Spain: 5 hurt in anti-migrant violence blamed on far right
AI- Representative Image An outbreak of violence between migrants and residents in a south-eastern Spanish town was fuelled by social media posts from far-right groups, an official from Spain's government said Sunday. Five people suffered minor injuries during Saturday night's disturbance and one person was arrested. Mariola Guevara, a central government delegate in the Murcia region, said officials responded after detecting posts that had incited a planned "hunt for migrants," which had begun earlier than planned. What do we know? Groups armed with batons roamed the streets of the sleepy town of Torre Pacheco, near Murcia, late Saturday for a second night, days after an attack on an elderly man by unknown assailants. Despite a major police presence, regional newspaper La Opinion de Murcia reported that groups were looking for people of foreign origin. Videos posted on social media showed men dressed in clothes bearing far-right symbols and migrants carrying Moroccan flags hurling objects at each other in the centre of the 40,000 population town. The footage also showed rubbish containers and barricades in flames. Police officers managed to prevent a confrontation between the two groups, Mayor Pedro Ángel Roca said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 21st Century Skills Start with Confident Communication Planet Spark Learn More Undo Roca said most of the people taking part in the riots had come from other areas. Pensioner recovering after beating by youths The clashes followed several days of lower-intensity unrest in the town following the beating of a pensioner on Wednesday. The 68-year-old man is recovering at home from his injuries and told local media he was attacked by three youths from North Africa. The attack was filmed and put on social media. The reasons behind the assault are unclear and no one has been arrested in connection with the incident. Francisco Pulido, head of the Guardia Civil in the Murcia region, said he had deployed units to disperse the crowd and prevent further violence. Pulido said authorities were also focused on investigating possible hate crimes. Threats made toward migrants Threats directed at Moroccan families living in Torre-Pacheco have been circulating on social media for days, according to the daily El Pais. Spanish authorities launched an appeal for calm on Sunday, with Fernando Lopez Miras, the head of the Murcia government, writing on X that "Torre Pacheco must get back to normal." "I understand the frustration, but nothing justifies violence," the conservative politician added. Migrants make up about 30 percent of the population in the town, about twice the average in Spain, according to El Mundo newspaper. The area around the town also hosts large numbers of migrants who work as farm laborers.

'If Telugu is like mother, Hindi is aunt': Pawan Kalyan backs Hindi; calls it language of unity, not threat
Pawan Kalyan NEW DELHI: Andhra Pradesh deputy chief minister and Jana Sena party chief Pawan Kalyan on Friday said Hindi should be seen as a language that unites the country and opens new opportunities, rather than as a threat to regional cultures or languages. Speaking at the Golden Jubilee celebrations of the Department of Official Language's 'Dakshin Samvad' in Hyderabad, Kalyan drew a familial analogy to drive home his point. 'If Telugu is like our mother, then Hindi is like our aunt,' he said. 'If we can learn foreign languages, why hesitate with Hindi? Hindi is easily understood across the country. I personally use Hindi on social media. On this Golden Jubilee of the Department, let us resolve to love Hindi, adopt it, and promote it,' Kalyan added.
