Demonstrations have also occurred, such as a Day of Hispanity event in Barcelona involving members of Vox, Partido Popular, and the neo-Nazi group Núcleo Nacional. Approximately 1,700 participants engaged in chants against immigrants and Muslims, displayed banners regarding ‘remigration’, and sang songs honoring the Francisco Franco dictatorship. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-12: Vox and far-right groups hold demonstration in Barcelona Far-right Vox and PP supporters, including neo-Nazis, held a protest in Barcelona.
