Latest comment: 9 years ago by Fery1378

The final paragraph should be rephrased, is not neutral at all, tweets weren´t his personal opinions, were put in quotes in context of the limits of black humour, he has written letters of apology to the Jewish community and resigned from department of culture, also sole source http://www.jpost.com/Diaspora/Spanish-city-councilman-applauds-burning-of-Jews-405942 makes false claims stating that Ahora Madrid’s "views on Israel are extremist, mirroring the goals of the Boycott, Sanction, Divestment movement targeting the Jewish state", the party was created in 2015, tweets were from 2011 and had no relation with Ahora Madrid as political party, the political party program https://conoce.ahoramadrid.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/AHORAMADRID_Programa_Municipales_2015.pdf and ethic code is against any form of xenophobia https://ahoramadrid.org/primarias/AHORAMADRID_Codigo_etico_0309.pdf . Also see http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/15/world/europe/spanish-official-apologizes-over-twitter-joke-about-holocaust.html?_r=1 "Zapata issued a statement in which he apologized again and strongly condemned anti-Semitism. He added that the joke, posted on Twitter in 2011, had been part of a debate on the limits of humor and was taken out of context." http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2015/06/14/world/europe/ap-eu-spain-leftist-councilor.html "He said the tweets, sent while working as a script writer and novelist in 2011, were meant as comments on the cruelty jokes sometimes can reflect and had been taken out of context by political opponents."
