    Flávio Bolsonaro Announces Alfredo Gaspar as Vice-Presidential Candidate

    Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ), presidential candidate, announced his running mate for the election on Wednesday (5). Deputy Alfredo Gaspar (PL-AL) was chosen as the vice-presidential candidate on Flávio Bolsonaro's ticket. The choice has been criticized due to Alfredo Gaspar's past accusation of statutory rape, which he denies. The decision has also been seen as a strategic shift in Flávio's campaign, moving towards a more confrontational tone with Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and the PT.

    Eclipse Drives Up Hotel Prices in Spain

    The total solar eclipse on August 12 is causing a significant increase in hotel prices in Spain, particularly in areas where the phenomenon will be most visible. In Soria, a night in a hotel costs up to 900 euros, while in Teruel, prices reach 500 euros. This surge is due to high demand and limited supply, with many accommodations booked out. Some even charge over 2,000 euros per night.
