The Three-Cornererd Hat

This week's topics include the scandal plaguing Spain's Royal Family and the new development that Infanta Cristina won't have to testify in court in the investigation into financial irregularities in her husband Iñaki Urdangarín's Noos Foundation, continued strike action against privatization by doctors and nurses in Madrid and a parallel non-binding popular referendum on the issue of public or private management of health care services, and a major trade agreement between the EU and the USA--one that could be among the biggest free trade deals in history--on which negotiations are soon to get underway (10/05/13).
