Just as in France, Spain has a real problem when it comes to far-left violence.<\/p>\n
This week we have seen, once again, the lengths to which such violence can go: a violent act of harassment against a democratic political party in La Coru\u00f1a<\/a>, which resulted in stones being thrown, punches being thrown, and twelve police officers injured<\/a>. This was not a street brawl. It was not an altercation where it would be difficult to determine who was at fault. The far-left went to La Coru\u00f1a to attack members of Vox and the police<\/strong>, yet some media outlets pretend to ignore what we have all had the opportunity to see.<\/p>\n To be fair, there are media outlets that have done their job\u2014which consists of telling the truth, rather than hiding or disguising it. ABC ran the headline: \"Left-wing radicals attempt to disrupt Abascal\u2019s rally in A Coru\u00f1a.\"<\/em><\/a> This is exactly what happened, and the text clearly identifies the aggressors. Libertad Digital noted: \"Police charge against BNG youth members who threw cobblestones and firecrackers at a Vox event in La Coru\u00f1a.\"<\/em><\/a> The report confirms the presence of the youth wing of that far-left party at a counter-protest that ended with attacks on the police. Vozp\u00f3puli reported: \"The radical left tests the waters for the November 11th general strike by stoking unrest on the streets of La Coru\u00f1a.\"<\/em><\/a> The headline refers to the serious disturbances incited by the far left on the streets of that city, which continued into the night.<\/p>\n However, there are media outlets for which the far left is like an invisible man<\/b>\u2014someone who carries out actions without them being able to identify who is responsible for those acts. Let\u2019s look at a few examples:<\/p>\n The manipulations we have just seen are not an isolated occurrence; they are repeated in every attack by the far-left against Vox.<\/strong> They seek to create the impression among the audience that Vox\u2014a party that is, in fact, a target of such violence\u2014is actually responsible for it, while simultaneously obscuring the far-left militancy of the perpetrators<\/strong> \u2014as if it were somehow unidentifiable, despite being a matter of public, well-known fact. Would we see headlines like these if the perpetrators had been far-right extremists?<\/strong> In such a case, would these same media outlets display that peculiar inability to identify the ideology of the aggressors?<\/p>\n This lack of journalistic ethics is akin to playing with fire.<\/strong> Such manipulations serve to whitewash far-left violence and demonize its victims\u2014simply because the victims\u2019 ideology does not align with the editorial stance of these media outlets. What will happen if, one day, those left-wing extremists attack these media outlets or their journalists?<\/b> Let us recall\u2014in case anyone has forgotten\u2014that a year ago, left-wing extremists linked to those who were present in La Coru\u00f1a<\/a> brutally beat a journalist from El Espa\u00f1ol in Pamplona<\/a>. Many media outlets did not even report on this assault, demonstrating a curious sense of professional solidarity.<\/p>\n In a democratic society, violence for political ends must always be rejected<\/strong>, regardless of its source or the political or ideological pretext that those who use violence might invoke to justify their actions. Whenever certain media outlets downplay or cover up far-left violence<\/strong>, as seen this week in the violent act of harassment directed at the party Vox in La Coru\u00f1a, they are undermining our democracy and aiding those who resort to violence<\/strong>. Such behavior is highly objectionable and deserves the most unequivocal condemnation, regardless of any veneer of respectability that these media outlets may attempt to project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Just as in France, Spain has a real problem when it comes to far-left violence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[11415,10720],"tags":[106,1083,101,100,6198,10497,1805,6527,664,2510,109,11462,7535,4621],"class_list":["post-67959","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-1-plana-english","category-communication","tag-abc","tag-agencia-efe","tag-el-mundo","tag-el-pais","tag-eldiario-es","tag-far-left","tag-galicia","tag-ignacio-escolar","tag-la-coruna","tag-la-voz-de-galicia","tag-libertad-digital","tag-spain","tag-vox","tag-vozpopuli"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-10-30 20:18:42","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67959","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=67959"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67959\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=67959"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=67959"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=67959"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
