The United States denies Ada Colau the visa to participate in a city meeting in Puerto Rico

The U.S. government denied Ada Colau a visa to attend the Fearless Cities conference in Puerto Rico, citing political reasons. Colau's team claims the denial is linked to her previous humanitarian efforts in Gaza. In response, Colau criticized the U.S. for its colonial stance and vowed to continue advocating for democracy. She also reopened her social media accounts to address the situation, including her Twitter account, which she had closed in 2021. Colau's previous detention in Israel for her humanitarian work has been a focal point in her political narrative.
