The name of Pedro Fernando Fernández Perdices, founder of the recently closed DSO store, is not one more within the intricate neo-Nazi movement in Madrid. His figure is directly related to the history of the Autonomous Bases (BB.AA.), a small group that emerged in the eighties as an evolution of the National Revolutionary Youth (JNR), which was the youth branch of the Spanish Circle of Friends of Europe (Cedade ).
He, then a student at the Autonomous University, is credited with Carlos Ruiz de Castro and Ignacio Alonso García with the creation of this organization, highly radicalized and whose activity caused a wave of attacks related to ‘skinheads’ never seen in the city. . A climate of tension and hatred spread in the streets that would end up exploding after the murder of the Dominican Lucrecia Perez on November 13, 1992.
The case provoked an unprecedented social reaction due to the coldness with which the civil guard Luis Merino Pérez, 25, shot his victim after going hunting through the old Four Roses nightclub in Aravaca (where migrant citizens spent the night), along with three under 16 years old. All four belonged to ‘skinhead’ gangs and the only motive for the murder was their hatred of black people.
A little over a year later, in January 1995, Carlos Ruiz de Castro committed suicide in the office of his friend Fernández Perdices with a shot to the head. That macabre event removed the lawyer from the front line, although this would not affect his eagerness for business. In a Raxen report, from the Movement Against Intolerance, Partridges is cited as the holder of ‘Three Stroke’ in Europe, a brand used by members of the extreme right.
Among them the soldier Josué Estébanez, the same one who on the morning of November 11, 2007 in which he murdered the young anti-fascist Carlos Palomino was wearing a sweatshirt with an anagram of the brand. The 16-year-old minor was going with dozens of people to boycott a demonstration in Usera of the far-right National Democracy party, when they ran into Josué in the Legazpi metro. Palomino recognized the soldier’s garment and pointed to the drawing, not knowing that his reaction would be to stab him in the heart.
