At seven in the evening, Jésica distributes leaflets to a group of Moroccan citizens having tea at the Istanbul café, just a few meters from the Civil Guard unit that begins to seal off access to the San Antonio neighborhood, where most of the Moroccan community of Torre Pacheco, Murcia, lives. "Go home at night, don't be like them," she pleads. Jésica tries to calm the waters after three nights of clashes between young Moroccans (many of them minors) and people linked to the far right, fueled by parties like Vox, which arrives from nearby municipalities to "hunt" the young people, whom they accuse of attacking a 68-year-old man last week.

Violent attacks against the LGTBI collective increased by 50% in Catalonia last year. The Observatory against Homophobia (OCH) counted, in total, 284 incidents between January 1 and December 31, 2021 in Catalonia. Of these, a third ended in a complaint. The organisation's report The state of LGTBIphobia in Catalonia 2021, which was presented this Monday in Barcelona, also alerts that July was the time of the year when more cases were registered (48), and that most of the attacks occurred on weekends.

Catalan Home Affairs Minister, Joan Ignasi Elena, has explained that groups of people who "meet and go hunting" to attack homosexuals have been detected, although there is no evidence that they are "organised plots". According to Elena on RAC1, they are people "'from here, of different ages", who attack LGTBI collective thanks to a "certain permissiveness in the rejection of difference". "They live installed in hatred and fed by the culture of hate", he said, and has ensured that the Mossos d'Esquadra are very much on top of these aggressors.

It was Maundy Thursday when a man in his fifties showed up at the office that the SEPE (Spanish State Public Employment Service) shares with the SOC (Catalan Employment Service) on Sepúlveda Street in Barcelona. He entered and tried to make an appointment after explaining, in desperation, that he had tried repeatedly by phone and online but there was no way. The workers told him there was nothing they could do. "He went to the office door, undressed - he even took off his mask - and insulted us for 45 minutes because we wouldn't give him an appointment", explains Miguel Ángel García, an Employment Service worker at the office. "The man was very angry, shouting and calling us all kinds of things", he adds. The incident ended when the Mossos d'Esquadra showed up, alerted by security staff, and the man got dressed up and left.
