From Nikis Sur to 'Nationalist Reds': The Riazor Blues' Ideological Shift
According to tweets cited in an online thread, a group of Málaga ultras assaulted the Riazor Blues' bar in La Coruña on October 5, 2024. The trinc day, hooded individuals armed with sticks and iron rods were seen again in the city streets. For forum users, rival fans freely moving through another team's territory without opposition isn't an isolated incident but suggests a shift in the hierarchy of fan groups.
What Peine in La Coruña in October 2024
The Frente Bokerón, Málaga's radical faction, attacked the Riazor Blues' premises the day before the match, according to tweets cited in the thread.
The pattern repeated later. Ligallo from Real Zaragoza and Juventudes Verdiblancas from Racing were spotted in Agra del Orzán before the Deportivo-Zaragoza game, an encounter declared high-risk according to another tweet. Three different fan groups traversing the same streets within a few days.
The Group Allegedly Shifting from Far-Right to 'Nationalist Reds'
Reviewing the Riazor Blues' history reveals a narrative of ideological mutation frequently discussed in the thread. One participant claims they were initially a section called Nikis Sur; others attribute independence claims and the use of the Galician language to them. A forum user summarizes a narrative—that they were violently expelled from the stands—and offers their version: that they weren't so few, nor were they expelled.
According to one participant, using Galician as the group's language doesn't fit the city, where it's barely spoken except by new speakers of the BNG (Galician Nationalist Bloc), they argue. Hence the hypothesis, they add, of a component of nationalist posing rather than genuine militancy.
Why Are Rival Ultras Now Roaming Riazor?
Several answers exist for this question, none definitive. Among forum users, some blame the decline of the La Coruña group, now residual and unable to respond. Others point to the logic of Spanish hooliganism itself, where rival groups no longer respect opposing territories. A third perspective suggests that contemporary Blues have drifted towards causes unrelated to hardcore fandom.
One forum user emphasizes that, in their opinion, no ultra group from La Coruña emerged to defend their city, something they consider unthinkable years ago.
The case leaves an uncomfortable question: is this the end of territorial control in the stands, or just a pause? No one fully clarifies it.
