A college dorm in Spain this week has entered the headlines for the behaviour of some of its students.

Videos have been circulating for days of a group of male students at the Complutense University of Madrid chanting obscene, misogynistic abuse at female students.

Spanish prosecutors are investigating the clips, with the university already expelling 'the ringleader'.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez criticised the "macho, inexplicable, unjustified and absolutely repugnant behaviour".

In one video that is circulating on Twitter, one student shouted: "Whores, come out of your holes, bunnies. You are a load of nymphomaniac whores."

In a choreographed move, fellow students across the all-male's Colegio Mayor Elías Ahuja pulled open their blinds and started shouting and making animal noises at the opposite building.

That building was the Colegio Mayor Santa Mónica dorm, an all-women's dorm.

The disturbing footage has been doing the rounds this week.

Politicians across the country have immediately condemned the actions of the men in the video.

PM Sánchez said: "We should not give any excuse for these behaviours which surely don't represent the general feeling of Spanish society.

"I think it's important that all political parties and the media express a clear 'no' to these macho behaviours, and do not take a single step back on real equality between men and women."

Spain's Equality Minister, Irene Montero, said it was the 'clearest proof' of the need for education on sexual consent.

She added: "That way all the boys and girls and teenagers in our country will learn that treating people right is right, and that treating them wrong is wrong.

"That way they’ll learn about the culture of consent so that we can stop reinforcing the culture of rape and sexual terror that makes women into sexual objects."

Her words were echoed by Pilar Alegría, the country's education minister: "We need to keep advancing as an equal society and that’s why education and equality policies are so important. There’s no going backwards in the face of sexism," she said.

Colegio Mayor Elías Ahuja released a statement on the incident on Instagram.

In that, they said the actions of the people in their residence was 'unacceptable' and said the act was 'incomprehensible and inadmissible in society'.

They confirmed the college will commit "to an education based on values such as friendship, respect, sense of community, solidarity and equality".

Madrid's public prosecutor has opened an investigation to decide whether the incident could be deemed as a hate crime.
