Dear readers,
Donald Trump was anointed as the Republican Party’s presidential nominee at the national convention in Milwaukee, just days after surviving an assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania, where he was the subject of a photograph that will enter the annals of U.S. history, his fist clenched against a backdrop of the Stars and Stripes. From the convention, our Washington correspondent explains how the former president has risen to the top again as he bids for a second term in the White House, bending the Republican Party to his will and completing one of the great political turnarounds after his recent judicial triumphs, capped at a GOP gathering where he has been feted and memories of another image for the ages — his police mugshot in Atlanta — have been set to one side as the conservative formation unites behind his candidacy.
This week EL PAÍS spoke with Luis Manuel Otero, Cuba’s most prominent political prisoner and, in his own words, its “most dangerous.” In September 2021, he was named one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people, two months after being imprisoned during the largest anti-government protests since the early years of the Cuban Revolution.

We also looked at the phenomenon of global cyberespionage — a NATO spokesperson told EL PAÍS that cyberdefense has become one of the coalition’s “main priorities,” adding that malicious cybernetic campaigns could “lead the North Atlantic Council to invoke Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty,” its collective defense clause — as well as the housing crisis in Lisbon through the lens of two-time World Press Photo winner Mário Cruz and the enduring Seattle legacy of Kurt Cobain.
We hope you enjoy this selection of stories from EL PAÍS English Edition.
