Concerns are growing over the rising number of coronavirus cases in Spain. On Thursday, the 14-day incidence rate rose to 160 per 100,000, up 11 points since Wednesday. As contagions spike, a growing number of regions are turning to Covid passports to curb the spread. This in turn has prompted more people to get vaccinated: last week Spain saw a 25% rise in the number of first vaccine doses administered.
On Thursday, women's groups took to the street of several Spanish cities to mark International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. In Spain, more than 53,000 women are under police protection due to gender violence.
In other news, the volcanic eruption on La Palma is now the longest seen on the island in 377 years. So far, the lava has covered more than 1,000 hectares of land and destroyed nearly 1,500 buildings. Around 7,500 people are also still unable to return home.
And finally, we looked at the new platform España Vaciada that is hoping to bring the needs of Spain‘s rural, depopulated areas to the forefront of the political agenda.
