Regionalist deputy Francisco Javier López Marcano, right-hand man of Miguel Ángel Revilla for four decades, died on April 2, 2026, in Torrelavega at age 71 from a heart attack. Marcano served as former counselor in the Cantabria government, former mayor of Torrelavega, and key leader of the Partido Regionalista de Cantabria (PRC). His career featured numerous public roles and iconic tourism projects.
Around 400 to 1000 people marched silently through central Santander on March 22 demanding accountability for the collapse of a walkway at El Bocal that killed six on March 3. Organized by neighborhood, environmental, and social groups, the protest started at the Government Delegation and ended at City Hall. Participants called for truth, transparency, and prevention of such an avoidable tragedy.
