Around 200 people gathered Sunday in front of the Consolat de Mar in Palma to reject a meeting by Núcleo Nacional at the Franco-era Sa Feixina monument, which drew about 20 participants.
The demonstration, organized by the Coordinadora Antifeixista de Mallorca, proceeded peacefully under police watch. Participants carried republican and Palestinian flags and chanted slogans such as “Fora feixistes dels nostres barris” and “Mallorca serà la tomba del feixisme”.
Politicians from MÉS and Unidas Podemos, including Vicenç Vidal and Lucía Muñoz, joined the protest. Organizers accused the PP and Vox of repealing democratic memory laws and of granting heritage protection to the monolith hours after its inclusion in the state census of elements contrary to Democratic Memory.
Núcleo Nacional held its event under the motto “Gloria a los Héroes” to defend the monument, inaugurated by Franco and dedicated to the Baleares cruiser that took part in the civilian bombing during La Desbandá. A spokesman read a manifesto praising values of honor and discipline.
