A FAR-RIGHT group has claimed responsibility for several anti-migrant and anti-separatist messages that have been sprayed on buildings in Murcia City. The youth wing of the Partido Democracia Nacional (DNJ) posted a montage of the pictures on Twitter. A message accompanying the vandalised walls defended it as ‘activism.’ ‘Nationalist activism in the capital of the region of Murcia. Not one step back!’ the tweet read. The slogans scrawled on the walls of the buildings included ones which said: ‘Refugees not welcome,’ ‘Death to separatist,’ ‘Immigration, insecurity’ and ‘Separatist parties, criminal gang.’
The graffiti comes as the group recently demonstrated at spots painted in the rainbow colours to mark the LGBTQ+ Pride Day in Cartagena. Pictures posted by the group on Twitter showed members standing next to benches, a plant pot and standing in the street brandishing a sign which read: Stop lobby LGBTI.’ A caption which accompanied the post read: ‘Today we go out to the streets to shout stop lobby LGBTI! The great welcome from the residents of Cartagena is easily enough to allow this lobby to destroy the traditional family. The nationalist youth in war!’ Comments on the post included

Greetings and much love that you need.’ The DNJ is a far right party which was founded in 1995. It takes an anti-globalisation stance and is opposed to the European Union, migration and ‘international capitalism,’ according to its manifesto. It is believed to have been modelled on France’s Front National Party and several political groups have previously branded it a Neonazi organisation. It won 0.01 per cent of the vote in Spain’s 2011 national election and holds a handful of council seats.
