Kafetegia (15/01/26)

·1 hr·5 clips

Paco Gandoy opens Portu Radio's Kafetegia with a sarcastic take on Trump's Iran announcement and a doctor's strike threatening to go indefinite.

The episode begins with host Joseba Lafuente delivering a rapid-fire, sarcastic introduction covering national politics, a doctors' strike, and local issues in Portugalete and Bilbao. A weather forecast from Euskal Med follows. The main panel discussion features guests Clara Natividad, Iñaki Irasuegui, and Sabino Santolalla. They first address the closure of the Benedicta area in Portugalete for construction of a new viewpoint, interpretation pavilion, and dock, noting complications for local clubs and pedestrian access. Sabino critiques the project's rear view due to the adjacent ACB facility. The conversation shifts to Ortueya's installation of new solar panels, with Iñaki correcting a news report's confusion between kilowatts and kilowatt-hours and calculating an annual savings of 15,000 euros. The panel then examines two local scandals: the 'Palacete' case in Guecho, where a protected building was illegally demolished for luxury housing, implicating PNV councilors and raising questions about transparency; and a promotion test controversy in Santurce's municipal police, involving alleged favoritism and calls to annul the exam. The episode features multiple local advertisements. It concludes with an interview of director Jonander Serrano Avendaño (Haxa), who discusses his underground series 'Producto Local'. He explains the series is based on real experiences of marginal characters in Vizcaya, funded by local business support without subsidies, and will be projected in Donosti and Leyoa. The episode ends with a musical note about the series' soundtrack.
