In terms of grammar it is fine. Yes. There's one thing to consider, though.

- Yes.

- Both 'recent' and 'a week ago' tell us when this happened.
- It seems to me that you need only one of these expressions, not both.

It's not idiomatic to just say 'masses'.
Say 'the masses' if you mean all the common, ordinary people.
Say 'a lot of people' if this is what you mean.
