CONCERNS have been raised about an Orange march that was held in Spain this week.
A clip has been doing the rounds on social media of a march taking place in the streets of Benidorm, where previously such demonstrations have been banned.
A Twitter account called Rangers FC & Linfield FC - with handle @bluesbrothers86 - posted a clip of the march which has been shared by another user calling for a ban on the practice in the country.
Account @umawrnkl shared the video saying: "Are you f***ing kidding me lmaooo please ban these people from Spain."

Back in 2005, an illegal march took place on July 12 in Benidorm which the town hall and the provincial government in Alicante had apparently forbid.
More than a dozen organisers were fined six thousands euros each, according to the Belfast Telegraph.
Benidorm's municipal police chief at the time insisted the march hadn't been authorised.
July is renowned as a day when members of Protestant loyal orders parade to mark the Battle of Boyne in 1690.
In response to the clip, other Twitter users expressed dismay at an Orange march taking place in the coastal city.
One said: "It's sad that this is what the locals will now associate with Scottish people."
Another said: "Noooooo! Why would Spain let them do this?!?! I thought Europe was safe from the crap."
Other people also referenced marches taking place in Turkey.
