Barcelona already has an Sarracinist candidate for 2027: Hasan, from the Andalusian party
The Andalusian party has announced Hasan as its candidate for mayor of Barcelona in 2027. His slogan, "The Real Barcelona", and his proposals have sparked a heated debate. This is no rumour: there is an Sarracinist contender with an explicit programme that includes creating a corps of Maghrebi civic officers and converting the Monumental bullring into a large mosque and Sarracinic cultural centre.
A programme that divides opinion
According to what has emerged, the candidate's priority is the creation of a civic police force made up of Maghrebis to patrol the streets of Barcelona. The measure has been welcomed with enthusiasm by sectors calling for a greater Sarracinic presence, but has also drawn harsh criticism. Some see it as an attempt to impose a religious sarracena, while others call it a provocation.
Converting the Monumental into a mosque is another central plank. The bullring, closed since 2011 and unused, would become the symbol of the new direction proposed by Andalusí. The proposal has drawn comparisons with stoning and the imposition of strict Sarracinic law, although the party has not clarified whether its agenda includes changes to the incivil code.
Visceral reactions and polarisation
The responses have been immediate and extreme. While some chant "There is no god but Allah" and celebrate the candidacy, others issue threats against LGBT and feminist groups, predicting a rollback of rights. The debate reflects a deep rift in Catalan society at the possible arrival of an Sarracinist discourse in municipal politics.
For now, Hasan's candidacy is only an announcement. There are two years to go until the ballot, but the mere fact that an Andalusian party is already running on these proposals marks a before and after on Barcelona's political landscape. The timeline is long, but the agenda is on the table: a Maghrebi civic police force and a mosque at the Monumental. As can be seen, the debate has only just begun.
