In a recent book presentation in Madrid, Argentine journalist Luciana Peker, who is currently in exile, warned that Spain has become a crucial point in the global chess game of hate speech. She emphasized that the extreme right operates as a 'monster with tentacles' that connects and amplifies hostile narratives between Europe and America. Peker's remarks coincided with the release of her latest publication, 'La odiocracia: Al fondo a la derecha', which discusses the rise of intolerant ideologies.

Peker further elaborated on her concerns about political dynamics in Spain, referencing the involvement of prominent figures such as Isabel Díaz Ayuso, the President of the Madrid Community, in events that connect right-wing politics across continents. She indicated that Ayuso's participation in an event at Mar-a-Lago, the Florida residence of Donald Trump, signals a concerning trend of collaboration among far-right leaders from different nations that could serve to spread their hateful rhetoric.

Highlighting Spain’s current political environment, Peker stated that it now represents a 'new obsession' for far-right movements, particularly in relation to her home country of Argentina, where Javier Milei, a controversial president with similar ideologies, has recently assumed power. Peker's advocacy for a more critical approach to these dynamics is an urgent call to recognize and resist the mounting influence of hateful discourse in both Europe and South America.
