Several hundred people demonstrate in Madrid against “fascism”
Several hundred people demonstrated this Sunday in the center of Madrid, under the slogan All Columbus against fascism, coinciding with the convention organized by Vox Europa Viva 24, which brings together international leaders of the extreme right in Madrid.
This demonstration has been called by different social entities after it was learned that Madrid would bring together political representatives this weekend such as the president of the Argentine Republic, Javier Milei; Israel’s Minister of Diaspora Affairs, Amichai Chikli; or the deputy of the National Assembly of France and candidate for the presidency of the Republic, Marine Le Pen, among others.
As a protest, the demonstration, which took place between Plaza de Colón and Nuevos Ministerios, included the participation of Franek Broda, a prominent activist in the LGBTIQ+ community and nephew of former Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, who has also gone to Europe. He lives 24. “My uncle is in Vistalegre and I am here to tell him and his friends on the extreme right that we are going to beat them in the European elections on June 9,” Broda highlighted.
The event was attended by Podemos’s candidate for the European elections, Irene Montero, and the party’s spokesperson Isa Serra. “It deeply saddens me and I find it shameful that the misgivings of the big Spanish business community have remained in the same place as women, that is, nowhere,” Montero highlighted.
“I think that none of these companies should, after 8M or LGTBI pride day, put on a purple ribbon or a collective flag, because in the end what they are doing is washing the face of Milei, not just a sinister character, but rather a character who does not believe in social justice or feminist rights or LGTBI rights,” added the candidate for the European elections.
“When we knew that the best of each house was coming, the best of the ultra movements on the planet, we decided to start organizing ourselves and this call has been growing almost organically,” explained, for her part, Patricia Martín, Avaaz campaigns director. , an American organization that defends civil rights, in addition to highlighting the importance of the European elections.
