La Spagna smantella una cellula terroristica di un gruppo neonazista che stava preparando attentati.

Three people belonging to the **“supremacist organization** ***The Base*****”**, which originated in the United States, have been arrested.

A terrorist cell linked to the neo-Nazi, paramilitary group *The Base*—which promotes violent actions aimed at creating chaos in democratic societies—has been dismantled in Spain, the Spanish police announced this Monday.

According to a statement released today, **“The National Police has dismantled the first terrorist cell of an ‘accelerationist’ nature ever detected in Spain,”** located in the province of Castellón (in the Valencian Community, eastern Spain).

**‘Accelerationism’** is an ideology associated with the far-right and white supremacist movements that calls for accelerating chaos to bring down the existing order through attacks.

In today’s operation, three individuals were arrested. They were part of the **“supremacist organization** ***The Base*****,”** founded in the United States in 2018, described as **“accelerationist”** and **classified as a terrorist group in the European Union, Canada, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand**, the statement said.

The three detainees are accused of **“belonging to a terrorist organization, recruitment, indoctrination, and training for terrorist purposes,”** as well as illegal possession of weapons.

In addition to the arrests, police seized nine firearms, ammunition, **“more than twenty bladed weapons,”** a **“full set of military tactical gear used in training activities,”** **“accelerationist and supremacist material and documents,”** propaganda from *The Base*, **neo-Nazi material**, and **documents praising other terrorist organizations**.

**“The leader of the Spanish cell was in direct contact with the founder of** ***The Base*****,”** an American believed by U.S. authorities to be in Russia. The Spanish police emphasized that **“one month ago he called for the consolidation of cells across several countries and for carrying out selective attacks aimed at collapsing Western democratic institutions.”**

According to the police, the three individuals arrested in Spain were **“highly radicalized, basing their lifestyle on the principles of the terrorist organization and on the willingness to carry out attacks.”** They had already conducted **“several tactical training sessions using paramilitary techniques and equipment.”**

Well done Spain. Though in the picture the text label mentions “Airsoft”. Was it a ruse by the neo-nazis or is the picture irrelevant to the topic?

They should make a movie about this in the style of the Four Lions…
