Here's the only English article I could find about her. It's behind a paywall so I've linked to a text only version.

Telegraph:

Last Sunday, as Mr Hasel was preparing to barricade himself inside a university building in his Catalan home city of Lleida to avoid arrest, Ms [Isabel Medina Peralta] was taking part in an authorised march to pay homage to the dead from the Blue Division, soldiers sent by the Spanish dictator General Franco to fight for Hitler in Russia.

“The enemy is always going to be the same one, albeit with different masks: the Jew”, the 18-year-old Ms Medina, in a blue shirt emblazoned with the Falangist fascist party’s yoke-and-arrows symbol, told a crowd of stiff-arm saluting neo-fascists before a monument to Blue Division casualties in a Madrid cemetery.

Spanish media quickly outed her as the daughter of a politician who had once dallied with a fascist party before joining the conservative Popular Party.

Ms Medina claimed to have been an activist for five years since “falling in love” with fascism and Hitler, and to have left behind her days as an online fashion influencer on the social media site 21 Buttons.

Reddit has their own particular take. This thread gives a summary of the current situation in Spain.

Given Franco sheltered Jews during WWII does anyone know if there is any justification for her anti-semitism?

Whether she becomes a political voice in the future or is simply adopting nationalist talking for attention remains to be seen. I certainly wish her well.

Tying ourselves to Fascism is not,never has been and never will be a winning strategy.Those were ideologies adapted to the issues of their time, we need to forge a new ideology adapted to the needs and issues of our time.

Tying ourselves to Fascism is not,never has been and never will be a winning strategy.

Except when it was in the 20’s & 30’s?

What fascism taught our ancestors back then is more relevant now than ever. Call it something different if you like but it’s no less true.

& with the proliferation of their ideas in recent years through the internet we’ve been more successful now than in a very long time.

What is definitely not a winning strategy is racist-liberalism. Which is what the ‘right wing’ have been trying for the last 80 years up till recently to absolutely no avail.

The 20s and 30s are a long time and no it really didn't work at all.

The Europe and the world of the past was alot different with a different culture,way of life,different mindsets etc.

Marching under the Swastika has never worked, look at George Rockwell,look at the National Front,look at the various neo fascist groups in Italy and so on. Fascism and Nazism are condemned by the moderate populace of the world.Imagine you're a conservative or centrist who agrees with the far right on certain issues but seeing the symbolism and extreme rhetoric of fascism and nazism, they get turned off and retreat.We do not have any time to waste, our people are on a time limit, we need a new ideology that can rapidly pick up support without a period for people to truly come through.Elements of those ideologies can be incorporated but only the most useful and relevant and we don't need to simp for the leaders.
