TILLERSON CONDEMNS RACISM, CALLS FOR NATIONAL RECONCILIATION

U.S. Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, issued a forceful condemnation of

"bigotry in all its forms" on Friday and called for national reconciliation as he

promised to work toward making the government with greater minority

participation.

[5] Tillerson invoked the 1865 second inaugural address by Abraham Lincoln, the

president who freed the slaves and presided over the Civil War against

rebellious pro-slavery Confederate Southern States.

As the war drew to a close, Lincoln asked the nation to bind up its wounds

from the conflict, Tillerson noted.

[10] "We, too, today should seek to bind up the wounds," Tillerson said. "We must

pursue reconciliation, understanding and respect regardless of skin color,

ethnicity or religious or political views."

He added: "Racism is evil; it is antithetical to America's values. It's antithetical

to the American idea."

[15] Tillerson said one of America's defining characteristics "is the promise of the

opportunity for advancement regardless of your skin color, how much money

your parents make or where you came from."

He announced a new State Department policy in which at least one candidate

for any opening for an ambassador post must be a minority, noting that

[20] currently only about 12 percent of U.S. senior foreign service officers are

non-white.

"The State Department must redouble our efforts to increase diversity at the

highest ranks of the department, including at the ambassador level," Tillerson

said.

[25] Statistics published by the State Department show that as of the end of June,

88 percent of senior foreign service officers - the high-ranking diplomats

from which the country's ambassadors are drawn - are white and 4 percent

are black. One-third of senior foreign service officers are women, and 7

percent of the agency's civil service members are Hispanic.

[30] To remedy the lack of diversity, Tillerson said he had told committees that

nominate ambassadorial candidates at least one candidate for each opening

must be a member of a minority group.

Crunch time as Catalonia holds independence vote

Hundreds of people started gathering at polling stations in Catalonia early on Sunday to vote in an independence referendum banned by Madrid, according to AFP reporters on the ground. Photo: Pierre-Philippe Marcou/AFP

 

In Barcelona, as well as Girona, the bastion of Catalan president Carles Puigdemont, people said they had turned out¹ before dawn to protect polling stations and defend their right to vote, defying attempts by the central government to prevent the ballot from taking place.

 

Spain's central government is staunchly against the vote, which has been ruIed unconstitutional by the courts, and has used all the legal tools at its disposal to stop it from taking place.

 

On orders of judges and prosecutors, police have seized ballot papers, detained key organisers and shut down² websites promoting the vote. 

 

But on the streets early Sunday, voters were determined to be heard.

 

“In Catalonia, we are at the stage where we think that it's essential to decide if we want to remain part of the Spanish state,” Pau Valls, an 18-year-old student told AFP.

 

In an interview with AFP on Saturday, Puigdemont insisted that his government had “everything in place” so that the referendum could go ahead in the wealthy region that is home to some 7.5 million people.

 

Occupied schools

 

The planned referendum has sown divisions among Catalans and stoked passions further afield in Spain.

 

Opinion polls show the region is deeply divided over independence, but a large majority of Catalans want to be able to settle the matter in a referendum, though most would prefer it to be legal and binding.

 

Whatever happens, Sunday's referendum result will not be recognised by Madrid, and almost certainly not by the international community.

 

But separatist leaders are banking on a high turnout to give Iegitimacy to their vote, though it is as yet uncIear how people will be able to cast their ballots.

 

Spain's interior ministry said Saturday police had closed most of the 2,315 polling stations across Catalonia. But at least 160 were occupied by teachers, parents, students and activists determined to let people in anyway.

 

All eyes were on whether police would forcefully evict them.

 

Some schools designated as polling stations imagined innovative ways to stay open, organising leisure activities all over the weekend, from kids” pyjama parties to volleyball games.

 

A regional government source said voting may also take place in other places like health centres and even retirement homes.

 

Farmers and firefighters have also pledged to protect polling stations.

 

Berta Clos, an 18-year-old student, was helping to occupy Barcelona's Menendez y Pelayo Institute.

 

She said Catalan police had already told those inside that they would come and notify them that they had to shut the school down.

 

“But they have also told us that if there are people inside, they won't be able to do it so we just need to make sure that this remains open.”

 

Unity protests

 

The Mossos d'Esquadra Catalan police have warned about the risk of “disruption of public order” if efforts are made to prevent people from casting ballots.

 

Madrid has sent thousands of extra police officers from other forces to Catalonia to stop the referendum from happening.

 

On Saturday, Puigdemont called on³ those going to vote to maintain a “peaceful attitude”.

 

That same day, thousands took to the streets across the country - including in Barcelona - in favour of national unity.

 

As well as being critical of Puigdemont, some protesters also faulted Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy's conservative government for Iimiting its response to the crisis to repeating that the referendum is unconstitutional.

 

“The state needs to explain the benefits of remaining united, instead of repeating all the time that the referendum is illegal,” said Rafael Castillo, a 59-year-old engineer at a Madrid rally, wearing a scarf with the Spanish flag around his neck.

 

Whatever happens on Sunday, analysts fear that the standoff between Catalan leaders and Madrid has left a damaging mark 

 

And it is unlikely to blow over⁴ after the vote.

 

Carles Riera, a regional parliament Iawmaker for the radical CUP party, part of Catalonia's separatist coalition, vowed that mobilisation would continue after the vote - if the “yes” camp won but Madrid opposed the result, as is almost certain.

 

“We're in a process of popular mobilisation that is going to last a while,” he told reporters.
