The consternation over the murder of Younes Bilal after defending a waitress and her friends for the racist insults proffered by Carlos Patricio B. M. in a bar in Mazarrón, continues to be demonstrated in the streets and permeating the debate. "What problem do you have with the Moors? Respect us! ”Bilal told the 52-year-old ex-military man, who returned armed with a pistol and fired three shots in the chest that he did not survive. The murderer, arrested while fleeing along the beach, has been charged with murder and illegal possession of a weapon. The death of this 37-year-old man, who leaves behind a wife and a 10-year-old son, fits for many into an environment of growing hate speech and racism, which has brought the far-right Vox party to power and at the same time, has seen legitimized and amplified by the loudspeaker that this party has been given by having reached the institutions, with four deputies (although three of them were expelled from the party due to internal conflicts). Already on June 16, hundreds of people, many of Maghreb origin, gathered in memory of Younes in the port of Mazarrón to demand justice. “My question is why. What was their sin? To be Maghreb?

The term anti-moorish racism, the specific and historical hatred of the neighbors of the South, has gained prominence in social networks and debates in recent days. The journalist and activist Youssef Ouled defined it like this on Twitter: “Anti-moorish racism is not a pathology, it is an ideology rooted in the DNA of this country. People with mental problems don't murder overnight. Racism kills ”, responded thus to the first articles that spoke of an alleged mental disorder of the Younes murderer.
