Protests erupted across Spain this week over the alleged homophobic killing of Samuel Luiz in Galicia. Four people have so far been arrested in connection with the murder of the 24-year-old nurse, who was brutally beaten to death by what police have called a "human pack."
In coronavirus news, cases continue to surge among young people, with the cumulative incidence rate for the 20-29 age group now at 911 cases per 100,000 inhabitants – three times the national average. The situation has prompted several regions to reintroduce measures aimed at curbing contagions.
Meanwhile in Spain, the Spanish Cabinet greenlighted a sweeping bill – popularly known as the "Only Yes Means Yes" law – to provide comprehensive protection and assistance to victims of sexual violence.
And finally, we looked at the story behind the Spanish hit song 'Macarena,' which shot to the US charts in 1996 and stayed there for 14 week.
We hope you enjoy this selection of articles from the EL PAÍS English Edition.
Thanks for reading.
