It was nothing more than a procedure. Last August, while half of Spain was on vacation, the Home Office gave its approval to the registration of a new association with “civic-political” purposes. They were the hooded neo-Nazis of National Nucleusa group that proclaims “racial” defense and trains its members in combat techniques.
The xenophobic organization got your registration in it National Registry of Associations on August 8. According to that document, his address is on the lower left of number 10 Renedo Street in Valladolid.
As confirmed Publicat that same street number is the extreme right-wing venue El Alcázar, which has served as the headquarters of the xenophobic party National Democracy (DN). One of those responsible for that place is Enrique Lemus, an ultra who was part of DN and who is now among the founders of Núcleo Nacional.
The Ministry of the Interior allowed the registration of this group despite the fact that three months earlier the National Police had leaked to the newspaper ABC that existed an investigation into their activities, especially for his xenophobic and anti-Semitic speeches.
Interior approval
According to an information brochure from the Interior, the registration of an association in Spain is carried out “at the request of the interested parties”, who must provide the “founding act” with the “identifying data
of the promoters“, the election of the Board of Directors and the approval
of the Statutes.
The Ministry has a resolution period of three months to determine whether or not you accept the registration. “Once said period has elapsed without having notified express resolution, it may be understood
Dear request“he explains.
Likewise, the Ministry that directs Fernando Grande-Marlaska points out that a registration may be denied “when the entity does not meet the legal requirements” or is not included in the scope of application of Organic Law 1/2002, which precisely regulates the right of association.
According to this regulation that is still in force, “associations that pursue purposes or use means classified as a crime are illegal,” while “secret” entities are prohibited and those of a “paramilitary nature.”
The Ministry of the Interior also does not contemplate the registration of those entities that “do not have the nature of an association”, as well as in cases of “criminal illegality in its constitution or activity“None of this has been applied in the case of Núcleo Nacional, which today is registered as state level association with the number 628882.
“Don’t be afraid”
This far-right group was formally presented on April 14 – coinciding with the anniversary of the proclamation of the second Republic, a special date for the victims of Francoism – through an event held in Ardemans Space in Madrid, a store located on the first floor of number 66 Ardemans Street. On that same portal there is the headquarters of Spanish Falange of the JONS.
“Most of you come from different ideologies. Here there are possibly people who come from Francoist, Falangist ideas, some others will be national socialistsconservatives…”, said that day a hooded man who usually speaks at the group’s rallies.
The veteran far-right activist Carlos Pazwho regularly collaborates with the Falange, was one of the speakers without a hood at that first meeting. This individual was one of the ultras that recently participated in an event together with the ambassador of Iran, Reza Zabib, also held at Espacio Ardemans.
“You young people have had to risk everything. Don’t be afraid. If you think about it coldly, the most they can take from us is our lives“Paz told those attending the Núcleo Naconal meeting. “We understand that life does not consist of how many years we live, but how we live them. Better a year of the wolf than 100 of lamb,” he concluded.
Against democracy
In addition to its aesthetic penchant for covered faces, Núcleo Nacional displays a discourse marked by defense of the racial issue and launches harsh attacks against migrants. This Saturday they plan to concentrate in front of the PSOE headquarters on Ferraz Street, where they intend to revive the most violent protests against the Government.
“There is no democratic solution. There is no simple path,” the ultras stated in another video broadcast through social networks on the eve of an event they held last June in Valencia.
