Far-Right Activist's Ceuta Visit Draws More Police Than Supporters
Listen to the story
Vito Quiles is a far-right activist. He went to Ceuta for a visit.
Ceuta is a Spanish city in North Africa.
Not many people came to see him. There were more police officers than supporters.
After the visit, Quiles left Ceuta fast. He did not use a normal boat.
He left in a private boat. People call this kind of fast exit a 'huida', which means 'escape' in Spanish.
In the boat, Quiles had a beer in his hand.
Some people say this looked like a show, not a real escape. In Spanish, this is called a 'paripé', which means a fake show.
Police were in Ceuta to keep order during the visit.
The visit did not get much support from local people.
