La mayoría no ha verificado aún ni el 50% de las subvenciones y el plazo para hacerlo concluye en junio de 2026; la decisión queda en manos de la Comisión y no está claro qué programas podrán acogerse Aagesen dará más tiempo para ejecutar más de 1.300 millones en fondos europeos para energía Las comunidades autónomas han reclamado este lunes al Ministerio para la Transición Ecológica una ampliación del plazo para ejecutar las ayudas al autoconsumo energético y el Moves III, que subvenciona la compra de vehículos eléctricos y la instalación de puntos de recarga con fondos del Plan de Recuperación, Transformación y Resiliencia (PRTR) de la UE. La petición se ha planteado en la Conferencia Sectorial de Energía que desde las 16 horas de este lunes ha reunido al departamento de Sara Aagesen con los gobiernos autonómicos. El plazo para justificar estas ayudas (las que están territorializadas entre las comunidades autónomas) concluye en el segundo semestre de 2026. Ahora será la Comisión Europea la que tendrá que decidir sobre esa prórroga. Pero no está claro qué programas podrán acogerse aún esa prórroga. La petición llega tras constatarse el retraso de algunas comunidades en el ritmo de ejecución de estos programas. En el caso del Moves III, que se puso en marcha en abril de 2021 y después se prorrogó sucesivamente, con un presupuesto total (incluidas las ampliaciones) de 1.335 millones de euros, muy pocas regiones superan el 50% en el porcentaje de verificaciones respecto al presupuesto resuelto, según los datos que se han expuesto en esa conferencia sectorial, a los que ha tenido acceso elDiario.es y que en la mayoría de los casos están actualizados a noviembre de este año. Así, en el Moves III destacan en el vagón de cola Murcia (solo un 3% de ayudas verificadas), Castilla-La Mancha (18%), Canarias (21%), Extremadura (23%), Cantabria (26%), Catalunya (34%), La Rioja (41%), Navarra (42%), Castilla y León (45%), Galicia (47%), Aragón (48%). Solo cuatro regiones superan el 50%: Andalucía y Comunitat Valenciana (51%), Euskadi (57%) y Madrid (64%). En el caso de las ayudas al autoconsumo, con un presupuesto total de 2.085 millones, incluidas las ampliaciones aprobadas, también hay una gran disparidad, pese a que las reglas de distribución de estos fondos eran comunes y el ministerio había dado flexibilidad a los gobiernos para agilizar el reparto. En este caso, las comunidades más rezagadas son Asturias (6% de subvenciones justificadas a noviembre), Murcia (11%), Canarias y Comunitat Valenciana (23%), La Rioja (28%), Andalucía (30%), Extremadura (35%), Castilla-La Mancha (36%), Navarra (40%), Galicia (44%) y Aragón (45%). Por encima del 50% solo están Castilla y León (58%), Madrid (59%) y Euskadi (91%). La ventanilla para obtener ayudas de estos programas se cerró en diciembre de 2024. Las ayudas tienen que estar subidas, como muy tarde, el 30 de junio de 2026 en la plataforma de gestión de fondos europeos para el PRTR (conocida como aplicativo Coffee). Por ahora Bruselas ha dado su visto bueno a la prórroga de unos 700 millones que ya están aprobados, sobre todo para cadena de valor e hidrógeno verde, pero está por decidir el resto. Y se plantea la incógnita de qué ocurrirá con las subvenciones que se han concedido si no llegan a tiempo de justificarse ante Bruselas, apuntan fuentes con conocimiento de la situación. En el caso de las ayudas que distribuye directamente el Gobierno central a través del Instituto para la Diversificación y el Ahorro de la Energía (IDAE), en octubre el gobierno amplió hasta 2030 en algunos casos el plazo para ejecutar más de 1.300 millones en fondos europeos para energía. Se trata de proyectos relacionados con repotenciación, eólica marina, almacenamiento, hibridación, comunidades energéticas o geotermia. La petición del Gobierno central llegó después de que en junio la Comisión abriera la puerta a ampliar esos plazos, tras advertir el Tribunal de Cuentas Europeo de que la UE corría el riesgo de no llegar a tiempo para invertir los 723.800 millones que Bruselas puso a disposición de los Estados Miembros en plena pandemia. La Comunicación de la Comisión en la que se amparó el ministerio instaba a los Estados miembros a “revisar exhaustivamente” sus planes “lo antes posible para garantizar que todos los hitos y objetivos puedan ejecutarse antes del plazo del 31 de agosto de 2026”. Entonces quedaban por desembolsar a escala europea “unos 335.000 millones”, de los que aproximadamente 154.000 millones eran subvenciones y 180.000 millones, préstamos.

(The Center Square) – The search continued Monday for the suspect or suspects in a Northern California mass shooting that killed three children and one adult. Authorities said 11 other people were injured during the shooting Saturday in Stockton. The San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office said shots were fired just before 6 p.m. at a child’s birthday party, attended by 100 to 150 people in a banquet hall along the 1900 block of Lucile Avenue, near Thornton Road. Those who were killed were ages 8, 9, 14 and 21, according to the sheriff’s office. No suspects have been arrested, but the office said the shooting was likely a targeted incident and may have involved multiple shooters. The sheriff’s office received help with its response and investigation from agencies such as the Stockton Police Department, the California Department of Justice, the FBI, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Among the 11 people who survived injuries was a 9-year-old child in fair condition at Dignity Health Center-St Joseph Medical Center in Stockton, according to a hospital spokesperson quoted by KXTV, an ABC affiliate in Sacramento. The hospital said it received two other patients - one adult who underwent surgery and an adult who was treated for minor injuries. Sutter Memorial Hospital in Modesto told the ABC station that it had some patients from the shooting but didn't have additional details. Authorities asked for the community's help to track down the suspect or suspects. “We are grateful for the information that has already been coming in from the community, and we ask that it continue,” the sheriff's office said on Facebook. “With the tips, video, and witness accounts provided so far, detectives are actively working on suspect descriptions and moving toward identifying and locating the individuals responsible for this horrific act.” “Our hearts are with the victims, their families, and everyone affected by this devastating violence,” the sheriff’s office said. Gov. Gavin Newsom echoed that on X. “Our hearts break for their families and the entire Stockton community." Stockton Mayor Christina Fugazi told reporters, "Stockton is better than this," and urged people to call Crime Stoppers to leave an anonymous tip. People can provide information by calling 209-946-0600 or visiting stocktoncrimestoppers.org, where they can leave a tip directly or download a Crime Stoppers app to do so. Fugazi added families should be together at home on Thanksgiving weekend "instead of at the hospital, standing next to their loved ones, praying they survive." "Unfortunately tonight, heaven is a little bigger" with the three children and one adult who did not survive, Fugazi said Saturday.

(The Center Square) — A former New York federal prosecutor is the latest candidate to seek the Republican Party's nomination to challenge Democratic Attorney General Letitia James in next year's election. Saritha Komatireddy, who has worked in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York for more than a decade, announced on Monday that she is jumping into the widening GOP field seeking to oust the embattled Democratic incumbent, the New York Post reported. "I’ve spent over a decade in the U.S. Attorney’s Office prosecuting the worst of the worst. Terrorists, murderers, fraudsters, and hackers,” Komatireddy, 41, said in her campaign statement. “Now, I want to get the attorney general’s office back to basics — protecting New Yorkers and locking up criminals." Under James' tenure, the AG’s office "has become preoccupied with partisan vendetta, and lost sight of what matters to most New Yorkers," Komatireddy said. "If elected, I’ll focus all my energy on the safety of the people of New York – from Bethpage to Buffalo, Staten Island to Saratoga Springs, the people of the Empire State will be able to trust that they have an Attorney General focused on keeping them safe," she said. Komatireddy, who served as a law clerk to Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanagugh when he was on the U.S. Court of Appeals, joins a growing field of Republicans running for a chance to challenge James in next year's midterm election. To date, Michael Henry, the GOP's 2022 nominee for AG, and crypto industry lawyer and advocate Khurram Dara, have thrown their hats into the ring. Other GOP hopefuls are expected to join the race. James, 67, is seeking a third term in the wake of a ruling by a federal judge last week that dismissed an indictment against her for mortgage fraud charges, stemming from her use of a residential property she owns in Virginia. James was indicted in October by a federal grand jury on one count of bank fraud and one count of making false statements to a financial institution. She has pleaded not guilty to the charges and claimed they were politically motivated. But the indictment was dismissed on the grounds that Lindsey Halligan, the interim U.S. attorney who secured their indictments, was unlawfully appointed to the role. In the past year, James has filed or signed onto dozens of lawsuits against the Trump administration over federal immigration policies, rollbacks in federal funding, and worker layoffs and other actions. The litigation includes a civil fraud trial that ended in a $454 million judgment against Trump and his company, which was overturned by a New York appeals court. James has appealed the ruling.

A catástrofe humanitária continua em Gaza. Apesar do cessar-fogo concluído há um mês, Israel mantém o bloqueio ao enclave, permitindo a entrada de ajuda humanitária apenas a conta-gotas e mantendo a população na miséria. Botijões de gás tornaram-se uma raridade, e a madeira também custa caro para os moradores que vivem há meses na precariedade. Para garantir comida à família, muitas crianças palestinas saem todos os dias em busca de qualquer material que possa alimentar uma fogueira e permitir que se cozinhe.
