Far-right activists groomed people by "piggybacking on legitimate concerns" about asylum seekers, a prominent Welsh politician has said.
Former government minister Lee Waters said vulnerable constituents in Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, were targeted to push a "race agenda" during protests in the town in 2023.
UK government plans to temporarily house asylum seekers in the four-star Stradey Park Hotel prompted 100 days of protests.
The Llanelli MS' comments come as pressure grows on police to investigate a far-right group exposed in an undercover BBC investigation.
"What the far right do time and again is put themselves in the middle of legitimate grievances and push their agenda of race," said Mr Waters.
"In the case of Llanelli, people were rightly annoyed and upset that they couldn't get to see their doctor [or] be housed, and saw the one nice hotel in the town given over to asylum seekers
"The [far-right] groomed people. They took vulnerable people and gave them a purpose, a community and created a sense of of camaraderie.
"People who otherwise hadn't been radicalised and hadn't talked about politics were suddenly coming out with stuff which was horrible and did not represent most people in Llanelli.
"They have a very clear tactic and we need to call them out to challenge it."

Nice use of the word “groomed” to imply they are the equivalent of muzzie rapists and murderers. Not fooling anybody. Scum.
Political persuasion = “grooming”
Raping and exploiting little children = “grooming”
I guess it’s the same thing. [/s]
Ahhh. Trust the British to instruct on the proper use of loaded language.
This is terrible, the people have started to notice to our scam. The only solution is more censorship.
Well, considering they have a Muslim king, what do you expect.
So, it's okay to be "rightly annoyed" when your rights are abridged, your resources plundered, and your tax-payer
services stolen, but how DARE you name the source of injustice!
Sniveling Lee Waters has his panties in a bunch and lashes out at those aggrieved by his party's bad policies.
Far right.
That means different things in different countries.
“In the case of Llanelli, people were rightly annoyed and upset that they couldn’t get to see their doctor [or] be housed, and saw the one nice hotel in the town given over to asylum seekers
Same tactics we face in the USA. If you want to preserve your culture and not allow it to be overrun by foreign invaders, you are a kook. How do you like that? Try to overrun your towns with uninvited foreign invaders who do not have a stake in your nation, do not share our values, do not fit in and you are now a "groomer." Sheesh.
Stalin would be the first to tell you that Trotsky was “Far Right”.
It’s very bad when the people are allowed to start talking about politics.
There is no ‘far right’ in the US.
“This is terrible, the people have started to notice to our scam. The only solution is more censorship.”
Good luck with that. X is a far more popular source of news these days, and they can’t even block other news sources when people can just use VPNs.
