Aurora food bank flooded with desperate refugees

AURORA, Colo. (KDVR) — It can only be described as a heartbreaking sight. Hundreds waited for hours in the August heat hoping for a single bag of food.“It is very hard not to cry," said Amanda Blaurock, executive director of the Village Exchange Center. The center, which provides food and vaccines for refugees, usually sees about 150 people on distribution days. But that number has grown to more than 500 over the past few weeks. FOX31 spoke with one recipient, who said through an English translator: "Sometimes our husbands stay without work. God bless this organization for all the help they do."

Poland’s ruling party throws the opposition a referendum curveball

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 06:39:15 GMT

WARSAW — Anyone in favor of accepting illegal migrants, lowering border defenses, selling off state companies and making people work longer before they retire?If that’s the case, they should vote for Poland’s opposition parties and not the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party, which is putting those four questions to a referendum that will be held on the same day as the October 15 parliamentary election.The referendum questions are set to be approved Thursday by the lower house of parliament, where PiS holds a narrow majority.The questions and the way they’re phrased are not serious legislative ideas. Rather they’re designed to cause problems for PiS’s main rival in the election, the center-right Civic Platform (PO) and its leader Donald Tusk, in an election in which the ruling nationalists are trying to win an unprecedented third term.The idea is for the questions to whip up public support. The referendum is also treated separately from the election unde...

Spain’s Sánchez faces moment of truth as fresh elections loom

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 06:39:15 GMT

Spanish lawmakers are set to decide if the country will be governed by a fragile left-wing coalition led by current Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez — or if voters will be sent back to the ballot box for another election. After last month’s general election resulted in no overall winner, Sánchez will face a vital first test on Thursday as he seeks to find a way to remain in power. Although he has apparently succeeded in winning the support of a vast array of leftist and separatist parties, the socialist politician still doesn’t have the numbers needed to form a government: He requires at least a few MPs belonging to the Catalan independence Junts party to back his candidacy in parliament if he is to remain in office.That’s bad news for Sánchez, because Junts’ de facto leader, the self-exiled former Catalan president Carles Puigdemont, is demanding the socialists make seemingly impossible concessions in exchange for his party’s support.If JuntsR...
