South Africa’s president pushes back on Trump’s demand to arrest politician who chanted ‘kill the farmer’

[ad_1]
JOHANNESBURG – South African President Cyril Ramaphosa hit back Tuesday against President Donald Trump’s demand that opposition politician Julius Malema should be arrested, for repeatedly chanting «kill the farmer.»
Also on Tuesday, a senior politician within South Africa’s government told Fox News Digital the chant «inflamed hatred» and called for «legal consequences.»
In the White House Oval Office last week, President Trump had a video showing Malema making the chant shown to the then-visiting Ramaphosa. Trump told the South African leader that Malema should be arrested.
On Sunday, Malema, leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) political party, which drew just under 10% of the vote in last May’s South African election and is not part of the government of national unity, told a crowd of thousands at a rally in South Africa’s Free State, «I will never be intimidated by Donald Trump.»

Just four days after the president’s call that he should be arrested, Malema launched into the chant again, shouting to cheers «Shoot to kill. Kill the Boer (Afrikaans farmer), the farmer.» The Afrikaners are descendants of mostly Dutch settlers who first arrived in South Africa in 1652.
Appearing to want to emphasize defiance, Malema then chanted «I repeat, kill the Boer, the farmer.»
Reacting to President Trump calling for Malema’s arrest, President Ramaphosa on Tuesday told reporters there are no plans to detain the EFF leader. «It’s not a matter where we need to be instructed by anyone (to) go and arrest this one. (Malema) We are a very proud sovereign country that has its own laws, that has its own processes.»
Ramaphosa continued that South Africa’s equivalent of the Supreme Court, the Constitutional Court, had decided in 2022 the slogan «kill the Boer, kill the farmer» was only a decades-old «liberation chant and slogan, and it’s not meant to be a message that elicits or calls upon anyone to go and be killed, and that is what our court decided.» Critics point out that Malema sits on South Africa’s Judicial Services Commission – the body that appoints judges here.

All of this is against the background of President Trump accusing South Africa of genocide against farmers and inviting so far 49 Whites to fly to the U.S. as refugees.
«That chant has no place in a democratic South Africa,» the Democratic Alliance (DA) party’s Ian Cameron told Fox News Digital. The DA is South Africa’s main opposition party. They are members of the government of national unity, with Cameron serving as chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Police.
Cameron said that Malema singing the chant again this past weekend was «continuing to divide society and inflame hatred and mistrust. (It) plays a specific role in why farm attacks in South Africa are so unique: while brutal attacks continue in rural areas, he sings that song with pride, and many of his supporters openly celebrate the violence on social media.»

«I do believe that Julius Malema’s repeated incitement—especially through songs like ‘Kill the Boer’, crosses a dangerous and unacceptable line,» Cameron continued. «Freedom of speech is a cornerstone of democracy, but it cannot be used as a shield for promoting violence. At the very least, there should be legal consequences for incitement of violence, and our justice system must act without fear or favor.»
Ramaphosa said he was not going to have people arrested «willy nilly,» adding on Tuesday, «we are a country where freedom of expression is the bedrock of our constitutional arrangement.»
None of this has phased Malema, who is on record saying, «I will sing the song as and when I like.»
Fox News Digital reached out to Malema but received no response.

Attacks on both White and Black farmers here are real. Cameron told Fox News Digital, «I’ve personally stood in the aftermath of these attacks. I’ve walked into scenes that resembled abattoirs. I remember one farm where the victim’s fingernail marks were still embedded in the carpet from where he was dragged and tortured. These are not ordinary crimes and often include disproportionate violence.»

Infierno en el PSOE de España: Pedro Sánchez se victimizó, confirman la expulsión de los que paguen por sexo y hubo otra renuncia por acosos

[ad_1]
Expulsarán a los que paguen por sexo
Otra renuncia que se sumó al escándalo
CLAVES DEL CASO QUE GOLPEA A PEDRO SÁNCHEZ
- 1. El origen del caso de corrupción que sacude a Pedro Sánchez
El caso se remonta a 2020, en los primeros meses de la pandemia de COVID-19. El Ministerio de Transportes, liderado entonces por José Luis Ábalos (PSOE), adjudicó contratos millonarios de emergencia para la compra de barbijos. Uno de los intermediarios fue la empresa Soluciones de Gestión, vinculada a Víctor de Aldama, empresario amigo de Koldo García, exasesor del ministro de Pedro Sánchez.
- 2. Presunta trama de coimasLa investigación judicial sostiene que se montó una trama para cobrar coimas millonarias en contratos públicos de barijos adjudicados por el Ministerio y varias administraciones públicas. Se sospecha que parte del dinero acabó en manos de Koldo y otros intermediarios.
- 3. Teléfonos pinchados, audios y prostitución
La UCO (Guardia Civil) comenzó a interceptar comunicaciones en 2023. En los audios conocidos en 2024, se escucha hablar de “amigas” o “novias” (en realidad prostitutas), pagos en efectivo, y movimientos de dinero opacos y alquileres de pisos para fiestas. Estas grabaciones forman la base principal de la investigación judicial.
- 4. Operación policial y detenciones
En febrero de 2024, la UCO lanzó una operación con registros y detenciones, incluyendo a Koldo García. La causa pasó a manos del juez de la Audiencia Nacional, Ismael Moreno. También fue detenido Víctor de Aldama, presidente del Zamora CF.
- 5. Escándalo político y ruptura en el PSOE
Aunque en un primer momento el PSOE intentó marcar distancia, las conexiones con Ábalos resultaron inevitables. En marzo de 2024, el partido de Pedro Sánchez le exigió que renuncie como diputado, pero él se negó.
- 6. Se filtran los audios del caso y detona la crisis de Gobierno
En junio de 2025, nuevos audios publicados por El Confidencial revelaron cómo se hablaba de «pagar a las chicas», lo que provocó un escándalo adicional. La presión mediática aumentó, el termino «puteros» se instaló dentro del PSOE, el feminismo partidario exhibió su indignación y el caso escaló aún más.
- 7. Un allanamiento, una actriz porno y pruebas ocultas
Como si al caso le faltara algo, el 17 de junio la UCO allanó el domicilio del exministro Ávalos y lo encontró con una actriz porno, que intentó sacar a pasear a un perro durante el operativo y le encontraron una memoria de USB escondida en la ropa. La mujer dijo que era su amiga y luego que trabajaba limpiando su casa.

Trump touts ‘very popular’ domestic policy bill ahead of White House signing

[ad_1]
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump says that his sweeping domestic policy bill that squeaked through both houses of Congress this week along near-party-line votes is «very popular» with Americans.
Asked about a slew of national polls conducted last month which indicated that most Americans were far from thrilled with the massive spending and tax cut bill, the president told reporters early Friday morning, «I think it’s very popular. It does many things, but one of them is the biggest tax cuts in our country’s history. And that alone makes it very popular.»
The president spoke as he returned home from a July 4th-eve event at the Iowa State Fairgrounds where he headlined a kickoff celebration of next year’s 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
‘BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL ON WAY TO WHITE HOUSE AFTER NARROWLY PASSING FINAL HURDLE IN CONGRESS

«There could be no better birthday present for America than the phenomenal victory we achieved just hours ago,» Trump told the large crowd in Des Moines, Iowa, as he referred to the move by House Republicans in a 218-214 vote hours earlier to lift the so-called «One Big Beautiful Bill» to final congressional passage.
Earlier in the week, Vice President JD Vance broke a tie in the Senate to pass the measure 51-50.
WHAT’S ACTUALLY IN TRUMP’S ‘BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL’
Trump noted that «not one Democrat voted» for the bill in either chamber of Congress, adding that «they hate Trump. But I hate them too.»
The president had repeatedly insisted to the Republicans who control Congress that the bill reach his desk by July 4th, and Trump got his way. He’s expected to sign the measure at the White House at 5pm ET.

The bill is stuffed full of Trump’s 2024 campaign trail promises and second-term priorities on tax cuts, immigration, defense, energy and the debt limit.
It includes extending his signature 2017 tax cuts and eliminating taxes on tips and overtime pay.
By making his first-term tax rates permanent – they were set to expire later this year – the bill will cut taxes by nearly $4.4 trillion over the next decade, according to analysis by the Congressional Budget Office and the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.
HOW MUCH THE ‘BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL’ WILL CUT YOUR TAXES
The measure also provides billions for border security and codifies the president’s controversial immigration crackdown.
As Democrats criticize the bill, they’re highlighting the GOP’s restructuring of Medicaid — the nearly 60-year-old federal program that provides health coverage to roughly 71 million low-income Americans. Additionally, Senate Republicans increased cuts to Medicaid over what the House initially passed in late May.
The changes to Medicaid, as well as cuts to food stamps, another one of the nation’s major safety net programs, were drafted in part as an offset to pay for extending Trump’s tax cuts. The measure includes a slew of new rules and regulations, including work requirements for many of those seeking Medicaid coverage.
Ken Martin, chair of the Democratic National Commnitte, called the measure «one of the worst bills in our nation’s history.»
«Today, Donald Trump and the Republican party sent a message to America: if you are not a billionaire, we don’t give a damn about you,» Martin argued.
Overall, the $3.4 trillion legislative package is projected to surge the national debt by $4 trillion over the next decade.
By a 21-point margin, voters questioned in the most recent Fox News national poll opposed the bill (38% favored vs. 59% opposed).
HEAD HERE FOR THE LATEST FOX NEWS POLLING
The bill was also underwater in other national surveys conducted last month by the Washington Post (minus 19 points), Pew Research (minus 20 points) and Quinnipiac University (minus 26 points).
About half of respondents questioned in the Fox News poll said the bill would hurt their family (49%), while one quarter thought it would help (23%), and another quarter didn’t think it would make a difference (26%).
Sixty percent felt they had a good understanding of what is in the measure, formally known as the One, Big, Beautiful Bill, and while those voters were more likely to favor the legislation than those who are unfamiliar with it, more still think it will hurt rather than help their family (45% vs. 34%).

The latest surveys all indicated a wide partisan divide over the measure.
According to the Fox News poll, which was conducted June 13-16, nearly three-quarters of Republicans (73%) favored the bill, while nearly nine in ten Democrats (89%) and nearly three-quarters of independents (73%) opposed the measure.

But Republicans are shining a spotlight on a poll conducted by a GOP-aligned public policy group that indicates strong support for the bill due to the tax cut provisions.
A release earlier this week from the group, One Nation, argued that «polling shows that the public supports the Republican plan to cut taxes for families, eliminate taxes on Social Security, overtime, and tips, and reign in waste and abuse in the federal budget.»

El Gobierno de Francia reabrió el río Sena para los bañistas por primera vez desde 1923

[ad_1]
Casi un año después de que lo hicieran los atletas olímpicos, los primeros bañistas se sumergieron este sábado en las aguas del Sena en pleno centro de París, que autorizó el baño en el río por primera vez desde 1923.
No eran todavía las 08:00 de la mañana y decenas de personas esperaban ya el gran momento en una de las tres zonas habilitadas para el baño, una especie de piscinas equipadas con pontones, escaleras, duchas y vestuarios.

Cerca de la torre Eiffel o frente a la isla de San Luis, no lejos de la catedral de Notre-Dame, residentes locales y turistas podrán hacer uso gratuito de estas instalaciones acotadas, que ofrecerán un espacio de ocio y refresco en París.
Prometido como un legado de los Juegos Olímpicos, el poder bañarse en el Sena responde también a una necesidad de adaptación al cambio climático en la capital francesa, que esta semana rozó los 40°C por una temprana ola de calor en Europa.
“Uno de mis predecesores, entonces alcalde de París, soñó con un Sena donde cualquiera pudiera nadar. Mañana su promesa se cumplirá”, publicó el viernes en X el presidente francés, Emmanuel Macron, refiriéndose a su antecesor Jacques Chirac.
El acceso a estas zonas es gratuito y regirá dentro de los horarios establecidos hasta el 31 de agosto si la meteorología lo permite. Pero habrá un aforo estricto, de entre 150 y 700 personas en función del lugar.

Las autoridades invirtieron más de 1.400 millones de euros (1.650 millones de dólares) para mejorar la calidad del agua río arriba, con obras de captación de aguas residuales para evitar que desemboquen en él.
Pero como las aguas pluviales y las residuales se mezclan, la única solución en caso de abundantes precipitaciones es vertir todas ellas en el Sena. Esto ya ocurrió hace un año durante los Juegos Olímpicos, lo que provocó retrasos en algunas pruebas programadas en el río porque el agua no era apta para el baño.
Como en las playas, un sistema de banderas (verdes, amarillas y rojas) informa del caudal y la calidad del agua del río, que se analizará con sondas instantáneas y muestras de cultivos. Si hay bandera roja, el baño estará prohibido.
En cualquier caso, las tres zonas abiertas contarán con una fuerte vigilancia, hasta el punto de que los bañistas deberán pasar una prueba para demostrar que pueden nadar sin ayuda.
“Existe un riesgo de ahogo a causa del cieno y las plantas adheridas, las fuertes corrientes, el riesgo de hidrocución y el tráfico fluvial”, afirmó la subprefecta Elise Lavielle.
El año pasado hubo “trece muertes en el Sena” y el balance ya va por “tres este año”, agregó.
Aunque el fuerte calor estival puede tentar a algunos a lanzarse al agua fuera de estas zonas, una normativa entró en vigor a finales de junio para sancionar el baño en espacios no autorizados.
La ciudad, el primer puerto fluvial europeo para el transporte de pasajeros, también reforzará los controles sobre los conductores de embarcaciones.

Para el próximo año, la continuación de los trabajos de descontaminación del río hace prever la instalación de nuevas zonas de baño en las afueras de la capital.
Por ahora, hay otros cuatro sitios ya habilitados en el río Marne, el principal afluente del Sena.
