The Police investigate the participation in the riots in Ferraz of an "amalgamation of far-right groups"

This Tuesday, the agents arrested six people with no criminal record and they were released pending judicial proceedings.

MADRID, 8 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The National Police is investigating the role played by an "amalgam of far-right groups" behind the riots that are gaining more intensity every day due to clashes with the Security Forces agents guarding the access to the PSOE headquarters in Madrid. Ferraz street, as police sources have informed Europa Press.

These are sympathizers of España 2000, Bastión Frontal, Hogar Social or Ultrasur, some groups currently active and others who were believed to have already disappeared, and who now gather every afternoon to 'take over' the protest, initially peaceful and which, with the support of Vox, rejects the amnesty law that the PSOE is negotiating with pro-independence parties for the investiture of Pedro Sánchez.

They are small groups that often confront each other, where, according to the aforementioned police sources, messages in favor of the unity of Spain are mixed with slogans against immigration, as seen in the fact that one of the mottos is "Christian and non-Muslim Spain." . There are also recurring chants against the Constitution, believing that it "destroys the nation."

There are ultras who have passed through several of these organizations, many of them arising from splits due to internal disputes, hence the police hypothesis is that there was not previously a "unity of action", although they later act in a coordinated manner in the midst of the mass to seek confrontation with the police cordon, as is usual in protests by radicals from both the extreme right and the left.

The protests in Ferraz began last Friday, November 3, and have been increasing in the number of attendees and also in the aggressiveness and violence shown by what the Police classify as "ultra aesthetic" infiltrators.

This Tuesday was the day with the most attendees, 7,000 people, with altercations such as the throwing of bottles and paving stones, as well as the burning of containers and the destruction of street furniture. The aforementioned police sources do not believe that there is a "unit of action", although they refer to the ongoing investigation.

The police charges left six detainees, all Spanish. Five are men and one is a woman, aged between 19 and 44 years; one of them is a minor under 17 years old. None of them have a criminal record and they have been released, pending the court summons.

This Tuesday's protest, to which the Police responded with shooting rubber bullets in addition to the tear gas that was also used on Monday - when there were three detainees - resulted in 39 injuries of varying degrees, including 30 riot police' of the Police Intervention Unit (UIP).

In the front line of the congregation and separated by fences from the National Police, on which the ultras usually direct themselves to try to break the police cordon, members of the ultra Spain 2000 formation were grouped, carrying a large banner in which It read "Spain is not for sale. Social resistance." At this point, tension was generated with other protesters, contrary to the Nazi proclamations that these protesters uttered.

From the 1,000 protesters on Friday, on Saturday there were 250 people. On Monday, 3,800 people supported it, including the leader of Vox, Santiago Abascal, and yesterday, Tuesday, another 7,000. According to sources from the Government Delegation, the only protest that was reported was the one on Monday, the first day that the Police used anti-riot material such as tear gas after throwing objects and attempting to surpass the fence.

The Police have detected that the 200 far-right infiltrators with Nazi symbols at Monday's protest increased "noticeably" in yesterday's Tuesday demonstration. This Wednesday, November 8, Solidaridad - the Vox union - has called for a new protest, which has not been communicated either.

Attendees have chanted such as "Spain is not for sale, Spain defends itself", "Sánchez to prison" and "Puigdemont to prison" or "Let Txapote vote for you".

Some also chanted Franco's name and sang Cara al Sol or proclamations such as "I am a Nazi." Among the banners and slogans one could read "The Constitution destroys your nation", as well as reproaches for the attitude of the security agents with slogans such as "the Police want amnesty" or "I would be ashamed to be a police officer." Another of the recurring messages is directed against King Felipe VI.

Among those attending Tuesday's demonstration was the leader of the neo-Nazi group Bastión Frontal, Isabel Medina Peralta, who climbed with another boy to the roof of a tobacco kiosk giving the Nazi salute and carrying a flag with the Burgundian cross. Police sources have confirmed that she is not among those arrested yesterday.

The gathering on Tuesday, which led to a march by the protesters towards Gran Vía and the Congress of Deputies, was also joined by the leader of Desokupa, Daniel Esteve, among others.
