I think we can pretty much guarantee that he'll be approved by Parliament because the governing progressive party is extremely dominant in the National Assembly. That's the party of President Aleksandar Vucic. But we've already heard from opposition parties that they're not happy about this nomination of Dr Juro Matsut.
Let's face it, even those of us who follow affairs in Serbia for a living, we're having to look up exactly who Dr Matsut is. And the opposition parties say, well, look, this person may be an expert in endocrinology. He may have all sorts of memberships of international organizations in that field. But that doesn't mean that he's fit to run the government of Serbia.
And the opposition say they figure that he's just going to be a puppet for President Vucic.
That's a good question. He hadn't been a member of the Progressive Party until now. It's not clear whether he's going to join the Progressive Party at this point.
Or indeed, whether the government that he's going to put together is going to be drawn from political figures, or whether there's going to be an effort to try and pull together a non-political government, a government of experts, in other words, because he is one himself.
But that's all got to be decided by the 18th of April, which is the deadline for Mr. Matsut, I should say Dr. Matsut, to form the government. Otherwise, elections will automatically be called.
It's absolutely a tactic of his, and he's a very good tactician. He's shown time and again that he knows exactly how to neuter opposition discontent and how when to go to the country at the right time for his progressive party to receive another mandate to return to power. Guy De Launay.
Blanca Castro has to wash her dishes in the bathtub. That's because her kitchen is dangerous and unusable, with a large hole in the ceiling which leaks water from above. Blanca believes that the company which owns her flat and others in the building has deliberately halted all maintenance work in order to encourage the tenants to leave.
Blanca is just one of millions of Spaniards who are worried about the cost of housing. Over the last decade, salaries in Spain have increased by around 20%. But during the same period, the cost of an average rental has doubled. I'm next to a group of workmen and some cranes where a block of flats is being built just on the outskirts of Madrid.
This kind of site is much less common now than in 2007 at the height of Spain's property boom, when more than 600,000 homes were built in just one year. Last year, by contrast, only a sixth of that number of homes were completed. High building costs, lack of available land... The shortage of manpower have all been factors in restricting construction in recent years.
The socialist prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, says he's now making it easier for cheap housing to be built. His coalition government is also taking more interventionist measures.
The government has introduced a housing law which puts a cap on rentals in some urban areas. So far, it's only been implemented in a handful of regions, such as Catalonia and the Basque Country. The government has also proposed a tax of up to 100% on the purchase of property by non-residents from outside the EU, which could affect British buyers in particular.
Critics say this kind of interventionism scares owners and investors, causing properties to be taken off the rental market and making the situation worse. However, lower-income Spaniards are calling for more drastic measures to be taken as anger over the housing crisis builds.
Die Prosecutoren sagen, dass Mr. Ancelotti während eines vorherigen Spiels, als er Real Madrid-Coach war, 2014, 2015, dass er von den spanischen Staatsanwaltschaften seine Bildungsrechte verhielt hat. Und dass es von diesen Bildungsrechten viel Geld gab. Und er hat den Staatsanwaltschaften nicht darüber gesprochen.
Und deshalb hat er die Staatsanwaltschaften in Spanien von rund einem Millionen Euro verhielt. Also das ist die Anzeige, die natürlich eine sehr ernsthafte ist und mit ihr potenziell eine Gefängnisverfügung von bis zu vier Jahren und neun Monaten hat. Und was sagt Herr Ancelotti? So he was basically saying that he was not aware of this as far as he was concerned. This was normal practice.
He was told this was normal practice, the way that he was being paid and the way that his money was coming in and the way that he was paying his taxes.
Well, the trial itself is just three days between today and Friday, we've been told. Then the verdict, we don't expect an immediate verdict with these sort of cases. It might take a few days, it might even take a few weeks. Obviously it will be widely awaited because of the fame that Carlo Ancelotti has in Spain.
He's a very well-known figure and he's a well-known figure in the sports world in general.
Nein, nicht überhaupt. Ich meine, es gab ein paar Fußballspieler und Spieler in Spanien, die verhaftet und mit Taxifraud verhaftet wurden, z.B. Leo Messi und Cristiano Ronaldo ein paar Jahre ago.
In diesen Fällen wurden sie tatsächlich in Gefängnisgesetze gegeben, aber sie waren viel niedriger, als das Prosecutor gefragt hat, also gingen sie offensichtlich nicht in Gefängnis und endeten mit großen Feinden. Also wissen wir nicht, was mit dem passiert, aber ich denke, dass die Leute den Fall sehr nahe mit Carlo Ancelotti folgen werden.
