Politicians from the Spanish region of Galicia have rejected a draft resolution to commemorate the Holocaust, according to reports.
In Spain's provincial administrations, a council of speakers must approve a national resolution before it is submitted to the local parliament.
In Galicia, a veto in the council of speakers prevented the resolution on Shoah commemoration from going to a vote, the Federation of Jewish Communities in Spain told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
The block came from a left wing coalition and a nationalist group - respectively the Galician Left Alternative (AGE) and the Galician Nationalist Block (BNG).
AGE leader Xosé-Manuel Beiras reportedly rejected the resolution because "We do not want to support a statement promoted by the state of Israel which is dyed in the wool of imperialism." Full story...
