Anti-Fascist Demonstrators Protect Housing Rights Camp in Valencia

• Thousands gathered in Valencia to protect a protest camp demanding housing rights from reported far-right threats.
• The anti-fascist defense, organized into security cordons, successfully deterred the small group of approximately 20 far-right participants.
• Authorities moved the far-right gathering to Plaza de la Reina to prevent direct confrontation with the housing protest.

Camp Status and Municipal Relations

• Approximately 500 tents remain in the City Hall Square; organizers are rearranging the space to accommodate the scheduled Civic Procession.
• The government of Maria José Català chose to cancel the traditional 'mascletá' fireworks display rather than relocate it.
• Protesters held a minute of silence to honor Maricarmen, a figure who has become a symbol for the housing movement.
