Badalona mayor faces charges over racial remark
The mayor of the Spanish city of Badalona faced allegations after posting a tweet containing inciting and discriminatory language against a Moroccan citizen, who was detained over theft. In the post, the mayor referred to him as "scum of the earth" and expressed his desire to have him deported to Morocco illegally. The human rights organization "Eiridia" filed a complaint against the mayor, considering that his post could constitute hate speech and could negatively affect the principle of presumption of innocence, especially after widespread comments and attention to the detained person's photo before a final court ruling.
