Around 2,000 people, according to the government delegation, gathered this Saturday in the center of Madrid and marched through Ferraz Street, a year after the demonstrations that took place in 2023 at the PSOE headquarters in Madrid for the law of amnesty. The police eventually charged a group of demonstrators who attempted to break the police cordon and threw objects at the officers.
The Socialist Party condemned and “despised” the fact that the streets of Madrid “are once again a place where fascist cries are heard and Nazi salutes are seen”. This is how the PSOE expressed itself in its X account in reference to the demonstration from Plaza España to its headquarters. Accompanied by the text, the PSOE published a video of demonstrators in which they hear “fucking red the one who does not bounce”, “Christian and non-Muslim Spain” or “in Madrid not a fucking MENA”, among other chants . .
In the same message of “No one will find the PSOE lukewarm in its condemnation of these movements”, and he asked the Popular Party and its leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, to position themselves “in the same way”.
“They are not attacking the PSOE, they are attacking our democracy,” declared the Socialist Party, which indicated “that silence, condescension or looking away only feeds the monster of the extreme right.” “Expanding a democratic perimeter around the ultras is a duty of all the democratic parties in our country. “No one can present themselves to citizens as a democrat, as long as they do not condemn these events that transport us to Spain’s dark past,” they concluded in another message on the social network X.
Among the organizers was the neo-Nazi group Núcleo Nacional, which defends xenophobic ideas and which emerged from the national platform in November in the aftermath of the mobilizations against the PSOE for the amnesty law in Ferraz.
