Dozens of far-right activists from the group Núcleo Nacional participated in mass demonstrations in Madrid, protesting the government's handling of migration. They raised their arms in Nazi-style salutes and sang a Spanish fascist anthem.
The protests followed an influx of 72,000 migrants from Morocco into Ceuta, a Spanish territory in North Africa, in late July. According to the Jerusalem Post, between 60 and 70 members of Núcleo Nacional took part in the Madrid demonstrations.
The broader demonstrations in Madrid drew about 50,000 people to the streets, according to government estimates. They were called by Spain's conservative People's Party and far-right Vox party, and took place on Ceuta Day, a holiday marking the Portuguese conquest of Ceuta from the Marinid Sultanate of Morocco in the 15th century.
