The response of a town in Castellón to save its church surprises: more than 19,000 euros raised

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General30 August 2026 at 05:30

The restoration of the parish church of Puebla de Arenoso took an important step forward thanks to the mobilization of neighbors and people linked to the town. A fundraising campaign was launched just a few days ago and has already managed to raise more than 19,000 euros since late July.

The amount raised, although high, is still far from the total goal set at 460,000 euros. The difference between the amount already raised and the established target shows that there is still a long way to go to complete the necessary works.

The supportive response of the community surprised everyone with its speed and generosity. Neighbors and people connected to Puebla de Arenoso demonstrated their commitment to preserving this local religious heritage.

After all, are we all "putting" the verb "pôr" aside?

Linguist Marco Neves explores the linguistic phenomenon by which the verb "meter" has been progressively replacing the verb "pôr" in the Portuguese language, in a cycle of euphemisms similar to what led the word "cego" to be replaced by "invisual". The article analyzes how these changes reflect a tendency towards softening language and establishes interesting parallels between Portuguese and other linguistic varieties, including Mirandese and Brazilian Portuguese, demonstrating that these lexical transformations are a natural part of language evolution.

Interim president of Venezuela 'rebukes' Trump and says country will maintain control of its oil after agreement

Venezuela's interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, responded on Saturday to statements by U.S. President Donald Trump, affirming that her country will maintain control and sovereignty over its oil reserves, contradicting Trump's claim that the U.S. had secured "majority control" over Venezuela's more than 65 billion barrels in reserves. According to Rodríguez, the agreement signed with the U.S. aims to attract around $100 billion in private investment from American companies to revitalize Venezuela's oil industry, turning underground resources into a source of economic and social well-being for the Venezuelan people.
