Montero’s “replacement” speech misquoted online, she wants to defeat racists, not erase Spaniards

Some social media posts claim Irene Montero wants to “replace native Spaniards” with migrants. That is false. In a Zaragoza campaign speech she said she hopes to “sweep this country of fascists and racists with migrant people, with working people” to empower voters who have been excluded or underrepresented. The verified fact is that her words are about political change and expanding voter influence, not biological or ethnic replacement. The exaggeration on social media cherry-picks her wording to make it sound like she supports a literal demographic replacement, which misleads people about her actual intent.
