A LOGGERHEAD turtle was rescued in the port of Mazarron on Sunday, April 30. The young turtle was tangled in nets. The crew of the ‘Karyam’ freed him and then handed him over to the recovery centre.

AS part of its campaign for the upcoming local elec­ tions, the Ciudadanos Par­ ty in Murcia has taken a stance to denounce cor­ ruption in politics. It had erected a poster in the Plaza de Las Flores in which images of the former presidents of the autonomous community Pedro Antonio Sánchez and Ramón Luis Valcárcel appeared behind bars, alongside the PSOE candi­ date Pepe Vélez.
