Pedro Sánchez won the backing of a majority of lawmakers in Spain’s parliament to form a new government on Thursday, bringing four months of political paralysis in Madrid to an end.The 51-year-old premier prevailed in a vote in Spain’s hyper-fractured, 350-seat parliament, obtaining yea votes from every left-wing and separatist group. In all, 179 lawmakers backed Sánchez.All seven lawmakers belonging to the Catalan separatist Junts party, which had the power to either make Sánchez prime minister or force Spain to hold new elections, voted in his favor. So, too, did the sole representative of the Canarian Coalition, who last month also voted in favor of center-right Popular Party leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo’s failed bid to form a government.As expected, the 171 lawmakers belonging to Feijóo’s party and the far-right Vox group, as well as the conservative Navarrese People’s Union, voted against the socialist candidate.Sánchez’s win in parliament conc...

Restaurant review: Educazione Napoletana

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 18:45:43 GMT

Rue du Mail 1What’s good? Educazione Napoletana does what it says on the tin: It is a compendium of all things Naples, the gritty and picturesque city that gave the world pizza and “O sole mio.”  Its sophisticated menu includes five different pizza categories — Gourmet, comfort food-ish Fried, Traditional, Special pizzas, and name-dropping VIP pizzas — plus a vast selection of antipasti, and stuffed pizzas known as panuozzi.None of the novelty pizzas strays into the outrageous — pineapple on pizza is “violence,” reads a poster in the dining room, and ordering a pineapple pizza costs a punitive €100. Yours truly had a Matteo Mevio (VIP), a pesto-soaked take on the O.G. Margherita, and wolfed it down in three minutes flat. The tiramisù, served in a disassembled coffee machine, is also a highlight. What’s not? The conscious eater (such as yours truly’s dining mate, who got a Vegetariana) may balk at the restaurant’s unabashedly indulgent cuisine. Expect...

Mild Now… Weekend Rain Drop to Temps Drops

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 18:45:43 GMT

As temps pushed to near 50 with plenty of sunshine yesterday, overall, it was a perfectly fine November day. Today, we’ll have perfectly fine October weather as temps head into the lower 60s with a ton of sunshine and light afternoon breezes. Great to get some of that yardwork done, or hang up some Christmas lights if that’s on your to-do list. Tomorrow, we’ll step it up another notch with highs in the mid 60s. However, we’ll watch a gusty breeze to develop out of the southwest, gusting 20-30mph in the afternoon. More clouds advance in too, especially in the afternoon. Friday night into Saturday morning, we’ll track to systems across the area that’ll impact our weather. As a cold front approaches from the west, and an area of low pressure nears us from our south, the chance for showers go up. The highest risk of steady rain Saturday morning is across the mid to lower Cape and the Islands, as it’ll be closest to the area of low pressure blowi...
