Donald Trump returns to X less than three months before the elections
The former president of the United States and Republican candidate for the White House, Donald Trump, reactivated his profile on the social network X on Monday, from which he was suspended in 2021 after the assault of his supporters on the Capitol.
Trump, who has more than 88 million followers in X, made this decision less than three months after the presidential elections of November 5, in which he will face the Democratic candidate, Kamala Harris.
“Are you better now than when I was president? Our economy is shattered. Our border erased. We are a declining nation,” he said in a message that accumulates tens of thousands of interactions.
“Make the American dream AFFORDABLE again! Make the United States SAFE again! Make the United States BIG again!” added the former president.
In addition to this message, Trump shared several posts of his election ads on video.
X, then known as Twitter, decided to suspend Trump’s account in January 2021, amid the political tension derived from the 2020 presidential elections and the assault on the Capitol by his supporters.
His last message, on January 8, 2021, was: “To all those who have asked, I will not attend the inauguration (of Joe Biden) on January 20.”
At the end of 2022, after acquiring the social network for $44 billion, billionaire Elon Musk ordered the return of Trump’s account, but the former president, who had created his own social network, Truth Social, chose to leave it inactive.
I had only posted one message since then. It was in August 2023, when he shared the photo of his police file for the criminal proceedings against him in the state of Georgia with the text: ” Electoral interference. Never give up.”
The date chosen for the return coincides with a talk that this Monday night will have in X Trump and Musk, who has repeatedly expressed his ideological closeness to the former president.

Fire in India’s Jhansi Hospital kills 10 newborns

Seven british citizens arrested in Spain for hashish trafficking 1.2 tons seized
Seven British citizens were arrested in Spain for hashish trafficking in an operation that led to the seizure of 1.2 tons of the drug, which is made from cannabis resin, the Spanish Ministry of the Interior reported on Saturday.
“National Police agents, in collaboration with the National Crime Agency (NCA) of the UK, have dismantled an organization allegedly dedicated to transporting drugs in trucks in Marbella and Elche,” the ministry stated in a press release.
“Agents seized 1,200 kilos of hashish and arrested seven British citizens,” the report specified.
The drugs were found in Marbella and Fuengirola, in southern Spain, as well as in Elche, in the southeastern region.
Part of the hashish was hidden in “large plastic barrels filled with fine mortar sand.”
In addition, the police seized over €63,000 in cash, five passenger vehicles, and a heavy-duty truck.
All of the detainees have been placed in pretrial detention.
Spain serves as the gateway for most of the hashish sold in Europe, due to its proximity to North Africa, the main production area.
In 2022, Spain seized 324.7 tons of hashish, according to the latest available official annual data.

Sinaloa cartel network dismantled in Spain following kidnapping and ransom incident
Fourteen members of the Mexican Sinaloa drug cartel were arrested in Spain following an investigation that began with the kidnapping and murder of an associate, the Spanish National Police announced on Sunday.
“The dismantled criminal network, based in Catalonia, is allegedly involved in the kidnapping and death of a man whose body was found in a wooded area of the region,” explained the National Police in a statement. The victim had traveled from Italy to meet with some of the leaders of the gang.
The criminal organization was “mainly composed of Mexican individuals” and was “linked to the Mexican Sinaloa cartel.”
The victim, a 46-year-old man, was allegedly working for the organization and had traveled to Barcelona from Italy to meet with leaders of the criminal network. The kidnapping took place between late May and June, and the victim’s family in Kosovo alerted the police after receiving a ransom demand of €240,000 (approximately $253,000). The family paid part of the ransom, $32,000 in cryptocurrency.
The victim’s body, whose nationality was not disclosed, was found in August in a forest, showing signs of violence and in an advanced state of decomposition.
The arrested individuals are allegedly connected to drug trafficking, money laundering, kidnapping, and murder. They received packages from Mexico containing methamphetamine soaked into pieces of clothing, which were sent to Catalonia. Once in Spain, they extracted the drug in a laboratory they operated.
The Sinaloa cartel is named after the northwestern Mexican state where it was founded and remains one of the most important criminal organizations in the world, despite the incarceration of two of its historic leaders, Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán and Ismael “Mayo” Zambada, in the United States.
