In Murcia, Spain, a weekend of clashes and tension erupted following the alleged assault of an elderly man by young North African immigrants.
The incident was captured in videos circulating on social media. In fact, groups were organized both online and in the town itself to combat the immigrants.
The Bishop of Cartagena, José Manuel Lorca Planes, condemned the incident. He highlighted the work of the local Church and condemned the violence.
We know that violence never fixes anything or provides a solution; on the contrary, it creates unrest, especially in a town that has always been known for providing jobs, for coexistence, and for integration.
The local authorities and the religious community are calling for peace. The area seeks to restore coexistence. The call is clear: no violence.
