On Sunday, October 11, Ruben Pulido, secretary of communication for the VOX political party in Andalucia, Spain, was attacked by two men described as North Africans outside his home and severely beaten. Pulido had been receiving threats for months as a result of his reportage on illegal migration and the problems it was causing for Spain. VOX is a conservative political party in Spain that opposes unregulated immigration and calls for the borders to be secured.

We have prepared three videos with English sub-titles. They are also contained in a more comprehensive report by RAIR Foundation (for whom these videos were translated), regarding the background of Pulido's activities which led to the attack.

The video below is Jorge Buxade of the VOX party expressing his outrage at the incident.

 

The next video is from the program, El Gato al Agua and features a telephone interview with Pulido by host Jose Javier Esparza. 

  The below video is a Spanish news report on the incident combined with a portion of Buxade's statement above.
