💨 Abstract

In Torre Pacheco, a quiet town in Murcia, Spain, recent xenophobic disturbances have sparked fear among its 41,000 residents. The unrest began after a 68-year-old man was attacked, triggering racist rhetoric and violence. The Spanish government has deployed security measures and arrested 13 individuals involved in the riots. Spanish Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska has condemned the ultra-right discourse linking immigration with crime, noting that migrants contribute positively to the economy.
