Tragedy pushes the far right into a spiral of brutality
Vox and other extremist groups take to social media and the streets to insult and criminalize the Government
Over 1,000 people gathered outside the Ministry of Transport in Madrid on Wednesday evening, called by the Falange party and Revuelta association, to protest an accident in Urda, Toledo. The protesters, including some with covered faces and wearing black, chanted slogans such as "Óscar Puente, assassin" and "Pedro Sánchez, son of a bitch".
The demonstration turned violent as police charged at the crowd after bengalas were thrown and the cordon was breached. Leaders of the groups, including Pedro Chaparro of Democracia Nacional and Pablo González of Revuelta, made speeches blaming the government for the accident and other recent disasters.
