The announcement was shrouded in secrecy, as the location of the event wasn't revealed until an hour and a half before the inauguration. The aim was to prevent the pro-independence left and the anarchist movement from organizing a boycott. Although this far-right organization, which emerged from the protests outside the PSOE headquarters against the amnesty law and calls on all extremists to "fight in the streets," had kept the location of the event secret until 24 hours prior, it finally revealed shortly before the inauguration that the event would be held at Principal, 35, despite all indications that it would take place in the Catalan capital. However, this is not their new headquarters. They have simply rented a space in an industrial park, usually used for children's events, to present themselves publicly in Catalonia. </p>]]></description>

This is the clothing worn by one of the protesters this Friday on Ferraz Street in Madrid, where the PSOE (Spanish Socialist Workers' Party) is based, in the protest against Pedro Sánchez. He appeared to be no more than twenty years old. Dozens of small groups of young people, some clearly underage, responded to the far-right's call on social media to demand the resignation of the Spanish prime minister. These young people were the ones who sang Francoist chants with the greatest fervor and repeatedly raised their arms in the fascist salute. This phenomenon is not exclusive to the Ferraz protests, which have been reactivated. <a href="https://en.ara.cat/politics/sumar-pressures-santos-cerdan-to-hand-over-the-deputy-s-act_1_5409565.html" >for the Santos Cerdán case</a>Similar scenes have occurred in recent months on the streets of the Spanish capital during protests. <a href="https://en.ara.cat/politics/national-nucleus-the-hooded-savior-of-the-nation-extremists-who-call-for-action-against-the-foreign-invasion_1_5335456.html" >of the neo-Nazi group Núcleo Nacional</a> and of the Spanish Phalanx and the JONS.</p>]]></description>

It was broadcast Sunday night on X by the far-right organization Núcleo Nacional, which the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, has targeted eight months after allowing them to register as a legal association. In the video, the hooded spokesperson for Núcleo Nacional calls for the "active defense" of the state's streets "against foreign invasion," as Marlaska denounced in a media address on Wednesday morning, criticizing the "unnecessary" existence of these "saviors of the country." </p>]]></description>
