It’s rape not abuse M O T R I L’ S m a y o r L u i s a Garcia Chamorro and town councillors joined a demonstration in support with a ‘rape’ victim. They joined the rally at noon on Monday which was organised by the Municipal Council of Women. It was in protest at a p r o s e c u t o r ’s d e c i s i o n t o c h a rg e f i v e y o u t h s w i t h sexual abuse rather than rape after they had sex with a 13-year-old girl who was rendered incapacitated through drink and drugs. The incident happened in a disused warehouse in the Catalan town of Manresa, and has become known as ‘the Manresa wolf pack’ after the case of a woman who was raped at the Pamplona bull running festival. At the demonstration, a minute’s silence was held and a manifesto was read in protest against the decision of the Public Prosecutor’s Office. The mayor closed the reading with a resounding “It is not abuse, it is rape.”

Heroic lifeguards save elderly man THE fast response time of the lifeguards on duty at Velilla beach in Almuñecar saved the life of a 7 4 - y e a r- o l d m a n w h o w a s s t r u g g l i n g t o s w i m about 60 metres from the shoreline. The elderly gentleman from Jaen had planted his umbrella down and went for a swim in the sea, but due to adverse weather conditions, the waves were stronger than usual and swept him out further than he had planned to go. Lifeguards Alicia and Alonso saw the man exhausted and semi-conscious from their boat and immediately made a beeline to save him from drowning. They mentioned afterwards that if they had come along 10 minutes later the man ‘would most likely be dead.’ As soon as the Jaen resident was safely on board the team called an ambulance and he was rushed to a hospital near Puerta de Mar. He and his family expressed their wholehearted gratitude to the saviours after he was released from hospital. The man is now enjoying some much needed rest at his holiday apartment and is in good health.
