Supporting gender equality Credit: Diputación de Malaga
Gender equality THE Diputación de Malaga has announced that for this year, it will allocate aid valued at €300,000 to finance projects that promote gender equality, especially in the smallest municipalities of the province. These grants are aimed at women’s associations and federations and municipalities with less than 20,000 inhabitants that want to develop projects related to equality or to set up new associations. The maximum amount of the subsidy to each organisation will be €8,000 Police raid TWO popular bars situated by the Marbella Marina were the subject of raids by National Police (some officers wearing balaclavas) in the early evening of Saturday May 10, ostensibly to check for drugs although one man was arrested for obstructing the operation and alleged assault.
