The manifestation, described as transversal, will be next Saturday 23 and under the slogan “Stop Vox”.

200 entities will manifest Barcelona on Saturday, called by the platform Unitat against the racisme i feixisme against Vox, which they see as the current exponent of racism and xenophobia in Spain. The manifestation, described as transversal, will be next Saturday 23 and under the slogan “Stop Vox”.

The march, scheduled for 17:00 on Saturday 23 March, starting from the Jardinets de Gràcia, will drop by Passeig de Gràcia to the confluence with the Gran Vía, where various interventions will be made and there will be a musical performance.

At a press conference Monday, the member Unitat against feixisme i el racisme David Karvala explained that this is a worldwide protest played in several cities in Spain and countries which have decided to focus the demonstration in Vox because ” in the Spanish state, the far right now has its name and surnames, it is not something abstract “.

“Now we have to point out Vox, and this does not mean it’s the only problem. Pablo Casado (PP) I do not know what’s wrong, but eliminating Vox I think we eliminate the temptations of others, “he assured.

Karvala has linked the rise of Vox to an increase in racist, homophobic and sexist attacks: “The fascist bully people was once an isolated nutcase and now has a party with 10% of the vote and this gives grounds to commit aggression”.

So, he called to point out to members of Vox to end his success as happened with defending Platform for Catalonia (PXC): “In 2015 the city was eliminated them from all municipalities where they had strong groups. They went from 67 to 8 councilors and those who remained were not indicated. “

He also pointed out that the protests that will be played in several cities of the world will serve to condemn the recent massacre that took place in Christchurch (New Zealand) against the Muslim community.

The first deputy mayor of Barcelona, ​​Gerardo Pisarello, has attended the presentation; the deputies of ERC in the Congress Joan Tardà and in the Parlament Najat Driouech, and the councilor of the CUP in Barcelona Eulàlia Reguant, in addition to representatives of entities.

Among the member organizations, which up to this Monday are 195 “of all kinds from huge to the most local and grassroots,” include ERC, CUP, B-Comú, CC.OO. de Catalunya, CGT de Catalunya, Òmnium Cultural, the ANC, ICV and EUiA.

On the other hand, the youth organization of the Catalan pro-independence leftist Arran has called a counter-demonstration on March 30, the same day that Vox plans to demonstrate in Barcelona. The motto of the mobilization is “No pasarán”. The call summons the citizens to participate in the demonstration to face fascism in a “joint and organized.”
