The statement of the former president of the Parliament Balti Picornell, who had been summoned as investigated in the case promoted by Vox leader Jorge Campos, was suspended this Thursday in the Palma courts after his defense alleged defects in the notification of the procedure.

"Wanted for the destruction of Spain," "European lives matter," and "We export engineers, we import machete-wielding thugs" are slogans that can be seen on several streets in Mallorca, especially in Palma and Inca. They have been hung by members of the neo-fascist group Identitas. Thus, it's not just screens and social media; neo-fascism also occupies physical spaces in Mallorca. It's a limited, small space, but the presence of youth groups with neo-fascist ideology is growing, and they are also organized. Football stadiums are, and continue to be, one of their main points of socialization—historically linked to far-right ideologies—as well as some gyms, especially martial arts gyms, although in this case, their activity is more individualized and often under the supervision of sports federations. Explicit militancy, on the other hand, is more marginal.

The neo-fascist groups operating in the Balearic Islands today are few. But they are young, they are radical, and they are increasingly visible on the streets and online. They are not known for widespread violence, but rather for a growing capacity to recruit, organize, and normalize discourses that until recently were marginal. Precisely for this reason, we cannot underestimate them. History has taught us that movements of this kind do not grow suddenly, but rather take root slowly, taking advantage of indifference, trivialization, or looking the other way.
