Overview

• The Delegación del Gobierno in Madrid blocked a Vox-called gathering scheduled for 18:30 on Tuesday near the Centro de Primera Acogida de Hortaleza.
• Delegate Francisco Martín said the event targeted children at the facility, and the Policía Nacional classified the security risk as elevated.
• Vox presented the rally as an act of solidarity with the alleged victim and as a denunciation of what it calls illegal, massive and incompatible immigration.
• The immediate backdrop includes the reported rape of a girl by a 14-year-old resident, who was detained with court-ordered internment, and a subsequent reported attack on three migrant youths by hooded assailants.
• The PP’s parliamentary spokesperson emphasized the right to protest within legal limits without taking a clear position, and officials noted a similar demonstration at the same site was prohibited in May to protect minors.
