The anti-fascist group Mallorca has gone to La Feixina to disinfect it after the demonstration by Núcleo Nacional this Sunday. On their social media they made a publication where members of the group are seen dressed in PPE and with mops and disinfectant elements to clean the area where the ultra group demonstrated. A demonstration that was a total failure, since, in fact, there were more journalists covering the event than people demonstrating.

The monolith of La Feixina in Palma appeared this Saturday with several anti-fascist graffiti, amid controversy over the call for a rally planned for this Sunday, May 24. On the facade of the monolith, the messages 'Racism, fascism neither now nor ever' and 'Never again' can be read, accompanied by an anarchist symbol.

The first victims of the July 1936 coup were not civilians, but military personnel who refused to support their fellow rebels. Among them were two men from Mallorca, Pau Ferrer Madariaga and Josep Rotger Canals. Information is only available about the former. Born in Inca in 1896, Ferrer entered the Salamanca Military Academy at the age of 16 and in 1916 was assigned to Melilla, which had been part of the Spanish protectorate of Morocco since 1912. In 1936, the man from Inca was commander of the Ceuta Light Infantry Battalion. He closely followed the new course that the Second Republic took in February with the victory of the Popular Front. In Madrid, tensions began to rise on July 13 with the assassination of the monarchist deputy José Calvo Sotelo. Former Minister of Finance during the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera (1923-1930), Calvo Sotelo was one of the most combative right-wing leaders against the new government of Manuel Azaña. He was assassinated in revenge for the death the day before of Lieutenant José del Castillo, a well-known socialist, at the hands of far-right gunmen. Four days later, everything exploded.
