Spanish far-right activists use Nazi-style salutes in anti-migrant protests
The protest group, Núcleo Nacional, has about 2,000 members, many from neo-Nazi and Francoist groups that lost their capacity to mobilize, according to the Global Network on Extremism and Technology.
A far-right Spanish group, Núcleo Nacional, staged a protest in Madrid on Wednesday, utilizing Nazi-style salutes and singing a fascist anthem. The demonstrations were organized in response to the influx of Moroccan migrants to Ceuta, a Spanish territory. Around 50,000 people took part in the broader protests, primarily called by the conservative People's Party and far-right Vox party.
The Núcleo Nacional group, composed of neo-Nazi and Francoist elements, claimed the salute was Iberian or Roman, not Nazi, and protested to support Ceuta's residents. Four individuals were arrested and four police officers sustained injuries during the clashes with law enforcement.
