Against his party, the mayor of New York believes that Trump “is not a fascist”

The mayor of New York, the Democrat Eric Adams, said on Saturday that former President Donald Trump should not be called a “fascist,” with which he is contrary to the approach taken by Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign on the risk that a second term of the Republican means for democracy.

Adams responded to journalists at a press conference at the New York Police Department about the security that has been deployed for the rally that the former president (2017-2021) will hold tomorrow at the iconic Madison Square Garden.
The mayor also said that the Republican candidate should not be compared to Adolf Hitler.

The head of the New York City Council warned that he has been the target of similar attacks during his administration. “My answer is no (Trump is not a fascist), I know what Hitler has done and I know what a fascist regime is like,” Adams said when he was questioned about the statements made by John Kelly, Trump’s former cast chef, this week.

Trump labeled a fascist

Harris has made several references in recent days to Kelly’s statements, who said in an interview this week that Trump had suggested that the Nazi leader “did some good things” and that he needed “German generals” like the ones he had.

The former cheid of staff said that Trump complies with the definition of “fascist.” In that sense, Adams said “that we could all lower the temperature,” referring to the campaign.

He also rejected the criticism of some New York residents for allowing the Republican candidate to hold his rally in the iconic enclosure.

New York mayor disagrees with allegations

“I totally disagree… I think it is important that we allow people to exercise their right to convey their message clearly to New Yorkers,” he said, adding that the city will guarantee the safety of the rally amid concerns about the protests.

Madison Square Garden has hosted major political events including several conventions of both parties.

On February 20, 1939, it served as the stage for a massive meeting of more than 20,000 people who openly supported Adolf Hitler and the rise of fascism in Europe.

Mexican government prioritizes 191 communities after deadly floods

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed on Wednesday that the death toll from recent rains and floods across several central states has risen to 66, while the federal government has activated air bridges and prioritized assistance in 191 isolated communities.

“Unfortunately, 66 people have died, and 75 remain missing,” the president said during her morning press conference. She added that the official death toll will be updated later in a new report.

As of Tuesday, authorities had reported 64 fatalities. Sheinbaum also announced the creation of a public information center to centralize official data on the deceased, missing persons, damaged homes, and cut-off communities.

According to the president, the number of missing persons has decreased thanks to coordination with state authorities.

“Through calls to phone line 079, 103 people who had been reported missing have now been located,” she explained.

New road and bridge explosions raise alarm amid indigenous protests in Ecuador

Ecuadorian authorities are investigating two explosions that occurred early Wednesday, one on a road in the southern part of the country and another under a bridge in Guayas province. These incidents follow the car bomb explosion in the coastal city of Guayaquil, also in Guayas, which occurred the day before and left one person dead and 30 injured.

Press reports indicate that one person was injured and several vehicles were damaged in the explosion on the Cuenca-Girón-Pasaje road in the south.

“Besides yesterday’s explosion in Guayaquil, we have received reports of explosives placed on bridges along the Guayaquil-Machala and Machala-Cuenca routes to disrupt traffic,” said Roberto Luque, Minister of Infrastructure and Transport (MIT).

On his X social media account, Luque reported that authorities have been deployed to the sites to assess the damage and determine the current condition of the structures.

“What they haven’t achieved with their call for a strike, some are trying to achieve through terrorism,” he stated, referring to the 24 days of protests organized by the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities (Conaie) against rising diesel prices and other demands.

Armed forces target illegal mines in Northern Ecuador with bombing raids

Ecuador’s Armed Forces carried out an operation on Monday — including airstrikes — against illegal mining in the town of Buenos Aires, in the country’s north, Defense Minister Gian Carlo Loffredo reported.

The mountainous, gold-rich area has been a hotspot for illegal mining since 2017, located in the Andean province of Imbabura.

In 2019, former president Lenín Moreno deployed around 2,400 soldiers to the region in an attempt to curb the illegal activity. “The operation began with mortar fire, followed by gunfire and bombing runs by Supertucano aircraft,” Loffredo said in a video released by the Defense Ministry.

He added that the operation would continue on Tuesday with patrols across the area to locate possible members of “irregular armed groups that may have crossed from the Colombian border.”

The Armed Forces stated on X that the intervention focused on the “complete elimination of multiple illegal mining tunnels” in the areas known as Mina Nueva and Mina Vieja.

The operation coincided with the deployment of a military and police convoy into Imbabura, which has been the epicenter of protests against President Daniel Noboa since September 22, following his decision to scrap the diesel subsidy.
