Spain Tightens Scrutiny on Far‑Right Groups After Migrant Clashes.
Spain’s government today announced intensified investigations into far-right organizations after several nights of violent clashes between these groups and African migrants. Interior Minister revealed plans to allocate additional resources for surveillance and possible prosecutions.
A wave of unrest in suburban areas, fueled by nationalist demonstrations, escalated into confrontations involving stones, Molotov cocktails, and vandalism. Authorities described the unrest as the worst in years.
Police presence has been increased in hotspots, with efforts to apprehend extremist protestors. Supporters of migrants have also mobilized, condemning the violence and calling for stronger anti-hate legislation.
The European Commission is monitoring the situation closely, and Spain may receive support from EU agencies to help curb rising hate crimes. The incident poses fresh questions about integration and political polarization in Europe.
