The beginning of the new legislature with the constitution of the Cortes, the news of the Daniel Sancho case for the death penalty requested by Thailand or the fire in Tenerife that continues out of control, among the most outstanding news today, Thursday August 17 of 2023.
The legislature starts
These have been intense and hectic days for political parties. Today the new legislature begins with the constitution of the Cortes and with the vote of the Table of Congress. It’s all up in the air and it all depends on Junts. Those of Puigdemont will not confirm until the last minute if they support the socialist Francina Armengol as President.
The fight is so tight that a tie is not ruled out, in which case the vote would have to be repeated until one name prevails over the other.
The fire does not stop in Tenerife
The flames advance uncontrollably in Tenerife. Nearly 200 people have had to be evicted. Many have not been able to sleep on Wednesday night. More than 250 troops try to put out some flames that have forced new evacuations. They work intensively in the area of the fire and it is estimated that there are about 1,800 damaged hectares. 150 people have not been able to sleep in their homes.
Unresolved unknowns in the Sancho case
The Thai Police have confirmed that they have once again questioned Daniel Sancho in Koh Samui, the prison where he is serving a sentence for having confessed to being the murderer of the Colombian surgeon Edwin Arrieta and where he is expected to be today in the isolation module.
Following Daniel Sancho’s new statements, the Thai authorities are going to continue gathering evidence to complete the investigation of this media case. However, from the police station in charge of this case, they have announced that the new report has not yet been transmitted to the prosecution. Thailand will seek the death penalty.
