The volcanic eruption on La Palma continued to wreak havoc on the Canary Island this week, with more neighborhoods forced to evacuate. The region was also hit by its strongest earthquake since the eruption began on September 19, and authorities warn there is no sign that the situation is easing.
Meanwhile in Spain, the government presented the details of its budget plan for 2022. The document, which needs to be approved by Congress, includes €43.4 billion for public investment, with the lion's share going to defense, transportation and the environment.
In political news, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez was booed by members of the public during a military parade to observe Spain's National Day. The jeers were in start contrast to the applause received by King Felipe VI, and were described by an EL PAÍS editorial as "anti-democratic."
And finally, we looked at the epic, 39-year-project to describe all the 6,120 plants of Spain and Portugal.
We hope you enjoy this selection of articles from the EL PAÍS English Edition.
Thanks for reading.
