A few months ago, almost without making a sound —and that should already make you suspicious— a neo-Nazi cell was dismantled in Spain. Three detainees, weapons, training, and attack plans inspired by real massacres. Furthermore, they weren't acting alone: they were connected to an international terrorist network. But well, it seems like a small thing, as the news went largely unnoticed. Perhaps because it doesn't fit with this comfortable narrative we keep telling ourselves. You know, the one that says violence always comes from outside, or that it's a thing of the past. Because, how many times have we heard that the dangers are jihadist terrorism or the environment of the defunct ETA, or –even better– that nothing is happening and we live in a kind of peaceful paradise?... A homemade version of Brave New World, by Huxley.The dismantled group in question has been defined as "accelerationist." The name seems complicated, but the idea is quite simple: to provoke chaos so that everything explodes and, once the system is broken, impose their own. And their model is not exactly inclusive: it is a racist, neoliberal, and authoritarian world. All very sophisticated on paper… and very dangerous in practice.And no, we are not talking about four people making comments on the internet or discussing in the bar. We are talking about connected people, with very clear ideas and with the will to make them a reality. People who see in social unrest and the rise of certain political discourses an opportunity. And this is no longer a joke.Violence is never justified. But to understand these small groups, perhaps we need to look at the context. Crises have been accumulating for years: economic, social, climatic. And in this framework, working classes have it increasingly difficult, and many people simply cannot make ends meet. Meanwhile, politics often seems more focused on managing the present than on building any future. And on a global scale, the panorama doesn't help either: an increasingly violent world, with powers like the United States, Russia, and Israel playing at showing strength in conflicts that many of us wouldn't even know how to place on the map.In this scenario, the result is predictable: frustration, uncertainty, and little hope. And when this happens, simple discourses gain ground. Those that offer easy explanations and even easier culprits. And, curiously, they almost always point to the same people: the most vulnerable. It is much more comfortable to say that "the problem is outsiders" than to analyze what is really wrong. Besides, acting brave by saying "uncomfortable truths" is successful. And so, little by little, a climate that fuels hatred is normalized.This process is subtle. Thus, what previously seemed exaggerated is now discussed. And what is discussed today may end up being normal tomorrow. Without major scandals, without obvious ruptures. Everything shifts a little. And it doesn't move on its own: there are those who push it, from certain media to certain powers that be. Faced with this, the question is inevitable: who benefits from all this?Because, generated according to certain breeding grounds, it is not surprising that some take a further step. They are not the majority, but they are not isolated cases either. Let's be clear that it is increasingly common for these discourses to end in real aggressions. The data confirm this, racist and xenophobic violence is increasing. And there are figures that are particularly striking: according to the Ministry of the Interior, approximately half of homosexual people have suffered some aggression in the last year. Half. It is not an exaggeration, it is a reality.In fact, alarms have been sounding for some time. In the United States, the FBI itself has already warned that far-right violent groups are one of the main internal threats. In Europe, the numbers may seem calmer. Europol's TE-SAT report says that in 2023 there were 120 terrorist actions, mostly of a separatist nature. Far-right ones? Only two, and they were thwarted. Case closed, right? Well, not exactly. Because the same report explains –perhaps with fewer headlines– that the problem is not so much the quantity as the type. It talks about lone wolves, small groups, young people who not only consume propaganda but create it and, sometimes, act. It is a more diffuse model, more difficult to detect and prevent. Less classical structure, more improvised radicalization. And what is more serious: it is a violence that is increasing. But yes, relax, there were only two.Faced with all this, the conclusion is clear: democracy is not guaranteed. It is not a permanent state, but a fragile balance. If we stop questioning certain discourses or attitudes, we end up accepting them without realizing it. And when this happens, the door can be opened to barbarism.All of this recalls that poem by Martin Niemöller which ends by saying: "When they came for me, there was no one left to protest." Perhaps we don't need to wait to see if it also affects us to start worrying. Let's think about it twice.

"Only Vox can clean up what's there"Vox will clean house." Thus, quite naturally, employing two languages ​​within the same sentence—one to satisfy the loose ends coming from Palma and the other to remind himself a little of the one he speaks every day—Esteve Sureda, spokesperson for the far-right party in Manacor, referred to the municipality's need for cleanliness. He wasn't talking, however, about papers, trash, overflowing containers, or abandoned street furniture. He was talking about people. In any case, the conflict, the problem, and the row are theirs, those who made the video recalling "our customs" and "our godfathers" without hesitation to speak a language they never spoke. What, for him, should be "Mallorcan identity"? The far-right's cynicism is outrageous. The alarms, however, are all going off because of racism and the The xenophobia of this party, which shamelessly replicates the dehumanizing patterns of 1930s Nazism, culminated, it must be remembered, in one of the most shameful episodes in human history: industrialization.

In recent weeks, one of the racist mantras of the European far right—often adopted even by some on the left, such as the British Labour Party—of defending "jobs for locals" has been reiterated by the highest authority in our region, President Prohens, in various contexts.

"7,300 immigrants arrived by boat in 2025, and the impact of this is that, in healthcare alone, 300 patients from Mallorca, Menorca, Formentera, and Ibiza are left without care every day because doctors refuse to treat these people who contribute nothing to the healthcare system." The Vox spokesperson in the Balearic Parliament, Manuela Cañadas, made these statements on January 29th. The issue here is that the far-right representative lied, because no one is left without care by the Balearic healthcare system: not residents, not tourists, not migrants. In this report, we debunk one of Vox's lies, although the party uses many others.

Several streets in Inca appeared this Monday plastered with xenophobic propaganda. The posters bore the message: "Against their submission, 'remigration.' The Inca that refuses to die." According to Podemos Inca, these posters, whose authorship is still unknown, "explicitly target and stigmatize the Muslim community and promote a discourse of exclusion and hatred." The party will file a formal complaint with the Inca duty court so that these acts can be investigated and any potential criminal liability for incitement to hatred determined. They are also requesting that the Inca City Council immediately remove these posters and refer the case to the appropriate authorities for investigation.

He shipwreck of a boat in Portopetro A few days ago, the tragic toll of twenty people injured and one dead. I want to emphasize the word "person" in the previous sentence. Not immigrants, not undocumented immigrants, not victims of the mafia: people, human beings. None of their lives is worth less than any of ours.

"I fell in love with Mallorca, not with the Mallorcans." Cati, a single woman who attended the program, put it bluntly. First Dates from Cuatro. During her appearance, she also expressed her opposition to the island's native language: "They've imposed Catalan, what do you want me to say?"
