January 1, 1970.
A 24-year-old man was partying with some friends at a nightclub on Riazor beach, A Coruña, when, upon leaving the venue, he was attacked with homophobic insults by a group of people, who chased and brutally attacked him, calling him a ‘shitty faggot’, causing his death. The case occurred in the first days after the COVID-19 lockdowns, and sparked a debate on hate speech and homophobia. The far right tried to poison the debate with disinformation.
