The assault of an elderly man by migrants led to the arrest of three Moroccans and calls for calm from the Moroccan community.

The violent incident in Torre Pacheco, where an elderly man was attacked by migrants, led to tensions and the arrest of three Moroccans, including the main suspect. Moroccan community leaders have called for calm, rejecting calls for violence and hunting of migrants. Authorities have mobilized more than 120 officers to prevent anti-immigrant protests, and investigations are targeting both the assault and hate messages. The Telegram app shut down an incitement channel and police detained a leader of an extremist group.
