The extreme right claims the attack on Pedro Sánchez in Paiporta

Those around the far-right association Revuelta have claimed responsibility for the attack with a stick on the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, during the official visit of the kings to Paiporta, one of the towns in the Horta Sud region most affected by the catastrophe. of the DANA. In addition, the Vox union has offered its legal services to those who kicked Sánchez's official vehicle.

Adrián Campos, who presents himself as a “volunteer” of a kind of Valencian delegation of Revuelta, commented in a WhatsApp group, to which elDiario.es has had access: “We from my association are here, we have destroyed their car, But we have only been able to hit him with a stick in the back.” “I don't know what happened next but he came out of our area alive,” he added.

The Police, as this newspaper has learned, are investigating these chats. This is the same far-right group that called for protests at the PSOE headquarters on Ferraz Street in Madrid last November. Revuelta is a youth brand promoted by Vox on the occasion of the protests in Ferraz.

Campos later assured, in a telephone conversation with this newspaper, that he was not in person in Paiporta (he claims that he remained in Benetússer), but that he knows several of the young people who were involved in the riots.

“Those from the association have agreed [con la comitiva oficial]”I'm not going to specify what they have done, but they have agreed with him and they have done things,” he says. “I do not belong to the association, I am a volunteer,” he specifies.

The extreme right networks have encouraged calls to boycott the institutional visit, giving addresses to Paiporta where they thought the kings and Pedro Sánchez were going to pass.

Almost twenty young people, wearing ultra clothing, have begun to throw mud at the official delegation from the corner of Mestre Palau and València streets in the town of Paiporta, as seen in videos and photographs. Other neighbors, apparently unrelated to the ultra group, have accompanied the young people who started the riots with shouts and throwing mud. From that moment on, chaos has been unleashed and the security system has been overwhelmed.

Among the young people who participated in the riots were individuals with tattoos from the ultra Mario Kempes tier, linked to the ultra Yomus group, or with clothing from the Blue Division and clothing brands common in neo-Nazi groups. Some of the rioters have given Nazi Roman arm salutes.

Regulars of the denialist extreme right networks, such as the hoax spreader Pilar Baselga, have also spoken out about the riots. Baselga has alluded on his Telegram channel to the presence of “hunters in that area” with “weapons at home.” “Thank goodness I wasn't there,” added Pilar Baselga. Javier Negre has also tweeted: “If it catches you nearby you already know”, in reference to the visit of the institutional delegation to the area. Specifically, Begoña Gómez, wife of Pedro Sánchez, filed a complaint against Baselga for linking her to drug trafficking and spreading the hoax that she was transsexual.

Adián Campos assures that he is a bullfighter and a student at the Bullfighting School of Valencia. The young man says that Revuelta has a “co-association” called “Joventuts Valentia”, whose members and volunteers are deployed on the ground providing help in localities affected by DANA.

Experts in far-right movements consulted by this newspaper assure that Joventuts Valentia is a youth group of Valentia Forum, based on San Juan Bosco street in the Orriols neighborhood of València. The same ultra group also participated in the protests in front of the PSPV-PSOE headquarters on Hospital de València street.

In fact, the Revuelta poster that requests material for the DANA victims precisely indicates the address of San Juan Bosco as the delivery location. Neighborhood residents protested in 2019 on the occasion of the opening of the store. The current vice mayor of Valencia, Juanma Badenas, gave a conference at the headquarters of the extreme right group in April 2023, in the middle of the pre-campaign for the municipal elections.

Adrián Campos affirms that the Valencian group associated with Revuelta has a hundred members and that the rioters had not been summoned to attack the official delegation but rather they have encountered the delegation formed by the kings, the president of the Government and the president Carlos Mazón while they were providing help in Paiporta.

Campos, who claims that he did not participate in the riots but was in Benetússer, another of the towns affected by the catastrophe, has offered to collect two “anonymous” testimonies from association volunteers who were in Paiporta during the riots.

“The one who arrived and fled like a dog was Pedro Sánchez, he did not even stop to speak, nor were we going to leave him,” indicate the anonymous testimonies provided by Adrián Campos.
