AI-generated summary
Why It Matters
The incident occurs during the celebration of the National Holiday in Madrid, coinciding with previous protests over the housing crisis.
A group of people carrying Spanish flags and Burgundy crosses, moved from the parade of the Armed Forces for the National Holiday to Puerta del Sol, is causing moments of tension with those camped in protest of the housing.
The Police have requested reinforcements, so several vans have moved to the vicinity of the square to establish a police cordon between both groups to avoid a direct confrontation. The Police are now working to lead the protesters away from the environs of the camp.
On the side of the camp, a group of people, with their faces covered, applauded and shouted "here are the anti-fascists." Both groups have exchanged shouts and gestures with the police officers involved. As can be seen, many young people make up the group that has approached from the parade, carrying flags of Spain, the Falange and Burgundian crosses. Some of them have carried out fascist salutes.
