Vox political event protest in Santiago

Overview

In Santiago de Compostela, over one thousand protesters, primarily young anti-fascist activists, blocked a Vox political event intended to launch the party’s territorial deployment in Galicia. Demonstrators occupied the Centro Sociocultural de Santa Marta and formed a human chain to prevent access, chanting “Fuera fascistas de nuestros centros” (Fascists out of our centers).

Vox leadership member Jorge Buxadé was unable to access the facility. Following the disruption, Buxadé attributed the boycott to the central government and the local mayor, while the party indicated intentions to pursue legal action. The incident has sparked debate regarding the line between democratic protest and censorship, specifically concerning the right to freedom of expression and democratic coexistence.
