A FAR-RIGHT group calling itself the National Nucleus Association is being investigated by the Guardia Civil for posting a social media video calling on foreign migrants to be repelled.
The elDiario.es news platform says a report will be sent to the Hate Crimes Prosecutor’s Office to see if a criminal offence has been committed relating to the content.
The material published via the ‘X’ platform on Sunday calls for associations to an ‘active defence’ of the streets and ‘a joint fight against the invasion’.

The video states: “We want to propose a project with all the organisations that are concerned about security in our country and organise something to start actively defending our streets.”
It continued:”We don’t care who you are. Hooligans, country people, posh, skin heads, tall, handsome, ugly or whatever the f–k you want.”
“Why the hell is so much muscle and so much tattoo worth if we don’t do what needs to be done.”
The footage shows a group of hooded men wearing shirts with the name and logo of National Nucleus.
The group gained prominence last year during protests outside the socialist PSOE HQ in Madrid which sparked some rioting.
It was officially registered as an association and has its base in Valladolid.
The video also refers to the situation in the town of Salt in Catalunya with comments about an iman and his ‘criminal brothers taking over a city by force without anyone resisting them’.
The footage ends with some nationalist slogans and a fascist salute.
Meanwhile a member of the neo-Nazi organisation Bastion Frontal, Isabel Medina Peralta, is due to go on trial on Thursday for fomenting hatred against Moroccans and Muslims in a demonstration four years ago.
Prosecutors want the 22-year-old jailed for three-and-a-half years and fined €3,240 for a speech she gave outside the Moroccan Embassy in Madrid in May 2021.
She has denied being the Bastion Frontal leader and categorised the organisation as a ‘a group of friends’ that formed after the Covid pandemic.
The police said that a hate crime occurred which incited violence.
The protest was publicised on social media with phrases stating that Morocco was a terrorist state and that the ‘migrant invasion’ should be stopped.
It was suggested that 20,000 Moroccans were set to ‘invade’ Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta.
