1. Kylie Minogue en España para una firma de discos a sus fans 
La principal web y fanclub de Kylie Minogue en español, 'Dance Kylie - Kylie Minogue España (www.kylie.es), que cuenta con el agradecimiento y la aprobación de Kylie, y está formada en su mayor parte por una extensa comunidad de fans de España e Hispanoamérica promueve la idea de que se realice para los fans una firma de discos en España.
We feel that the mainstream media, who's respsonible for our contemporary public sphere, lacks a diverse representation of women of different sizes as well as ethnicties. As a result, our "ideal beauty" is becoming more and more narrow, women are developing a skew sense of self, leading to depression, self-loathing, poor self esteem and eating disorders.
The ideal body type, as put forth by the media is becoming dangerously thin, a majority of female media icons have a “BMI [that] is on the border of what a clinician would regard as anorexic.” By projecting these images of rail thin women, what message does this send to our youth? “Fashion is a mirror and many teenagers imitate what they see on the catwalk” said Concha Guerra. This past september, Madrid, Spain put a ban against overly thin models at top-level fashion shows. They hope by doing so, they will project a healthier image of what beauty is. "This is about protecting the young women and men who work in the fashion industry, as well as those who are at risk of an eating disorder and can be influenced by the pictures that they see."

Le 26 novembre 2005, alors que son vol(IBERIA vol 6971) faisait escale à Madrid en provenance de Dakar, Magatte MBENGUE, journaliste Franco sénégalais a été sauvagement violenté par la police espagnole.
Son seul tort c'est d'être Noir et d'avoir demandé qu'on le traite avec respect et dignité. Malgré un passeport français et tous ses papiers en règle, il a subi des violences d'abord verbales ensuite physiques ayant entrainé une blessure à la main droite, et une incapacité de travail de deux semaines.
Et un traumatisme psychologique difficile à vivre. Humilié par un traitement raciste, un contrôle au faciès exercé par des agents dépositaires de la force publique, Magatte Mbengue a porté plainte à Paris et à Madrid.
Afin d'éviter que de telles dérives se reproduisent en toute impunité, nous vous demandons de signer cette pétition.

4. Barcelona Not Madrid as Capital of Spain
Have you been to Spain so many times and been to both Madrid and Barcelona?
Many people have seen the poor state of Madrid and would prefer barcelona as though it has even hosted the OLYMPICS!!
