Spanish PM condemns riots over rapper’s arrest signalling rift in coalition

Recent violent street protests over the imprisonment of a rapper are “inadmissible,” Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said on Friday, in comments that accentuated a rift with his coalition government's junior partner. In impromptu remarks at the start of a speech about the economy, Mr. Sánchez addressed the three consecutive nights of rioting this week that have ignited a heated debate over the limits of free speech in Spain and a political storm over the use of violence by both the rapper's supporters and the police.
