DANA victims express their "discomfort" to UJI for having Pradas as a professor

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General10 September 2026 at 09:46

DANA victims transferred their "discomfort" to the Universitat Jaume I in Castellón over Salomé Pradas's presence as a professor. The Association of DANA Fatal Victims 29-O, one of the main entities representing this group, sent a letter to rector Jesús Lancis expressing their "concern and deep discomfort" over the incorporation, "another academic year," of former Minister of Justice Salomé Pradas as a substitute professor at the public university.

Salomé Pradas was Minister of Justice and is now a lecturer at the academic institution in Castellón. The victims' association questions the presence of a political figure associated with the DANA management as a professor at a public university, generating controversy at the beginning of the new academic year.

The fatal victims continue to protest against what they consider a lack of accountability for the events of the DANA on October 29, now publicly expressing their discomfort with Pradas's academic situation at UJI.

When PS and PSD Agree, It's on the Waterfront

In Machico, Madeira, the local PS and regional PSD, two parties that usually confront each other, reached a consensus to move forward with a mega-yacht marina, a hotel and a real estate development on the waterfront of the bay. The article criticizes this understanding, arguing that projects of this nature do not benefit the local population — where housing is already the main problem — but rather external investors and speculators. The author warns that the consensus between the two largest parties removes the necessary scrutiny, transforming what should be public debate into a mere announcement, and calls for the population to decide on the waterfront with information and alternatives before construction begins.
