Irene Montero, a Member of the European Parliament from the Spanish political party Podemos, has filed a report with the National Police regarding receiving death threats made by a neo-Nazi group. These threats were reportedly communicated in recent days and included alarming details such as the identification of her home address, where she lives with her young children and partner, Pablo Iglesias. This has raised significant concern for her safety and that of her family.

In response to the threats, Montero has urgently requested that the Spanish Interior Ministry take necessary measures to ensure her family's protection. Officials from the ministry have confirmed that they are assessing the risk level associated with her situation and are considering the protective measures that could be implemented. The decision to seek protection appears to stem from the heightened tensions surrounding recent events, including protests that took place for International Women's Day (8-M) in Madrid.

This incident highlights the growing issue of violence and threats faced by public figures, particularly women, in Spain. Montero emphasized that the threats she received are reflective of broader societal issues regarding misogyny and anti-feminism in the public sphere. As the investigation unfolds, it underscores the critical need for increased protective measures for politicians and activists who find themselves at risk due to their advocacy work, especially those challenging far-right ideologies.
