It was only a matter of time before these coalition left wing leaning governments throughout europe started imploding!
Ideological in existence but unable to provide a living to the everyday individual living inside the EU.
All those jobs and support infrastructure the mine would have provided in Spain denied by that pee bucket Ribera!
Certainly doesn't help Sanchez and his flimsy coalition, but I imagine he'll blunder on for as long as he can (including current approach to BKY's project).
Maybe the separatists will suddenly get the hots for uranium, and demand permits for BKY as the next price for propping Sanchez up. He's decriminalised sedition, so he'd easily grant the permits, which he should lawfully do anyway.
Where does this leave Bky?
Spain’s centre-right party wins
Spain’s centre-right People’s Party (PP) came out on top in today’s European election, gaining 22 seats out of the 61 allocated to the country, and dealing a blow to the Socialist-led government of Pedro Sanchez.
Sanchez’s Socialists, spearheaded by energy minister Teresa Ribera, earned 20 seats after a campaign in which the opposition honed in on private corruption allegations against the premier’s wife and an amnesty law for Catalan pro-independence leaders passed just one week before the election.

The cheek of it! Whining that Spain's energy woes are France's fault for blocking interconnectors. Unbelievable. It's you you clown that's created a crisis and forced more use of hydrocarbons by running down nuclear.
Actually Spain might get shot of its Micturition Minister soon who's looking to join the Brussels gravy train.
Looks like it was El Guapo just showboating.
'The FT is suggesting if he resigns he might pave the way for Spain's first female pm. Who might that be???!!!'
Can the FT define what a woman is?
Whoever gets in who suffers from the 'green communism liberal mentality' is still going to pursue this renewable energy utopian dream, would they allow nuclear energy into the mix is the question?
This situation will end up in an international arbitration adjudication scenario and could take the rest of the decade. Teresa is no doubt still having fun sploshing around and wetting the lettuce.
Apparently Sanchez has told the King what he's intentions today are.
The Guardian sees 3 possibilities:
Now, there would appear to be three possible scenarios.
Pedro Sánchez could stay and call a vote of no confidence in an effort to shore up his parliamentary support.
If he leaves, the socialists could try to appoint a successor.
Or, his departure could trigger another general election - Spain’s sixth in nine years - that could be held in July.
The FT is suggesting if he resigns he might pave the way for Spain's first female pm. Who might that be???!!!🤦

More reasons for Spain's dodgy government to permit BKY's mine, act lawfully and stop cynically manipulating institutions like the CSN by appointing anti-nuke activists to the board to force unwarranted political goals.
https://www.kitco.com/opinion/2024-04-23/miners-ignore-softer-uranium-price-0
Given the increasing global recognition of nuclear energy's importance to energy security and decarbonization, the demand for uranium is forecasted at 338 million pounds in 2040, requiring the supply to double by then. (New mines needed).

‘ But for now we still have to endure Teresa and chums sploshing around playing their revolting potty games.’
I can picture her grabbing onto the side of the bath whilst trying to pee in a child’s potty!
Ignore my dumb question below, RNS icon usually shows if there is a new one but I see now it was released yesterday (10th)
Where is this news then?
There also be some speculation on the Madrid Exchange which is lifting the share price here?
Either way it is good news for small investors.
Yes frustrating to say the least. The market's responded positively, for now. Perhaps it's relief BKY are finally going on the offensive. Maybe they should have done this 10 years ago when the then coalition (a similar make up to today's) bragged to Reuters they'd refuse to grant the permits regardless of illegality.
I suppose these new more aggressive legal tactics, or environmental necessity, or mounting political pressure might force the coalition to change tack and permit anyway. But for now we still have to endure Teresa and chums sploshing around playing their revolting potty games.

That guy was trying to pump SMR. Unfortunately, the reality is that SMR CAPEX is not much lower than a traditional reactor (from NuScale). Typical evil wall street pump & dumper.
Its obvious what is going on in the world is far beyond her intellectual capacity to understand, an ideological child causing big problems for a future generation to resolve.
Oh hang on, there is the get out clause, the ability to take power from the French Nuclear grid! Why should the people of that region in Spain put up with that when the mine would create jobs in their area?
Just think where Spain would be if it had embraced nuclear energy!
I guess Teresa loves pollution and dependency too much. Get some crude and gas into the marinade...

'I don't think their transitioning's very convincing.'
She is running out of time to come up with renewable answers, this is a good read, but!
https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/country-profiles/countries-o-s/spain.aspx
'Under Spain's nuclear phase-out policy, its nuclear fleet is scheduled to shut down by 2035. The first reactor is planned to be taken offline in 2027.
As Spain is essentially separate from the EU grid – a small amount of power can be traded with France – electricity self-sufficiency is a major policy consideration.'
So there you go they will still take nuclear energy from the French grid if they cannot come up with answers by 2027 when they start taking theirs off line. However in the interests of EU energy security surely to take yellow cake within the EU territory makes more sense.
At some point she will have to be removed.
Teresa Ribera
Minister for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge of Spain
I don't think their transitioning's very convincing.
Yes that question needs to be put to the Spanish Interior Minister of sitting beneath golden showers Teresa Ribera!
The general director of the International Energy Agency ("IEA") has said that nuclear energy works in an "impeccable way" and that countries planning to leave the sector, such as Spain and Germany, should "think twice" since the alternatives increase polluting emissions or dependence on third parties.

'Teresa take note, finish your golden shower'
Looks like she washes her boat race in the stuff, Teresa the Minister for Urophagia!
To add the Swedish minister's quote:
"If the European union is to become the first climate-neutral continent, access to sustainable metals and minerals must be ensured. We need to use the uranium we have, instead of sorting it out and considering it as waste, as is the case now - due to the current ban on mining uranium," says Minister for Climate and the Environment, Romina Pourmokhtari.[3]
I like the way she's tied it to the wider EU climate neutral aspiration and using "the uranium we have".
Teresa take note, finish your golden shower and permit BKY's uranium extraction in Spain and get tf on with it fast.
Teresa Ribera would rather marinate in her own urine for the rest of her life than be defeated by the glaringly obvious, Nuclear energy is the way forward!
She is out of date and out of touch and for now it is the farmers protesting, who next?
No not ramping another share but rather drawing attention to the fact that lobbying by AURA to get the Swedish Gov to re think its ban on Uranium Mining has resulted in them agreeing to debate the issue.
BKY may well benefit if Sweden changes its position in May......
If the EU is concerned about safguarding fuel supplies for nuclear power plants then having mines in safe havens makes perfect sense. Not that common sense has influenced the EU in the past or present.

Spanish politics not much better than African politics imo. Spanish Gov energy policies are wilfully stupid, even sunny countries need a base load electrical supply.

Lady, you need to start coming up with answers and fast.
Why on earth Spain has not looked into the process of enriching Uranium and also building their own reactors is beyond belief? Abundant energy would take them back to being a world super power and with their geographical location a manufacturer and exporter, they could easily rival South Korea and surpass them.
I guess Ribera likes the Spanish man to be weak and inutile!

Did you see George Monbiot on QT last Thursday, what a complete and utter melt!
Total bovine excrement imo....
"By 2028 the European Union (EU) can replace Russian natural gas
for power and heat with renewables and heat pumps. Not only is this
achievable and beneficial for the EU’s energy security and climate action,
but also a significant fraction of the investment required can be paid for
from the resulting reduction in gas expenditure. Russia accounted for
almost 50% of the EU’s gas supply before the invasion of Ukraine."
What world are these cretins living in? Germany now in recession as its industrial base collapses without cheap Russian oil and gas! Oh and Germany now the largest emitter of CO2 in Europe as they burn lignite (Wet Brown Coal) to keep the lights on. Still closing down the nuclear power plants was a stroke of genius by Merkel and the Green Party! I could go on. Meanwhile in Madrid a bunch of well dressed Africans run a European Country into bankruptcy despite it being an early adopter of nuclear power under a dictator called Franco!
I bet Ribera got her lettuce wet over this one,

What happens if they fail in the mean time?
It is only a matter of time before their ideology implodes and we get a government in who will grant that final permit.
Teresa Ribera is ideologically crazy and is contributing to bigger problems down the road for the Spanish people.

Spain and EU are still needlessly buying expensive uranium off Russia and presumably Niger too still post coup. They talk democracy but deal with oppressive autocrats. They don't walk the walk.
Much better to exploit Spain's uranium resources. Cheaper, security of supply, clean energy, jobs and prosperity for an impoverished region, ends unlawful withholding of permits etc. Time to permit BKY's mine whichever way you look at it.
The likes of Putin?
China and India are doing just fine out of it, as far as I can see it just you and I suffering from UK government war policy!
The EU gets 25% of its uranium from Niger according to BBC. Even if Sanchez and the Miteco nutters cling to their dumb ideology, you'd think the EU will now pressure them strongly to get Spain's U resources on line asap. Blindingly obvious. You can't trade with places run by the likes of Putin and coup leaders. Makes Spain complicit in all sorts of horrors and abuses. Come on.
Military coup in Niger now (where 20% of Spain's uranium comes from, to go with the 40% from Russia and 10% from Kazakhstan!!)
Given Spain has the largest U reserves in EU, which can be produced immediately and cheaper, and has the highest joblessness in EU...
.....is it time for the government to do the right thing, stop behaving stupidly and unconscionably by buying from unstable despotic regimes, and instead permit BKY's mine, and which it's lawfully obliged to anyway?!
How do Sanchez Ribera and the Miteco lot even sleep at night, pouring money into these appalling regimes? Time to get tf on with it.

Most commentators seem to be predicting another election later this year. Sanchez seems to have had a good run up to the election and got the leftist and youth vote out. Conversely Feijoo (despite winning) messed up big time, turning down debates, dissing Vox and mishandling interviews and his skeletons etc.
So if he gets it right next time, might he succeed? It'd be good for BKY.
I agree it's oversold but a hold for now till the dust settles imo.
This explains the politics quite well.
BBC News - Spain's conservatives miss out on all-out victory as left celebrates
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-66285245
Looks materially oversold so will attract traders at current levels, the RSI sits around 20, has bounced off this level many times. Could rally back to 25p/30p once the dust settles.
BKY has around £40m in cash.
As I understand it, there's a small prospect of a leftist or rightist coalition. More likely is a hung parliament and another general election at Christmas.
The legal case is ticking along in the background, but barring a new coalition now we're probably back in limbo till the end of the year.
I suspect BKY won't rev up the legal case yet, pending more clarity on the political situation.
