We will not take a single step back in defending Sant Cugat residents.", Marcos Rodríguez, Vox group spokesperson Santiago Abascal, national leader of Vox, also condemned the attack and pledged legal action. Vox Catalunya accused the Generalitat and Interior Department of tolerating violence against their members. ### Broader Concerns Over Political Safety The assault has reignited debate over the safety of political representatives during public engagements in Catalonia. Vox described the incident as part of a wider pattern of hostility its members have faced in recent years. While political violence is not new in Spain, confrontations at public party events have increased, particularly in politically divided regions. Previous incidents in Barcelona have also led to arrests and injuries, according to reporting from 2026\. Local authorities have not issued a public statement on the case. However, the swift response by emergency and police services highlights operational readiness, even as calls grow for stronger preventive measures to protect elected officials. --- *Primary sources:* [*govern.cat*](https://govern.cat/salapremsa/notes-premsa/670582/els-mossos-d-esquadra-desarticulen-un-grup-criminal-especialitzat-en-robatoris-amb-forca-a-domicilis-que-es-va-apoderar-d-un-boti-de-142000-euros?ref=barna.news)*,* [*santcugat.cat*](https://www.santcugat.cat/web/govern?ref=barna.news)*,* [*premsa.santcugat.cat*](https://premsa.santcugat.cat/seguretat-ciutadana/la-criminalitat-a-sant-cugat-baixa-gairebe-un-10-durant-el-2025/?ref=barna.news)*.
