Clashes Erupt in Spain: Tensions Rise Between Far-Right and Migrants in Torre Pacheco

Spanish police arrested 10 people following violent clashes between far-right groups and North African migrants in Torre Pacheco. The unrest began after an attack on an elderly man. Authorities attribute the violence to anti-immigration rhetoric from far-right groups. Local leaders urge peace amid escalating tensions.

Spanish authorities detained 10 individuals following three nights of violence between far-right factions and North African migrants in Torre Pacheco, a southeastern town.

This unrest, among Spain's worst in recent years, was sparked by an assault on an elderly man last week, prompting retaliatory clashes.

Officials attribute the violence to anti-immigration sentiments stirred by political groups such as Vox. Local leaders and community members are urging peace and refraining from further confrontation.
