Red Cross vandalism in Ferrol, Spain
Overview
The Red Cross headquarters and vehicles in Ferrol, Spain, have been targeted by repeated acts of vandalism involving xenophobic and Nazi-related hate speech.
In late September, the headquarters and a vehicle were defaced with red graffiti containing insults such as ‘Traidores’, ‘ONG antiespañoles’, and ‘Mafia de la invasión’, which linked the attacks to the crisis in Ceuta. Local political leaders and opposition groups condemned the acts, with some describing the messages as fascist.
By early October, a subsequent attack occurred involving the breaking of a vehicle window and the painting of a swastika on a teleassistance van. This latest incident included similar xenophobic messages. Labor unions and political parties have since labeled these actions as hate crimes rather than simple vandalism, calling for a social response to combat rising fascism and organizing mobilizations to condemn the aggressions.
