Spanish authorities have dismantled a neo-Nazi cell linked to the transnational extremist group "The Base", which has been designated as a terrorist organisation by several countries including the European Union, Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
According to a statement released by Spanish police, the group's network is characterised by its decentralised structure, with paramilitary cells operating independently across an international framework. This setup, authorities claim, is designed to facilitate the planning and execution of attacks as well as preparation for a hypothetical "race war".
The Base movement was founded in the US and has been gaining notoriety worldwide due to its radical ideology and purported plans for violent action. The dismantling of this cell marks another significant development in efforts to counter global extremist groups.
Spanish authorities have taken decisive action against the neo-Nazi group, but international cooperation will be essential in stemming the spread of such ideologies and preventing future attacks.
