Significant rise in the sale of new
cars in the province of Malaga
Growing consumer
confidence and a number
of financial incentives
increased sales of new
cars by 12 per cent to
13,300 in 2013
:: IGNACIO LILLO
MALAGA. If the sales of new cars
is considered one of the principal
indicators of a growing economy,
then the province of Malaga is show-
ing clear signs of recovery.
In the last twelve months 13,300
people in the province have bought
a new vehicle, according to figures
released by the Asociacon
Malaguea de Automocin (AMA
or the Malaga car association), which
controls the sector.
This means a rise of 12 per cent
or 1,500 more cars for private use
sold than in 2012. Company car and
rental car sales make the total 2013
figure 19,291.
Juan Pea, president of AMA, ex-
plained that these real figures con-
firm the optimistic forecasts which
were given for the recovery of con-
sumer confidence.
We wont return to the figures
of 2007 but in recent years sales have
been much lower than normal,
commented Pea who said that,
given its population and character-
istics, Malagas annual car sales in a
period of recovery ought to be
around 20,000 a year.
Malaga is coming out of this cri-
sis faster than other places because
we went into it earlier, said Pea.
Pea also stressed the importance
of residential tourism in the rise in
car sales. The European population
living in Malaga are returning to
their habit of changing their cars
every two to three years, he said.

alternatives such as the Autova

of building a tunnel for traffic

The main problem that the race-
course has had in recent times con-
cerns the Loteras y Apuestas de
Estado (LAE or the state lottery
and betting agency) which is re-
sponsible for race planning in
Spain. The summer race season
means clashes between the Mijas
course and that of La Zarzuela in
Madrid and, in spite of the fact
that more people attend the Mi-
jas race meetings, it is the Madrid
site that has been given more dates
and gets 41,000 euros for each
race day. Mijas council has esti-
mated that in these completely
unjustifiable conditions the
Hipdromo Costa del Sol loses a
million euros a year.
The racecourses original pro-
moter, Antonio Maldonado, has
been key in the attempts by the
council to keep the site open.
Faced with the decision by the
LAE to situate the majority of
horse races in Madrid, Maldonado
has concentrated on searching for
other activities for the Hipdromo.
Currently these include a second-
hand market, an international
football school and a a go-karting
rink among others.
The crisis has not helped mat-
ters. Fundamental issues, like find-
ing sponsors for the prizes given to
winning horses, became very dif-
ficult.

course in Spain has never been

Court summons for
the Infanta Cristina
The judge in the Nos
case has formerly
accused the kings
younger daughter of
fraud and money
laundering
:: MELCHOR SIZ-PARDO
MADRID. Jos Castro, the judge in
charge of the Nos case, has issued
a second court summons to the In-
fanta Cristina in a long and damn-
ing statement outlining his reasons.
The Infanta Cristina at the time of her first court summons last year which was suspended. :: EFE In his insistence that the Infanta
should be questioned as a suspect
on March 8th, the judge has pro-
duced a 227-page document. In it
he specifies the evidence that he
has gathered against Cristinas hus-
band, Iaki Urdangarin, which also
points to her involvement in fraud
and money laundering. Both of
these crimes were apparently car-
ried out through the accounts of Ai-
zoon, the company she co-owned
with her husband.
The first of Castros arguments is
that it is his unavoidable duty as the
judge investigating the case to hear
the Infantas version of events, bear-
ing in mind that there is evidence
of her participation in Urdangarins
alleged crimes. He argues that not
doing anything with the existing
proof would amount to perversion
of justice.
Castro has also rejected the need
to give the Infanta special treatment
because of her position as a promi-
nent member of the royal family.
He added that nobody should be sur-
prised that he would like to inter-
rogate her.
Turning a blind eye
For the judge the mountain of ir-
regularities committed by Aizoon
would have been impossible if the
Infanta had not looked the other
way.
He said that Urdangarin would
have had difficulty defrauding the
tax authorities without at least the
knowledge and acquiescence of his
wife. The judge believes it impossi-
ble that the Infanta, highly edu-
cated, was not aware of the alleged
irregularities carried out by her hus-
band, all the more since his busi-

peal against the latest move to
force her to give evidence in
court.

though the Infanta was keen to
see justice done, she would not

ness dealings were the subject of
debate in the Balearic courts as long
ago as 2006. Whats more she never
used her joint holding in Aizoon to
put a stop to the alleged crimes. On
the contrary, there are more than
enough indications that she actively
collaborated in the fraud.
Castro recognises that in terms
of the Infantas earnings from her
job at La Caixa and funds from the
royal family, there are no signs of
irregularities. However when it
comes to other assets, this is not the
case. The Infanta never declared any
dividends from Aizoon and the com-
pany claimed, on paper, not to give
out dividends but instead to keep
all its profits as excess funds.
Personal expenses
The reality was different because
the two partners - the Infanta and
Urdangarin - were apparently using
the companys profits for a continu-
ous stream of personal expenses that
had nothing to do with Aizoon.
These include foreign trips, meals
out, presents, private coaching ses-
sions, home renovations as well as
birthday parties.
Everything points to the Infanta
participating in the organisation and
budgeting of these private family
occasions, claims Castro. Addition-
ally the Infanta only spent 3,000
euros from her private funds in eight
years. She also hired domestic staff
illegally, paying them in cash. In or-
der to regularise their position she
then gave them Aizoon contracts
knowing they would not be work-
ing for the company.
In Castros opinion the presence
of the Infanta, the Kings youngest
daughter, as co-owner ofAizoon acted
as a shield to stop the tax authorities
investigating any irregularities.
The Infanta ensured that Aizoon
became an essential part of the proc-
ess of committing fraud and tax eva-
sion, concludes the judge in his
summons.
The Infanta could still avoid her
court appearance as she did earlier
this year. This time it will be the
same judges responsible for sus-
pending her first summons last May
who will have to make the final de-
cision again about the Infantas
court appearance.
Talking about Jose Castros
court summons, Roca said that,
while he respected the judges
dealings, This is not a game of
football. It is a serious matter
that will have to take into ac-
count human rights, private in-
terests and evaluations.
Though the respected lawyer
would not disclose the contents
of his legal teams appeal against
the summons he has said, I can
reveal that we will be defending
the right of the Infanta to not be
called in this case.

Year-on-year unemployment
falls for first time since 2004
The number of registered

and government shared optimism
at the end of last week when unem-

vealed as the best (or least bad as
they were described in Spanish)
since the beginning of the crisis.
In the province of Malaga the
year-on-year result was a fall of 3.87
per cent leaving a total of 202,712
people registered as unemployed,
8,160 fewer than in 2012.
The overall picture, however, is
incomplete without the number of

many of those who left the unem-

because they found employment,
and not for another reason.

tive, with an increase of 1.31 per
cent in workers paying into the sys-
tem, 6,375 more than at the end of

Prices that will rise in 2014

The Law of De-indexation

MADRID. 2014 is going to be a year
of many changes with regard to the
fixing of prices. The Law of De-in-
dexation, which was approved by
the Cabinet of Ministers in Decem-
ber and which is now beginning its
parliamentary process, comes into
force this year; a new mechanism
will be designed to determine the
electricity tariff; and, for the first
time, pensions will not be revalued
in line with the Consumer Price In-
dex but through a formula that takes
into account the income and expen-
diture of the system. There is, how-
ever, something that will not change.
January has brought increases in the
price of basic products.
To begin with, the electricity bills
in 14 million homes and one and a
half million small businesses will
rise by an average of 2.3 per cent dur-
ing the first quarter. From April, it
is possible that a new system will ex-
ist - the government is proposing
monthly auctions instead of quar-
terly ones - and we will see whether
electricity becomes more or less ex-
pensive. Spain has the third most ex-
pensive electricity in Europe, accord-
ing to figures from the ECs office of
statistics.
Transport will also be more ex-
pensive. An expected rise in fuel
prices combined with a fare increase
that had already been decided by the
Renfe railway company will result
in an increase of 1.9 per cent on rail
tickets for local (Cercanas), mid-dis-
tance (normal and Avant) and Feve
services. In 2013, these tickets went
up by three per cent, following a 10.9

There could be some unpleasant

As well as this, there is a change
to the fiscal regime applicable to
profits arising from certain intan-

to facilitate their application. A tax
rebate system is also being applied
to recover the deductions for R+D+i
during a year. However, the main
change is the special regulation re-

Another change to the rate of IVA
will affect the notarial processes of
financial transactions such as mort-
gages and the sale of shares. Until
now, these have not been subject to
IVA because they were classed as fi-
nancial operations (upon which IVA
is not payable), but Brussels has de-
cided that they are not, and should
be subject to IVA at 21 per cent.
Meanwhile, Telefnica has an-
nounced that it will not increase its
monthly charge in January so this
will remain at 14.38 euros. However,
this does not mean that the line
rental will remain the same all year,
because in 2013 the company in-
creased it by 2.9 per cent in April.
These increases are in contrast to
the salary freeze approved by the
government for civil servants in 2014
and the minimum salary, which re-
mains the same at 645.30 euros a
month. The collective bargaining
agreement between unions and em-
ployers stipulated wage restraint
with an increase of no more than 0.6
per cent if the CPI rises by less than
one per cent - at the moment, the
government expects it to grow by
0.7 per cent. On top of this, pensions
will only go up by 0.25 per cent.
These are no longer in line with the
CPI but are updated according to a
different formula.
It is not only pensions that will
no longer be linked to inflation. The
Law of De-indexation of the Econ-
omy that has been approved by the
Cabinet of Ministers and sent to Par-
liament separates the prices of pub-
lic services from the CPI and creates
a new reference index for the private
sector. Price increases in the public
sector will have to be justified exclu-
sively by rises in the cost of the serv-
ice. In the private sector, increases
will depend upon the wishes of the
parties: if there is no explicit agree-
ment, they will not be updated and
if the pact does not specify a refer-
ence index, the new Guarantee of
Competitiveness Index (IGC) will
be used. This will be the same as the
rate of inflation in the Euro Zone mi-
nus a corrective factor. The IGC will
have a ceiling of two per cent (the
ECB inflation target in the medium
term) and a floor of 0%.
The public services affected bythis
law represent approximately seven
per cent of the family budget. While
it is being passed through Parliament,
an amendment to the Finance Law,
which has already been approved,
specifies a temporary regulation.

creases in public services such as

Spains latest pension reforms
The government
claims that changes to
the pensions system
will guarantee its
sustainability
:: GEORGE PRIOR
MALAGA. Spains highly conten-
tious new state pension reforms have
now come into effect. The modifica-
tions restrict how much payouts can
rise and introduce annual increases
to the statutory retirement age.
From the 1st January 2014, pen-
sions increases are no longer pegged
with inflation. From now on, they
will rise by a minimum of 0.25 per
cent each year and will only go up
further than this if the countrys so-
cial security system is in a surplus
situation. The increments will be
capped at 0.5 per cent above the rate
of inflation.
On this basis, it is widely expected
that this year pensions will rise by
the fixed minimum - 0.25 per cent -
owing to the states delicate finan-
cial situation. This means that should
2014 end with inflation at one per
cent, as the government forecasts,
Spains nine million retirees in re-
ceipt of the state pension will find
that their spending power will fall by
0.75 per cent. Reversely, should it re-
main at 0.2 per cent, they will gain
0.05 per cent in real terms.
From 2019 onwards state pensions
are to be calculated using a so-called
sustainability formula that ties pay-
outs with life expectancy, resulting
in pensions payments falling as life
expectancy increases.
In 2027 the pensionable age will
be increased to 67 and will then sub-
sequently increase progressively every
year. The idea is that people will have
contributed for a minimum of 25
years before drawing a state pension.
The government says that these
measures will ensure the strained
pension systems financial viabil-
ity for generations to come. It
claims that action is needed be-
cause of a fundamental shift in
demographics - namely that Spain,
like many other Western countries
including the UK and Holland, has
an ageing population.
Research by the University of Na-
varras IESE Business School reveals
that in 2010 there were 3.6 potential
paying contributors to every pen-
sioner. Should the current trend con-
tinue as it is now, the ratio will plum-
met to 2.5 by 2030 and 1.6 by 2050.
To continue to fund its pensions,
Spain will need 26.5 million immi-
grants over the next 40 years, or
roughly 665,000 per year. But only
70,000 immigrants arrived in 2010,
reads the report.
Institutional reaction
In its recent assessment on the re-
forms, Fedea, the Foundation for the
Study of Applied Economics, a Ma-
drid-based think tank, broadly wel-
comed the changes as the sustain-
ability of the system is guaranteed.
However, it also concluded that gov-

sion system have been met with fury
by many of the foreign residents who
draw, or who will do so in the near
future, a pension in Spain. One reader
of this newspaper who declined to
be named says: They keep moving
the goalposts. Im going to start claim-
ing now before the money runs out
more than it already has done.
Another, San Roque resident Kathy
Torres, comments: Making millions
of pensioners, who are forming a
larger and larger proportion of the
population, poorer over time, is not
the answer. These peoples acquisi-
tion power should, if anything, be in-
creased in order to help the wider
economy, especially when youth un-
employment is so high.
Whilst Dennis Smythe, who
lives in Benalmdena, adds: Many
pensioners in Spain, as far as I can
see, are already living on or below
the poverty line - for many reasons
including that they are having to
support children and grandchil-
dren financially because of the cri-
sis. Capping pensions will exacer-
bate the problem.
If you limit and cut back on pen-
sions when the number of pension-
ers is rising you will push more and
more into poverty.

In the run-up to the passage of the proposed
new abortion law through parliament and

:: SUR
Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy had
hoped that the ruling PPs first na-
tional executive committee meet-
ing of 2014, held on Wednesday
this week behind closed doors,
would show a united front in fa-
vour of the new abortion law, or
at least that the controversy could
be contained and not end in a party
rift. He arrived at the meeting tell-
ing the committee: My discourse
is going to be about the economy
and I hope yours is too but there
was too much opposition within
the party for him to get his way.
Four presidents of autonomous
communities insisted that conces-
sions were needed so that the law
wouldnt go through with the sole
support of the PP, while the Dep-
uty Congressional Speaker Celia
Villalobos demanded a free vote
on the bill.
Malformation
The main concession the presi-
dents want to see concerns the
right to abort in cases of severe foe-
tal malformation, which was in-
cluded in the 1985 law to which
the current proposal largely re-
verts, but not in the one proposed
now by Justice Minister Alberto
Ruiz-Gallardn.
Messages
The new law, which was approved
by the cabinet last month and will
go to Congress after the European
elections on May 25th, has come
under fierce criticism from human
rights organisations, feminist
groups, health experts and politi-
cal parties. In Malaga last Satur-
day, a protest was held in the Plaza
de la Constitucin led by the
Marea Violeta (Violet Tide) and
Asamblea Antipatriarcal groups
which regularly meet in the city
centre to protest against cuts and
other government measures. Last
weekend they carried a vagina
made of foam rubber and messages
such as Mi cuerpo es mo, yo de-

position to try and put a stop to

thousands of women die because
of illegal abortions, she said.
Another symbol appearing in the
streets of Malaga and on religious
buildings alludes to this same out-
come of illegal abortion practices.
Alongside the slogan Saca tus ro-
sarios de mis ovarios (Keep your
rosaries away from my ovaries)
protesters have painted the shape
of coat hangers with the message
Nunca ms (Never again).
Nerja
Another group in Nerja, going un-
der the name of Mara del Rosa-
rio y sus ovarios (Mary of the Ro-
sary and her ovaries), has claimed
responsibility for graffiti daubed
on a house in the town on New
Years Day. In this case, the violet
coloured symbol which they say
represents a rosary in the shape of
ovaries appeared with the slogan
Aborto Ruiz-Gallardn under-
neath.
The house belongs to the Utr-
era Molina family and the Minis-
ter of Justice, Alberto Ruiz-Gal-
lardn, who is married to one of
Jos Utreras daughters and spent
time there over the Christmas and
new year holiday.
Five different paintings ap-
peared on the walls early on Janu-
ary 1st but they were apparently
not reported to the police or Civil
Guard, who only found out about
this particular act of vandalism
when SUR made contact to ask
about it.
Against graffiti
Not all the protest groups are in
favour of all the methods being
used to make the pro-choice point.
When graffiti appeared on several
religious buildings in Malaga, the
Plataforma Violencia Cero - which
brings together a number of
womens rights movements - spoke
out against this way of delivering
a message.

door were both broken into on the
same night last Easter. The thieves
cut fences at the back of the prop-
erties and we were devastated at
the time. Since then our neighbours
have sold their property.
On the 29th December our new
neighbours introduced themselves
and we told them about the bur-
glary and warned them about keep-
ing the house safe. That very same
night thieves broke into their house
again through the same fence and
stole iPads, mobile phones and so
on.

Then on the 2nd January we re-
turned home from an evening out
to find the thieves had struck at our
home again. It is not only the loss
of the items they stole, the intru-
sion and knowing someone else has
been through your belongings but
now when we are at home we are
living in in fear that they will re-
turn again while we are in the house.
It feels like the thieves are system-
atically working through homes in
the countryside. They must be
watching the houses and our move-
ments through binoculars. It has
come to the point where we are talk-
ing about selling the property be-
cause we just do not want to live
like this.
Stuart shared his experiences on
a Facebook group called Whats on
in Con and surrounding areas and
now other victims of recent burgla-
ries are also calling for all residents
in the area to share information
through the online group and a Face-
book based neighbourhood watch
group covering the area where the
burglaries are taking place. Stuart
and the other victims hope that by
encouraging people to post details
of any suspicious activity or unfa-
miliar vehicles parked for periods
of time and sharing details of break-
ins, that it might help prevent more
thefts and provide valuable infor-
mation that can be shared with the
local police authorities.

Mijas aims for World Heritage Site status
The application process through UNESCO is likely to take several years to complete
The mayor of Mijas has
proposed that its

Nozal, has this week set in motion
the process for Mijas Pueblo to po-
tentially be declared a UNESCO
World Heritage Site, in order to

Andalusian architecture.
The United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organiza-
tions (UNESCO) World Heritage
Sites are places that are listed by
the international organisation as
being of special cultural or physi-
cal significance.
Nozal has instructed various dif-
ferent council departments to ini-
tiate the request with UNESCO.
Simultaneously, the regional gov-
ernment, the Junta de Andaluca,
has been asked to propose to the
Ministry of Culture in Madrid to
include Mijas Pueblo on its list that
it sends to UNESCO annually for
consideration.
The process to be awarded the
World Heritage Site distinction is
notoriously lengthy, unless the site
in question is an under-threat land-
mark or destination which, of
course, Mijas is not. Therefore, it
is likely that UNESCOs commit-
tee will take a minimum of two
years, and probably longer still, to
decide whether this popular moun-
tainside village deserves the badge
of honour and protection.
Of the bid, a Town Hall spokes-

of excessive urban growth over re-
cent decades.
Highlighted too were Mijas pic-

simple whitewashed buildings,
with balconies bursting with flow-
ers and its location that affords
views to the pine-covered moun-
tains and wonderful views down
to the sea and the large tourist cen-
tres of Torreblanca and Fuengirola.
UNESCO criteria
These statements would seem to
appeal specifically to one of the
main criteria set out by UNESCO
in order to be considered as a World
Heritage Site. One of the univer-
sally exceptional values estab-
lished in the 1972 Paris Conven-
tion stipulates that a nomination
site could be an outstanding ex-
ample of a traditional human set-
tlement, land-use, or sea-use which
is representative of a culture, or
human interaction with the envi-
ronment especially when it has be-
come vulnerable under the impact
of irreversible change.
Mijas would, say proponents of
this measure, also fulfil the crite-
ria that states a bid could represent
an outstanding example of a type
of architecture or technological en-
semble or landscape which illus-
tery took place last weekend in La
Plaza de los Siete Caos of Mijas
Pueblo.
A little after five in the afternoon,
two of the animals in question began
to walk around the square without
the nappies that Mijas donkeys have
had to wear in recent years. The ab-
sence of this sanitary item was a fun-
damental part of drawing the lucky
lottery prize-winner.
The members of the Pea Santana,
a neighbourhood association in charge
of organising the fund-raising event,
had divided the square into blocks
over which the donkeys were led for
just over an hour and a half until the
call of nature happened. Only then
could the holder of block number

In 1969 Mijas Pueblo was

be identified as the winner of the
prize - Antonio Moreno, the head of
a family from Las Lagunas with all of
its members currently unemployed.
The charitable event, run to make-
money for good causes, was named
Qu burrada de da (a play on words
- burrada means a herd of donkeys
but also, colloquially, a shitload). In
spite of the fact that the donkeys were
the stars of the show, all kinds of other
events were organised throughout
the day for every age group. These in-
cluded childrens games, free chur-
ros, a handicraft market and folk
dancing displays.
Antonio Mota, a member of the
Pea Santana, recognised that the
idea was not totally original but an
adaption of a similar event which was
organised in the Huelva town of Car-
taya. On that occasion the animal
tasked with passing on good luck to
someone was a cow.
In Mijas, it couldnt be anything
other than the towns emblematic

history, and also demands that it
should be tangibly associated with
events or living traditions.
Mijas Pueblo was recognised as
an Area of Historical and Artistic
Importance in 1969 and this is
something the Councillor of Tour-
ism believes stands the village in
good stead with UNESCO.
Santiago Martn comments: If
we embellish the characteristics
that led Mijas to be declared an Area
of Historical and Artistic Impor-
tance, then we stand a better
chance of being declared a World
Heritage Site.
The starting of the process to be
listed as a UNESCO World Heritage
site follows a multifaceted gentri-
fication programme in the village.
This has included the installation
of traditional, brightly coloured
wall-mounted flower pots in the
streets, the removal of overhead
cabling, plus the removal of un-
sightly external air-conditioning
units and television aerials.
Mijas residents have welcomed
the bid process started this week,
with one, Dutch-born Harry Leeu-
wen, commenting: Anything that
can add another layer of protection
to this beautiful village and its sur-
roundings is a good thing for those
who live here and those who come
and enjoy it on holiday. It is a treas-
ure and should be valued so. The
UNESCO award will help all this
be passed on to future generations.
Besides the man-made and natu-
ral landmarks such as the Pyramids
of Egypt and Australias Great Bar-
rier Reef, currently there are 254
cities, towns and villages which
are World Heritage Sites. 17 of
these are in Spain, and three - Gra-

Luxury tourism is the way for-

they are looking for luxury ho-

great views. We need innovative
architects who, with gentle hand,
can integrate skyscrapers into

More land will need to be re-
classified for building to create
income for the Town Hall in the
form of taxes, licences, new jobs
for hotel staff and the employ-

nies, therefore embracing high-
rise buildings/skyscrapers is the
key to success! It has the advan-
tage of packing a lot of people

land should be expropriated else-
where with good locations close
to amenities and beaches.

Griffiths returns to lead
OFM into the new year
Howard Griffiths raises his baton in Malaga this weekend
The British conductor,
who has been awarded
an MBE, is guest
conducting the Malaga
Philharmonic Orchestra
(OFM) at the Cervantes
:: TOM REES
MALAGA. Its like eating; you
wouldnt want to go to a Chinese res-
taurant every evening.You might go
once or twice a week but not every
night; its the same with repertoire,
explains Howard Griffiths who is
guest conducting in Malaga this
weekend. The allegory the British
conductor, who will be leading the
Malaga Philharmonic Orchestra at
the Cervantes Theatre on Friday the
10th and Saturday the 11th, is try-
ing to get across is that his favour-
ite composer changes with every
project he undertakes. But its still
a little surprising to hear a prestig-
ious conductor compare Mozart and
Shostakovich to Chinese and In-
dian takeaway.
Griffiths, who has been chief con-
ductor at two renowned European
orchestras and has been awarded with
an MBE, is tackling a Russian pro-
gramme for his two dates in Malaga
where he has conducted on multiple
occasions including two incredible
concerts in front of 3000 people in
Malagas cathedral.
Griffiths is only too pleased to soak
up the citys winter sun and the cul-
ture on the southern coast of Spain
clearly appeals to the Swiss resident.
The colours here are just incredible.
You can see why Picasso lived here
and became such a great artist. The
general atmosphere is completely dif-
ferent to Northern Europe, he says,
just after coming out of rehearsals
with the orchestra he is leading this
week.
The Brit began his career by play-
ing viola professionally in the orches-
tras where he would hone his craft
and learn from the other conductors.
Griffiths says that he learned as much
from the bad conductors as the good
ones, saying that the former were
equally as important in showing him
how not to do it.
He then led the Zurich Chamber
Orchestra for ten years, taking over
the reins from founder Edmond de
Stoutz who had conducted the or-
chestra for over 50 years, starting in
1945. Although Griffiths says that
reaching ten years as a conductor
there was just incredible, he felt
that after ten years you have to make
a change. Chamber music itself was
too limited in repertoire for him to
continue.
Since 2007, Griffiths has been the
chief conductor for the Brandenbur-
gisches Staatsorchester (BSOF) which
is based in Frankfurt, Germany, and
has just extended his contract with
the orchestra until 2018. Despite his
commitment in Germany he still gets
the opportunity to guest conduct or-
chestras across Europe.
Its quite clear that in the studio,
as well as in the concert halls, Grif-
fiths is not content with standing in
one place for too long. The Hastings-
born conductor has produced over
100 CDs and his vast discography has

Howard Griffiths will conduct

tra on Friday the 10th at 8.30pm
and on Saturday the 11th of Janu-

to 21 euros. Two soloists, Isaay
Shaer on piano and ngel San Bar-
tolom on trumpet, accompany
the orchestra which is playing the
eighth programme in the
2013/2014 season.
The programme is all Russian

Griffiths says is a serious piece of
music but full of irony and sar-
casm and a selection from Sergei
Prokofievs Romeo and Juliet.

allowed him to experiment with his
output. Griffiths specialises in record-
ing the work of Swiss and Turkish
contemporary composers and also
enjoys searching the hidden corners
of the library to find rare gems which
he can reproduce with an orchestra.
I love discovering unknown rep-
ertoire. I go into the library and there
are some wonderful pieces to discover
but nobody plays this stuff anymore.
Its not every time you win the lotto
but a lot of the stuff I have found has
been very revealing and should be
played more often, says Griffiths
whose latest collections released in-
clude pieces by Louis Spohr and a love
story told through European classi-
cal pieces in an album entitled Tea
for two.
Family
Griffithss son is also a conductor and
the fourth generation of musically
gifted individuals in his family. It
runs in the family, my grandmother
played in an orchestra and in silent
movies. That was her passion. My fa-
ther played the organ in a church un-
til the age of 90 and that also was a
great tradition for him, recalls the
conductor who began as a violinist
before moving on to the viola. Its lit-
tle wonder then that he believes that
a passion for classical music must be
sparked during childhood.

Two dog trainers from Almoga and

In spite of the increase in burglaries,

43% of homes in Spain are not insured
According to the Study of Burglaries in Spain carried out by Lnea Directa's Home Insurance Division,, which analysed the official data on bur-
glaries in Spanish homes in the last 6 years and the opiniion of 1,500 home owners throughout Spain, the number of burglaries has increased
as a result of the crisis. In spite of this, the insurer's sources show that "only 43% of houses are insured."

Burgglaries are a concern for many people. In fact, over 90% of the home owners taking part in the survey y thought that the law needed to be
strengthened in order to prevent this type of crime, for which th he punishment is a prison sentence of up to 5 years. Furthermore, almost 40%
of victims consider thatt reporting burglaries to the police has little or no effect, and almost 45% believe that the work ca arried out by the State
Security Forces in their investigations has been a failure. In fact, accordin ng to the Ministry of the Interior's own data, although the number of
people arrested for burglary ha as increased by 123% since 2007, only 11% of the cases recorded last year were resolved.

The most common type of burglary is committed in family homes (such as detached houses) at the weekend and d in broad daylight. The most
common methods used are: breaking in through windows (40%), removing lo ocks (19.2%) or the so-called "slide method" (14%), which invol-
ves opening the door with an X-ray or credit card. The cost of burglary is considerable: the average cost of homes burgled last year rea ached
732, a figure which is particularly significant in times of crisis. As for the objects which arre stolen, money (64%), jewellery (57%) and elec-
tronic devices (54%) are the ones most sought afterr by burglars.

Most burglaries in Levante, fewest inland

With the aim of analysing the real scope of burglaries in homes in Spain, Lnea Directa has compared the Ministry of the Interior's data from
its official crime figures with the total number of homes in our country, which currently stands at around 26 million. This analysis reveals that
homes in the Community of Valencia, Baleares and Murcia are those which are burgled the most, while those in Astu urias, Extremadura and
Castile and Len are where the number of burglaries recorded is the lowest.

Ac
ccording to Francisco Valencia, Director of Corporate Governance in Lnea Directa, "analysing the datta from the report, it is remarkable that
around 11 million Spanish homes are still uninsured and ano
other 4 million do not have any type of security measure installed. As a result, it is
very importantt to increase safety measures and include theft cover when taking out home insurance, especially takiing into account that the
home is still the main investment for Spanish people."

TALES FROM THE ENGLISH CEMETERY LIZ PARRY

The German connection

The valiant efforts of the people of Malaga to rescue
German sailors after the Gneisenau disaster earned the
on behalf of her son King
city the honorary title of most hospitable Alfonso XIII, bestowed the
honorary title of muy hos-
pitalaria (very hospitable)
on the city of Malaga. The
words can be read on the top
right of the city shield. Other
mottos to which the city is
entitled are La primera en
el peligro de la libertad, la
muy noble, muy leal, muy
hospitalaria, muy benfica y
siempre denodada Ciudad de
Mlaga (The first in the dan-
ger of freedom, the very no-
ble, very loyal, very hospita-
ble, very charitable and always daunt-
less city of Malaga).
The story and the links didnt end
with a new motto. In 1907 the city
was devastated by floods caused by
a torrent of water and mud from the
mountains north of the city. The
lower lying areas of the city, such as
El Perchel and La Trinidad, suffered
most, as the water came down the
Guadalmedina river and rose as high
as five metres, so that people had to
be rescued from their upper win-
dows. Twenty one died in la riada,
and two of the bridges over the Gua-
dalmedina were swept away.
Hearing of this new disaster, the
German government sent funds to
be used for a new bridge to replace
the old Santo Domingo bridge. To
this day it is commonly known as
the Puente de los
alemanes The

T
he history of the
English Cemetery in
Malaga is closely
linked to that of the
city itself in many
ways, but none
closer than the link deriving from
a disaster in December 1900, which
would lead to royal recognition of
the spirit of the city, a new bridge,
and an annual commemoration of
the ties between Germany and
Malaga.
The Gneisenau was a training
ship belonging to the Imperial Ger-
man Navy and in December 1900 she
was anchored off the Malaga shore,
with a crew of 470 men, waiting to
pick up a German diplomat. On the
15th, the Malaga port authorities
warned Captain Kretschmann that
high winds were approaching and
recommended he take shelter in the
port, but he decided to weather the
storm at sea. The following morning
the ships moorings broke and the
Gneisenau, battered by the tempest,
quickly sank.
The people of Malaga scrambled
to help, setting out in boats to rescue
as many of the sailors as they could,
and throwing ropes from the harbour
walls to pull in survivors. They were
unable to save the lives of 42 of the
crew, including the captain and chief
engineer, all of whose remains now
lie in the English cemetery. Twelve
Malagueos also drowned in the ef-
fort to save the sailors.
Those who survived were taken
in and looked after by the people of
Malaga, including some German resi-
dents, and those in need of hospital
treatment were taken to the Hos-
pital Noble (incidentally a Malaga
hospital built on instructions left in
the will of another foreign resident
buried in the cemetery, Dr Noble).
The disaster, and its aftermath, was
widely reported on both in the Span-
ish and international press, and a
few days later the Queen Regent,
puente agradecida al heroico aux-
ilio que la ciudad prest a los nu-
fragos de la fragata de guerra Gneis-
enau (Germany donated this bridge
to Malaga in gratitude for the he-
roic assistance the city gave to the
shipwrecked crew of the frigate
Gneisenau).
Every year in December, wreaths
are laid at the monument in the Eng-
lish Cemetery for the victims of the
Gneisenau, in the presence of repre-
santatives of the German Marine
Corps.

The most common cause of iron
deficiency is a poor diet
Iron is found in red meat,
lentils, nuts and leafy
green vegetables such as
spinach and kale. Just by
increasing these in the
diet can bring results
:: SOPHIE HERDMAN
There are many different types of
anaemia - from vitamin B12 to folate
deficiencies - but by far the most com-
mon form is iron-deficiency anae-
mia, and it affects more people than
you might think.
The World Health Organisation
(WHO) says that over 30 per cent of
the worlds population is anaemic,
mainly due to a lack of iron.
In fact, as Dr Shahzadi Saleem, a
family doctor, points out, iron defi-
ciency is one of the most common -
if not the most common - nutritional
disorders.
Put simply, iron deficiency means
that levels of haemoglobin, a protein
that transports oxygen through the
blood, are below normal.
Dr Saleem says that normal levels
are measured as 13.5g per decilitre in
men, 11.5 in women and 11 in preg-
nant women.
The main symptoms are chronic
tiredness and lethargy.
Thats the most common thing
that people present to the doctor,
HEARING
PROBLEMS?
says Dr Saleem. Then we expand
upon it and theyre usually also feel-
ing short of breath on exertion. They
might also be suffering with palpita-
tions, anxiety and hair loss.
These symptoms might seem
small, but they can have a big impact
on your life.
If youre feeling anxious, that can
make you feel depressed. It can have
a domino effect on the quality of your
life, says Dr Saleem.
Other symptoms include head-
aches, constipation, recurrent coughs
and colds, having a sore mouth and
what Dr Saleem describes as a geo-
graphical tongue.
You have a pattern on the tongue
which is dermatitis; its classical to
iron deficiency, but usually you just
have a sore tongue, and sometimes
people can have difficulty swallow-
ing because they have a dry mouth.
Sometimes children will develop
pica - urges to eat non-food items,
such as mud or paper.
Iron-deficiency anaemia can also
occur as a result of another illness,
like a stomach ulcer which causes
chronic blood loss, inflammatory
bowel disease which reduces the
amount of iron absorbed in the body,
and chronic kidney disease, where
red blood cells are not produced at
the normal rate.
When this is the case, people might
not think that theyre anaemic, as

they just assume their symptoms are
caused by their ongoing illness.
Or, if its slow bleeding from the
stomach, it might be such a gradual
process that people are not aware of
it happening, says Dr Saleem.
Causes
As mentioned, iron-deficiency
anaemia can be a result of a chronic
condition, but there are simpler
causes too.
We also have
the following brands
The most common one is proba-
bly poor dietary intake, says Dr
Saleem. Youre simply not taking
in enough iron-rich food, such as
red meat, nuts, lentils, chicken liver
and green vegetables.
Young women are particularly
at risk of diet-related iron-defi-
ciency.
Women are often more con-
scious of what theyre eating, but
if you are very health and weight
conscious and dont want to eat so
much red meat, opting instead for
lean white meat, you might miss
out on iron.
Some women may experience
lower iron levels during their pe-
riods too.
Iron-deficiency anaemia can also
be a common feature of coeliac dis-
ease, a digestive condition whereby
the body responds badly to gluten.
It can cause people to lose a lot of
vegetables like kale, its less likely
to be a problem.
Lastly, Dr Saleem says that she
sees a lot of toddlers who, because
they are difficult to feed, are given
a lot of milk by their parents.
Milk doesnt contain iron, so
although they are getting their calo-
rific needs, theyre not getting the
nutritional balance. Those parents
need to cut back on milk and give
their children more food that is
similar to their own diet.
Treatment
One of the good things about iron
deficiency is that its easily treat-
able, notes Dr Saleem.
First, she says, you should ad-
dress your diet by trying to incor-
porate more iron-rich foods.
With red meat, people can be
worried about the unhealthy as-
pects of it, but twice a week is fine
as long as youre eating lots of green
vegetables, lentils and nuts.
People can also be concerned
about the cost of beef, so I tell stu-
dents to buy mince, you dont have
to buy a sirloin steak.
Daily iron supplements are also
a great solution.
In fact, Dr Saleem says that any
fit, healthy person who is feeling
a bit tired and run down could take
a daily iron tablet, unless they have
a hereditary blood disorder like tha-
lassemia. And its advisable for any-
body whos on medication or has
existing health conditions to speak
to their doctor before taking any
new supplements.
Recent studies have shown
that, particularly with women,
even if iron levels are within the
normal range but at the lower end
of normal, its worth suggesting
they take an iron supplement, be-
cause it helps to boost energy lev-
els and concentration, and helps to
give you a better well-being effect,
she says.
Ive taken one a day for the last
four years, because Im busy - I
work and Im a mother - and it
helps to keep me going.
If you really want to feel the
benefit of these supplements, take
them with vitamin C, such as or-
ange juice or a satsuma, as this im-

the villi on their intestine, which proves the absorption of iron.

URBAN CATWALK ::
NEW YEAR FASHION
Four bloggers
from Malaga
look at the
principal trends
and colours for
the coming year
New year... new fashion trends!
Which garments will be must-
haves in our wardrobes during
the year that has just begun? Al-
though it is still too soon to take
bets, the styles that have been
paraded down the catwalks at
Spanish and international fash-
ion shows give us some idea of
whats to come and many fash-
ion bloggers in Malaga have taken
careful note of them. With re-
gard to colours, 2014 has begun
in radiant orchid. According to
the Pantone Institute, this will
be the top colour this year, bring-
ing to an end the reign of emer-
ald green which ruled through-
out 2013. It is shade 18-3224,
somewhere between pink and
mauve and is already being fea-
tured strongly by designers like
Emilio Pucci, Amaya Arzuaga,
Max Mara, Burberry Prorsum,
Kenzo and Marc by Marc Jacobs.
Vernica Daz, of the Just-Coco and black high- heeled shoes.

add a feminine touch to a com-
fortable and casual look consist-
ing of a sweatshirt and leather
shorts.
Indigo blue is also romping
ahead this season. Jennifer Ur-
bano, of Divina se nace, bases
her outfit on an eye-catching
coat in this colour and adds a chic
touch with a sophisticated fur
collar and some original mascu-
line bi-colour shoes.
With regard to patterns, it
looks as though spots and dots
will be popular this year while
feathers add a finishing touch
which LouisVuitton has adopted
with enthusiasm. Whats the
most fashionable look? Go for
the so-called matchy matchy,
or even stick to one colour or
print throughout your entire
outfit, as Katia Rodrguez, of the
Petite Lluna blog, suggests. For
men, Antonio Jurado proposes
playing with fashion and being
daring by mixing textures. His
suggestion? A sweater worn
with a blazer, ideal for any
winter evening, he says.

Nadal, from hell to paradise
The Spanish tennis champion finished
the year at the top after a season
that began badly but ended up
being the best of his career

tween the Djokovic who euphori-
cally celebrated his fourth Austra-

lian Open andthe one who was vic-
torious in the Masters Cup. During
that time, Andy Murray made his-
tory and became a legend in Britain
when he won Wimbledon, Federer
showed himself to be more vulner-
able and Ferrer stabilised his posi-
tion among the greats. But above
all, this was a season during which
one tennis player reappeared on the
scene and completed what he de-
scribes as the best year of his life:
Rafa Nadal, the player who walked
away with the highest number of
major titles in 2013. He won the
Roland Garros, the US Open and five
Masters 1000 tournaments: Indian
Wells, Madrid, Rome, Montreal and
Cincinnati. In total, he achieved ten
titles to Djokovics seven. However,
this road to success and the world
throne began badly. The worlds
number one tennis player suffered
in Via del Mar in February because
of problems with his knee, but he
savoured success months later. Na-
dal is the player of the year for hav-
ing begun the season half lame and
still not being 100 per cent. Nobody
imagined that he would start win-
ning everything, former tennis
player Roberto Carretero, who
knows him well, recently told the
media.
This is a Nadal who, despite suf-
fering injury for several months, still
enjoyed himself on the court. There
is a key phrase that he said to me:
What for others is hell, for him is
paradise. That sums it all up. He feels
comfortable even during times like
those and that, for me, is his main
virtue, says Carretero. Nadal en-
joyed Madrid, Rome, Cincinnati - he
won the first tournament he played
on a hard court, a Masters 1000 - and
the Davis Cup, saving Spain from
going down. And above all, he drew
huge acclaim after beating Ferrer
and winning his eighth Roland Gar-
ros following a memorable semi-fi-
nal against Djokovic. These are the
moments in which he smiles on the
tennis court.
Nadals Second US Open
At Wimbledon, Nadals early defeat
in the first round increased the
chances of a Murray who went on
to make history. For the first time
in 77 years, a British player reigned
over the garden of the All England
Tennis Club, although it was a sea-
son that practically ended there for
the Scottish player, hampered by
back problems.
After being defeated on grass, the
hard court and the American tour
The keys to the
forthcoming season
:: COLPISA
Nadal has already started 2014 in style
by winning the Qatar Open in Doha,
the title being his 61st trophy. The
new season already looks promis-
ing for the Spaniard.
Who will be Number One at the
end of the season?
Rafa Nadal and Novak Djokovic have
a great advantage over David Ferrer
in the ATP classification, so it is al-
most inconceivable that one of the
two wont end 2014 as the worlds
Number One. At present Andy Mur-
ray seems the most capable of chal-
lenging them but he has a number
of disadvantages and will also need
time to recover from his recent back
operation.
Will Roger Federer win a new
Grand Slam title?
He only won one minor title in 2013,
the Halle, and is currently ranked
sixth. He is 32 now, has 17 Grand
Slams under his belt and inspires
confidence when not suffering from
back problems. It seems unlikely
that he could compete with Nadal,
January 10th to 16th 2014
SUR IN ENGLISH
brought success again for Nadal. Al-
ready champion in Montreal and
Cincinnati, the US Open was the
culmination of a brutal season in
which he won 26 consecutive
matches on the hard court. I never
thought that something like this
would happen to me. Todays vic-
tory is more than a dream. It couldnt
be better, said Nadal after this tri-
umph in the Big Apple. It was truly
a magnificent year, despite ending
with a defeat by Djokovic in the
Masters Cup, the only title that re-
sisted him.
Federers season was much less
successful than that of the two top
tennis players of the moment. The
best player of all time barely man-
aged to win one tournament -
Halle, in the 250 category - and de-
feating Nadal and Djokovic became
nothing more than a dream. He
ended sixth in the classification,
his worst ranking since 2002, when
he finished in the same place. In
contrast, Ferrer went up a place
and ended up as number three in
the world this season. Looking back
over the year, this Spanish player
has played in a Grand Slam final
for the first time - Nadal was very
Nadal in Paris - has played in the
quarter finals in another three and
came close to winning two Mas-
ters 1000. But this all happened
in what turned out to be Nadals
year. Although he bleeds like the
rest of us, Nadal is different. He is
special, says Roberto Carretero.
Djokovic or Murray on hard court
or clay, but not unreasonable to
think that he could claim his eighth
Wimbledon title.
Will Del Potro be able to compete
with the four best players in the
world?
The career of the winner of the US
Open in 2009 saw his career slow
down afterwards because of a major
wrist injury, although he has already
recovered his place among the worlds
best players. He could be one of the
hardest rivals for Nadal and Djoko-
vic in the next Australian Open.
Are promising young players in
world tennis performing as
expected?
There were a number of young hope-
fuls in 2013: Milos Raonic, Kei Nishik-
ori, Jerzy Janowicz, Grigor Dimitrov
and Vasek Pospisil, all aged under 24.
It is hoped that they continue to do
well in 2014 and get closer to the
number one spot. Raonic is closest
(11th) but he needs to incorporate
some new elements to improve his
game.

Simeones stars snatch victory

Malaga defended resiliently, but conceded the games only goal in the 70th minute
Schuster: It is not
strange to lose to a team
of this calibre who dont
need to play well to win
:: TOM REES
MALAGA. Atltico Madrid mid-
fielder Kokes second half strike was
enough to defeat a resilient Malaga
performance last Saturday. The much
sought after 21-year-old latched on
to a rebound to drive home the only
goal of a game which title-contend-
ing Atltico failed to control.
Schuster opted to name five de-
fenders in his starting lineup in or-
der to help subdue Atlticos prolific
strike force, who have scored nearly
fifty goals already this season and pre-
viously demolished teams like Rayo
Vallecano, Real Betis and Getafe by
sizable margins.
The game, however, wasnt domi-
nated byAtltico who have only failed
to win this season on just two occa-
sions. Malaga started the brighter of
the two sides, coming close to taking
the lead in a goalmouth scramble in
the sixth minute. Antuness free kick
caused chaos in Atlticos box with
Eliseu and Snchez both having at-
tempts blocked before Samu volleyed
the ball over the bar.
Atltico right-back Juanfran burst
into Malagas box for the visitors first
clear opportunity of the afternoon.
Caballero saved the defenders shot
comfortably to his right with his own
defender, Weligton, nearly scoring
an own goal when putting the ball
out for a corner following his keepers
save. Malaga finished the half the bet-
ter side with Eliseu having his tame
shot collected by Courtois and Samu
having his crossfield shot bounce just
wide of the post.
The second half saw Atltico as-
sume a tighter grip on the game al-
though neither side was able to carve
out many goal-scoring opportunities.
Atlticos breakthrough then came
Duda and Caballero after conceding the only goal of the game in the 70th minute. :: SUR
in the 70th minute shortly after a
double substitution brought on Santa
Cruz and Duda with the intent of
snatching a victory.
Diego Costa, who had up until that
point been effectively restrained by
Malagas five-man defence, drew out
three Blue and White players to the
left of the penalty box before sliding
a pass to the unmarked Adrin.
Caballero was quick to close the
midfielder down, saving his shot with
his left boot. Unfortunately, the save
directed the ball into the path of Koke
who, running from deep, slammed
the ball into the back of the net, avoid-
ing the three men on Malagas goal
line desperately trying to intercept
the strike.
Malaga tried to increase the pres-

cut chance to help salvage the game.
that has demolished La The stretched nature of the game
Liga sides in the past favored Atltico who broke away on
a few occasions, the most dangerous
being Diego Costas one-on-one with
Caballero, who bravely smothered
the strikers opportunity.
Overall Schuster was satisfied with
his teams performance with the Ger-
man saying he felt that his team cre-
ated some very good moments but
were undone by the class of the op-
position. Few will scorn the manager
over this defeat.
Bernd Schuster once again
went with three central de-
fenders and two wing-backs.
This kept things very tight in
defence and truth be told nei-
ther Costa or Villa really had a
look in.
Its easy for some fans to ask
for more in attack, but when
you are up against a top side
who can rip you to shreds in
minutes, sometimes you have
to dig in and wait for a chance.
Unfortunately it was a rare
chance and a ricochet that fa-
voured Atltico when Man
United target Koke scored the
winner.
I suppose if we were to point
the finger anywhere it would
be at Malagas final pass which
too many times was poor.
Schuster was right in his
press conference when he said
he thought his team deserved a
point against a decent side,
they did.
Its easy for some fans to
ask for more in attack
but sometimes you have
to dig in and wait
There does seem to be several
worse teams than Malaga in this
league but there are some tough
games ahead, including Barce-
lona away, so points could be
hard to come by.
The winter transfer window
will almost certainly see star
keeper Will Caballero departing,
perhaps to join his old boss
Manuel Pelegrini at Manchester
City.
It will be interesting to see
who else arrives with midfielder
Pablo Prez joining from New-
ells Old Boys. A new striker
who can get goals will be a must.

Pablo Prez reinforces
Blue and Whites squad
The Argentinian-born
midfielder will be
officially presented to
fans on Monday at a
press conference
:: GEORGE PRIOR
MALAGA. Malaga CF have signed
their first player of the January
2014 transfer window: 28-year-old
Pablo Prez, who comes to La
Rosaleda from Argentinas New-
ells Old Boys.
The Argentinian-born midfielder
has signed a three-year deal with
the Martiricos outfit, including
the remainder of this League sea-
son, at a price of a million euros.
The deal, which lasts until 30th
June 2017, was sealed late on
Wednesday evening, as the four-
hour time difference with Argen-
tina slowed the final negotiation
process down somewhat.
Pablo Prez will be officially pre-
sented to the media at La Rosaleda
on Monday, although he made his
debut with his new teammates in
training, under the instruction of
coach, Bernd Schuster, at the Ciu-
dad de Malaga athletics stadium
yesterday morning.
The midfielder arrived in Malaga
last Sunday, and has admitted he
felt somewhat anxious ahead of
the signing of the agreement with
the Martiricos outfit.
Talking on Argentinian radio
earlier this week, Prez com-
mented: I really hope to be able
to meet my new teammates to-
morrow or the day after and begin
training. Im so excited, as this
really is a big deal for me, and
something Ive been working to-
wards since I started my footballing
career. I cant wait to get started
at Malaga CF.
Prez successfully passed the
routine medical at the Clubs
Clnica Rincn on Tuesday, and
along with his representatives, was
in talks with Malaga CFs director
general, Vicente Casado, and sport-
ing director, Mario Armando Hu-
sillos throughout the week until
Wednesday evenings agreement
was signed at nearly midnight.
Mlaga Club de Ftbol already
has the permitted quota (three) of
non-European players in the team,
meaning that the arrival of Prez
could result in the exit of Panamas
Roberto Chen or Chilean-born Pe-
dro Morales.
Italian citizenship
However, a source close to this
newspaper says that the process to
secure the Argentinean an Italian
passport, due to his link to the
country through his wife, are at an
advanced stage.
Although this was not confirmed
at the time of going to print, ac-
cording to the players lawyers, it
is highly likely that the matter
will be resolved over the next few
days.
Sporting director, Mario Husil-
los, is approaching the matter care-
fully, and with as much tact as pos-
sible, as until Pablo Prez receives
his Italian passport, the number
one candidate to exit the team is
Roberto Chen, although no official
statement has been made.
Malaga CF were unable to offi-
cially announce the signing of Pa-
blo Prez until the 400,000 euro
sum owed to former Blue and
Whites, and current Manchester
City defender, Martn Demichelis
was settled. The Martiricos outfit
has now confirmed the amount has
been sent to the 33 year-old, and
the AFE (Asociacin de Futbolistas
Espaoles) and the LFP (Liga de
Ftbol Profesional) have with-
drawn the complaint made against
Malaga CF due to non-payment.
Demichelis also confirmed he re-
ceived the payment on his official
Twitter account, @demichelisok.
Prez, the early years
Born on 10th August 1985 in Rosa-
rio, Argentina, Prez began his ca-
reer in the lower ranks of Newells
Old Boys, where he showed out-
standing technical skills on the
pitch. He scored an impressive hat
trick for his team in a stand out per-
formance in the 4-4 draw against
Estudiantes de La Plata back in
2007.
Nicknamed Fantstico by his
peers, due to his excellent ball tech-
nique which often outwits rivals,
Pablo Prez moved to Emelec in
Ecuador in 2009.
It was here that the midfielder
really honed his skills. He then
signed to Unin de Santa Fe in
2010, and was instrumental in the
teams promotions to the coun-
trys first division.
The Argentine returned to New-
ells Old Boys in 2011, and success
soon followed as the team was
named 2013 Argentine Champion-
ship winners, and semi-finalists of
the 2013 Copa Libertadores.
LA LIGA
Top three start
the new year
with victories
Martino has a selection headache at
Bara as Messi returns to the team
With the Christmas break now
over and the new year just begin-
ning, football teams and their
fans were itching to get the sea-
son rolling again with a win.
Almeria were one of the teams
to live up to this hope as Dubar-
bier, Vidal and Verza all scored in
their 3-0 win over Granada. This
win puts Almeria into 14th place,
just one point and one place be-
hind their most recent victims,
Granada. Granada have now lost
two from their last three league
games, whilst Almeria are un-
beaten in their last three with
two wins and a draw.
Sevilla also managed to get a
3-0 victory this week as they beat
Getafe comfortably with the help
of Rakitic, Bacca and Vitolo. Ivan
Rakitic is a very sought-after man
this January. The Croatian play-
maker is the heart and soul of the
Sevilla midfield but with big
money offers being linked to
Rakitic from all over Europe, it
will be a challenge for Sevilla to
keep hold of their star man.
Possibly the most surprising
win came on Monday as Villar-
real stormed to victory in a 2-5
away win at Real Vallecano. In
the seven goal thriller, there were
only 3 goalscorers. Castillo got
both goals for Vallecano, whilst
Uche, the man in form scored a
hat-trick and Perbet added two
more for Villarreal.
Antoine Griezmann again

scored to help Real Sociedad to a
2-0 win over Athletic Bilbao.
Griezmann has not been linked
to a move from Sociedad this
January which is fantastic news
for the fifth placed team as they
will need to keep him if they
want the prestigious fourth
Champions League spot.
Malaga have been slowly im-
proving since their terrible start
to the season. Their game against
Atltico Madrid was extremely
even both on chances created and
possession. Malaga did extremely
well to keep the potential cham-
pions quiet until the 70th min-
ute when Koke put Atletico 0-1
up and settled the game.
Real Madrid managed another
win this week, bringing their
league total to 14. Once again,
Bale started on the bench, only
to make an appearance in the
64th minute. Ronaldo stole the
show with two late goals in the
82nd and 90th minute to give
Real Madrid a 3-0 win over Celta
Vigo.
Barcelona thumped Elche this
week by four goals to nil. Sanchez
claimed the match ball and Pe-
dro added another. This could be
Barcelonas last game without Li-
onel Messi but with Pedro and
Sanchez in fine form, it will be
tough to choose who to drop, if
anyone. Barcelona remain top
but they are still under pressure
by Atletico Madrid.

John Rockefeller Jr, the tee-

1932, When Prohibition was
introduced I hoped that it
would be widely supported by
public opinion, and the day
would soon come when the
evil effects of alcohol would
be recognized. I have slowly
and reluctantly come to be-
lieve that this has not been
the result.

appeared; many of our best
citizens have openly ignored
Ana Luna, Junior MasterChef finalist from Malaga. :: EFE. Prohibition; respect for the
law has been greatly lessened;
and crime has increased to a
level never seen before.
The real reasons for the im-
position of prohibition are de-
batable. The law was backed by
the great industrialists of the
time, such as Henry Ford and
press baron Randolph Hearst,
reacting to the large number of
drink-related accidents in the
workplace. At the time the
First World War was being
fought and a large part of the
US drinks business, mainly
brewing, was controlled by
German immigrants. Pure dis-
crimination that has never
been admitted as such.
In those 13 years thousands
of people died from drinking
adulterated alcohol, but less-
mourned were the gangsters
who killed each other off in
their efforts to control the ille-

vanished, but a quirk in the law
allowed them to make com-
munion wine. It is easy to imag-
ine what happened to the truck-
loads of bottles leaving the win-
eries supposedly destined for
catholic places of worship.
Four months before the law
was revoked, the director of
the enforcement department
wrote to Time magazine, We
are fooling ourselves if we
think we can win the battle.
Lets go back to making alco-
hol.... It would be crazy to
think that there can ever be

Baby Martn goes home
Iker Casillas and Sara
Carbonero present
their newborn son
Martn to the world, five
days after his birth
:: D. VIDAL
MADRID. The last time there were
so many photographers outside Ma-
drids prestigious Rber clinic was
for a royal birth - that of Sofa, daugh-
ter of the heir to the throne Prince
Felipe and his wife Princess Letizia
in 2007.
This time it was royalty of an-
other kind, a celebrity prince and
princess, who appeared grinning at
the door.
Spanish football legend Iker Ca-
sillas and his television presenter
partner, Sara Carbonero, have just
produced their first child, Martn,
and on Wednesday the baby was
taken home by his proud parents.
Though the couple were reluc-
tant to show off baby Martn, who
made his first public appearance
swaddled in a beige blanket and in
the arms of his attentive mother,
he has already made his debut on
the internet.
Shortly after the birth, Casillas
posted a picture of the newborn on
his website, describing him as the
best possible present. Sara Carbonero and Iker Casillas, leaving the Rber clinic where their baby was born. :: EFE
