The high temperatures, of about 40 degrees, did not prevent about a thousand people yesterday, according to data from the Government Delegation, from demonstrating at eight o'clock in the afternoon in the Puerta del Sol in defense of the group of lesbians, gays, transsexuals and bisexuals (LGTBI) and to protest the murder of the young Samuel Luiz that occurred on Sunday, July 3, next to the Riazor beach, in A Coruña. The concentration called by various associations for the defense of the LGTBI collective began at eight o'clock in the afternoon and in it you could see dozens of rainbow flags


The high temperatures, of about 40 degrees, did not prevent about a thousand people yesterday, according to data from the Government Delegation, from demonstrating at eight o'clock in the afternoon in the Puerta del Sol in defense of the group of lesbians, gays, transsexuals and bisexuals (LGTBI) and to protest the murder of the young Samuel Luiz that occurred on Sunday, July 3, next to the Riazor beach, in A Coruña. The concentration called by various associations for the defense of the LGTBI collective began at eight o'clock in the afternoon and in it you could see dozens of rainbow flags and banners in which you could read "Homophobia and fascism are the same" or "Justice for Samuel ! Murderers, all, to the judge ”. Chants were also chanted such as "It was not for a motive, it was for a fag" - referring to the reasons for the murder of Samuel Luiz -, "I'm also a shit fag" or "murderers, murderer", in addition to proclamations against Vox the extreme right: "Franco is not dead, he is in Congress." One of the attendees, Gerardo Matarranz, explained that yesterday's rally was the continuation of the one registered last Monday and on this occasion it sought to silence all groups that deny the homophobic nature of the murder of the young A Coruña. "The atmosphere has been unanimous against this idea," added this young man. The organizers read a statement at the end in which they denounced "the continuous harassment", "violence" and "fear" suffered by the group. “Enough of attacks and deaths. Not one more. We are together and organized ”, highlighted the final writing, which was read to continuous ovations from the attendees. “They killed Samuel for being a fag,” the organizers repeated on several occasions.
