The disastrous management of a local issue — a censure motion against the mayor of Ponferrada — has turned into a major headache for Socialist Party leader Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba.
The Socialist councilor who became mayor of the town in León province last Friday thanks to support from a convicted sex offender has decided to go rogue and forego his own party membership rather than give up his seat, as central headquarters has said it wants him to do.

US warns Catalan government about proposed “Coca-Cola tax”
Despite lobbying by ambassador to ditch the levy, premier Artur Mas remains inflexible.
The tax on sugary beverages proposed by the government of Catalonia has mobilized the US Embassy in Spain. United States Ambassador Alan D. Solomont of Madrid met with Catalan regional premier Arthur Mas in Barcelona to discuss the potential impact on American beverage companies, primarily Coca-Cola and Pepsi. Solomont has stated that this levy would be detrimental for these US companies in Catalonia, considering the fact that Coca-Cola and Pepsi hold a combined 70 percent of the soda market. Neither the embassy nor sources surrounding Mas commented on the meeting’s conclusions, which were not publicized.
