Madrid, Nov. 18 (Reuters) – Some 170,000 people marched through Madrid on Saturday against an amnesty law agreed by Spain’s Socialists against Catalonia’s 2017 secessionist bid.

The demonstration was the latest in a series of protests in cities across the country against the amnesty, the law in response to Spain’s Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s agreement after winning a four-year term with support from Catalan and Basque nationalist parties.

Protesters waved Spanish flags and carried signs reading “Sanchez Traitor” and “Don’t Sell Spain,” as four judicial associations, opposition political parties and business leaders demonstrated against the law, which they said threatened the rule of law and the separation of powers. .

Officials put the number of demonstrators at 170,000.

The march, which was organized by civil groups, was also attended by the leader of the opposition conservative People’s Party, Alberto Nunez Feijoo, and the leader of the far-right Vox party, Santiago Abascal.

After the rally, hundreds of people protested on the highway near the Moncloa Palace, the prime minister’s residence in Madrid. The A6 road was closed for about an hour during the demonstration but reopened after police cleared the area.

A small protest was held outside the Spanish embassy in London.

In 2017, around 400 people, including police officers who clashed with separatists and activists in the independence movement, will be granted amnesty.

The independence referendum was declared illegal by the courts and caused Spain’s worst political crisis in decades.

According to Spain’s CSIC Research Council, Spain’s amnesty, the first approved in the EU since 1991, is the largest since the 1977 amnesty for crimes committed during the Francisco Franco dictatorship.

Sanchez, who won Thursday’s parliamentary vote to form a new government by 179 to 171, backed the law saying amnesty would help ease tensions in Catalonia.

Protesters, including neo-Nazi groups, have staged rowdy demonstrations outside Socialist headquarters in Madrid for 15 consecutive nights since the deal was announced. Clashes with police have resulted in injuries to officers and demonstrators, but the protests have generally been peaceful.

A survey by Metroscopia in mid-September found that around 70% of respondents – 59% of whom were socialist supporters – said they were against the idea of ​​amnesty.

Nov 18 (Reuters) – Elon Musk on Saturday threatened to sue media watchdog Media Matters and attackers of his social media site X, after several major U.S. companies stopped advertising on the site after it was advertised with anti-Semitic content.

Musk and X have been under the microscope all week for a surge in anti-Semitic and racist content since buying the site in 2022.

The liberal watchdog group Media Matters for America said earlier this week that ads from IBM, Apple and others were placed with content promoting Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party.

On Wednesday, Musk endorsed an anti-Semitic post on X that falsely claimed members of the Jewish community were inciting hatred against white people, drawing sharp condemnation, including from the White House.

“A split second court opens Monday to file a thermonuclear lawsuit against X Corp Media Matters and all those who cooperated in this fraudulent attack on our company,” Musk wrote in a post on X, without naming any other parties.

Several companies, including IBM, Disney, Warner Bros. Discovery and Comcast, Lion’s Gate Entertainment and Paramount Global, have stopped advertising in the past two days. Axios reports that Apple, the world’s largest company by market value, will do the same.

“This week Media Matters for America published a story that grossly misrepresents the actual experience at X, in yet another attempt to undermine free speech and mislead advertisers.” Report Musk posted. He accused Media Matters of creating an alternate account to “misinform advertisers” about their posts.

Media Matters did not immediately respond to an email request for comment outside business hours.

Musk has threatened legal action against other parties in the past, most notably the Anti-Defamation League, a non-profit organization that fights anti-Semitism, which it blamed on X’s loss of advertising revenue. However, he has yet to sue the ADL.

Advertisers have pulled out and lowered content ratings since Musk bought the site in October 2022, resulting in a sharp increase in hate speech, according to civil rights groups.

The White House on Friday denounced what Musk called a “vicious” antisemitic conspiracy theory, and accused Musk of “abhorrent bigotry and xenophobia” that “runs counter to our core values ​​as Americans.”

Musk is also chief executive of electric carmaker Tesla ( TSLA.O ), which has been hit by several lawsuits alleging widespread racial or sexual harassment of workers.

Antisemitism has been on the rise in recent years in the United States and around the world. Following the outbreak of war between Israel and the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, which attacked Israel on Oct. 7, anti-Semitic incidents in the United States have increased nearly 400% from the previous year, according to the ADL.

Taylor Swift pays tribute to a fan who died during the latest stop of her Eras Tour in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. “I can’t believe I’m writing these words, but it’s with a broken heart that we lost a fan tonight before my show,” Swift wrote in a handwritten statement shared on her Instagram Story. “I cannot tell you how devastated I am by this. I have very little information except that she was very beautiful and very young. Brazil’s daily newspaper Folha D S. Paulo reported 23-year-old Ana Clara Benevides fainted and was resuscitated at the Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos concert hall, then taken to hospital, where she eventually died of cardiorespiratory arrest. Her death was confirmed sheet By Estela Benewitz, a cousin of Benewitz. It’s not clear if Benowitz saw Swift take the stage when the show started around 7:30 p.m. local time.

Swift’s performance coincided with a heat wave in Brazil sheet The site reports a “feels like” temperature of 140°F. Firefighters unofficially recorded a thousand fainting spells at the event sheet. Some fans have taken to social media to say that despite the extreme temperatures, the venue did not allow concert-goers to bring water bottles inside. The fan took off scenes Swift paused the show to indicate fans needed water, and at one point threw a water bottle into the audience.

In her Instagram Story statement, Swift said she couldn’t talk about her fan’s death on stage because she felt “overwhelmed with grief” trying to talk about it. “Now I want to say that I feel this loss deeply, and my broken heart goes out to her family and friends,” Swift said. “This is the last thing I thought about when I decided to bring this tour to Brazil.”

This is a growing story.

MONROVIA, Nov 17 (Reuters) – Liberian President George Weah conceded election defeat to opposition leader Joseph Bokai on Friday after a fierce contest, ending a presidency marred by corruption allegations but helping to smooth a once-turbulent transition of power in the African nation.

Bogai, 78, a former vice president who lost to Weya in the 2017 election, led with 50.9% of the vote to Weya’s 49.1%, the country’s electoral commission said on Friday, with nearly all votes counted.

The result marks a stark turnaround from 2017, when world soccer legend Wei, buoyed by a wave of confidence, defeated Bokai with 62 percent of the vote. Many are disillusioned by the lack of progress: poverty, unemployment, food insecurity and poor electricity supply persist.

“A few minutes ago, I spoke with President-elect Joseph Bogai to congratulate him on his victory,” Weah said on national radio. “I ask you to follow my example and accept the election results.”

Weah’s concession paved the way for Liberia’s second democratic transfer of power in more than seven decades — the first was when Weah came to power six years ago.

His comments have seen eight military coups in three years in West and Central Africa, eroding confidence in democratic elections. When elections are held in the region, allegations of fraud abound and the results are often contested in court.

Instead, Bokai supporters in the capital Monrovia danced, shouted and honked car horns in the rain after the final result was announced.

“We have a job ahead of us and I am happy that the citizens gave us their approval,” Bokai told Reuters shortly after the results were announced. “First and foremost, we want to get the message of peace and reconciliation across.”

Boakai, a soft-spoken career politician, ran against Weah in the first round of voting in October.

Liberia is struggling to recover from two civil wars that killed more than 250,000 people between 1989 and 2003, and from the 2013-16 Ebola epidemic that killed thousands.

Many felt that Weah had not followed through on promises to alleviate poverty and improve the country’s crumbling infrastructure.

Arkoi Sarkor, 43, told Reuters he supported Bogai because he could not find a job during Weah’s tenure.

“I am very confident because I know Bogai is a man of principles and when he comes here, I know he is going to bring changes,” he said. “Some things that don’t do, that don’t feel right, he’ll put it on, that’s what I’m hoping for.”

WASHINGTON — House Ethics Committee Chairman Michael Guest, R-Miss., filed a resolution Friday morning to expel Rep. George Santos, R.N.Y., from Congress.

The resolution comes a day after the panel issued a scathing report concluding that “substantial evidence” found Santos “violated federal criminal laws,” including using campaign funds for personal purposes and filing false campaign reports.

“The evidence found in the ethics committee’s investigative subcommittee investigation is sufficient to warrant a conviction and the most appropriate punishment is expulsion,” Guest said in a statement Friday. “Therefore, departing from the committee process and my role as chairman, I have filed a motion to vacate.”

The resolution said Santos was “unfit to serve as a member of the United States House of Representatives” because of his “gross violations.”

A vote on the eviction could be held as early as the week after Thanksgiving. The House returns on November 28.

Santos’ office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the expulsion resolution.

After the ethics report was released, Santos announced Thursday that he would not seek re-election next year.

The ethics committee found several suspicious campaign expenditures that did not appear to have a “campaign connection,” according to the report. The committee’s report detailed expenses at Hermès and Ferragamo stores and an Airbnb while he was in the Hamptons. Only Fans, a subscription-based site used to host weekend getaways, botox treatments and pornography.

Earlier this month, Santos survived an attempt to expel him from Congress: 179 members voted in favor of the expulsion, 213 voted against and 19 in the lead. A two-thirds majority of parliamentarians is required to remove a member from the House.

Lawmakers have said they want to wait until the Ethics Committee issues its report on the investigation into Santos.
