The conflict between gangs

Fights between different groups are already a reality on the streets of Madrid. For years, officials have admitted that gangs have become a problem that has kept several regions of Spain on edge.

According to a report by the Latin Gangs Observatory, around 2,500 young people are affiliated with these groups in the Iberian capital, a fifth of them under 13 years old. “Recruitment in schools increased during the coronavirus pandemic as nightclubs, which were previously recruitment points for gangs, were closed,” they said.

The Ñetas, the Latin Kings, the Trinitarios and the Dominican Don’t Play (DDP) are the most numerous gangs in the Community of Madrid, where there are also members of the Bloods, the Forty Two, the Mara Salvatrucha and La Barrio 18. Most of these bands had their origins in the United States and, over the years and with the flow of immigration, they moved to the European city.
