On March 8, during the feminist march in Madrid, which is part of the International Women's Day celebrations, ten members of the neo-Nazi group Núcleo Nacional were detained by the National Police. The arrests, which occurred around 3:00 PM, were made after these individuals disrupted the normal proceedings of the march. Police sources reported that one of the arrested individuals faced an additional charge for assaulting an officer, highlighting the tensions that arose during the protest.

The march, organized by the Commission of March 8, is an annual event that seeks to advocate for women's rights and gender equality. This year's event in Madrid gathered a large crowd who aimed to peacefully promote their message of empowerment. However, the actions of the neo-Nazi group not only undermined the objectives of the event but also raised concerns about the presence of extremist groups at what is supposed to be a peaceful and celebratory occasion. Social media accounts associated with Núcleo Nacional have confirmed the identity of their members among those detained.

This incident underscores ongoing societal challenges in Spain regarding the rise of far-right groups and their tendency to confront progressive movements. Such disturbances threaten the safety and integrity of public demonstrations, particularly ones focused on marginalized groups. The authorities' swift response in this case reflects a growing recognition of the need to address threats posed by extremist factions within the context of peaceful activism.
