The organization pointed out that the posters, displayed on municipal supports, feature texts linking mass immigration with insecurity, such as the phrase: “Are you afraid to walk home alone at night? Mass immigration has consequences.” These messages, according to FACUA, contravene both the Penal Code and the municipal ordinances of both cities.
The Ministry of Equality had already requested the State Attorney General's Office to remove these contents due to their “stigmatizing, racist, and potentially discriminatory” nature, by associating migrants with sexual assaults. FACUA has supported this request, urging authorities to clarify the facts and adopt appropriate legal measures, including the precautionary removal of the posters.
“"It is regrettable that the city councils of Granada and Almería, and the advertising management concessionaire company, have allowed and authorized the installation of this signage with a message that only incites hatred and stigmatizes migrants as a whole."
Granada's coexistence ordinance explicitly prohibits this type of advertising. Furthermore, the Penal Code establishes prison sentences and fines for those who publicly foster, promote, or incite hatred, hostility, discrimination, or violence against a group. In this context, FACUA Andalucía has demanded the immediate removal of the posters installed on municipal supports.
Meanwhile, the Association of Feminist Women of Granada has modified these posters on social media, changing the word “migrant” to “misogyny” and “only you pay the consequences” to “everyone,” to denounce the political party's use of gender violence, which they describe as “denialist.”
