Today's Europe news map

Danish broadcaster admits printing 1,000 pages of secret police files for source

Halloween traditions appear to have expanded from costumes to street battles. Police in Dublin were targeted with a handheld firework launcher. Officers in Zurich deployed water cannons after a Tesla was set alight, and Frankfurt saw widespread looting as peaceful youth protests ended in violence. In Norway, police nearly discharged their firearms to control the unrest, while Vienna required a security deployment that matched the scale of its own riots. The morning cleanup is underway, though the participants have largely been left to explain what burning barricades have to do with a harvest festival.

Denmark

Broadcaster apologizes for printing secret police files for source

The editor-in-chief of TV 2 admitted the network printed 1,000 pages of confidential documents to help a source known as Fasar 'smash' a witness. The outlet now concedes this was a serious error. The line between reporting on a subject and working for one has rarely been crossed with such administrative volume.

Serbia

Police chiefs arrested by their own subordinates

The heads of the Criminal Police Directorate and the Anti-Corruption Service were detained on suspicion of abusing their office. The arrests were carried out by officers from their own departments. The hierarchy of the force was briefly inverted, proving that accountability can occasionally flow upwards.

Romania

Socialist leaders host luxury gala during austerity push

The Social Democratic Party spent the week campaigning against budget cuts before hosting a lavish party featuring the Italian singer Al Bano. Marcel Ciolacu used the evening to formalize a personal relationship. His party used it to demonstrate that belt-tightening is a policy best applied to the electorate.

Spain

Prime Minister keeps transport minister in post after 69 rail deaths

Pedro Sánchez instructed Óscar Puente to stay in office to manage the aftermath of the Urda train disaster. Adif, the infrastructure manager run by political appointees, is accused of withholding transparency records for the track where the train derailed. In a country where only one official has resigned following the last four catastrophes, the minister's survival is entirely consistent with precedent.

Tax office advises debtor to continue prostitution

A financial office reportedly advised a woman to keep working in prostitution so she could generate the money required to pay her calculated tax arrears. The state occasionally has moral objections to the profession, but it remains practical about its revenue.
