The Plaça de Sant Roc in Sabadell was the scene of a tense gathering this Wednesday, featuring the People's Party and Vox in a protest initiated by the FEMP, alongside an anti-fascist counter-demonstration.

The mobilization, called for 8 PM in front of city halls nationwide, saw participation in Sabadell from parties like the People's Party and Vox. In response, the Anti-fascist Platform of Sabadell organized a counter-demonstration under the slogan ‘Fascism, racism not in Ceuta, not here, not anywhere’.
The atmosphere in Plaça de Sant Roc became tense due to the coexistence of the two demonstrations. Police presence was reinforced to keep the groups separated and prevent escalation.
During the gatherings, insults and tense moments were exchanged between attendees of the main demonstration and the anti-fascist counter-demonstration. A notable incident involved a plastic bottle being thrown, hitting an anti-fascist participant in the face.
