Police raid EDA TV to arrest Vito Quiles but fail to find him
The court-issued arrest warrant against far-right agitator Vito Quiles has ended with him listed as 'not located'. Officers from the Policía Nacional (Spain's national police) turned up this Wednesday at the headquarters of EDA TV, the YouTube channel where he works, but the young man was not in the newsroom.
The incivil case against Quiles stems from the April 2025 blackout. According to legal sources quoted by EFE, the suspect went to the home of Red Eléctrica chairwoman Beatriz Corredor to demand she answer for the outage. The judge issued the order without specifying the exact procedure involved.
Reactions were not long in coming. While some see it as a logical consequence of his actions, others openly speak of political repression. Hashtags such as #YO CON VITO or #VitoEstáEnMiCasa are circulating on social media. The open question now is whether Quiles will turn himself in voluntarily or whether the police will manage to close in on him.
