THREE young immigrants who were beaten up in a vicious assault were targeted by masked attackers thought to be linked to a neo-Nazi group with ties to the Kremlin. The attack took place near a centre for unaccompanied foreign minors in Madrid’s Hortaleza district on September 1, following the arrest of a 17-year-old Moroccan migrant accused of raping a 14-year-old girl in a nearby park two nights earlier. A pair of hooded men assaulted two random minors and an accompanying adult who were staying in the centre, with one of the children requiring hospital treatment. The incident has reignited Spain’s simmering racial tensions, echoing July’s violent riots in Torre Pacheco where far-right groups exploited community anger after a 68-year-old man was beaten by North African youths. The Hortaleza attack was applauded by Nucleo Nacional, a newly-formed Spanish fascist organisation whose members are believed to have carried out the assault. (…) The group operates from plush new headquarters in Madrid’s upmarket Las Tablas commercial district, with rivals from across the political spectrum questioning where the money has come from for such expensive premises. The organisation’s leaders, notorious for hiding their identities and only appearing in public wearing balaclavas, were recently outed by Spotlight magazine as brothers Ivan and David Rico. (…) The group has direct ties to British Nazi circles through Isabel Peralta, European correspondent of the notorious Heritage and Destiny magazine. Peralta has spoken twice at H&D conferences which link together a disturbing international network of far-right extremists operating across Europe. The Italian connection runs deeper than many realise. Nucleo Nacional founder Enrique Lemus is a longtime ally of Roberto Fiore, who heads a Europe-wide network of fascist parties and was a key figure in Italy’s domestic terrorism campaign. The Lemus-Fiore relationship may explain another potential funding source for the group – the nefarious and destabilising hand of Moscow. The inaugural conference at Nucleo Nacional’s new headquarters featured Koldo Salazar Lopez, a 37-year-old Spaniard who serves as the Madrid ‘Ambassador’ for Vladimir Putin’s World Youth Festival. It was recently relaunched last year as part of a renewed propaganda thrust by Russia’s Federal Agency of Youth Affairs

siehe auch: UK-linked nazi group tries to start race war in Spain The new Spanish nazi group Núcleo Nacional, whose masked leader was exposed in a recent Searchlight article, has wasted no time before trying to start a race war on Madrid’s streets. They have close ties to British nazis via Isabel Peralta, the European correspondent of Heritage and Destiny, who has twice spoken at H&D conferences and is regularly promoted on its website. On Sunday night masked racists viciously assaulted three young immigrants near a centre for unaccompanied foreign minors (MENA) in the Hortaleza district of Madrid. Núcleo Nacional applauded the crime on its social media channels and it’s widely believed that the hooligans were its own members. Mystery money Rival far-right groups as well as anti-fascists have questioned where the money has come from for the new Núcleo Nacional Madrid headquarters in the upmarket commercial district of Las Tablas.
