The mayor of Santa Susanna, Joan Campolier, has once again justified the celebration of the neo-Nazi festival Chaos in the Sun, which starts this Friday and runs until tomorrow, on a private estate. In an interview with El matí de Catalunya Ràdio, the councilor mayor has defended that in the previous three editions there have been no incidents. "It has been held for three years and there have been no problems, it has gone unnoticed and the organizers have respected the schedule," he said. Marc Buch, the mayor of Calella, where most attendees sleep, did reveal in conversation with ARA that "two years ago there was a fight between them and last night there was another one at the party they are holding in a local nightclub."

Joan Campolier (Santa Susanna, 1950) has justified that his town hosts for the fourth consecutive year in two weekends' time a Nazi festival because it is a "private party" and that the City Council "can do nothing". The anti-fascist groups that held a demonstration on Friday and the opposition parties do not think the same, who denounce that once again the mayor of this municipality in Maresme has not sought a way to prevent it. "It is held on non-developable land, it can be considered a rave and groups that glorify Nazism act when legislation pursues it," retorts the head of the opposition and spokesperson for a coalition that includes ERC, Jordi Cusachs, who believes that "the council has a lot to say".

The annual Nazi gathering returns to Maresme. For the fourth consecutive year, a farmhouse belonging to the Pawnees MC biker group in Santa Susanna will host the Chaos in the Sun music festival, which has been advertised on social media for days. And for the fourth consecutive year, antifascist groups from the region will demonstrate against it. The event is private — only accessible by invitation — and intended, as some of the guests let it be known, "only for those on this side of the street".
