” …. “Oh I scratched it whilst gardening at the weekend!”... I have had my fair share of stares, and looks of horror, fear and disgust. The thing about my self-harm though, is not punishment, I don’t feel the need to punish myself, for me it’s a form of release. When you are in such a dark place and you feel numb, to inflict pain is a way of feeling alive and feeling SOME-

THING! It does become highly addictive, once you start it is very hard to stop. It will be nine months this week since I last self-harmed, the thought of it creeps up on me every time I have a slip, but I find distraction straight away and try to fight the urge to inflict physical pain on myself but all of my scars from over the years are still there… still visible… so, to have them pointed out to me, is yet another reminder of the struggle I have to live with every day! Then ignorance sets in. I also struggle with depression, and regular suicidal thoughts, as well as having crippling anxiety (as if all the rest wasn't enough!). If any of this is mentioned, people will look me up and down, with puzzled expressions on their faces, before announcing, “well, I would have never of known, you carry it so well.” But what they fail to understand is that to be ill, you don’t need to look sick. I believe that there is such a risk nowadays that any type of mental illness will not be taken seriously, due to the misconception that people who look okay are okay, and I really hope that people begin to realise that saying to somebody who is ill that they “look fine” or “You’ve got it all, just cheer up” can demean that person and their illness, and prevent them from seeking the help that they need. I also wanted to show anyone who may be struggling that they should not feel as though they do not deserve to be listened to because they aren’t “ill enough” or “look ill.” I really hope that this article encourages people to ask for help as early as possible, and that they will reach out to others so they do not have to suffer alone. I also hope that others reading this will look at the person next to them and just BE KIND, because we never know what someone may be going through! Don’t forget to write to me or follow me on facebook @mswillowbipolar Lots of love Ms Bipolar x

CHARCOAL toothpaste is all the rage for tooth whitening. It is a natural solution for brighter, whiter teeth... but does it actually help? The type of charcoal you find in toothpaste is made of natural materials like wood and coconut shells that are oxidised under extreme heat to make activated charcoal. The process causes it to become more porous and in this state, it

is great at absorbing toxins, stains and bacteria. Brushing with activated charcoal aids with halitosis by absorbing the bacteria that causes it. It’s gritty, like baking soda, so it can also be used to buff the surfaces of your teeth, literally polishing them. As charcoal is abrasive it could wear down the enamel, so don’t use it every session without talking to a dentist. Also,

make sure to use very fine charcoal. Activated charcoal can remove surface stains, which means if you have a coffee addiction, this might work wonders. Things like wine or tea stains can be effectively removed with charcoal toothpaste. It won’t, however, have much of an effect on stains from smoking. You’ll need a professional whitener for that.

Epilepsy is one of the most frequent neurological problems in dogs and cats EPILEPSY is defined as the chronic neurological disorder characterised by recurrent epileptic seizures. It is not a specific disease but a clinical sign, although most of the time it is idiopathic epilepsy, which means that it does not have an identifiable cause. Epileptic seizures can also be secondary to metabolic, toxic disorders or processes that directly affect the central nervous system. In the brain, there is a balance between neuronal arousal and inhibition. An imbalance can trigger an epileptic seizure. It is important to distinguish epilepsy from narcolepsy / catalepsy, neuromuscular collapse, syncope, metabolic collapse, and sleep disorders. Most epileptic seizures are not related to a triggering event and occur when they are resting or sleeping. In contrast, narcolepsy / catalepsy is triggered by previous excitation and syncope and neuromuscular collapse

by previous activity. The epileptic attack can be focal or generalised. The generalised indicates the involvement of both cerebral hemispheres. In the common form of attack, loss of consciousness is observed, an initial tonic phase with the animal lying on its side with sustained muscle contraction and extended limbs. Then a clonic phase with rhythmic muscle contractions and jerks and flexion and extension movements of the extremities and contractions of the facial muscles. Salivation, dilated eyes, urination, or defecation may be observed. Many times there is pedalling of the extremities. The diagnosis of epilepsy It is necessary to distinguish epilepsy from other processes such as intoxication, syncope, narcolepsy, etc. A complete anamnesis is necessary with questions to the owner about your pet and descrip-

toxicological tests will be performed. If infectious diseases are suspected, blood serologies and cerebrospinal fluid tests will be done. If no analytical abnormalities are detected, computed tomography or cranial magnetic resonance imaging may be performed. You can only diagnose idiopathic epilepsy if extracraneal causes are ruled out by analysis and no abnormalities in cranial magnetic resonance (MRI) are observed. Therefore, cranial magnetic resonance is recommended and if possible with a High Field device, that is, one or more teslas.
