The Madrid protest was called by Nucleo Nacional, a far-right organization, with local media with social media videos showing protesters performing the Nazi salute.
Other protests called by socialist organizations were held in Valencia and Barcelona, with thousands attending to demand the resignation of Carlos Mazon, the president of the Valencian Community.
