GIRONA

Activists try to block far-right event

A group of anti-fas­cist pro­tes­tors at­tempted to pre­vent an event or­gan­ised in Girona last night, by Bor­bo­nia, Vox, the Par­tido Pop­u­lar and the Plataforma per Catalunya (PxC), in­tended to cel­e­brate 40 years of the Span­ish Con­sti­tu­tion. Ac­cord­ing to the col­lec­tive Doc­tors for the Re­pub­lic, 15 Cata­lan Po­lice of­fi­cers and 3 demon­stra­tors re­quired med­ical at­ten­tion. The first al­ter­ca­tion took place at 9:30am, when the anti-fas­cists at­tempted to dis­man­tle the bar­ri­cades set up to con­tain far-right at­ten­dees dur­ing their event later in the day. The event was able to go ahead, with rep­re­sen­ta­tives from these far-right, sex­ist and openly racist groups chant­ing “Puigde­mont to prison” and prais­ing “com­man­dos” who re­move yel­low sol­i­dar­ity rib­bons from pub­lic spaces. CUP coun­cil­lor Lluc Sal­le­las lamented the fact that “Mossos end up hav­ing to de­fend the ex­treme right, and fas­cists”.
