Murder In Spain
Signals Xenophobia

Madrid (JTA) — The recent
murder of a Dominican
woman in a Madrid suburb
has raised concern that the
wave of xenophobia rocking
Germany and other Euro-
pean countries has arrived
in Spain.
On Nov. 13, four hooded
men broke into an abandon-
ed discotheque which tens of
Dominicans had made into a
makeshift home. The at-
tackers shot Lucretia Perez
point-blank, killing her, and
also wounded a man.
Although police have
juggled with the theory that
her murder might be con-
nected with Dominican
gangs who smuggle workers
to Spain, most people tied
the incident to a rising
hatred of foreigners, some-
thing that seemed to be ex-
trinsic to Spain.
Politicians, including
Cabinet members, spoke out
immediately after the inci-
dent. Activists quickly
organized a series of demon-
strations of solidarity, which
culminated in a
12,000 strong march last
Saturday that included
representatives from
Madrid's Jewish commun-
ity.
The march was followed by
previously scheduled right-
wing demonstrations that
occur every year around
Nov. 20 to honor the memory
of Gen. Francisco Franco,
the late fascist leader.
Over the weekend, some
5,000 followers of the late
dictator gathered in front of
the Royal Palace to honor
Franco, who ruled Spain for

40 years until his death on
Nov. 20, 1975.
Over the years, Nazi
groups have converged here
from all over Europe because
Spain has no laws banning
Nazi or racist gatherings or4
symbols.
But CEDADE, the most
prominent neo-Nazi organ-
ization, chose to lie low this
year. Its leader, Pedro
Varela, is now in jail in
Austria awaiting trial for d
his activities there.
And another right-wing
group, the Falange
Espanola, expelled seven
members of the neo-Nazi
Free Workers Party from its
rally, which paid homage to
Franco and Jose Antonio 4
Primo de Rivera, the founder
of the Spanish Falangists.
The group said it did not
want to be identified with
hate groups or violence.
Spain has been considered
more tolerant toward for-
eigners. But it is also true_,
that the number of refugeel
and foreign workers here is_
relatively low compared to
England, Germany or
France.
Among a population of 45
million, there are 400,000
legal foreign residents, of 41
which some 250,000 are 4
citizens of European Corn-
munity countries.
In the past year, the
Spanish government has
tightened its borders. The
E.C. has described Spain as
a natural entry point for
North Africans and Latin
Americans, who then make
their way to other European
countries.
