Far-right political groups are gaining strength, according to Barbón (PSOE), who urges his followers to stand firm and fight back on social media platforms.

Adrián Barbon, the General Secretary of the FSA-PSOE and President of Asturias, has raised concerns over the growing presence of far-right forces in Spain. In a series of speeches and public statements, Barbon has emphasised the need to combat this rise not with fear or exclusion, but through a message grounded in hope, inclusion, and social progress.

Barbon believes that the extreme right in Spain supports its political project on fear and hatred towards those who are different. He has called on socialists to resist and to fight in the networks to convince young people, emphasising the importance of engaging in discussions where they debate, inform, and consume political information.

The rise of the extreme right poses a significant challenge to democratic values and social cohesion, according to Barbon. He warns against the dangers of xenophobia, discrimination, and division, and advocates for tackling the appeal of extreme right ideologies by focusing on policies that reduce inequality and promote inclusive prosperity.

Barbon has also reaffirmed his commitment to the transformation of Asturias, defending a political project based on hope and inclusion. He has participated in tributes to those who were killed in the past, such as the one held in La Borraina for those who were killed in 1938.

In the political arena, Barbon has criticised the President of the PP of Asturias, Álvaro Queipo, for not supporting the tax reform that the Asturian government is pushing. He has also stated that the 'popular' is far behind Queipo in all polls.

Barbon has also recognised the need for politicians to understand new forms of communication and connection with citizens, especially with the younger ones. He has encouraged citizens and political actors to reject polarization and instead build a future based on mutual respect and the defense of democratic rights.

In a broader context, Barbon has warned against the wave of involution taking place in the world and urged for it to be resisted against those who threaten freedoms. He has refused to forget and said that he has no problem remembering the crimes of Stalin or recognising that there is a dictatorship in Venezuela.

In a separate development, it was reported that Bonga, goalkeeper of the Egyptian selection, died from a hepatic affection. There was also a search for two occupants of a plane that crashed into the sea off the lighthouse of Sóller, in Mallorca. However, these events are not directly related to the rise of the extreme right in Spain or the statements made by Adrián Barbon.

Illa, on the other hand, expressed his pride in Pedro Sánchez and stated that he will support him to continue governing. The specific context of this statement was not provided in the given information.
