Spain: Riot and Rocks at VOX Rally

 Hat tip RAIR Foundation, Vlad Tepes, and Gates of Vienna. Translation by Fousesquawk.


On April 7, 2021, the conservative VOX party of Spain held a campaign rally in the Madrid neighborhood of Vallecas. The speakers were local VOX candidate Rocio Monasterio and VOX party leader Santiago Abascal. There was a police presence, but they were unable to contain the anti-Vox crowd from showing up, throwing objects at the speaker and battling the police. 

The RAIR Foundation has the story including graphic photos and news videos of the event. Video translations (in Spanish)  by Fousesquawk. There is also a French news report translated by Miss Piggy.

Abascal lays the blame on Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska, and Podemos Party leader Pablo Iglesias for encouraging the mob and using police to restrict access to VOX events by their supporters. He was interviewed on April 8 by Antena 3. We are working on sub-titling an excerpt from that interview.



*Update: Here is a segment of the interview of Abascal on April 8 on Antena 3. Translation by Fousesquawk.
