GALICIAN
POLITICS: El País says there are grietas en el viejo feudo of the PP
party here in Galiza. And that this threatens the presidential
ambitions of our very own President Feijoo. It would be nice if one
of my Galego readers could expand on this, in whatever language.
CASTELLANO:
The normal word for 'death' is muerte. But yesterday I came across
defunción(es). I guess it's more polite or formal, as it was
accompanied by nacimientos, or 'births'.
THE AVE
HIGH SPEED TRAIN: Brussels has criticised Madrid for its handling of
this vast investment. Here in Galiza we're being told it will arrive
'shortly' but my guess is still 2018 at the earliest. Or ten years
late. That said, there's clearly consideration being given to the option of
'suspending' current works and bricking up the tunnels, as down in
Murcia. Otherwise, why would it be reported that it would be more
expensive to do this than to complete the extension of the existing
line from Castilla y León?
FINALLY:
Don't overlook my other - less locally focused - blog – Thoughts from Galicia.
