More than 400 people participated this Tuesday, May 12, in Seville in the first event of the initiative 'Stop the far-right', promoted by FACUA-Consumidores en Acción. The meeting opened a campaign that the association will take during the coming weeks to different large cities.

The event featured the intervention of the general secretary of FACUA, the journalist Rubén Sánchez, alongside the jurist and anthropologist Javier Aroca, the journalist Mercedes de Pablos and Pilar del Río, journalist, president of the José Saramago Foundation and of the association Action against Hate.

The meeting was organized with the collaboration of the Red de Activistas de Sevilla. Its spokesperson, Antonio Rodrigo Torrijos, former first deputy mayor of the city, opened the event together with the president of FACUA Sevilla, Rocío Algeciras.
