Vox Complains Against the Government Delegate in Galicia for Allowing the Protest Against Abascal in A Coruña
Police said 5,000 anti-fascist demonstrators joined the unrest, while firefighters battled blazes and two protesters were arrested after the Vox rally.
- On Wednesday, October 21, 2026, clashes erupted in A Coruña between police and anti-fascist protesters demonstrating against a rally by Santiago Abascal, the president of Spain's far-right populist Vox party.
- Around 5,000 people gathered in Maria Pita square to protest Abascal's first pre-election event in Galicia, though Vox claimed they received a 'great welcome' in the plaza.
- Violent confrontations left more than a dozen people injured, including a journalist who required stitches after being struck by a stone, as rioters set bins ablaze and erected barricades across A Coruña.
- Mayor Inés Rey condemned the 'violent acts,' while police arrested two protesters as tensions persisted; the Galician Nationalist Bloc criticized the police response, demanding explanations from Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.
- This violence reflects wider European unrest, prompting Italy to deploy 500 army troops in Milan through the end of 2026, while local tensions remain high as demonstrators gathered outside the Government Sub-delegation.
