A swastika and the words ‘f****ng reds’ have been sprayed on the facade of the PSOE’s office in Rincon de la Victoria.

The incident comes just five days after another office of the Socialists was vandalised in Velez-Malaga.

The latest graffiti was discovered on Saturday morning. The local PSOE branch condemned it as an attempt to intimidate party members and an attack on democratic values.

Antonio Sanchez, the branch’s secretary general, said the office was a place for democratic participation and that the vandalism would not change the party’s work in the town.

Five days earlier, the PSOE office in Velez-Malaga was daubed with an insult aimed at Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and a drawing of male genitalia beside the main entrance.

The town’s mayor, Jesus Maria Claros, of the conservative Partido Popular, condemned the vandalism and expressed solidarity with local Socialists.

He said he would condemn the same behaviour regardless of which party was targeted.

The PSOE in Rincon de la Victoria said: ‘Today, we discovered that our local party headquarters – our ‘Casa del Pueblo’ – had been defaced with Nazi symbols and hate-filled messages directed at those of us who are part of the PSOE in Rincón de la Victoria.

‘We wish to express our strongest condemnation of these actions. Intolerance, hatred, and threats have no place in a democratic society.

‘Our Casa del Pueblo is a space open to the public, a place for participation, coexistence, and the defence of democratic values.

‘No amount of graffiti will change what we stand for, nor will it alter our commitment to Rincon de la Victoria.

‘In the face of hatred: democracy. In the face of intolerance: coexistence. In the face of fascism: freedom.

‘We will not normalise this type of behaviour.’
