Fatima Hamed

Born in Ceuta, a Spanish exclave in North Africa, Hamed was raised by Moroccan parents in Los Rosales, a neighbourhood with social problems.

[1][2] In late 2014, Hamed left the Caballas Coalition, and set up the Movement for Dignity and Citizenship (MDyC) ahead of the 2015 Ceuta Assembly election.

[6] In 2021, Hamed received attention during a Spanish–Moroccan border crisis when she criticised the arrival of Vox leader Santiago Abascal in Ceuta and labelled him persona non grata.

She was attacked by Carlos Verdejo, the party's spokesman in the Assembly of Ceuta, who called her an advocate of Jihad and Sharia and proposed her deportation to Morocco.

[7] In November 2021, Hamed was one of five left-wing women who set up a new political platform, alongside deputy prime minister Yolanda Díaz, mayor of Barcelona Ada Colau, vice president of the Valencian Community Mónica Oltra and member of the Assembly of Madrid Mónica García.
