Since the UN confirmed Madrid as the host for COP25, originally planned for Chile, there has been frenetic activity in Spain's capital. IFEMA has allocated half of its space for the event, which is expected to draw 25,000 people from 200 countries. The Spanish government intervened to secure Madrid as the venue, with José Manuel Albares playing a key role. The city anticipates an economic impact of 200 million euros, primarily benefiting the hotel and restaurant sectors, with an estimated cost of 50 million euros. The COP25 has already raised business and public awareness about climate impact, according to Cristina Rivero from CEOE. The goal now is to reach agreements that ensure the commitments made in Paris are met. Madrid has organized the summit in record time, less than a month, coinciding with a major holiday, presenting a test for the city and an opportunity to boost Spain's international profile.

Carmen Heras discovered the remains of a relative, Adolfo Morales, executed during Franco's dictatorship, in a mass grave thanks to a book detailing the history of those repressed in the province of Soria since 1936. Spain's democracy still has unresolved issues with over 100,000 missing as a result of Franco's dictatorship, and the Ministry of Justice estimates only 25,000 remains are recoverable. Despite some exhumations, many graves remain unopened due to lack of funding for the Historical Memory Law. The Asociación Recuerdo y Dignidad, awarded the National Human Rights Prize, helps cover these deficiencies. Carmen awaits DNA tests to confirm the kinship of the remains found in one of the first graves opened following the government's decree last summer for the exhumation of Francisco Franco. She expresses mixed feelings of recovery and sadness over the many bodies still in this situation in the country.
