Police charge against a group of protesters who wanted to "take La Moncloa"

On Friday night, the National Police attacked a group of protesters, mostly young people linked to far-right organizations, who were calling for a "takeover of La Moncloa" and who had participated in the march to the PSOE headquarters in Ferraz organized by Vox in Madrid to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.

The youths ran from the vicinity of Ferraz Street toward Parque del Oeste, where they were intercepted by riot police, where police charged. Along the way, street furniture was destroyed and objects were thrown at police officers, who had to charge and use riot gear to contain the protesters.

The incidents occurred after the march called by Vox, in which, according to data from the Government Delegation, around 3,000 people participated, demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. Santiago Abascal requested the support of two deputies from other groups to present a motion of censure.

Vox leader Santiago Abascal led this demonstration, where he was greeted with shouts of "president" and some attendees, many of them very young, sang "Cara al sol" with one arm raised.

Vox called the march

Following a banner reading "Everyone to jail," Abascal and other party leaders, such as José Antonio Fúster and Jorge Buxadé, began the march just after 9 p.m. near the Moncloa interchange in the capital.

The protesters marched toward the PSOE headquarters in Ferraz, chanting slogans such as "Pedro Sánchez, go to prison!", "He's not a president, he's a criminal!", and "It's not a headquarters, it's a brothel!", along with chants of "Long live Spain!" and "Long live the Civil Guard!"

Amid a sea of ​​Spanish flags (some pre-constitutional) and symbols like the Cross of Burgundy, some protesters carried banners with photos of the former PSOE Organization Secretary, Santos Cerdán, dressed as a pig.

Some of them participated in the march wearing hoods, and around twenty protesters were removed from the march by the police, who blocked traffic on Ferraz Street.

This protest comes after the publication of the UCO report implicating Cerdán in the management of commissions in public works contracts awarded to former minister José Luis Ábalos and his former advisor Koldo García.
