Dear readers,
In Spain, the death of Maricarmen, the 87-year-old woman whose eviction sparked protests across the country, has become a defining moment in the debate over housing and tenants' rights. Once an anonymous Madrid resident fighting to stay in her home, she died as the unlikely face of a movement demanding action on one of Spain's most pressing social crises.
Beyond Spain, the war in Ukraine remains at a critical juncture. In an exclusive interview with EL PAÍS, Volodymyr Zelenskiy delivers a stark assessment of Europe’s response to Russia's renewed offensive against Kyiv, warning that Vladimir Putin "isn't afraid of Europeans."
And in the United States, a once-fringe idea is gaining traction: should artificial intelligence pay taxes? As AI transforms the economy and threatens to reshape the labor market, policymakers and economists are increasingly debating whether tech companies should help offset the social costs of automation.
This week we also sat down with Richard Dean Anderson, the actor who turned MacGyver into one of television's most enduring heroes, and spoke with Sylvester Stallone, who reflects on masculinity, aging and the changing cultural landscape.
We hope you enjoy this selection of stories from EL PAÍS English Edition.
