Anti-Migrant Violence Erupts in Southern Spain Amidst Far-Right Tensions

A wave of anti-migrant unrest has gripped several towns in southern Spain, particularly in Torre Pacheco, following violent clashes between far-right groups and migrants. The violence was sparked by an attack on an elderly man, allegedly by migrants, leading to furious protests and riots. Authorities have arrested numerous individuals, with reports indicating that around fourteen have been detained following the confrontations. The Moroccan community in the area has called for calm, while local bishops and the Spanish Interior Minister have condemned the violence, attributing blame to far-right factions. Injuries have been reported, and police have been deployed to manage the ongoing unrest as tensions continue to rise.
