Neo-fascist activist Isabel Peralta caused a stir outside the Moroccan Embassy in Spain by performing a Nazi salute during a protest related to the migrant crisis in Ceuta. The gesture, met with applause from supporters, reignited controversy surrounding her repeated history of hate speech and public provocations.

Peralta, who has been linked to far-right organizations, stated that she was punished for warning the Spanish government that "Spain was being invaded." She questioned whether fines and prisons could stop what she described as the Spanish people's right "to exist." She issued a violent warning, suggesting that if the goal was to stop them, authorities should "start with bullets in the neck instead of wasting their time." She concluded by vowing, "we will not stop until Spain is Spain again."

Spain was being invaded

โ€” Isabel PeraltaPeralta's justification for her actions outside the Moroccan Embassy, claiming she was warning about immigration.

The 24-year-old activist has a track record of similar demonstrations at the same location. Her actions occurred amid renewed migratory pressure on Spain's southern border, a topic exploited by radical groups to organize rallies and spread xenophobic messages. Peralta was previously convicted in 2021 for inciting discrimination and hatred, with her statements deemed to denigrate Moroccan immigrants and incite hostility against them.

Judges rejected her defense's argument that her statements were political criticism of government migration policies. Instead, the court found her remarks exceeded freedom of expression by publicly promoting discrimination based on national origin and religion. The ruling highlighted Peralta's prominent role within Bastiรณn Frontal, a group described as a far-right organization.
