Vandalism incidents reported in Ciudad Real and Ciutadella

The PSOE headquarters in Ciudad Real, Spain, has been targeted in a new act of vandalism. The attack left broken windows and red graffiti on the facade, including the word “asesinos” and a fascist symbol. Sara Martínez, the local PSOE general secretary, confirmed that a formal complaint has been filed, attributing the incident to extreme political polarization and hatred. This follows a pattern of similar attacks on the location, including incidents in May 2024 and previous reports of insults and fascist imagery.

In Ciutadella, Menorca, at least fifteen offensive graffiti markings were discovered on facades in the historic center following Halloween celebrations. Local authorities and the National Police stated that no special police reinforcements were deployed for the night. While the Ciutadella Vella association had previously requested increased police presence, the mayor noted that night shifts are currently at minimum capacity. Officials clarified that there were no prior threats or specific requests for extra security that would have triggered a special deployment.
