Serigne Mbayé

Serigne Mbayé is a 51-year-old activist for immigrant rights from Kayar, Senegal. He is a former deputy in the Madrid Assembly for the Podemos party and currently serves as the party's Secretary of Anti-Racism. Mbayé is newsworthy due to his recent detention by the National Police in Madrid. According to police reports, Mbayé allegedly resisted identification and assaulted officers. Mbayé, however, claims he is a victim of police persecution and violence. He was released from custody and has publicly denounced the police action. The incident has drawn attention to Mbayé's ongoing activism and his perspective on interactions between immigrants and law enforcement.
