The Spanish authorities launched a call to calm on Sunday in the city of Torre Pacheco, near Murcia (southeast), where a second consecutive night of anti -immigrant disturbances took place after the assault of a retired by three young people currently looking for the police.
“Torre Pacheco must recover normality (…) I understand frustration, but nothing justifies violence,” he wrote in a message on the social network X, the conservative president of the Region of Murcia, Fernando López Miras, ensuring that the aggression suffered by this retreat did not remain “unpunished.”
A call to “tranquility”
“I call the inhabitants in peace, to tranquility,” he insisted on public television, the mayor of the city, Pedro Angel Roca Ternel, also a member of the Popular Party (PP, conservative), calling not to confuse the “criminals” with the entire immigrant population, which came “to work.”
These calls arise while Torre Pacheco, a city of 36,000 inhabitants located on the Mediterranean side, experienced a second consecutive night on Saturday night to Sunday, with clashes that were injured several, according to the Prefecture.
According to Daily, the opinion of Murcia, several groups of people have traveled the streets of the city with sticks in search of people of foreign origin, despite the deployment of an important police device. At least one person was arrested, according to the prefecture.
These clashes occurred after the violent assault on the street on Wednesday at Dawn, a 68 -year -old resident. This retiree, called Domingo, told the Spanish media, with a swollen face, to have been attacked by three young people of origin in North Africa for no apparent reason.
A “hunt” for people of origin in North Africa
This assault, filmed and whose video was published on social networks, led the City Council to organize a demonstration on Friday afternoon. This demonstration, which wanted to be peaceful, degenerated due to the presence of extreme right groups that have disseminated anti -immigrant slogans, according to the authorities.
One of them, baptized, “sport now” (“Tomal them now”) asked Telegram to a “hunt” for people of origin in North Africa. “If the other Maghreb in the city do not collaborate in the identification of the culprits, they will be automatically guilty and will have to pay,” he wrote.
In a message on the social network of Bluesky, the Minister of Youth Setha Rego, member of the Left Lefta party, “firmly condemned the racist persecution against migrants in Torre Pacheco”, describing the role of “ultra right” in these disturbances.
