Spanish police have detained and subsequently expelled a conservative journalist who traveled to Torre Pacheco to report on recent street attacks allegedly carried out by groups of foreigners. Authorities have banned independent journalists from covering the situation on the ground, citing concerns over misinformation. Reports indicate that mainstream media have not been fully transparent about the events in Spain, leading to accusations of a cover-up. Additionally, there have been instances of Spanish patriots confronting and chasing away journalists perceived to be spreading false information about the incidents. Public demonstrations have included calls for truth in live broadcasts, reflecting heightened tensions surrounding the coverage of these attacks.
