English Edition Dear readers, The master's degree scandal engulfing Madrid regional premier Cristina Cifuentes has plunged the regional government into chaos, with Ciuadanos calling for the resignation of the Popular Party leader. A top university official has also been suspended as a result of the affair, while another professor has resigned after discovering her signature on validation certificates presented by Cifuentes was forged. In other news, Spanish prosecutors have provided Germany with more evidence to support the rebellion charge against ousted Catalan premier Carles Puigdemont, who may escape extradition if German courts rule out the arguments cited by Spain.  And finally, one of readers' favorite articles this week asked a seemingly odd question: Why are Spaniards the only people in Europe obsessed with window blinds? We hope you enjoy this selection of articles from the EL PAÍS English Edition, thanks for reading. Melissa Kitson Cristina Cifuentes. / C.Q.
