Riots Erupt in Bilbao, Spain: Cars Set on Fire
Basque authorities said seven minors were among those detained after masked youths set fires, looted shops and built barricades during the unrest.
- On Monday, masked rioters clashed with police in Bilbao, setting fires and looting shops during an anti-fascist protest against far-right agitator Vito Quiles, turning the Deusto district into a battleground.
- Thousands demonstrated peacefully against Vito Quiles near Deusto University earlier Monday, but his event cancellation did not prevent unrest; police identified a coordinated group of 20-30 masked youths whose tactical destruction suggested organization.
- Rioters torched a municipal police motorbike and attempted to storm an Ertzaintza station; Basque security councillor Bingen Zupiria reported "around 20" arrests, including many minors, and branded the violence "unacceptable."
- The mayor stated the events were "not anti-fascism, but pure fascism," while Bildu spokespersons said "regrettable" incidents overshadowed the earlier "exemplary, peaceful and democratic public response" from students.
- Similar violent protests have erupted in France and Italy, reflecting broader youth-led unrest across Europe; authorities are monitoring fresh online calls for demonstrations in several Spanish cities scheduled for October 31.
