American historian Mark Bray, specializing in human rights, terrorism and radicalism, and author ofAntifa. The Antifascist Manual (Captain Swing) decided to leave the United States with his family last October. He had become a target of the far right, sponsored by Donald Trump. He now lives in Madrid and This Friday he participated in Enfoquem, the solutions forum organized by the ARA. During his speech, he explained how neo-fascist movements adopt forms that used to belong to left-wing protests, but without their substance. "They use violence not as a tool, but as a value to return to an imagined past where hierarchies are respected," he stated. The author also denounces the patrimonial regime that prevails in the United States, where the boundaries between the public sphere and private profit are increasingly blurred.

The neo-Nazi organization National Nucleus already has some members in Catalonia and this week announced that it would inaugurate its headquarters in Catalonia on Saturday. 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.
