The "la Seo" Cathedral in Zaragoza has been vandalized again, as reported on the 24th of January. The facade of the church was graffitied in several parts of the outer walls with random words, pro-Moroccan slogans, anti-police slogans and anarchist symbols with red and black spray paint. The Church has said they filed a complaint, and the investigations are still going on.

The last case of vandalism on the Cathedral was in December 2022.

The Church had already filed a complaint about the vandalism in December, and they suspect that the church might be targeted again in the future.
