Some far-left movements have spoken up against "illegalization threats."

In a press conference on Wednesday, several groups including the CUP party, and the youth organization Arran, called for an antifascist front and other "clearly democratic" instruments to face such threats.

"Building up alliances to defend fundamental rights is more necessary than ever," said CUP MP Maria Sirvent.
